Hmm, is this really so? I always thought maximal or submaximal strength efforts like sixes to tens primarily use CrP for fuel. I´m having a hard time to believe glycogen would have any effect on maximal muscle strength other than by an increased intracellular pressure and possibly by an increased mental alertness. From what I´ve learned maximal muscle work requires far more energy than can be converted from glycogen, even anaerobically. This is a really interesting question though. Let me know your thoughts.
