Carb Up...any particular day?

[JG1]

Going to do my carb up day either Sarturday or Sunday (I train M,W,F). Saturday is a complete rest day, and Sunday I do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Would doing the carb up day on Sunday after the cardio be any better then doing it on Saturday? Or does it not make any difference? I was thinking maybe if I did it Sunday my glycogen levels would already be depleted from the cardio maybe alowing for a better carb up?

Well, the longer you are in Ketosis, the BETTER, so my guess is Sunday. But, you have so many factors not listed I can't surely comment.

thanks for the reply.

Let me ask another question. I'm thinking of changing up my cardio a little. Since I train 3 days a week, I do low intensity cardio for 30 minutes postwrokout. On my off days, I do 1 hour of cardio on a treadmill first thing in the morning at a speed of 4.0mph and a 3 degree incline. What I was thinking of doing was instead of doing an hour of the lower intensity cardio, do 30 minutes instead and keep the speed the same but put the incline on 12 degree's.

Think this is a good idea?

I'd stick to your current and not change, the incline doesn't mean higher-intensity, all it does is increase the workload. Probably burn more muscle.

Gotcha', and thanks again for all your advice. I'll stick with the hour of cardio then like I've been doing. Only thing I'm going to change is to add 100mg r-ALA into my pre-cardio stack which is basically a rounded tsp of L-glutamine, and 5ml of liquid clenbutrx.

Just make sure the Glutamine doesn't kick you out of Ketosis, even w/ the r-ALA present.

Really?

Think I should drop then glutamine then? I never even thought about that. I think I'm taking in about 5-7g of glutamine pre-cardio, I could use a keto stick right before the cardio and see.

Keto sticks are not accurate, I would use a Ketone meter to measure the blood ketone levels for pre-and-post L-glutamine ingestion. For some, it kicks them out of ketosis, those are the same people that can't handle diet soday in Ketosis.
