Wondered if you could either chat about it in your next pod, or respond to me on here But atm I have a real bad relationship with carbs and would like your opinion on them. Especially in a muscle building phase. So basically. I was on a diet a year or so ago, to trim down, which meant I didn’t eat carbs prior to working out (well very little anyway) and then would only consume them post training for muscle replenishment and prior to going bed due to hormone release and helping me feel tired (this was advised to me by a personal trainer).Since then I’ve always been under the impression carbs should be ‘earned’. I’ve been led to believe they should only be consumed around workouts when building muscle. Pre workout. Post workout and the meal After that also. I am so anal about it now I can’t let it slip, and feel bad if I consume carbs without it being pre, post or post 1 workout

Hey Tj, I am an 18 year old South African rugby fanatic. I have a quick question for you, how can I play with more physicality and get noticed more. I play 4 lock so I clean a lot of rucks. Any tips? Look forward to hearing from you. 4 times a week full body focussing on compound movements. 2 push , 2 pull and 2 leg exercises per session with core after each superset. Twice a week field session.
