I disagree.
Your glycogen stores HAVE TO BE EMPTY in order for the anabolic rebound effect to truly work.
No way you can empty them in 3 days.

I love you, Fonz.. I don't even have to put an effort into debating you since you contradict yourself.. YOu do all of the work for me.
(Don't make me dig these threads up)
Back in the day when the guru was around, I was the only one who said you should NOT deplete carbs before DNP.. You said ...
"oh.. NO! YOu HAVE to deplete carbs before DNP otherwise your body will burn all of it's glycogen BEFORE it gets to burning fat!!!"
Well, it's probably news to you that an average 70kg man has fuel reserves of some 1600kcal in glycogen.
So, if you still believe that DNP burns it's glycogen stores before fat, you might want to re-think that.. Pick a side.. You either burn the glycogen before fat OR your glycogen stores will not be depleted after three days on DNP..
Which is it?
Actually, it's neither.. DNP causes in increase in glucagon and decreases insulin. Insulin tells your cells to store glycogen. In it's absence, your body won't store glycogen, but will rely more on fat for fuel..
However, slowly, your glycogen stores will be depleted.. And, in actuality, if one were to do a 1000-600-400 cycle (as I have found), your MUSCLE glycogen stores are done after day three.
This alone will result in some degree of supercompensation.. However,
resistance training up-regulates insulin receptors locally in muscle cells. What this means is that doing a 'depletion' workout
primes muscles to up-take of glucose and storage of glycogen. Actually, calling it a "depletion" workout is misleading.. Your stores are already depleted... This is really a glucose-uptake PRIME workout.
Does this make sence at all?
