Even after a really tough weightlifting session, your muscles don’t run out of fuel fast enough to slow you down, and they can refill just fine even if you don’t eat carbs for a while.

Typical resistance training sessions deplete muscle glycogen by no more than 40%, even under high-volume conditions.

Glycogen depletion during resistance training is negligible in non-fasted individuals performing ≤10 sets per muscle group per session.

People who don’t lift weights regularly burn more sugar from their muscles during a workout than people who lift regularly.

Eating carbs before a normal weight workout doesn’t make you stronger or let you do more reps, unless you’re training super hard with lots of sets or haven’t eaten all day.

The more sets you do when lifting weights, the more sugar your muscles burn through.
