I've been considering bringing a bottle of apple juice. I get gassed after about 1 hour, where my brain still wants to go but I'm too weak.I wonder if there's a study or something? Would be worth finding out if it'll actually help.
>>77219285Buy some actual carbo mix that has both simple and complex carbohydrates in it. Bonus points if it has electrolytes too. Sprinkle in some citruline and you have a great endurance drink.
>>77218881I keep sugar packets in my pocket in case I get lightheaded (not diabetic, though). sometimes between a bunch of sets I'll eat one and drink some of my gatorade and caffeine mix with it.
>>77219297>buyWell look at this rich boy spending money for every workout instead of just grabbing a few things from the pantry
>>77219302>rich boyIt's dirt cheap man. Do you want real ghetto version? Because I've done it too:>make some pasta but overcook it without adding salt to the water>sprinkle some salt on it and eat itWon't be the best culinary experience of your life, but it's easy to digest complex carbs (pasta) simple carbs (sugar) and some hydration (water absorbed by pasta) in one package.
>>77219302oh you must be talking about the few things from the pantry that weren't purchased my bad
>>77219308FML and phoneposting... Sprinkle some SUGAR.
>>77218881I'd explain why it doesn't but fuck it, it doesn't hurt you so enjoy your placebo. If you feel it helps, it might actually.

>>77219308>an hour into my workout>"wow i'm pooped haha">reaches into pocket>pulls out soggy overcooked plain pasta by the handful>downing that shit like a goblin>people are staring>they will never understand my devotion to the iron>phew almost lost my gains there
>>77219302>>77219285Fruit juice is mostly fructose, and fructose does not refill the glycogen of your muscles, only your liver, so it would be subpar for working out.
>>77219507more info on this? fructose is really metabolized that much differently than dextrose?
fitness culture is so oversaturated with retarded dogshit that niggers like op are recreating gatorade and electrolyte drinks from first principles
>>77219475Whatever it takes
>>77219565Ok
>>77219285Lots of people use intra workout carbs but usually its for 2 hour workouts, high cardio, or people who work out 2 times per dayIf you are gassed after 1 hour it might not be glycogen depletion, it might be oxygen limited if you aren't breathing or have mucus glocking your airways.
>>77219475palms are sweaty
>>77218881>I drink sugar water during my workouts, I feel like it helps
It takes like 5 hours for sugar to become glycogen in your muscle. And there is no way you are crashing your blood sugar doing some curls or whatever, that only applies to marathon runners or distance cyclists. Enjoy your placebo diabetes juice tho
>>77220142>doing some curls or whateverOk, bro
>>77220142there are studies about how !!sometimes!! just putting sugary drinks into your mouth lets your body perform better because your body thinks it will get more glucose soon (even if you spit it out). You can look them up, it's pure placebo. >Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Decreases Time to Complete a Simulated Cycling Time Trial>Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse Improves Cycling Time-Trial Performance without Altering Plasma Insulin Concentration>Carbohydrate Rinse Fails to Enhance Cycling Performance or Alter Metabolic and Autonomic Recovery in Recreational Cyclists
I drink baking soda water to counter lactic acid. I don't know if it works but it has a good sodium taste like sugarless gatorade.
>>77220156You debunked nothing that he said.
>>77220163They've actually done studies. The studies show that the amount of beans and soda you would have to consume to meaningfully combat lactic acid buildup is insane. Mechanistically, it works, but in practice, it's infeasible.
>>77218881Maybe? Sugar helps w hydration, if you added salt it's basically what Gatorade is, without the flavor. Although it probably wouldn't taste very good. If I feel very dehydrated I'll sometimes make a very weak lemonade essentially w a lot of salt, works very well.
>>77220193what do you mean debunked? he said it's placebo and i said the same thing. it's placebo. it's even a documented placebo.
>>77220142I drink sugar water before my workout?
>>77219475kek
>>77218881I put lemonade powder in my water. Sugar is great for immidiate energy demands, which is what workouts are.
I got some big blood pressure drops and dizziness if I had a hard session and an intra helped me
