MCT Oil Pre-workout

Training
1

Hey CT,
As im leaning out at the moment and carbs being lower 150g-175g, as you have mentioned in your fat loss tips, if extra energy is needed, take MCT pre workout. What is a good amount to take pre work in mls or grams?

Thanks,
Henri

I use it pre workout and swear by it.
I use 15mls of MCT, 20g of BCAA’S and 20g maltodextrin.
Hope this helps

Hey Christian,

  1. Just wanted to know what is the difference between using Dextrose/Maltodextrin vs MCT Oil for my Pre/During training drink?

  2. Which one is better or is a combination of each best particularly during a fat loss period?

Im leaning out atm on 150g-175g carbs a day, for my pre/during training drink ive been having 25g Dextrose and 25g Maltodextrin, 50g carbs total along with 10g BCAA, 3g AAKG plus an a electrolyte formula…

  1. Is re-arranging this to include MCT oil in place of some or all of the carbs a strategy to pursue and if so how should I do this in terms of amounts for each?

Thank you
Henri

Have you compared this with training fasted? Or training with just BCAA’s? Or plazma?

I think if you actually eat a balanced meal a few hours before you train, there is literally no need for preworkout/intra stuff.

It’s only good for fasted training and/or placebo benefit (you fele the gains when something sugary is in your mouth)

My pre workout supps work to a tee for me.
I am on a 16:8 fasting plan which I absolutely love and is working very well for me.
Other than my pre workout drink (30 mins prior to gym) I train fasted and feel great.
My carbs are centralised around my workout. 20g pre and up to 80g fast absorb carb after.
