Let’s get it gangsters today is Friday and I’m coming fresh off a needed rest day ready to attack some weights! Started off with the usual and one of the most important things fasted cardio, no matter what phase you’re in cardio should be a must for heart health and can even help keep you a tiny bit leaner in the offf seasons. Keeping blood and heart markers in check is super important as it dictates how long you can cycle for laying the groundwork of the future. Coach moved my cardio down to 5x30 liss cardio and in an attempt to get my hr up into zone 2 I switched from elliptical to stair stepper we’ll see how that goes. Today is a hybrid day on my ppl routine as I hit a leg/push day today which is one of my favorite days getting a full body pump feeling like a god.
Today’s workout:
Leg ext 3 10-15
Sl leg press 2x10-15
Lying ham curl 2x8-12
Prime lateral raise 3x10-15
Hammer strength incline 2x8-12
Pec Dec 3x10-15
Bilateral tri extension 3x8-12
I like to start my workouts with a movement targeting a weaker body part to help bring it up and isolate it while it’s fresh.
Training day so increased calories/carbs today:
Meal 1
200g egg whites
2 whole eggs
2 English muffins
100 g strawberries
Preworkout meal
40g whey isolate
100g blueberries
70g oats with a tablespoon of cinnamon, 2 stevia packets
Yo it’s the weekend but the grind never stops. On the schedule today we have a juicy pull day which I always look forward too bc it’s one of the areas I’m trying to bring up.
Got after it this morning with some fasted cardio on the stair stepper for 30 min with some quality shoulder mobility and stretching done beforehand while I’m waiting for the supps to kick in and my shoulders are always sticky and tight so I work on them twice a day when I can. Cardio went by sooo slow today but we stuck it out no matter how bad I didn’t want to be doing it anymore and we achieved zone 2 for most of the cardio so that’s an improvement I’m usually right in the edge of getting there.
after my first meal of the deal we did some meal prepping and cooked up some green beans and zucchini for the week, chicken was cooked last night as well as the ground beef and potatoes Thursday so we should be set for awhile on food!
Food remains the same as my normal training day meal plan of:
Meal 1
200g egg whites
2 whole eggs
2 English muffins
100 g strawberries
Preworkout meal
40g whey isolate
100g blueberries
70g oats with a tablespoon of cinnamon, 2 stevia packets
What’s goin on everyone coming at you on a busy Sunday funday for me as I had a family Christmas party today so that means CHEAT MEAL!! Sticking to a plan and a diet is super important but living life to its fullest is important as well so we have to find balance. I’ve ate clean before/since thanksgiving so I’ve earned it! Woke up early this morning though to get a quick cardio session in to minimize the damages about to occur and hit 50min liss split between the stair master and elliptical. Since Im also planning on a cheat meal that means I’ll replace two of my meals with the cheat meal so I’ll only eat 3 times and since I splurged and ate desserts I will pull carbs down in the last meal of the day as well to compensate and up protein if I felt calories weren’t too high for the day. Tried to weigh out the food but the plates wouldn’t fit on my scale which sucked. Sundays are off days for me so I’m pretty off plan on this but doing the best I can without pushing cardio too high when I need to rest for my leg day tomorrow. Meal plan looks like:
Meal 1
200g egg whites
2 whole eggs
1 English muffins
100 g strawberries
Meal 2 cheat meal
Meal 3
150g chicken
100g green beans
60g jasmine rice
After I got back home I was feeling so full from my meal I went back to the gym to get some steps in and digest. Also couldn’t help myself but hit cardio again for another 30 minutes after the crimes I committed
Currently got my eye on a few holiday deals over at usp could always use some more “presents”
