Is this even such a thing? Like say for a person who wants to maintain weight for a certain class, would it's just be all calories and macros or are there foods that is better than others for strength and power?
Is there a difference between eating big the day before or the day of or both?Not specifically.
Having full glycogen stores and being hydrated are huge.
But if you want benefits from food you're better off buying a supplement more likely
So eat big before, and get your electrolytes and fluid.
Coffee helps too
The day before should suffice if you maintain normal cals the day ofIs there a difference between eating big the day before or the day of or both?
Carbohydrates are your friend. I often get athletes to eat a handful of jellybeans pre lift or drink decarbonated cokeIs this even such a thing?

When the majority of data supports a position, that position is the most accepted. Data does exist related to power output (been a while since I looked) but IIRC its very mixed.Not power and strength
But interesting to See almonds outperforming carbs before running in trained individuals

Not directly relevant here, but I feel people plug the "carb load" answer to everything.
I train better fasted
Yes, i want further studies done, but still interestingWhen the majority of data supports a position, that position is the most accepted. Data does exist related to power output (been a while since I looked) but IIRC its very mixed. Ill look into the almond text as it seems to have used cookies which are a mix of fat and cho which would delay digestion - you consime glucose packs/ coke etc during a race, not a cookie.

YessirInteresting. I perform better on days after my higher carb days compared to days after a lower carb day. For me, glycogen stores out weigh everything else, even eating pre workout.
Lol and a potatodrol on the sideYou can stack steakadrol with almond-plex
Alright BROI personally find some great foods for power are oatmeal, coconut water, white potatoes and sweet potatoes, steak, eggs, bananas and brown rice. I hate to say it but the bro foods, and imo is mostly because of the micro nutritents that accompany them.
Lol ive been doing that large bowl with two scoops of select and hour before. Been killing it lately. Also sometimes fasted works well for me too. Just feel those clean carbs keep my glycogen full and my energy constant. The quick sugars are very inconsistent for me.Alright BRO
Just be careful with a large bowl of oatmeal pre workout, I found out the hard way once!
I would need 2 hours or more for a large bowl of oatmeal pre workout. Once I only waited an hour and while at the bottom of my squat, my oatmeal ended up on the mirror in front of me.Lol ive been doing that large bowl with two scoops of select and hour before.

Lmao. Dam bro. Thats a horror story.I would need 2 hours or more for a large bowl of oatmeal pre workout. Once I only waited an hour and while at the bottom of my squat, my oatmeal ended up on the mirror in front of me.
If I wash my poptart before I eat it, does that make it "clean"?Lol ive been doing that large bowl with two scoops of select and hour before. Been killing it lately.

This made me laugh. LolI would need 2 hours or more for a large bowl of oatmeal pre workout. Once I only waited an hour and while at the bottom of my squat, my oatmeal ended up on the mirror in front of me.

I think it was a combo of that and also I was going for a new 1RM. My buddy, who was supposed to be spotting me, looked away and I got stuck in the hole. I dumped the weight and as soon as I looked up, it came up.This made me laugh. Lol
