so heres my plan.

water retention- july 22nd, 2 gal
july 23ed, 1 gal
july 24th, 2 qts.
july 25th, 1 qt.
july 26th, 8oz

july 23ed, 150 crabs
july 24th, 200 carbs
july 25th, 300 carbs
july 26th, 400 carbs <--?????

While you add in water, you need to add in Sodium as well. For that schedule, the first 2 days I'd recommend at least 10-12 shakes of salt per meal. 0 salt on Thursday for sure. Also, as far as carb loading is concerned, it really depends on how you feel and your body type. You might want to be 50-75g of carbs all the way from Saturday to Thursday and not start carbing up until Thursday night or Friday.

=edit* Oh I didn't notice the dates. All BB comps in the states are on Saturdays, so you'll want to adjust your schedule accordingly. From Sunday to Wednesday you drink as much as you can, at least 2 gallons with 10-12 shakes of salt at every meal. Thursday til comp day is 0 salt. Thursday is 1/2 gallon of water, Friday is 1 quart and Saturday (comp day) is only sips.

All your water and salt are spread out evenly. Also with carbs you want to even it out amongst your first few meals of the day. No carbs in the evening.
