Don't cut carbs low it makes you grumpy

That's my default. Beer and protein makes this one happy.

You are aware beer has carb contents right?

Did you not read my answer to what carb sources I intake, or are you just making a joke? I can roll with both.

I think some people focused too much on your question.... My questions is, how come your doing 2-3 HOURS of powerlifting??? Sounds like you are extending beyond the beneficial aspect of lifting when your program requires up to 3 hours. Which has shown to have more negative effects unless your a genetic freak bodybuilder. Even then, they don't train that long.

Bodybuilding and powerlifting is different. Bodybuilding = higher reps, lower sets usually (debatable) and lower rest rate between 0-1min. Hence shorter workouts.
Powerlifting = lower reps, higher sets and higher rests between 1-5 min and sometimes longer.

BTW shodan, I wouldn't recommend going too low on carbs. Tried it, never again. You will just be wayyyy to fatigued, mentally and physically. Anything but carbs won't work for long. Especially with the intensity of the sport. If you're trying to lean out, put a bit of cardio or HIIT into your training while aiming to lose 1kg BW or less per week.

And when you roll with power building, you get the best of both painful worlds. Lol

How low was too low for you? With work I can't afford brain fog, or fatigue.


Cardio or hiit. Damn. Damn. Damn. Lol. I swore off cardio after finishing a triathlon. With the potential IR, I don't know, I might need to get drastic for a bit.

Dammit.

Hopefully you don't have insulin resistance and eventually you won't have to worry about carbs. Good luck to you.

Been reading some on it, yeah, I hope o don't have it. Thanks.

I listen to this guy's (http://phil-graham.com/) podcast every so often and he is diabetic. He is a competitive bodybuilder/coach in Ireland and writing a book called "The Diabetic Blueprint". He offers a free e-book as a teaser called "The Diabetic Fitness Report" which might offer you some pertinent information as it relates to insulin resistance and fitness in general.

Disclaimer: I have not read or downloaded the e-book, but just going off of his podcasts, it sounds like it might some applicable information for you.
