Just came off an 8 week cut that brought me down to 6.5% body fat. Problem is that my muscles are all glycogen starved and flat because I am not managing my carb intake very well.
Anyways, it was recommended to me that I cycle my carbs and eat complex carbs. I couldn't really find any articles online that seemed helpful on carb cycling though. All of them would have me eating at starvation levels. On top of that, they all suggest to eat high carbs on work-out days, which makes sense except that I workout 6 days a week.
So question is, what percentage of caloric intake should come from carbs on low/high carb days? How often should you alternate between low/high carbs? And more importantly, should you carb cycle if you workout 6 days a week?
BTW: My goal right now is to lean bulk and not to cut
