So it should be possible to store even more glycogen than through regular carb-loading procedures.I’ve tried the depletion-load method once and I ended being well loaded for the event.Though, it is a bit problematic to train to exhaustion just 6 days before a major race followed by low-carb dieting. The theory behind this strategy is that exercising to exhaustion 6 days before your major race combined with a low-carb diet until three days before the race depletes muscle glycogen.When your glycogen stores are completely depleted the theory is that your muscles are hungry after storing glycogen and are able to ‘super-compensate’ the last three days before the race. The best known method is the carbohydrate-depletion/carbohydrate loading method. This is important to know and may influence your decision on whether you should carb load or not.Many experiments have been performed to find the perfect method for carb loading before races. 2kg when you are fully loaded with carbohydrates.

This is both mentally and physically a great way to prepare their bodies for competition.In the mirror of carb-loading this little trick also increases the glucose uptake at a minimal cost of muscle glycogen.Thus, you might end up maximizing your glycogen storage and being physically and mentally prepared for action. Finally there is a sweet little ninja trick that may boost your carb-loading:When I have athletes at cycling races I always ask them to do a short, high-intensity interval the day before. We are all different and you might need to make individual customization to get a perfect diet plan.
