Decided to start Skiploading again.
I had been cutting down for my boxing (needed to get to middleweight 165lb) and I successfully did this. In fact it was relatively easy this time and I won my state belt 3 days ago
.
My fight was Saturday and it fitted perfectly with my Skipload on the Sunday.
Now when I did Skiploading last year I didn't do it correctly. In fact it was pretty much shitloading and I went from when I woke up to when I went to sleep. I was pretty much spinning my wheels as it was taking all week to baseline and I only just dropped the weight each week (I had to make it up by dropping weekly calories lower).
I did it properly this time and started with a 6 hour load. No milk, low fat and all the cereal, pancakes and maple syrup I could eat (but never got to the point of discomfort at all).
I didn't count the carbs as I was eating them but at the end of the day I thought I would work them out just out of curiosity and I got just over 1000g.
I actually followed the next day with a much higher carb and calorie intake than I planned (had about 350g of carbs and 3000+ cals) but even though I did this and I had a rest day (usually train on Monday) I still dropped below baseline today (two days later)!
Guess I will go with a 7 hour load next time
I'm using this as a means to maintain my weight as I have already reached my desired weight class.
This is me with my belt this Saturday:
