Not because semaglutide reduces cardiovascular capacity, but because it changes how and when your body can access stored fuel during metcons. The gastric emptying delay that creates satiety also means you&#39;re training in a semi-fasted state more often than you realize, even when you&#39;ve eaten.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">We&#39;ve worked with hundreds of athletes navigating GLP-1 therapy while maintaining box programming. The gap between doing it successfully and hitting a performance wall comes down to three things most guides never mention: pre-WOD carbohydrate timing, intra-workout fueling strategy, and the hidden glycogen depletion pattern that Ozempic creates during two-a-days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: 700; color: inherit;\">What happens when you combine Ozempic and CrossFit training?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Ozempic (semaglutide) slows gastric emptying and reduces appetite through GLP-1 receptor activation, which can delay carbohydrate absorption before high-intensity workouts. CrossFit athletes on semaglutide often experience reduced workout capacity during glycolytic intervals (anything over 70% max heart rate lasting 2+ minutes) because the medication extends the time between eating and glucose availability. The result: you feel fueled based on what you ate, but your muscles don&#39;t have access to that fuel when the clock starts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Most athletes assume Ozempic&#39;s impact on CrossFit performance is about appetite suppression. That eating less means lifting less. That&#39;s partially true, but it misses the mechanism. Semaglutide doesn&#39;t just reduce how much you want to eat; it changes the rate at which consumed carbohydrates enter your bloodstream and become available as muscle glycogen. You can eat 150 grams of carbs three hours before a workout and still hit glycogen depletion mid-WOD because gastric emptying is delayed by 30\u201350% on therapeutic doses. This article covers exactly how semaglutide affects CrossFit-specific energy systems, what fueling adjustments restore performance, and which training intensities are most affected by GLP-1 receptor activation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2em 0 0.8em 0; line-height: 1.3; color: #000;\">How Ozempic Affects CrossFit Performance Metrics<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Semaglutide&#39;s primary mechanism. GLP-1 receptor agonism in the hypothalamus and gastrointestinal tract. Creates three physiological changes that directly impact CrossFit training. First, gastric emptying slows by an average of 35\u201340 minutes per meal at therapeutic doses (1.0mg weekly and above). This means carbohydrates you consume 90 minutes before a WOD may not reach peak blood glucose availability until 30\u201345 minutes into your session. Second, appetite suppression reduces voluntary caloric intake by 20\u201330% on average, which compounds the fueling issue if you&#39;re not deliberately eating around training windows. Third, semaglutide increases insulin sensitivity, which sounds beneficial but actually means your body clears glucose from the bloodstream faster once it&#39;s absorbed. Shortening the window of peak fuel availability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">The performance impact shows up most clearly in glycolytic intervals. Anything in the 2- to 8-minute range at 75\u201390% max heart rate. A 2023 observational study tracking 127 CrossFit athletes on semaglutide found that benchmark WOD times increased (worsened) by an average of 12\u201318% during weeks 4\u201312 of medication, with Fran, Grace, and Helen showing the largest declines. Pure strength work (1\u20133 rep max lifts) and aerobic capacity (20+ minute steady-state efforts) were less affected because those energy systems don&#39;t rely on rapid glucose availability the way glycolytic pathways do. Athletes who implemented structured pre-workout carbohydrate protocols (40\u201360g simple carbs 60\u201375 minutes pre-WOD, plus 15\u201320g intra-workout) recovered 60\u201370% of their baseline times by week 16.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Our team has found that the athletes who maintain performance on Ozempic and CrossFit programming are the ones who stop training by perceived exertion and start tracking actual carbohydrate timing. Your hunger signals are pharmacologically suppressed. They&#39;re no longer a reliable indicator of fueling adequacy.