talking to lightman
but its regarding contest prep,
peak week, carb manipulation, sodium intake etc.
lmk if you have strengths in this area.
Only what I have heard from bodybuilders, I never competed. So, kinda yeah. But I will say right now I've heard different stories. Some of them were big on chromium picolinate around that time. This was mostly late 90s/early2000s bodybuilders telling me this. These days I send any bodybuilders to a guy I know for comp prep. He gets good results for them.
This may be worth a gander:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne-norton-peak-week.htmle: also, do what makes the most sense, not what you see being said most often. lightman usually has pretty accurate views/10.
e2: my gathered view, not saying it is perfect, is that as you carb load you want to err on the side of caution to avoid flattening out. Thus do it slowly. You add water for muscle bellies, but I don't know how much. Enough to fill it in as glycogen stores return. Sodium is required for transport, but again i don't know how much, but I do know that if it's done wrong it can be dangerous. Just common sense stuff.
