On a performance point of view, i have far more strength/energy/focus with some LG carbs Preworkout.But this is maybe due to the intensity of my training. Things would probably be different with a regular bodybuilding typa training.Also, i eat my LG carbs meal at noon, and train about 4 to 5 hours later, at 6pm for 45min, with no food in between. So i have plenty of time to digest before work out.
I don't really consider that to be pre-workout carbs. Usually when me are referring to pre- and post- workout, we usually mean an hour before or after. I also said you need to consider the context of the whole diet.