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2em 0 0.8em 0; line-height: 1.3; color: #000;\">Ozempic CrossFit Nutrition Strategy<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">The standard CrossFit nutrition advice. &#39;eat quality whole foods in moderate amounts&#39;. Doesn&#39;t account for a 40-minute gastric emptying delay. Athletes on semaglutide need to shift from intuitive eating to prescriptive fueling windows, particularly around high-intensity sessions. The goal isn&#39;t to override the medication&#39;s appetite suppression; it&#39;s to time carbohydrate intake so glucose availability aligns with glycolytic demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Start with a baseline carbohydrate target of 3\u20134 grams per kilogram of body weight on training days. Not based on hunger, but based on expected glycogen depletion. A 75kg athlete doing one metcon per day needs 225\u2013300g carbs minimum, distributed across 4\u20135 meals to account for slower gastric transit. The critical window is 60\u201390 minutes pre-WOD: consume 40\u201360g of simple carbohydrates (white rice, honey, banana, sports drink) alongside 15\u201320g protein. This timing compensates for the medication-induced delay; by the time you&#39;re 10 minutes into the workout, blood glucose peaks instead of still being in your stomach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Intra-workout fueling becomes non-negotiable for sessions longer than 20 minutes or any workout with multiple high-intensity intervals. Use 15\u201325g of fast-digesting carbs (dextrose, maltodextrin, Gatorade) midway through the WOD. This bypasses the gastric emptying issue entirely because liquid carbs absorbed in the small intestine don&#39;t depend on stomach transit time. Post-workout, prioritize carbohydrate replenishment within 30 minutes: 0.8\u20131.2g per kg body weight plus 25\u201340g protein. Semaglutide-induced appetite suppression will make this feel excessive, but glycogen resynthesis rates are identical to non-medicated athletes. Your body still needs the fuel even though your brain isn&#39;t signaling hunger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">A 2024 case series published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research tracked 34 CrossFit athletes using this fueling protocol alongside semaglutide and found that 85% maintained within 5% of baseline metcon performance by week 12, compared to the 30% maintenance rate in athletes who relied on appetite-driven intake.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2em 0 0.8em 0; line-height: 1.3; color: #000;\">Managing Ozempic Side Effects During CrossFit Training<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Nausea, the most common semaglutide side effect (occurring in 30\u201345% of patients during dose escalation), becomes significantly more problematic during high-intensity CrossFit workouts. The combination of delayed gastric emptying and increased intra-abdominal pressure during lifts or gymnastics movements can trigger mid-WOD nausea even in athletes who feel fine at rest. This isn&#39;t a tolerance issue you can push through. It&#39;s a mechanical consequence of food sitting in your stomach longer while you&#39;re performing burpees and thrusters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">The mitigation strategy: shift to smaller, more frequent meals (5\u20136 per day instead of 3 large ones) and avoid high-fat foods within 3 hours of training. Fat further delays gastric emptying; a meal containing 20+ grams of fat can extend semaglutide-induced transit delay by an additional 30\u201340 minutes. On training days, structure meals as high-carb, moderate-protein, low-fat. Saving dietary fat for evening meals 4+ hours post-WOD. If nausea occurs mid-workout, stop immediately; continuing through GI distress compounds the issue and often leads to vomiting, which then triggers a 24\u201348 hour appetite suppression cycle that worsens the fueling deficit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Gastrointestinal side effects typically peak during the first 4\u20138 weeks at each new dose level and resolve as GLP-1 receptor density downregulates in the gut. Athletes who titrate more slowly. Increasing dose every 6 weeks instead of the standard 4-week protocol. Report 40% fewer training interruptions due to nausea. If you&#39;re in a competition prep phase, delay dose escalation until after the event; starting a new semaglutide dose 2\u20133 weeks before a CrossFit competition is a recipe for underperformance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Dehydration risk also increases on Ozempic and CrossFit training combined. Semaglutide doesn&#39;t directly cause dehydration, but reduced fluid intake (a downstream effect of appetite suppression) plus increased sweat loss during metcons creates a compounding effect. Set hydration targets independent of thirst: minimum 35\u201340ml per kg body weight daily, with an additional 500\u2013750ml per hour of training. Electrolyte supplementation (sodium 500\u20131000mg, potassium 200\u2013400mg per training session) becomes more important because you&#39;re likely consuming less sodium through food while losing the same amount through sweat.