Lesson Overview

2.101 – Heavy Strength Training + High-Carb, Moderate-Fat Meals: Heavy strength training places high demand on muscle glycogen and the nervous system. Lifting heavy weights requires quick energy so muscles can fire with power and control. Carbohydrates like rice, potatoes, oats, and fruit refill glycogen so each rep stays strong. When carbs are too low, lifts feel heavier even at familiar weights. Moderate fats help support hormones that protect recovery and strength output. Foods like eggs and olive oil support joint health and long-term performance. Heavy lifting without enough carbs often leads to stalled progress and poor recovery between sessions. Strength workouts also stress the nervous system, which relies on steady fuel to stay sharp. Eating enough before and after training helps maintain focus and stability under load. This lesson teaches that heavy lifting is not just about effort, but about preparation. When food supports strength demands, progress becomes more predictable. Matching carbs and fats to heavy training allows strength to rise safely and consistently.
