Extreme??? It’s actually much “safer” than a regular loading in that you are much less likely to fuck up your physique by overloading and spilling water.
Why load for 2-3 days? Your body can only store approxmately 500g of carbs. Once your muscles are full you cannot “cram” anything more in them and the excess is likely to cause water retention or even be stored as body fat.
With the type of schedule I send you , you are basically eating as much carbs over 7 hours as you would in a 2 days period. Thus you will fill up your glycogen stores either way.
There is also much less chance of spilling over (retaining water).
The only trouble might be filling out your muscles properly (ingesting enough carbs) that’s why, if you feel flat in the morning you should eat some pancakes with syrup at breakfast. If you are full, just eat a regular breakfast.
Everybody loads for 2-3 days? Not so! Many top guys use the same method as I mentioned. Do a web search for “shit loading” and you should find some info and feedback about it.

Yams will not fill out glycogen stores fast enough. They might be fine for a “traditional” loading of 2-3 days since you don’t have time against you. But when you need to fill out in 7 hours you should go with high glycemic carbs (same logic as using high glycemic carbs post-workout).
Thing about it… when did you ever look your best? Chances are that it was the day AFTER you ate everything you desired AFTER your competitions. Many competitors wake up the day after a show and think “damn, if ONLY I had looked this good on stage!”.
Think about it another way. When you use a low carbs diet, how do you look the day after a cheat day? Pretty amazing right … full, vascular, tight. Well that’s basically what you are doing: having one big cheat day so that you can look amazing on stage!
BTW, go to a big pro show like the Olympia, and the night before the show you’ll see a lot of guys walking around with peanut butter and jelly jars!

any way im going by what you said and write for me…pray for me i will let you now how it was in sunaday morning!
whatever happend agin alot of thanks on all the help…[/quote]
The method is effective and WILL work IF you eat enough carbs at night… extend it to 2-3am if you need to fill out a bit more (so from 5pm to 2-3am). Te worst thing you can do is become afraid of holding water and gaining fat and NOT EATING ENOUGH CARBS. If you do this you WILL come in flat the next morning.
Also, go easy on the diuretics. Most of the time, if you are flat it’s because your muscles en emptied out of their water stores.
It’s almost impossible to design a peaking procedure for someone you don’t know. So what I gave you is a general “program”. It should produce amazing results (you’ll probably be surprised about how you look the day of the show) but you’ll need to be smart about this.
AND MOST OF ALL, don’t let what the other guys say get into your head.