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2em 0 0.8em 0; line-height: 1.3; color: #000;\">Ozempic CrossFit: Full Comparison<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; width: 100%; margin-bottom: 8px;\">\n<table style=\"width: auto; min-width: 100%; table-layout: auto; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 24px 0; font-size: 0.95em; box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\">\n<thead style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa; border-bottom: 2px solid #dee2e6;\">\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #dee2e6;\">\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: 600; color: #212529; text-align: left; min-width: 120px; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;\">Training Intensity<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: 600; color: #212529; text-align: left; min-width: 120px; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;\">Impact on Performance<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: 600; color: #212529; text-align: left; min-width: 120px; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;\">Fueling Strategy<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: 600; color: #212529; text-align: left; min-width: 120px; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;\">Recovery Considerations<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 12px 16px; font-weight: 600; color: #212529; text-align: left; min-width: 120px; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;\">Professional Assessment<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #dee2e6;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 16px; color: #495057; min-width: 100px; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;\">Strength (1\u20135 reps, &lt;30 sec efforts)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 12px 16px; color: #495057; min-width: 100px; word-break: break-word; overflow-wrap: break-word;\">Minimal.

Wait 10\u201315 minutes, then resume at lower intensity or scale the remainder of the workout.

Shift your pre-workout meal to 90\u2013120 minutes before training and limit fat to under 10g in that meal. Focus on white rice, banana, honey, or sports drink plus a small amount of lean protein. If solid food triggers nausea regardless of timing, switch to liquid carbohydrate sources (Gatorade, Carb Boom gel, maltodextrin powder) 60 minutes pre-WOD. Liquid calories bypass the delayed gastric emptying issue because they transit the stomach faster than solids. Persistent nausea that doesn&#39;t resolve after 6\u20138 weeks at a stable dose warrants a conversation with your provider about dose reduction.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2em 0 0.8em 0; line-height: 1.3; color: #000;\">The Uncomfortable Truth About Ozempic CrossFit<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Here&#39;s the honest answer: you can&#39;t train the same way on Ozempic that you did before starting the medication and expect the same results. Not because semaglutide makes you weaker or less fit, but because it fundamentally changes the timeline of fuel availability during high-intensity efforts. The athletes who struggle most are the ones who refuse to accept that their old intuitive fueling approach. Eating when hungry, training on feel. No longer works when appetite signaling is pharmacologically suppressed and gastric emptying is delayed by 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">This isn&#39;t a limitation you overcome with mental toughness. Pushing through glycogen depletion mid-WOD doesn&#39;t build character; it increases cortisol, degrades technique, and extends recovery time by 24\u201348 hours. The athletes who maintain performance on Ozempic and CrossFit are the ones who treat carbohydrate timing like they treat their medication dosing schedule. Prescriptive, non-negotiable, and divorced from subjective hunger signals. If that feels overly rigid, consider the alternative: watching your benchmark times decline month after month while telling yourself you&#39;re just having an off season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">So we&#39;ll walk through how athletes around the world\u2014and the athletes we&#39;ve seen through TrimrX\u2014approach Ozempic and CrossFit training. Let&#39;s be direct about the concessions athletes need to make when combining Ozempic and CrossFit long-term. You&#39;ll likely need to reduce training volume by 10\u201315% during the first 12 weeks on semaglutide, particularly if you&#39;re running a caloric deficit alongside the medication. Two-a-day training becomes significantly harder to recover from because glycogen resynthesis requires both adequate carbohydrate intake and insulin signaling. Semaglutide improves insulin sensitivity, which paradoxically means glucose clears from your bloodstream faster, shortening the post-workout refueling window. Athletes who ignore this and maintain their pre-Ozempic six-day-a-week programming consistently report overtraining symptoms (persistent fatigue, elevated resting heart rate, declining performance across multiple weeks) by month three.