I’m currently on a high fat/high protein diet, which means glycogen gets drained throughout the week until the weekend carb up. I want to try this split out pretty soon. I think it will be good for adding size and strength, as well as depleting glycogen before the carb up a little more than my current split.
So my questions are:
Would doing the light lower day earlier in the week have any affect on the heavy lower day later in the week because of depleting lower body glycogen? The heavy upper day before the light upper day is not an issue, to me at least.
If so, would there be any reason not to change the split to heavy, heavy, light, light?
I’m not sure if I missed it or what but when doing the heavy sets, would you use the same weight throughout, work up to just under 3 rep max, or start near the rep max and decrease the weight slightly on each set so that it is the same difficulty?
