carb loading ?

[bigandjacked]

hey guys-
im competing in july in the super heavy weight class, currently am at 255lbs at 6.9%bf-this is my first show and im clueless how to carb up-im going to be depleting down to 100g of carbs sunday-tuesday then start my carb load weds-fri-with my bodyweight, how many carbs should i load with? i was thinking of going with 600g-100 each meal 6 times a day what do you think? i have read to stick to the same type of carb throughout the load-is that necessary? if so i was going to stick with oatmeal for the entire three days-any input would be greatly appreciated
thanks

What you load with & how much is going to depend on a couple of things. Like; what your carb sources were during the prep, what kind of condion you're in when you start loading, how depleted you are.

I wouldn't recommend oatmeal for all three days though. Maybe Wednesday through Thursday, then use other options.

thanks for the info-
my carb sources throughout prep have been oats, veges, and brown rice-i have been depleting hard for the last 6 weeks never going over 145g a day;im lean enough to have vascularity in my lower abbs-i was going to start loading tomm in the 600-700g range with oats to see how i look and adjust from there-what do you think?
