what do you guys carb load on

This is something you will have to figure out what works good for your body. There are a lot of variables involved in this question.

Have you been on zero carbs leading into the last week?
What day is the show, Saturday, Friday?
What are you doing with your water and sodium?

I answered you PM but wanted to write in here as well. Cookie cutter programs can work fairly well to a certain point but at a week out it would not be a good idea for someone to write out your schedule when they have no idea of your conditioning level. Without seeing any pictures or seeing you in person I would not feel comfortable telling you what to do the last 7 days. Also, the last week things change so fast many plans need to be altered on a daily basis depending on how your body is responding to things.

This is all very true. I will say one thing as a general rule, be carefull "carb loading" too soon since your not on zero carbs going into the last week. Don't want to spill over.

You need to either hire someone that knows what they are doing and looking at or next time do more research on differnet ways of doing this and experement.

I agree 100% fire guy. But this guy seems like he has no one else to turn to. He has started so many threads, asking so many questions, I think we should at least give him some general idea of what to do the last week. He is now 6 days out and doesn't have anything to go on except what we tell him.

thx for all your input guys.i do have a basic idea of what to do from reading many posts on here and doin some research as well.i posts many posts mainly just to get input from difff people and than what i do is come to my own conclusion what to do.i just like hearing from as many people as poss as to what they do and dnt necessarily follow what they do but just like to hear what they do as well.one thing i have mainly learned is its diff for eveeryone because of many diff circumstances so you cant follow just anyones protocol and yes if i do good this show i will prob hire someone for my nxt show so i cann really dial it in.thx again for all your input guys.
