Proper carb loading help!!

[Phishtribe]

I always hear talk about carb loading before a work out but not a lot of information on how much when how long before.... U get it. So my question is for bodybuilding how long before work out to carb load and does it make a big difference?

Carb loading is usually done for things like marathons. athletic events, powerlifting meets...etc.

Well in my opinion it makes lot of difference. You can have it before half an hour of your workout routine.

^^That's called eating.
Carb loading is hundreds of grams of carbs in a specific time frame.

Better ask experts about that thing..We all know that no can understands you better that those who have masters their profession.

Personally, I would begin the day/evening/night before... if you do this and also drink plenty of water you will notice a difference in amount of weight you can lift or distance running endurance.

Additionally, I would do this occasionally and not make it a frequent habit.

What would be your reasoning about not doing it often? I want to be giving all I got in every lift.

Cuz it's unnecessary to "carb load" often. Plus the extra carbs will just spill over

I definitely eat before the gym and get plenty of carbs in me. But I don't really understand carb loading unless I was running a lot.
