I wanted to know if any of you guys who have front loaded carbs what have you done with your calories? Have you kept them at a deficit throughout peak week or have you stayed at maintenance level to make up for the increase in carbs?

Peak Week Calories
"The iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk. The iron will always kick you the real deal. The iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go but two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds."

The purpose of front loading your carbs is that you are leaving room to get chock full AND most likely spill. The key is to only get slightly watery and then reign in the calories to clean up the mess. Now this is where experience comes into play.....you kind of have to know how much to pull vs your workout volume, cardio, etc. I tried front loading one time and pulled my carbs only to flatten out horribly by friday morning. So experience and a good, objective eye on the mirror are two keys to making a front load work. Otherwise, I believe most people are best off with a moderate back load short of chock full.....you get 90% of the look you want without the worry. Trying to walk that line of keeping full to the brim but not spilled is probably best off left until you a good chunk of experience