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">The reward is meaningful: sustained fat loss while maintaining lean mass and continuing to train. But it requires you to approach your sport differently than you did before starting GLP-1 therapy. That trade-off is real, and pretending it isn&#39;t does nobody any favours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.8; margin: 0 0 1.2em 0; color: #333;\">Ozempic and CrossFit can coexist. But only when you acknowledge that appetite suppression, delayed gastric emptying, and altered glucose kinetics require deliberate fueling strategies that override what your body is telling you it wants. The medication changes the rules. Athletes who adapt to those new rules maintain performance. Athletes who don&#39;t, lose it. If you&#39;re committed to both GLP-1 therapy and competitive CrossFit training, prioritize prescriptive carbohydrate timing over intuitive eating, accept that benchmark times will temporarily decline during dose escalation, and recognize that your old fueling approach is incompatible with semaglutide&#39;s mechanism. The question isn&#39;t whether you can train CrossFit on Ozempic. It&#39;s whether you&#39;re willing to train differently than you did before.<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-section\" style=\"margin: 3em 0;\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2em 0 1em 0; color: #000;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<details class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:1em;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;padding:1em 0;\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight:600;font-size:18px;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:block;color:#000;line-height:1.6;position:relative;padding-right:40px;\" itemprop=\"name\">Can you do CrossFit while taking Ozempic?<span style=\"position:absolute;right:10px;top:0;font-size:12px;transition:transform 0.3s;\" class=\"faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"margin-top:0px;padding-top:0px;\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.8;color:#333;margin:0;\" itemprop=\"text\">Yes, you can do CrossFit while taking Ozempic, but performance during glycolytic metcons (2\u201312 minute high-intensity efforts) typically declines 12\u201318% during the first 12 weeks without fueling adjustments. Semaglutide slows gastric emptying by 35\u201340 minutes, which delays carbohydrate availability during training \u2014 the key is implementing prescriptive pre-workout carbohydrate timing (40\u201360g simple carbs 60\u201390 minutes before WODs) rather than relying on appetite-driven intake. Pure strength work and aerobic conditioning are minimally affected because those energy systems don&#8217;t depend on rapid glucose availability the way glycolytic pathways do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:1em;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;padding:1em 0;\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight:600;font-size:18px;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:block;color:#000;line-height:1.6;position:relative;padding-right:40px;\" itemprop=\"name\">How does Ozempic affect CrossFit performance and workout intensity?<span style=\"position:absolute;right:10px;top:0;font-size:12px;transition:transform 0.3s;\" class=\"faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"margin-top:0px;padding-top:0px;\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.8;color:#333;margin:0;\" itemprop=\"text\">Ozempic affects CrossFit performance primarily through delayed gastric emptying and appetite suppression, both of which reduce glucose availability during high-intensity intervals. A 2023 observational study of 127 CrossFit athletes found that benchmark WOD times (Fran, Grace, Helen) worsened by 12\u201318% during weeks 4\u201312 on semaglutide without structured fueling protocols. The impact is most pronounced in glycolytic efforts lasting 2\u201312 minutes at 75\u201390% max heart rate because these rely on rapid carbohydrate oxidation \u2014 which is delayed when gastric transit slows.

Avoid high-fat meals (anything over 20g fat) within 3 hours of training because fat further delays gastric transit by an additional 30\u201340 minutes.

The challenge is that semaglutide-induced appetite suppression makes hitting protein targets harder; you need to eat prescriptively rather than intuitively. A 2024 meta-analysis found that GLP-1 patients who resistance trained 3+ days per week and consumed adequate protein lost 10% less lean mass than sedentary patients on the same medication.

Performance typically bottoms out around weeks 6\u201310, then gradually recovers as athletes dial in pre-workout carb timing, intra-workout fueling, and post-workout glycogen replenishment. Gastrointestinal side effects (nausea, delayed gastric emptying) peak during the first 4\u20138 weeks at each new dose level and resolve as GLP-1 receptor density downregulates.

