ALA for carb load and post contest

[cbeaks]

I plan on taking 5-6 grams/day of ALA for my precontest carb load and probably the same amount for at least a week after my first show. I actually have another show a week after my first one. Most competitors gain a lot of weight after a show. I was wondering how many of you guys loaded up on some ala after a show and how much better were your results? My first show is a national qualifier and my second one isn't, so after the first show I will eat pretty much whatever I want and see how my body responds. I usually don't get noticeably fatter for a few weeks after my show and I just want to be bigger and see what happens. - cbeaks
