Carbs are the preferred source of energy. Building muscle is not energy efficient for the body. It takes energy to build muscle and extra muscle requires more energy to keep going. As a survival mechanism the body is less likely to build muscle when carbs are very restricted.

What Bazza says makes sense, the body is very efficient at producing energy for the least cost and having big muscles is not metabollically efficient at all.
Recently I've been taking an intra workout with BCAAs and prefer it. It encourages you to take regular drinks between sets and I feel a bit more alert and motivated during the workout.
What are in carbs that makes them 'build muscle'? Amino acids are the building blocks of muscle. Carbs can only be used in 3 ways; a fuel source, replace glycogen and to be stored as fat. In that order.
