I understand the importance of say, 'Sweet Potato'. Its light and it burns quick. A great carb, for the Pro, when dieting down. But if your body is not as developed then you should always be aiming to grow and as we know, that will require Carbs and a fucking truck load too.
In this day and age, when it comes to choice of carbohydrates, I believe a Weighlifter is too spoult for choice.
Im an 80's child and growing up in this game, all you ever saw a brother eating was PASTA.
Good old Pasta. Not special light brown magical Pasta. Just good old white Pasta and bowls of that shit too, lumps full, you dropped a lump of that shit on the ground, and you dame sure heard the fucking ground shake. Lol
They where searching for the PASTA PUMP...
You know that well timed pump you can only get from Pasta. Probably due to its denseness i guess. That long steay flow of energy, don't get me wrong, it took long to arrive the Pasta pump, but when it did, well that shit hit you like truck, you know like a fucking tone bricks.
The type of fuel you get from Pasta, when timed right, you can fule a truck, for days. Hence why alot of the old school weightlifters, I think trained for longer. Like Arnolds day's when they trained for like say, 5 hrs and still had the energy after to run 2 miles along the beach, just strengthen their calves.
People now adays are scared of Pasta because they believe it just makes them fat. There so wrong! Well, it probably doses make them fat, but thats because their not eating it right. You know as in, eating it at the right time. Now where talking 'Carb manipulation' I guess. They don't understand about 'Cabo loading' and when best to eat Pasta. There's a certain time, a point, which when timed right,Pasta will yeld the greatest of pumps. Hence the old terminology, 'The Pasta Pump'. This was something like Jay cutter,realised when bringing his body up in the 90's.
When it comes to recieving energy and strength, Pasta, is even more effective than say, any Steriod or Pre workout.
You just gotta know who and when to eat the shit.
