I was reading up on gluconeogenesis and had a thought.

A great many of the catabolic effects that arise during exercise are due to low glucose levels in the blood. I realize that there are other catabolic factors, but I'm focusing on low glucose levels.

My thought was this: is it a good idea to add sugar (sucrose) to my workout drink to keep blood glucose levels up? This would have the added benefit of creating an insulin spike as well.

Thanks for any info!
 
this is why a meal containing low GI carbs should be consumed about 1-1.5 hours prior to the training session. I have also tried using whey/malto diretly before training. for me I feel the same either way. I would only suggest using carbs during training if you are training for a long duration at a high intensity, like 1.5-2 hours of actual weight training...

here is some good info on the subject....
