Six to 7 days a week plus an active job. Plus I now have 2 10k cheat days a week.
Yes. I have a rotation of heavy and light days but even my light days are pretty heavy. An example would be my light chest day I did yesterday which was 245x4x10 flat BB and 85x4x10 incline DB. On my heavy days I work up to 3 sets of 3. Without knowing your goals (bulk, cut, maintain) it's hard to give advice. If you just want to have a no holds bars cheat day once a week I say stick to 6 strict days under 2k with (I go 1500) and enjoy your cheat day. I'd be shocked if you actually didn't lean out doing this.Holy cow. So you're lifting pretty heavy all those days? I think I'm only doing 3-4 days a week and I want to fold pizzas in half and turn them into calzones. Wondering what you'd recommend in that case (besides just 1 cheat day lol).
I also have a pack of these I haven't dug into yet so I need to finish them. =|
He, like every other person suggesting over 1.5g/kg, is saying, "well, the evidence suggests that it isn't harmful, and despite us not having edvidence, it might still actually be more beneficial, so might as well eat a bit more."
It works man. Physically and mentally.
There's a lot of stuff in there that needs some reassessment. Weight belt thing too.
That's right. Oh I will. One cup of milk and one scoop is how it's done!
Low rep sets and lots of food.
In the US, a lot of cyclists are really rude on shared use trails. I won't speak to actual shared use roads, because I'm always overly courteous for safety reasons. I've only ever been in three physical altercations in my life, all three of which have been from angry cyclists assaulting me or my wife. I can't help but carry that animosity towards the sport in general.I know you guys don't understand cardio stuff, but I'm really quite pleased with an achievement I just made. Last year I did a particular turbo trainer session that I barely completed, one of the toughest I've ever done.
I just did the same one at a 25% higher power output, and I had enough strength / energy left to sprint for the last couple of minutes.
Genuinely pleased.
Edit - I just realised that in weights terms 25% increase doesn't look like much. lol. You'll have to take my word for it being a fairly decent increase in cycling power output.
Iono about all that, but I thought there might be some cultural differences.
Yup. Lift as much weight as you can for 3-5 reps for a few sets at least once a week.
What's on the menu?
I find the balance of 2k calories 6 days a week and a cheat day of 4-5k pretty satisfying and effective. That's with 35-40min cardio 6 days a week though.
Get to where you want to be aesthetically and then join me for a euphoric gluttony filled day of pizza, ice cream, and whatever the hell else you feel like.
