Not being a scientist sometimes means you get to think logically and not have to back it up with some made-up science project!! Joey, I agree with all three points.

Another theory I have is that while fasting blood is supplied to the brain and muscles, blood is essential to repair of damaged tissues. Now eating a big carb heavy meal would, imo, divert the blood from those damaged muscles and into the digestive system further impairing muscle repair. 2) I have read the six part post over at iflife.com about what happens to your body when you fast, which deals extensively with tissue repair and anti inflammation. Two bonuses of IF that are a big factor in why I IF that I feel would be negated during a critical time if I break my fast immediately post workout. 3) Finally, on an adaptive level, Grok probably would have failed on a hunt fairly regularly. Especially when he was just learning how. This, IMO, would cause our adaptive mechanisms to insure that next time Grok went out hunting, he would be able to run faster and throw his spear further in order to see to it that he doesn't fail again. Now I am by no means a scientist and it's easy to make arguments for anything if you try hard enough. But I was just wondering what your thoughts would be on some of these points.

Good reasons for both, I guess, but remember that in PB workouts, you really don't need to refill glycogen stores the way you do if you are training longer, harder and higher heart-rates. When there's no need for extar glycogen, there's no need to eat extra. meanhwile, HGH improves when you DON'T eat PWO. As for PWO nutrition, sometimes I eat and sometimes I don’t.
