Thanks for answering scott,

Ill just have to make sure that i stick to the book as written (though that was going to be the plan, well actually i was planning to do a few weeks either nothing to fail or do in IC for 2/3 weeks post show, first show so unsure how ill feel or the best way to reverse out,
as you say if I feel wiped from the deads still ill just try the DC order as an option (was planning on Vol tier 2 as im doing a fairly high frequency and high Vol atm

Post-show training is an entirely different animal and I think you're smart to wing that based on how you're feeling. MR's would be fun b/c you can pick and choose exercises and keep it fresh in the gym.

If digesting the nutrients overnight would you then have a slightly increased protein intake during this last meal or do you think the same amount of protein as with other meals (lets say 40g X 6 is the standard) would it be beneficial to say weight the last meal higher in protein as the digestion of the nutrients is happening over a longer period?

I'd simply use micellar casein as your protein source. This would probably end up helping you get in plenty of carbs, say as pancakes and a casein protein drink.

(The other option I failed to mention is that you could have a carb/pro shake in the middle of the night, if you're someone who would wake up anyway to pee and having he shake would not disturb your sleep. IF you've not got a mini-fridge, you can make a shake (blended already) and load it with a lot of ice so that it stays cool during the night as the ice melts.)
