Yeah, so these hard as fuck and seem quite fun. Question is–is it enough resistance training to backload afterwards? I know that sprinting is anaerobic, and so theoretically this would bode well, but if anybody has more info or backloads after sprint workouts with good results let me know. -Adam

Indeed, the answer is no.Unless you are starting from zero, completely untrained (and thus EVERYTHING is a resistance exercise for you), you just aren't getting the GLUT-4 activation from this activity. You may *feel* fatigued, but that's not an indicator of GLUT-4 activation.
I'm fascinated by the Glut-4 activation. I always try to train as hard as I can and make every rep count, and, at least for the most part, I think I pull it off. But is there a sure way of knowing you've done it? Does time come into play or is it just all about the resistance of the weights on the body etc?

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the GLUT-4 is. You have to experience it for yourself.I'd advise following the Shockwave Protocol for a few weeks, because it was designed to create conditions of maximal growth and maximal receptivity to Carb Back-Loading. Most people find the program "easy" and yet report distinct feelings (e.g. "tingling") after completion.
Thanks for all the responses. I did a bit more research and found the following article that disagrees with what everybody has said: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/par46.htm_________________________________________________________________________________________"Augmented Glycogen Storage PotentialSprint-training directly augments full-body glycogen storage-potential via cellular and enzymatic mechanisms while increasing GLUT4 translocation (and subsequently insulin-stimulated glucose transport) in large systems of both lower and upper-body skeletal muscle."_________________________________________________________________________________________Here are the citations they give to support that specific claim:MacDougall, J. D., G. R. Ward, J. R. Sutton, and D. G. Sale. Muscle glycogen repletion following high-intensity intermittent exercise. J. Appl. Physiol. 42: 129-132, 1977Holmes BF, Kurth-Kraczek EJ, Winder WW. Chronic activation of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase increases GLUT-4, hexokinase, and glycogen in muscle. J. Appl Physiol.. 1999 Nov;87(5):1990-5Naomi, have you or Kiefer researched this question definitively? If not, might be a good question for the podcast =)-Adam
