Oh yea, just rip the package open, and smash. Easy peasy.
As I recall from my anatomy professor, carbo-loading works, but it also causes water retention (or something), so there was debate about the results.

"Warm-up set" sounds like weight lifting, so that would be irrelevant.

I always thought that carbs were loaded the night before, not immediately preceding, like in "The Office"'s "Fun Run."
