Wednesday AM (Pre-Glycogen Loading) | 200 | After 2–3 days of lower carbohydrate intake | ||
Friday AM (Post-Glycogen Loading) | 205 | After higher carbohydrate intake | Weight gain suggests glycogen super compensation | |
Saturday AM (Competition Day) | S C E N A R I O S | 202 | Clear urination and BW consistently falling | Further dehydration may improve appearance |
