in regards to carb-ups i virtually tried everything:

i did it dipasquale-style - in fact eat whatever u like for about 36 hours, but i put on fat with that approach, too.

i tried dan duchaines carb up routine but found out that
- 48 - 54 hours is WAY too long
- eating strange food every 2 hours is no fun at all
- breaking sleep for eating does not do me any good

i tried lyle mc donalds and found out that it is nearly perfect for me:

sat. morning: 50g of fruit-carbs (strawberry with light-cream or so)

2 hours later: normal hit-workout of 2 bodyparts, e.g. legs, calves
(appr. 45 min.). after that light depletion workout for the other untrained bodyparts (10-15 sets, not even near to failure).

directly after workout: glucose - protein - shake

rest of the day: whatever carbs i like, but about 90 grams of fat maximum. no restriction on carbs. additionally 3g of ala.


thats what i do when dieting in summer.

in winter i go "eat as much junk as you can in 18-24 hours" which is obviously more fun lol...

here another pic of me (taken last year - this years will be better i hope...)
