I've been pretty damn religeous to my cardio....
If I'm really bagged or feeling overtrained I have taken the day off of cardio(only happened twice so far)
The biggest problem I found is overtraining by doing excessive cardio... I think I'm just now finding the optimal ammount of cardio for my body...
I started out doing 30-45 min a day, 5 days a week.. which progressed into 40-45min a day, 5 days a week... but I felt very overtrained by the weekend..
So now i am doing 20 min 4x a week and 45 1x a week...
Hopefully this should still give me good results while cutting...
I'm also trying something a little new for myself this week... we'll see how it goes...
Basically instead of only eating 3-4 times a day, with small meals... I'm eating like 6-7 times a day... Almost like snacking constantly all day.. but on good shit... like so far today here is what I've eaten
830am
1/2 cup mac + cheese (no butter) mixed with tuna (yumm)(wanted some good carbs for bench today)
9am diet coke
10:30 two bites of mac+cheese+tuna and a turkey and light cheddar sandwhich on 12 grain bread
12:00 workout
1:45m couple more bites of mac and cheese and tuna (to help refresh my glycogen stores... I hadn't picked up another container of protein yet) and a couple tortelini
2:15 1 can of tuna... plain
3:00 Protein Shake
5:00 Another sandwhich like I made earlier....
Thats what I've eaten up until now... I will probably have a few more bites of mac+cheese and a couple tortelini then jet...
I'd like to point out i don't usually eat as many carbs as this.. but I wanted to beat my PR today and wanted to make sure I was well fueled...
