Carbup question on ckd diets

[gwl9dta4]

Well i cabed up this weekend for 2 days. Now on tuesday i went to the gym and weighed in about 9 lbs heavier then on friday. WTF? Does this seem normal? I know i will loose it by the end of the week, but still. How much weight do you guys gain during the carbup/refeed. My bf% seems to be still slowly improving.

Remember that it takes 4 grams of water to store one gram of glycogen (that's a net gain of 5 grams of "weight" for one measly carb), and a gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. I don't know what you ate, or what your stats are, but that kind of gain is pretty normal. Don't sweat it - just enjoy the pumps while they last.

Ahhhh, well then that's better. Very good info, thanks. BTW, i am 6'2 and 255 in the beginning of my comeback diet and training plat. This last friday i weighed in at 221, then this tuesday ~231.
