If my carb nite is on Saturday and I would like to add a mid week backload would Tuesday or Wednesday be better? Im going to just give this a try with 1 gram of carbs per my weight for the backload.
either day would be fine. id base it on what you're working that day. say if tues is your leg day id do it then. or whichever muscle group could use the most work!
15er you look very muscular. Have you always been this way or has CN or CBL really given you some significant gains? Do you strictly use CN or do you also add some CBL during the week?

i started cbl/cn about a month ago. i started looking a bit leaner/more muscular prior to starting this. i was doing great but had hit a plateau i guess you could say. my friend told me about this and when i heard i could eat junk food at times, i trusted her and hopped right on board. i wasnt allowing myself to enjoy good foods as much as one should. you only live once, right? but anyways, the hardest part was giving up my oatmeal in the morning. other than that, nothing else has changed. my numbers have SIGNIFICANTLY gone up since starting this a month ago so I must say it's workin! typically I backload anywhere from 125-350g carbs. i would like to be a tad bit leaner, in the arms anyways..i don't care much about a 6 pack. but thank you Sherylea

I've been looking forward to photo updates myself.. ;DI have a backload/mini cn planned for tonight myselfSent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
I CB about 3-4x a week. One of them being huuuuge..the others being lighter.
Wednesday is what cory does but do whih ever day works best with your schedule
Yep. When I am on "Mod-CNS", I run a midweek "back-load"... 2-4 hours, no carbs in PWO shake.I ensure to increase lifting to 5+ days, to sufficiently use that excess glyco.I run this program as a shock, when I feel I need a jolt from regular CNS. I also run this if I need to increase my training volume, for one reason or another (as an athlete).Cory
intra shoulder workout yesterday. looks ok from the front but need to work on the cut between the shoulder and bi/tri.
Cory would you suggest just adding 1 CBL for this week..do my CN on Saturday and then continue on without the extra CBL for the rest of the month as a “shock”? Would you also suggest that if I am to do a CBL that I would use the 1 gram carbs per my bodyweight?

Sure. Going from Mod-CNS to regular should be just fine. You could go every other week, or randomize it. Keep the body guessing. Just increase your work volume on the weeks you add a mid-week back-load.Just ensure your back-load is devoid of post-workout carbs (to keep fat-burning at full-speed), and you only go for 2-4 hours (2 meals, approx.). Starting with a high-carb, low-fat meal. Save the non-stop feasting for your CN (which is 6-8 hours).Every now and then our bodies need a nice jolt / shock, to wake them out of complacency (and keep them from getting accustomed). This could also mean going from 7-day CN cycles, to 5 or 6 day, every now and then.For the back-load, go no higher than 2g of carb per lb. of LBM, and ensure you workout that day (before-hand), preferably in the evening. Believe me, unless you're a pig like me... 2g x LBM for carb will be difficult for a lot of people to down in 2-4 hours. LOL! You may need to consume some as a dextrose shake.The point is experiment, log it, and note what works for you and what doesn't. Everyone is built differently.Cory
