The_BearParticipantHello ladies and gents.I'm currently doing the SA protocol of CBL, having started a few weeks ago.I'm wondering what you guys do to fuel long training session, powerlifting meets or strong man comps etc please.I had a 3 hour long session yesterday from 8:30 to 12:00 and I had a backload the night before, and then the morning of the session I was unsure of what the best approach would be. I ended up taking a lot of caffeine pre and ended up crashing towards the end of the session and felt awful.How would you guys suggest I fuel my long training early morning sessions, and more importantly, how to eat for comp day.Thanks.

TCBParticipantFor a long training session I would just use an intraworkout shake.For an actual all-day event, like a strongman comp, or a triathlon or something, I'd do Kiefer's "endurance protocol" .. Which I think is basically ULC for a few days, then a day and a half before your event start carb loading.

Thanks for the reply.Would that be a sustainer formula for intra workout?As for the endurance protocol, I've not seen that mentioned before. Do you have any links to that please?

Is that a real suggestion or a joke?

It's a real suggestion. Kiefer has used it in the past and may still use it to this day for powerlifting clients.In theory, the fatty peanut butter will slow down the digestion of the sugary jam and starchy bread, whilst the protein in the peanut butter should suffice through long workouts.

For the intra, it depends what type of training it is. At least some BCAA. Possibly BCAA + glucose source.As for the endurance protocol, he's mentioned it several times on many of the recent podcasts.

The_BearParticipantThanks buddy.I think I will experiment with this and see what I can do. I've got no issues in a good carb load before a contest, I'm just unsure for the day of the event really.Perhaps a solid breakfast of protein and fats, then graze throughout the day on shakes and snacks.
