Big Dog , so your 36 hours starts ticking then immediatley after your Friday morning workout. I want that window to start for myself mid Saturday ending Sunday evening.So that would mean My intense workout can begin Monday evening and end mid-saturday .

As far as post-carb loading , I heard its a good method to get your carbs during this period , since your mucles are depleted of all its glycemic stores and most your carbs will be absorbed by them.
