My carb load worked great after 14 days with no carbs. I "gained" about 11lbs and felt leaner and stronger. I kept my fat on the low side and aimed for more sugar/starch instead. Next Saturday I am going to try to have more orange juice and or simple sugars before my "heavy" clean & jerks to see if this helps with my strength.
My training looked like this:
Viking Push Presses - 16kg bells
Double Snatch into VPP
1x2 2 rep
1x4 4 reps
1x6 6 reps
I did the above 4 times
I finished with:
Front Raise Snatch - 16kg bell - 3x10 each arm
Side Raise Snatch - 16kg bell - 3x10 each arm
12 double snatches
48 Viking Push Presses
60 Front Raise Snatches
60 Side Raise Snatches
8,448 total lbs lifted
My workout log for the last 16 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.

Rob,
Does this mean you put on 11 lbs of musicle in 14 days? This happened with no carbs and just protiens and fats for 2 weeks? I really hope my TNT book comes today. I am really interested in this nutrition.

James,
From my artice on this blog: "You want to eat about 75% carbs on the weekend to refill your glycogen stores and get yourself ready for the coming week. You also want to eat when ever you are hungry and as much as possible. You have the ability to over fill your glycogen stores because of the carbohydrate depletion and want to take advantage of the opportunity". You are basically filling your glycogen stores over 100%.
