CBL SA – back load on 2nd off day?

[agentmads]

hey guysi'm on CBL SA and wondering if a off day back load would be appropriate? so, i'm training 4 times per week and doing morning hiit session on two of my off days. this leaves one complete off day (no training or hiit).schedule:mon: resistance trainingtue: resistance trainingwed: off day (morning hiit)thu: resistance trainingfri: resistance trainingsat: off day (morning hiit)sun: complete off dayif i'm feeling tired (strength-wise) and flat on sunday mornings, would you guys recommend a back load?note, i'm on SA..thanks!

I would try it since you're coming along the two days off, especially with HIIT being in there. What is the goal?

[agentmads]

my goal is as with SA, lower bf% and hopefully a bit of muscle gain…i'm just wondering... back-loading after resistance training seems like a good idea because of the translocation of tglut (muscles absorb a lot of sugar), while back-loading without resistance training seems like a way to put on fat (and muscle, of course)??but, back-loading without the effects of tglut translocation is essentially what am trainers do, right?

and, would you recommend a smaller back-load on an off day like this?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would do a nice dinner and be done with it. Like rice with meat, or potatoes with meat. Those are just examples.

i what would do is have a bigger backload on that last training session before your 2 day break

[agentmads]

both, great advise! thanks! i'll play around with it (you know, like Legos….)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

is it necessary to do a small backload on back to back off days with primarily fat loss in mind?

[Richard Schmitt]

Not necessarily but you're wanting to have something in the tank you fuel performance.

the fewer backloads the more fat you will burn (thats why carb night is so effective for fat burning), but this is something that everyone has to experiment with….whats your current bf% and how many days do you train?

i'm 10-12 % bf, weigh around 170 lbs and is 6 feet tall…  training 4x week 🙂 i've tried carb nite for a short while, but i found myself pretty energy deprived after 3-4 days after carb nites.. my workout's intensity went down a lot... it felt like i was stressing my body too much and that i didn't recover well.. this is why i went for cbl sa.. my goal is not rapid fat loss... just steady fat loss and hopefully gaining a bit of muscle along the way 🙂

i'm an inch shorter than you and almost 10lbs heavier and i'm pretty damn small(same bf% also).. imho no reason you shouldn't be backloading after every single training session and possibly sunday night as well

okay.. how many grams of carbs do you approx eat on your backloads, SanosukeX?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[agentmads]

not because I'm gonna try to hit your exact number, but people on these forums talk about backloading with 200g, but also 600g… and I, know, it depends… 🙂Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I train 6 days a week and backload after each but don't have a whole lot in terms of carbs.. i don't track but if i had to guess probably around 150g each night
