So i was thinking about depleting carbs for a full week starting monday to jump start myself since i was out of commission for a few days.
My trainer suggested doing a deplete and load diet (4 days all protien, 3 days all carbs) for 18 weeks. Any feed back would be great! Also considering throwing in some ephedrine, minimal doses thru out the day. Cycle it like clem, 4 weeks on 4 weeks off!
What cha think?

IMO, your body will recover in a week withOUT fooling with your carbs. Let it recover, you havent been eating much anyway so I'm sure your body WANTS the carbs for some type of energy.Maffiosa said:
Sounds like your trainer wants you to do some variation of a carb rotation. Did you ask him why? (just to know his thought process, make him EXPLAIN)
I personally would reserve that for when you hit a plateau & need to SHOCK your system. BUT you are paying him not me, and it MAY just work great for you.
I would do it differently though b/c I am not very strong, mentally or physically, past 2-3 days with ZERO carbs... carbs = glucose = brain food & without it I am not functioning, but everyone is different.
You could try it & eventually try to suggest using a
Low Day (0-50g)
Med Day (100g)
High/refeed Day (150-200g) then repeat, getting two refeeds in a week, my 2nd refeed day would be my cheat meal.
This is one variation I like & will try probably after the holidays.

Not the training per se but the Carb Rotation. I linked you to this so you can see why I placed my higher carb days on or before training days I NEED them the most.
If you have the flu do not begin what your trainer suggests unless you are 110% better.

Thanks for the carb ration thing... it makes me look a lot harder when I do that... I usually do low (5% or so) carbs for Mon Tuesday, then Refeed Wed... do it again for Thurs Fri, then refeed on the week...

My trainer= Boxing/MMA coach, he's not a certified trainer or anything as far as lifting or dieting. In fact if he had it his way i wouldnt be touching weights. But basically what he would like to see me do is take in all protien on lifting days, and all carbs on cardio days/training in the gym. Its just a cutting method he uses with his fighters. He had me do it years ago when i first started training but i was in much better shape and lifting less.
I like your idea on the cycling tho! Its hard to lift on no carbs, thats why i thought the epherdra might help. Well i got to monday to figure it out, should be 110% by then! Thanks for the good advice as usual

awesome man!
That's great right there... sometimes listening to your body is the best thing you can do... eat big and replenish
