hi, does it matter how long or short a time it is between the pwo shake and starting the backload?...also further to this, is it optimal to backload my carbs in as short a time as possible? for example all in one big meal.many thanks, Jon
Assuming you train in the late evening/night, it doesn't matter. 4-6 hours is probably the longest you'd want to take a backload, but making it one big meal doesn't really make a difference aside from personal preference.
Kiefer recommends starting the backload an hour after your workout ends. I personally wait about an hour and a half because my appetite doesn't kick in until then.

+1. I've tried various backloading "windows" and IMO, if you train in the afternoon, it doesn't matter that much.
