In this episode of The Knowledge Podcast by Wahoo, hosts Jinger Gottschall and Mac Cassin explore the age-old question of whether to load or not to load on carbs, water, and bicarb before exercise. They discuss the benefits and limitations of carbohydrate-loading, including how it can increase both muscle and liver glycogen, essential fuel stores for sustained high-intensity exercise. Jinger and Mac also examine the role of water in preventing dehydration and how pre-exercise hyperhydration can improve endurance capacity. Additionally, they discuss the use of sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate in increasing plasma volume and delaying exhaustion during high-intensity exercise. Tune in to discover the latest research on these strategies and decide for yourself whether loading up is the way to go!
