How Much Glucose Do We Store? Does Lifting Weights Decrease Glycogen? 

If a simple leg ext workout does that, imagine what a heavy full body would do

It is true that your body begins resynthesize Glycogen after a workout, but if glycogen is too low, it does this by using adrenaline and cortisol stress hormone to break down amino acids/protein to convert to glucose. This isn’t the best thing for anabolism. So from that stand point I’d say carbs after a workout is important.

Super helpful. Thank you for making this

Great video! Thank you for all the information

Mabey the amount of glycogen usage between the high rep and low rep , as in the distance runner and weight lifter . is the total amount of kaloric usage. Or the amount of work the muscle has done. The more strenuous the work load the more energy used. The body is an amazing machine .

uh, the real reason to carb load right after workout vs some other time of day isint due to the muscles being depleted, is due to the need for high insulin levels post-workout. its much better to have high insulin levels around workout than other times of day.

Ok does 1 gram of carbs or sugars equal 1 gram of 1 gram of glycogen? Stored in the muscles once consumed?

If you've not eaten anything for hours after lifting and your body re-synthesises glycogen, is that from stored fat then?

isn't normal fasting glucose only 80-100 mg/dl or, 4-5g of sugar? Where does the ~25g come from?

considering that digestion in the stomach Takes Like one hours and complete digestion of one meal Takes 5-7 hours it is No Wonder that people resythesyse glycogen after Training automaticly because the meals and carbohydrates before the workout are still digesting

But how does the body resynthesize glycogen? Gluconeogenesis (so fat or protein converted into glucose)?

Hi i have some questions for you (sorry about my english)i would be so happy if you inform me 1. After eating Sugar(Glycogen) ,Bread etc, fat , protein, what is the cycle of these foods timing ,you say muscles and liver stock glygocen , i try to eat after i get really hungry and after eating i start working out even i get appromaxitely 300 500 kalorie meal mostly vegetables and a little bread sometimes i put some sugar on my tea ,when i am hungry and i eat, do the foods first get in to my mucsles or liver (do these foods fill my deficiency of my glycogen stock in my muscles and liver firstly?, i first try to use up most of the glycogen in my body before i start abs excersize because abs workout is kinda difficult ,and when i workout abs i feel like the body first use the glycogen stocks, i keep my self starving before abs workout, would you inform me about glycogen fat timing to get in to blood ,muscles and the capacity ,do muscles stock the glycogen as glycogen form or turn them in to fat , thanks

How many calories in our liver and muscle glycogen? Do my glycogen stores expand over time the more I exercise? And does my body re-synthesise new glycogen from my body fat? Thanks

So resistance training during a period of calorie deficit causes glycogen depletion in the muscle - and that’s why muscle growth is impeded in a deficit? The mass can be maintained but not increased because of a lack of carbs that help build mass?

Volunteers agreed to getting their legs biopsied for science? I don't even know if that is brave or stupid, but I respect it.

He based his video on ONE research made 30 years ago. :facepalm:

I get smaller after I workout

has this study been completed again comparing bodybuilding/powerlifting/HIT training using compound exercises? That is where the facts will lie

He not good at explaining this. Drink some water or something . Those studies are fake anyway.
