To carb deplete or not?

[Vascular Freak]

you are not the first person who has said this so i am most likely to go this route, i have kept everyting slow and consistant during diet, so the diet hasnt been too stressful (although i have had my moments!!). You mentioned 200g carbs is this the same or less than you normally take?
would a slight reduction benefit in conjunction with the full body workouts? ( i had planned the full body work outs but not going to failure as you mentioned)

If you were normally eating 200g of carbs I would drop about 75 g's during your "mini deplete" day mainly by subtracting carbs from your meals later in the day. Instead of carbs just eat meat and veggies, mainly asparagus for its diuretic effects. Also, make sure to get in some healthy fats with your no carb meals to increase insulin sensitivity in preperation for the following day when you bump your carbs up a little.

I would take some r-ala and vanadyl sulfate when you begin to rest and eat a few more carbs. It will help shuttle the carbs to your muscles. The day after your depletion training, consume slightly more than ususal, 250 grams from yams and oats. The yams or sweet potatoes are high in potassium and will really fill out the muscle and vascularity as well.

a slight reduction couldnt hurt, but honestly I wouldnt drop it by too much, maybe 50 or so carbs, basically take away the carbs from the last meal you would normally have them. If you have been eating the exact same amounts every day, then even 50 carbs is a big difference
