Lesson Overview

2.104 – Explosive / Power Training + Fast-Digesting Carbs: Power training depends on speed, coordination, and fast energy. Sprints, jumps, and Olympic-style lifts rely on quick fuel sources. Fast-digesting carbs like fruit, honey, white rice, or toast provide immediate energy. These carbs support rapid force production and reaction time. Heavy fats before power training slow digestion and can reduce sharpness. Sluggish digestion can make explosive movements feel slow and uncoordinated. Power training also challenges the nervous system, which prefers quick fuel. Eating light but effective carbs helps maintain speed without stomach discomfort. This lesson teaches that timing matters more for power than for size. Fast energy supports fast movement. When carbs are matched to explosive work, performance improves noticeably. Power training works best when fuel keeps the body responsive.
