My glycogen depletion workout

This is a workout routine that I use the day before my progress pics at the end of my cutting cycle, it depletes all of the main muscles of glycogen and this helps you 'carb up' over night before your pics to look fuller as well as preventing any fat stirage in the carb up phase. It os a circuit style training cycle with each set being performed in order. Each is also an isolation style move (mostly) in order ot deplete each individual muscle.

Circuit 1:
Lat pull down - 20    20   20 reps
Bench Press - 20   20    20 reps
Bicep curls - 15   15   15 reps
Tricep pull down - 20   20   15 reps
Leg raise -  15   15   15 reps
Leg Curl - 20   20   20 reps
Shoulder press - 20   20   15 reps

Circuit 2:
Side crunches - 10   10   10 reps
Knee up crunches - 30   25   20 reps
Push ups - 50   40   40 reps
Upright row - 15   10   10 reps
Lateral raise - 12  10 reps

Finish of with a 1km walk on incline Tredmill.

This should help boost your metabolism over the next few hours and if you have been on a low carb diet for a few weeks, then this should deplete your muscles of most of their glycogen. Then when your carb up a bit later in the day, by tomorow your body will be looking fuller and when you pump up before steping on stage you will look larger and yet still ripped.
