Carb Cycling 2

[ruskabank]

I currently lift on a 3-day split, M W F.

I want to be most "anabolic" on Mondays and Fridays.

How would this be for a carb cycle.

M-High 300-400 carbs
T-No 50-100 carbs
W-Low 175-225 carbs
Th-Low 175-225 carbs
Fri-High 300-400 carbs
Sat-No 50-100 carbs
Sun-Low 175-225 carbs


And another question for you Derek:

Is your carb cycle basically, High, Medium, Low, High, Medium, Low, No? Do you think one no carb day is enough or should I try to keep them more balanced? Thanks for your time.

Anybody else's input is greatly appreciated as well.

What is your weight? What is your BF%? Are you bulking/cutting?

If you are bulking, I would do (starting with Monday)
High
Low
High
Low
High
Low
No

I am 6'2", 195 lbs, and 10-11% bodyfat. I am currently doing a short cutting phase. I think that I will follow the scheme you laid out Derek even though I am cutting. It was what I had considered before but I was trying to follow Twin Peak's article precisely. I don't have a lot of fat to lose anyways so I think that this setup will work well for me. I play a ton of golf (very catabolic), and don't want to sacrifice any more lean mass than I have to.

High days- 300-375 carbs
Low days- 175-225 carbs
No days- 25-100 carbs (carbs coming from fibrous veggies)
