Did cardio again this morning for about 30 minutes @ a moderate pace. Not trying to be a hero nor am I trying to be slothful. Just doing enough to get my body in that "excited" state just to elevate my energy levels enough to dip into that stored "potential energy." This enables my circulatory and respiratory systems to increase the supply of oxygen and blood to my muscles, which is ideal for building muscle. Using the potential energy in your body spares muscle tissue. Again, that takes time to get down pat through trial and error. It took me a long time to "know" my body. No such thing as instant gratification at this game unless you don't mind doing shoddy work, which of course will reflect on your physique.
Hydration: I upped my water intake, for now I will strive for 1 gallon of water a day, then gradually take in more. Water transports molecules and cells throughout the body. Water is a major component of blood, which carries oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue and is responsible for maintaining cells in working order; exactly what we want to pack on quality muscle. Therefore, drink, drink, drink, and drink some more!
Diet: is dialed in. starting at 6 meals a day, then will gradually go to 7 and then maybe 8 a day, depending how I look and feel. Remember, I said, my original diet was "tentative," so I feel 6 meals a day is suffice right now in order to get my body adjusted to this shock. Once, I feel my body has adapted I will insert another meal, and repeat it again; I will not eat more than 8 meals a day. I eat 'complete and incomplete' protein to give my body a variety so it will not get used to one type of protein (i love mixing things up). I stick to complex carbs because they are broken down slower than simple carbs; I avoid simple carbs because I don't want any insulin spikes because that makes you more susceptible to storing fat.. Now, this is my philosophy, and it works for me. I'm not trying pin my thing on anyone..
Trained arms today: Concentrated on my "muscular endurance," which is conditioning them with high reps and adding forced reps, so in the near future I will be able to blast my muscles without them fatiguing. I stay far away from (1 RM), it's worthless for bodybuilders. I can bench press 500 lb, military 350, and dead 600 for 1-2 reps anytime I want, but I can careless about trying to impress people ; that method of training is detrimental to a BB. True story. I saw a guy one time military press (front) over 400 lbs for a triple; his form was exact, strict, and perfect. His problem was he weighed about 320 @ 30-40% BF. I rather look like I can military 4 bills than actually do it and look like a bloated fish! Nuff said!
BIs:
4x15 standing barbell curls
4x15 Preacher curls
TRIs
4x15 close grip bench
4x15 pull downs with the rope.
Note* I did 8 sets for BIs and TRIs and only did two exercises for each body part. Again, no set protocol; just going by how I feel; and concentrating on isolating the muscle and getting a nice pump, and avoiding overtraining..
Glad the holidays are over. No post-holiday blues here. 2013 is all mine!!
