Carbohydrate Loading Practice in Bodybuilders: Effects on Muscle . . . bodybuilding is the psychological alteration during the preparation for a competition (Mettler et al , 2010) Mitch-ell et al (2017) reported that bodybuilders using the classic loading, which involved a three-day depletion and then su-per-compensation during the competition week (Balon et al , 1992), did not perceive significant changes in
A nutrition and conditioning intervention for natural bodybuilding . . . Despite insightful studies that have documented the physiological changes and dietary practices [6,11,12] that occur during prolonged bodybuilding contest preparation, there have been no case studies that provide a detailed nutrition and conditioning support strategy for the preparation phase of natural bodybuilding competition
Carbohydrate Loading Practice in Bodybuilders: Effects on Mu Most studies involving carbohydrate loading were performed in endurance athletes (Burke et al , 2017), while bodybuilding athletes have also adopted carbohydrate manipulation as a strategy leading up to a contest because they think that more glycogen stores in their muscles can increase muscle size, and impress judges by allowing participants

The effects of preparing for a natural bodybuilding show on the body Bodybuilders usually have distinct periods in their competitive schedule, usually in the form of an off-season and a competition preparation period During their off-season, bodybuilders aim to maximize muscle gain by training hard and being in a calorie surplus, thus gaining weight and often quite a bit of body fat
