Lee yes i know what you mean about the bloat it really messes my head up but with vitargo making up 50% to 75% of my carb intake i don't think i will have that problem this year... ______________________ www.omegalabs.co.uk http://www.extremenutrition.co.uk/at...ough/index.php |

Thanks for the info Paul. Do you find that the red skinned potatoes have a higher GI index than the white skinned ones. I have ordered from My Protein this morning so hopefully I will recieve the waxy maize starch tomorrow to prep the flapjacks for Thursday. If not I will use them next week for the Scottish. Out of interest Paul how many grams of carbs are you ingesting Wed, Thurs and Fri. All the best John | |

I am carb loading on thur/fri/sat mate as my show is on sunday as for amounts i am unsure yet as i am speaking to my coach tomorrow morning to discuss it but it might be 1000g on thursday then decrease each day from there... ______________________ www.omegalabs.co.uk http://www.extremenutrition.co.uk/at...ough/index.php |

| Super Moderator Super Moderator Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 986 Rep Power: ![]() | well today was by far the hardest day of depletion i could hardly stand after training...dropped my carbs to 75g for that last push...i am very depleted but in the gym i am extremly vascular and i do get a pump for a few minutes this is what has harmed me in the past as i do look good then i start to think that carbing up would only mess it up.... i can tell i am flat as i have lose skin which is a big sign... So spoke to Harold today to dicuss the plan for the next 2 days it looks like this... Carbs: Thurs - 1000g Fri - 750g Water: Thurs - 8.5L Fri - 9L VitC: Thurs - 10g Fri - 12g so tomorrow is all set my flapjacks are setting which make up half of the carbs the problem is i have run out of vitargo for fri and sat so i have to order some tomorrow and hope they can get it to me for friday morning.... ______________________ www.omegalabs.co.uk http://www.extremenutrition.co.uk/at...ough/index.php |

I was supposed to get mine yesterday (waxy maize starch) but parcelforce fek'd it up and did't come good with the 24 hour delivery. So it is dry oats fo me today I'm afraid. I am really looking forward to the shows now and meeting some of the guys on here. Best of luck Paul. J |
