Pre Workout Carbohydrate Consumption
There has been a lot of new coaches / trainers recommending high glycemic foods pre work in order to promote an anabolic state. What research have you guys come accross on this topic and what is your opinion on it?
In my opinion I have always beleived in low GI foods pre workout in order to maximize insulin sensitivity post workout as well as ensuring that we don't go into a hypoglycemic state pre workout (insulin will push glucose into the cell causing blood glucose to be lower).

"The truth I’ve discovered is that you don’t have to lift enormous weights to grow muscle. By using stricter form, slower negatives, and stretching between sets you can get an incredible pump in all your workouts. Numbers are an abstraction, especially to muscles. Your body doesn’t know the absolute weight of what you lift, it only recognizes how heavy it feels. The secret is to make lighter weights feel heavier. " - Frank Zane
