I have a deload coming up next week, but I've never done a deload. I'm wondering if I should backload at all or just treat it like a carb night week and keep everything ULC. Can any if out protocol pros make any recommendations?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You can recover/drop fatigue better on a deload if you have carbs, however you probably don't need nearly as many carbs as you otherwise would
You can use your morning fullness (mirror metric) combined with how your workouts are going (gassing-out?) along with some logic about how quick you'll go through carbs (intensity and/or heavy-lifts uses-up glycogen). Know what I mean?

Yeah, I pretty much agree. Wouldn't necessarily drop carbs. Depending on how overreached you are. Imo, do full backloads until you feel completely recovered and ready to smash the gym again. Then drop carbs for the rest of the days, or go back in the gym.
