Shes eating sugar pre-workout I am not sure why. Post workout she eats sugar because SOME research has shown that sugar post workout is actually beneficial to your muscles. Keep in mind the research that has been done on this shows that the gains you get from sugar in your post workout is so minimal many of us will never see the results from it. IF you are stepping onto stage in a bodybuilding competition or fitness competition and want EVERY little edge you can get then perhaps sugar POST workout may give you that slight edge. IF you want to step onto stage as a bodybuilder or if youre a woman and its a Physique show or Fitness show I would avoid sugars in your daily diet. Sugars from fruits is fine but adding sugar or eating sugary things should be avoided when possible. Again, IF stepping onto stage is your goal.1

Everyone is different. If eating sugar makes you feel awful or weak or if you have a medical condition, then obviously you do you.. but saying sugar is bad for everyone is really generalized and unnecessary. I don't know if I am considered a "bodybuilder" but I have done one very successful bulk, cut, lost pregnancy weight, now bulking again, all while eating sugar in amounts that worked well for me.9 -

I am not telling everyone to eat sugar post-workout.. but I do because it makes me feel good.
So I guess I will never be stage ready, boo hoo8 -
No one said you had to want to step onto stage. But this is a bodybuilding thread. If you want to debate sugar on another thread that is fine. But if you are someone who aspires to step onto stage I would avoid sugars as I stated above.0

Like right before the show? I don't know all the rules that bodybuilders take to dehydrate and prepare for the show. But this section is also for people bulking.. I dont see how sugar while bulking has any affect on being stage ready but ok. I do know Sohee Lee ate a Snickers everyday before her show and she got her pro card.. so.. different strokes9 -

And Ronnie Coleman at a 2 whole pepperoni pizzas the day before he won his 6th MR. OLYMPIA and Jay Cutler use to eat candy post workout. You are talking about people who are loaded on drugs, diet pills etc. They are the 1%, you and I are not. They can get away with it, we cannot.0
