-Looks good to me.

I don’t know when to start carbing and how many carbs to eat. Lyle mentions somewhere to drink less water than during a normal carb up, as you don’t want to retain water.
I do want my muscles to be pumped but don’t know how to get there without getting water retentive and risking fat spillover.

-I believe you 'peak' 2-3 days after your 'carb-up'. As far as 'fat spillover'... you may want to shorten the 'carb-up' (maybe to 12 hours?). However, I'm not too sure if a shortened 'carb-up' before photo's is a good idea or not; just speculation on my part. You may want to take some sort of 'diuretic' (i.e. 'Taraxatone', dandelion, uva ursi, etc.). Just make sure you bump up potassium intake if you decide to do so. I've also heard- some people have had success using 'glycerol' to drop excess water (hence- more vascularity).
