Another thread on TKD pre/post wo carbs

[FunkMasterPhil]

I just realized I had a tub of wms lying around and was curious if i should even use it? I know it's advertised as fast reacting, but many say its actually a slow reacting carb? Which makes me question if I should use this pre or post?

Before, you guys start telling me, its a waste of money, go for whole foods, oats, or whatever, I'm aware of the following points mentioned, but as I said before, I realized I had a tub of wms lying around so I wanted to just make use of it instead letting it sit around collecting dust.

what's the macros on the servings? i would limit it to one scoop a day

1 serving = 40g carbs

1 serving = 40g carbs

I do TKD as well, and I follow an advice I read somewhere to get about 30-40g carbs 45-60 min pre workout, and then immediately after consume 5g per each set done in the gym with protein and no fat. Someone did some extended calculations on how much glycogen muscles consume while lifting and this is where it comes from.

^yep. it doesnt really matter when u get ur carbs, but around the workout seems to be the choice for many

a serving a day would be fine. make sure you stick to TKD, no carb ups. add another scoop if 40g isn't keeping glycogen up.

I agree.

However, considering that wms has been debated about whether it really is a fast acting carb or not, how would you go about taking it for pre/post? If claims are false, that its not fast acting, then at least you can still take it pre workout. But since you want to be kicked out of ketosis for only a short period of time pwo, it would not be beneficial for pwo would it?

Whereas, if it is indeed fast acting, then it'll work the same as a dextrose substitute for pwo.

if you indeed need the carbs to restore glycogen, this happens if you are absent of some, then the carbs will go straight to muscle glycogen storage and not used for energy so you will stay in ketosis either way. whether it restores slowly or fastly.
