Last week I had the night shift all week, same as this week. According to the ebook, I should've moved my high intensity workout forward one day, then carb loaded throughout the night before the power workout. The shift is obviously because I cannot do the high intensity in the pm due to the night shift. Twenty-four hours won't be too bad for me to get in my 1800 grams of carbs. It's nothing for me to eat bagals and munch on cereal in-between each meal.

So, this week looks like this:

Day 1- Low Carb/Depletion
Day 2- Low Carb/Depletion
Day 3- Low Carb/Cardio
Day 4- Low Carb/Cardio (Instead of high intensity pm)
Day 5- High Intensity/Carb-Load (AM workout, then carb load through night)
Day 6- Power Workout/High Carb
Day 7- Maintenence/Rest

Basically, I don't want a long extended carb-load like I did last week. I want to do the power workout when I'm the most anabolic. Lyle says that I'll still get a great growth response with only a 24 hour window carb-load. The high intensity the day before the power workout won't be bad at all since it's only around 2-4 sets per bodypart. The carbs will also help me recover before the power.

For the 24 hours of carb loading, this is the plan. After the high intensity workout in the am, I got 2 carb force RTD's ready. After that I'm planning on 2-4 scoops (broken doses) of creatine hsc, which has a lot of dextrose. Halfway through the night, I'm going to make the switch from dextrose/sugary foods (like sweet potatoes, kids cereal) to starchy foods like oatmeal, pancakes, and bagals. This is exactly what is recommended. Sounds like a lot, but it's really not at all that bad.
