    Hey guys, been a while.... Prepping for the Jr. Usa's... About 12d out... Sitting at 202# and shooting for light heavy... Question is what do you guys carb up with? I have eaten exclusively brown rice this time and had good luck. I eat oats after I train and just feel really distended... What do you guys carb load with? I am also going to use rice cakes and All Fruit spread. May throw in some english muffins... Just wondering... Know there are some smart gusy here and wanted to get some opinions...

    It all depends on what works for you...I mean you say you've had good luck with Brown rice and you might just go with that, but in higher amounts ofcourse...I wouldnt do anything to crazy, as that will just lead to being overfilled, and stomach problems...Im one of those people that if you look great a week out, then I dont want to do to much the final week...Just carb deplete a tiny bit, carb up the final two or three days and drop the water out friday night (for a saturday show)...I know that doesnt help much...
