And yeah HIT or sprints are good ways to actually gain muscle. I'm just saying people go so far to the point where they need to break down protien to keep going. And ur body will often consume protien before it tries to switch over consuming its fat stores, unless you are already consuming your fat stores. So carb loading can be bad.

Hmmm, that I don’t know enough about either way. I know I personally only carb loaded before a timed competitive race, like a half marathon. I researched it first, and found out the serious competitors start doing it 2 days before their race, then the day before, but not on race day. Usually like full plates of rice, the goal is to become completely waterlogged, water-retentent, because that stored water in the cells somehow gets converted to replace lost glycogen. I never bothered to carb load before any regular exercise run though
Race day I would do a mix of sativa edible weed (which I always do when working out because it increases focus, and makes me enjoy my music more), 2 scoops pre-workout powder (for that super crank), and then I would beg a single Vicodin, oxy, or Percocet pill from a relative who had them leftover from surgery. I’d only do one of these pills on race day. These almost completely shut off the burning feeling of lactic acid
I’m not being drug tested, so why not? Lol. I don’t recommend doing something like that for a regular run, easy way to become addicted to opioids
