    Hey guys,Im gonna have to end up training waaay later than usual, at 930 tonight. Scanning through the book for the appropriate protocol and wanted to double check. I should have a shake with carbs PRE training, my usual post training shake, and a cbl meal 30 min later?Thanks!

    Ah no just wait till after lifting and just get a good amount of carbs in as you can without making yourself sick. I wouldn't think having carbs before or while training will end up a good idea.

    At the very least, hope you did an intra workout shake with carbs. Carbs pre training (a small amount) probably would've been a good idea as well.

    I have to disagree with Big Tex  😮 I think its probably the best Idea to get a pre-workout meal in you if your working out that late. Its important to prime your muscles for growth, and since your going to have a hard time getting in the carbs I would advise you to start before! Not huge, and nothing thats really going to spike your insulin crazy. Also, add the Intra workout shake!

    The official CBL protocol for night time training is pre-workout carbs if you are on Density Bulk, no pre-workout carbs if you are on strength accumulation.Feel free to experiment, but accept responsibility if something goes wrong.

    When I have to train later and go to bed at a decent time there is no way I have the appetite PWO to get the required amount of carbs in.  In this situation Kiefer has recommended PB and J sandwiches and they seem to work well.  I can tell you I feel a little less “balls to the wall” with having carbs Pre-WO but getting in the required amount of carbs for the backload trumps everything else at that point (in my opinion anyways).
