Normally i would say yes but the top priority for the week is depleting your muscle glycogen. If you do in fact feel too bad to lift weights this week then i wouldn't do a carbup this weekend. If your muscle glycogen stores are full then those carbs might go to the places we don't want them to go.

hmm. fridays depletion work out was intersting. i felt like i worked my balls off, but i wasnt crawling from the gym or sore the next day or anything...heres what we did:

seated military press
dumbell flys on the incline bench
preacher curls
tricep pulldowns
pec deck
lat pulldowns
calf raises
quad machine
hammy machine
adductor machine
hanging leg lifts
kettleball thingys (on scotts first set of these he puked all over he he)

all of these, 3x10-12, as heavy as i could stand.

scott said he ate some carbs right before his workout, i guess he read somewhere that would give him a little push for the lift, but he was having way more trouble than i was, he was a zombie when we left there, and i felt like a rock star! hmm. i dont know, i guess i just sort of felt like i didnt work hard enough or something.

the carb up went ok i guess, i tried to keep the fat as low as possible, and this time i tried to eat some carbs every 2 hours or so...i think i did ok, except for some damn cocktails. i know weve touched on this subject before in this thread, but ill ask again...how detrimental is alcohol during a carb up? i mean, i know its not a good idea ever when trying to lose fat, but....?

anyway. sunday morning i went for a 30-minute brisk walk/jog, ate very little all day sunday (except for the aforementioned cocktails, grrrr, we went to a barbeque) so i feel ok today. horribly sunburned and possibly a bit dehydrated. i forgot my effing ketostix too, so wont be able to test for ketosis this afternoon like i wanted to. o well.

sooooooooo, upper body work out today, and i think ill throw some extra cardio in as well, as my punishment for being naughty.

hows everyone else doin?

Hey, ironwings posted some specifics about alcohol in a few posts back but i just thought of something, don't most cocktails have sugar? So it would be really bad on a no carb day.

haha, good call, i sort of use that term loosely for any type of adult beverage...i should have specified. it was white wine, which is very low carb, and that was on my carb up day...then on sunday (no carb day) i had a bit of white wine and some moonshine...which is like a billion proof, and i think i read somewhere that if a given alcohol is over 80 proof, it has no carbs?

the truth is, i know better, booze on any diet plan is dumb. i guess i just wanted to hear i didnt ruin everything

There wasn't any fruit in that moonshine was it? lol, that brings back some OLD memories. We would have peaches at the bottom that we would eat after finishing the bottle. Holy shit.

indeed, i did eat 2 strawberries from the bottom of the jar, and i only had sips of the other kinds. i dont think i had that much...do they make that with sugar? i sure hope not. i mean 2 measly strawberries is only like 2 carbs, but....?

ya, that stuff is hard core. i felt like i was drinking strawberry flavored fingernail polish remover. woah!

There is a ton of sugar in it from what i recall but i have no idea if it's chemical structure remains the same. I want to say that it's entirely corn and sugar.

This recipe calls for 5 pounds of sugar to 3 gallons of water:

holy lord. hmm. well, thats what i was afraid of. but i just googled some stuff, and it mostly said moonshine has no carbs. i dont know. not i deal for the first day after carb up, although id be shocked if i went over 20 carbs for the whole day. grrr.

k, just entered what i had to eat yesterday, and including those effing strawberries, im at around 12 carbs. so i had a bit of room if moonshine does indeed have carbs.
