manipulation of glycogen stores is actually quite important for bodybuilding (and thus - gpp for a lot of athletes!)

its the whole premise behind carb cycling & timing. leangains is a popular interpretation.

There is nothing like Lance Armstrong using his glycogen storage to sprint up hills like he did. I will always respect him for pushing for pushing the human body to the absolute max.

If you're sprinting up a hill that's anaerobic so that's ATP not glycogen.

That is very untrue in Armstrongs case, his performances were pure glycogen, fueled by the oxygen flow that was given to him by EPO.
