Carb depletion and load

I have a question about my dep and load.
I have an example of what I do before a show. The first meal plan is for depletion which I follow 4 days starting on saturday 1 week before the show. The second meal plan is for load which a follow 2 days (wed, thu), my show is on Friday morning.
I train during depletion still hard, but don't train on wed, thu. On these 2 days I hit all mandatory poses like 5-7 minutes before each meal to strengthen the glycogen uptake
