A different approach to carb loading

[big_byrd52]

I have read that during contest week, some people carbed up early and then dropped water the last 3 days. I can see that with the professionals or when you don't have to worry making weight. I have heard that some people's weight jumped 12-20 lbs in a couple of days. Would that be wise to do on the amateur level when you are near the top of your weight class, typically?

How would you go about doing it?

If you are 200lbs now, and then carb up, you won't make the l-heavies. Why chance it?
