    I havnt go the time to put you right so if someone else could I'd appreciate that....

    405.... Get an extract from UD2.... There has to be something in there about depleting glycogen stores since that's pretty much what the diet is based around...
    According to lyle macdonald the body has a capacity of approx 500g carbs worth of glycogen (if memory serves). Thatd be 2000cals..

    Also it takes approx 10-12 sets per muscle group to deplete glycogen and this is at 60% 1 rep max at 45-60 secs under tension. He also instructs u to do additional cardio "in case theres still some glycogen left over"..

    I have done this depletion workout over a pd of months. I know it well. It is brutal and painful and the hardest workout ive had to do. NO WAY this can be duplicated ina 45 min spin class.. Or even 45mins of a tour de france race at tour de france speed..

    It takes me about 1.5-2 hrs to complete per day amd its a 2 day process (3-4hrs)...

    Mockery: my test was 900(total) 25(free) during the time of this cut i referred to above.. Within normal ranges..

    Yup agree to the 2000kCals. Approx 500kcals are stored in the liver. 100kcals in the blood as glucose and the rest in the muscle. However, it is important to note that the glycogen stored in muscle is used directly by that muscle during exercise, it cannot borrow glycogen from other resting muscles.

    Your glycogen stores aren't always full to capacity.

    I'm a cyclist and have seen it many times how muscles is burnt away. Happened to me as well...

    Rather safe than sorry... If you stick to cardio, that is <80% RPE (80% is by no means easy) you will burn more fat and do not have to worry about glycogen depletion.
