View MoreOK, it's just that the question comes up often on here, usually from people just joining the show which are used to something different or simply find a lot more information on the benefits of slow reps, so, as mentioned before, it would be great if you could add some links to these studies to the forum or somewhere else on this site. Maybe people that just want to start working out or lose fat don't care, but I know that some of us that have specific goals in mind are looking for the most efficient way to reach them. We could blindly follow one of the hundreds of programmes that are out there, to only find out 6 months later whether it worked or not, but I don't like to waste my time. So I'm not going after the members of this site, I'm looking for data because building muscle takes time and doing a 1 month trial won't provide me with the answer, members stats could. And I think fast, explosive reps are better for sports preparation anyway. It's only when building a foundation that people used to do things differently. I'll be the first to promote the Chiseled way once I'm on the programme, proving it works.
Blake, you got it wrong. I wasn't making a flippant comment. I genuinely wanted to know, because I know some people on here are not doing fast reps when doing Chiseled and as I've mentioned before there is not a lot of evidence proving that it works.

I genuinely wanted to know, because I know some people on here are not doing fast reps when doing Chiseled and as I've mentioned before there is not a lot of evidence proving that it works. Feeling good is subjective, but real, measured muscle gains is better proof, even if not part of a scientific experiment.
Studies have shown no difference between different types of carbohydrates eaten post exercise and the rate of glycogen replenishment as long as sufficient quantities of carbohydrate are consumed (Burke 1997).
Some studies have also shown that there is no need to even eat carbohydrates straight after the workout to replenish the stores and others have shown that for people in their early 20s, adding carbs to that meal has no effect on protein synthesis.
