i'd advise against post workout simple sugars 6-8 weeks prior to a show to the contest date. i simply eliminate anything that may cause lipolysis inhibition. if you need carbs after a workout, what's wrong with a slow release low GI food like sweet potatoes? the last thing you need is a bunch of simple sugars flooding your bloodstream while you're trying to diet away your fat stores. post workout carbs are VERY necessary to a bodybuilder trying to grow the quickest....but at 6 weeks out, you're main concern is trying to shed as much fat as possible, and just maintain muscle mass.
i feel that extra carbs, no matter when you get them, interfere with lipolysis.
take care,
PA
