Size Strength & Awesomeness

The Gatorade has fructose in it which is known to cause stomach discomfort due to it having to convert to glucose before it is usable for the body. Ive noticed avoiding fructose has helped my stomach alot.

Been using Gatorade for 8 months. No issues prior so isn't the gatorade

T NATION | Tried and True Bodybuilding Program Template

Today is last heavy day for a while

The link seems very confusing, first they say be flexible and then they say be rigid. Dichotomies are usually confusing to me though....

Are you deloading because you're plateaued? I dont see the reason for deloading for long periods of time unless you're missing lifts. I could understand deloading due to working chest (for example) once in the same week already.

Secondly this workout split has 4 rep sets and 20 rep sets mixed in. Are you going to create your workout split from these templates? If so , could you post up what your split will look like from the templates on the URL?
 
Lil date time ya feel me!?

Anyways. Killer leg session! I upped my calorie intake cuz of the extra work. I worked out with the lady n a buddy (mainly my buddy-but had her do squats/lunges n pull ups-if u didnt know, I LOVE pull-ups!)

School is going well. Big test on Thursday (in 1 week) so this weekend will be mainly studying for that n getting my reading done. I'm excited to graduate in December. Going to Loyola made me realize, that going to a school that has a lot of Wealthy kids makes them forget the value of a dollar. Not that I'm not privileged but just something I've noticed over 3.5 years here.

lower intensity Steady state cardio is for someone more then 100lb's overweight such as myself. For someone who can do more higher intensity work (usually someone with a lower BMI) it would be more effective all around conditioning tool.

I think steady state is fine for everyone cuz it just gets the blood flowing n your heart rate is in the fat burning zone + it's easy to do. However, I like sprints because they make your legs generate more power which benefits your lifts and when I consistently sprint, I can get away with eating foods I wouldn't be able to otherwise (I love to cook and sometimes it can be "unhealthy" or high fat/high carb)

The fat burning zone does not burn more fat then other higher intensity forms of cardio. It has also been proven that it burns less total calories then other higher intensity forms of cardio. For this reason, many people will call the "fat burning zone" a myth . The only reason I would advocate it, is because someone who is heavier and less physically fit that may be their only option. As you said , it's easier.

This is true, it's also proven that the HiiT style cardio / training will jack that metabolism for as long as 36 hours post workout, meaning the calories you burn during the exercise are really only the tip of the iceberg per say as it's what your body is doing over the course of the next 36 hours that really makes the big impact.
I think that's how you see athletes who are like 6' 230 have bf of like 10% and still be mobile as hell compared to a 6' 230 BBer.

I don't put weights on back days because I merely focus on contraction. Obviously my weighted chins/pulls/deads I post numbers but prherwise I dot bother.
 
Yah guys, this kid's dips are insane. He can dip a woman strapped to him

Hah thats awesome! And I have the same approach for back days also, much better to feel the contraction in the back otherwise I feel it's so easy to cheat the movements ! Nice workout, and how do you perform a 1 arm BB row? Has me intrigued !
