 Oh, and my show's on Saturday, i'm on my last day of a 3 day depletion and the artical stats that for the first day i should load with High GI carbs- white bread,pasta,rice,potatoes, etc. (this a good idea, any foods to stear clear of) and it says someone about my size will need 800 grams of carbs the first day, then it says to swtich to low gi sources and take in 400 grams for the second, is that the same for the remainder of the load???

Any help greatly appreciated.

Not sure I understand the question.   What "remainder" are you referring to?  The article basically states it's a 48 hour carb load - lower GI during the second 24 hours.

You could ask Lyle himself (bodyrecomposition.com) by posting on the forum.  Don't be surprised if you receive a sarcasic response tho.  I'm willing to bet he'd expect a longer history and understanding of his methods before posting so close to a show.  Then again, he may have a mellow moment or maybe one of the regulars will assist you.

so your show is this sat?

you really should have had your plan layed out already. 

if this is your last week then of course you need to make adjustments in your depletion/carb days.  extend the depletion the extra day and thurs/fri carb up.  its going to be hard for anyone to give you any specific advice without seeing what you look like.

look good...your upper body looks to be right on track...legs seem like they still have to dry out quite a bit.

you shouldnt be training them at all this week... just alot of squeezing and posing.
