Good lookin w/o, but alot of volume imo!!! I agree on the HIIT, I also have asthma, and it can be hard!!! Stick with it though, you'll be glad you did!!!

You might want to check this out in the Diet forum, but I am under the impression if you are trying to lose weight, cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is best.

ill give that a try triple threat, im runnin tom mourning so ill see how it goes thanks guys

 

[ironman512]

well i woke up this mourning and i didnt run because i thought i would have a leg workout today, so i wanted to keep them fresh but turns out i was wrong

the workout was an upper body one consisting of:

overall it was a good workout but my chest was sore going into it and now it is sore as a mofo. The clean and preses were also hard as a biotch
i had a PWO shake of 2 scoops whey with 8 once water and a couple pieces of chdder chesse later on

Some would argue that cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach should be used only as a last resort - the risk of losing LBM is very high during this time. It may be best to consume at least something first - a shake or something with some carbs and protein (not really sure on what it should include, you'd have to ask someone else or check out the diet and nutrition section).