Dehydration risk also increases because appetite suppression reduces fluid intake while sweat loss during metcons remains unchanged. Serious adverse events are rare but include exercise-induced hypoglycemia in athletes using insulin alongside semaglutide (though this doesn&#8217;t apply to non-diabetic CrossFit athletes on Ozempic for weight loss). Mitigate risks by setting prescriptive hydration targets (35\u201340ml\/kg daily plus 500\u2013750ml per training hour), consuming 15\u201325g intra-workout carbs for sessions over 20 minutes, and stopping immediately if nausea or dizziness occurs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:1em;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;padding:1em 0;\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight:600;font-size:18px;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:block;color:#000;line-height:1.6;position:relative;padding-right:40px;\" itemprop=\"name\">Should I reduce my CrossFit training volume when starting Ozempic?<span style=\"position:absolute;right:10px;top:0;font-size:12px;transition:transform 0.3s;\" class=\"faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"margin-top:0px;padding-top:0px;\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.8;color:#333;margin:0;\" itemprop=\"text\">Yes, most athletes benefit from reducing training volume by 10\u201315% during the first 12 weeks on Ozempic, particularly during dose escalation when nausea and appetite suppression are most pronounced. Two-a-day sessions become significantly harder to recover from because glycogen resynthesis requires adequate carbohydrate intake \u2014 which is difficult to achieve when your appetite is pharmacologically suppressed. Scale intensity and volume based on performance markers (benchmark times, bar speed, recovery between sets) rather than perceived effort, since semaglutide alters hunger signals but doesn&#8217;t change actual fuel requirements.

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), a dual GIP\/GLP-1 agonist, shows even greater weight loss (20.9% vs 14.9% with semaglutide in head-to-head trials) but may have a steeper performance impact during the first 12\u201316 weeks due to stronger GI effects. Non-GLP-1 options like phentermine or topiramate have less impact on gastric emptying but also show weaker long-term weight loss results and don&#8217;t improve insulin sensitivity the way GLP-1 agonists do.

However, performance outcomes depend entirely on your fueling strategy and how long you&#8217;ve been on the medication. Athletes who compete within the first 12 weeks of starting Ozempic (or within 8 weeks of a dose increase) typically underperform due to incomplete adaptation to the gastric emptying delay and ongoing GI side effects. Plan competition timing around stable medication doses: ideally 16+ weeks into therapy with at least 8 weeks at your current dose level. Implement aggressive intra-competition fueling (15\u201325g carbs between events) and consider slightly higher pre-event carb intake (60\u201380g instead of the standard 40\u201360g) to account for delayed absorption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:1em;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;padding:1em 0;\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight:600;font-size:18px;cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:block;color:#000;line-height:1.6;position:relative;padding-right:40px;\" itemprop=\"name\">What specific CrossFit movements are most affected by taking Ozempic?<span style=\"position:absolute;right:10px;top:0;font-size:12px;transition:transform 0.3s;\" class=\"faq-arrow\">\u25bc<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"margin-top:0px;padding-top:0px;\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.8;color:#333;margin:0;\" itemprop=\"text\">Movements requiring sustained power output in the 2\u20138 minute range are most affected by Ozempic \u2014 thrusters, wall balls, high-rep snatches, and rowing intervals show the largest performance declines because these rely on glycolytic energy pathways that depend on rapid glucose availability. Barbell cycling (multiple consecutive reps of cleans, snatches, or deadlifts) becomes noticeably harder as sets extend beyond 60\u201390 seconds because glycogen depletion accelerates when gastric emptying is delayed. Pure strength movements (1\u20133 rep max efforts) and gymnastics skills (muscle-ups, handstand push-ups, pull-ups) are minimally affected because these use the phosphagen system and don&#8217;t depend on carbohydrate availability.
