Drinking during..

[teamfatboy]

I've done a morning-night split, I'll PM a copy of the programme to you when I get home. Each session's quite short, from memory leg day was quads in the AM, hams/calves at night, for instance.

I also suspect that 12 weeks out from my comp, PT will have me on a cardio before breakfast/ workout before work/ workout after work/ cardio at night split... :pale: in anticipation.

Good luck, and well done for getting the 'Weight watcher girls' to join you :clap:

i usually don't sleep my last night

I was thinking of doing my back and chest when i go with them in the afternoon

how does that sound - so just a bit of cardio and then legs in the AM?

That should work, but you may find it easier to match back with biceps, and chest with triceps, and then do legs on a day when you don't have 2 cardio sessions.

but try a couple of different routines and see what works for you

I did find that my routine used to work for me - but i am getttin bored with it now - hmmm maybe that's a different forum to be askin how to adjust this LOL :?

Thank you for all the input - and Lamb. i look forward to taking a look at what you send me! THANX! :grin: :grin:

My old trainer used to advise me not to drink during my work out - said that it took blood from my muscles to help my stomach digest and i'd loose my pump druing the work out.

I've followed what he's taught me but i've always wondered if he's just blowin hot air on that one. He also suggested working out before I ate in the morning for the same reason.

Any veiws on this?

VERDICT: He did it for the LULZ

Intra-workout supplementation.

Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)

Electrolytes

Fast absorbing carbohydrates (Dextrose etc)

I've been trialing this for a couple of months now using -

Purple Wrath (Controlled Labs)

Elete Electolytes (MRI)

Dextrose (Pak n Save)

Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)

Have a number of benefits. The main one being to help stop the catabolic effect of training, which is the breaking down of muscle tissue.

Electrolytes

To help rehydrate you. Water is nothing without having enough electrolites in your muscles/body. Water is there as a transporter.

Fast absorbing carbohydrates (Dextrose etc)

To make sure you have an adequate supply of fast carbohydrates during training, along with helping decrease the release of catabolic hormones so you can build more muscle - not destroy it.

If you're CUTTING then maybe i would suggest throwing in L-Carnitine, 1 hour - 15 minutes pre-workout to help mobilise fat stores. As for the above, its more designed towards a BULK.

[Goddess78]

aaah ok (thanks for the lingo check hehe)

I'll try that then :grin: :grin:

Thank you for the help! :nod: :nod:

If you've got Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, or Popeyes in your part o' Canada, they'd be a good start.

[Goddess78]

I drink between each set. Just a mouthful. Dehydration is a workout killer!
