How to Increase Glycogen Stores in Muscles without Gaining Weight
What’s the key to training hard day after day AND maintaining good body composition? Read on to discover how to increase glycogen stores in muscles and the liver without adding on extra pounds. Glycogen is a necessary and ubiquitous fuel source in the body. It is primarily stored in skeletal muscle cells and liver cells. But it is also stored in small amounts in brain cells, heart cells, smooth muscle cells, kidney cells, red and white blood cells, and even adipose (fat) cells.

For the body to sustain the capacity for continued training and competition, it is essential that glycogen stores in the muscles and the liver be replenished as rapidly as...
