14 Day Cycle - Carb amount/length

[ravijosh2]

Hey yall I am new to the forums, but I have been reading Lyle's books for years. I want to thank Lyle for blessing the genetically challenged with the UD2.

I got off my 3 week diet break and started the 14-day version of UD2 that Lyle laid out in the addendum. I see results much faster, and I am still maintaining/gaining strength with the longer cycle.

My question is what to do with the carb load. Lyle says to keep the carb load the same as the 7-day version, with 24-36 hours of overfeeding, BUT in a 14 day cycle, it becomes more flexible. Currently I have my tension workout on Thursday morning, and my power workout Saturday afternoon, giving me at least 48 hours between workouts.

With the extra time, could I achieve greater amount of glycogen storage? Should I still be consuming the recommended amount of carbs (8g/lb) over 48 hours or should I increase this for a longer refeed?

No, stick to Lyle's recommendation of 12-16 g / kg MM, even with morning training
