TWO Depletion Workouts On A CKD..

[MonStar1023]

I was curious what you all though about this... this is my basic outline for my CKD..

Sun-Wednesday, basic Atkin's days... (following Mr.X's guidlines).. Thursday is a fat-fast, (>1000 calories), and I am continuin the fat fast until after my 2ND depletion workout Friday, when Ill start my carb-up.

On Friday I am going to do 2 circuit style, machine depletion workouts. One around 5 AM, and the other around 10 hours later. Theyre going to be VERY similar workouts, hitting every bodypart, 15-25 reps, not coming close to failure, around 1 machine exercise per bodypart. I am doing this to FULLY deplete muscle glycogen before starting my carb-up.

What is your all's opinion of this?


Mr.X suggests doing a depletion workout the afternoon before the carb-up, and then the morning before you actually begin the carb-up. This is a similar approach just a little variation.

I don't think you'll be too strong if you do such a hard workout in 1 day because of lack of carbs-HOWEVER, since duchaine pretty much said to do what you will be doing, you should try it once and see how it goes
