What the video covers

What to eat before training? 1-4 g of carbs per kilo, 1-4 hours before, for long sessions (Thomas et al., 2016, ACSM). 3 mg of caffeine per kilo, an hour before, improves performance (Guest et al., 2021). 46 studies: fasted uses more fat, eating performs better in long efforts (Aird et al., 2018). For strength, it is enough to have eaten normally. The video ends by showing how to create the routine in Progrevia.
