    Carb amounts for TKD bulk

    I'm about to transition into a TKD bulk within the next few weeks. What are the recommended amounts of carbs for both pre and post-workout? Additionally, what types of carbs should I be focusing on for each? (I.E. whole-grain bread pre-workout and waxy maize post?)

    Current Stats (currently on a CKD cut so these may change by the time I start TKD)
    156.7 lb
    13.0 % body fat
    5"10

    Preworkout - 5g carbs per 2 sets of weight training (Type doesn't matter)

    Postworkout- 25-50g carbs (glucose)

    Does the book have a recommendation for sets/reps? I've been considering adopting a 5/5 routine.

    i would say... find an amount of calories for bulk... and figure in around 80-100g carbs. eat these around your workouts. i personally take dextrose only post workout for fast storage.

    or you can carb cycle. look at brents keto log. eats low carbs high fat 2 days, then high carbs low fat 1 day... and repeats. moderate protein the entire time.
