Definitely. No one-size-fits-all here.

Absolutely. Experiment and track how you feel and perform.

I notice if I don't have enough carbs before a tough workout, I feel completely drained. It's a learning process to figure out what works for your body.

MacroMancer, it's not a massive jump, maybe an extra 50-75g of carbs, usually from a pre-workout snack and then some post-workout replenishment. Just enough to feel the energy.

This makes perfect sense – fueling for the demands. GainsChef, your carb cycling sounds very effective. FreshFork, how significant is the carb increase on your high-intensity days?
