Dedicated to carb cycling for clean bulk or cutting phaze...;

Glycogen powers your training efforts. When you hit the gym, you largely burn the carbs that you ate yesterday and the day before. You don't necessarily burn the carbs that you ate just before the workout or even earlier that day. That's because weight training relies on muscle glycogen (stored carbs) as the primary source of energy. If you follow a high-carb diet and have adequate glycogen stores, you should be able to train harder and longer than when you follow a lower-carb diet
Thats what i experienced. I totally agree with that.

So why most of you guys having your low carb days on non-training days?

nice. of course when you are cutting body fat you have to cut back some..that is why strength/ gym performance goes down.
