Refeeds.They seem like fun at first...
Okay, so you know you've consumed enough carbs when you find yourself looking forward to eating tuna again, lol.
Man, that was a tough one. I stayed within my intended range, both with the total grams consumed (~480...maybe a tad high...we'll see) and the five hour period in which to consume the carbs.....I'mjust glad nobody lit a match, or I might have reinacted the whole Hindenburg thing.
Alright,now on to the workout. I've been going with the full body routine two times a week, but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't try a different split...something similar to what Lyle has outlined in the book, but a tad more focused on areas I feel need attention. Not a lot different from what I've been doing....just a little more.
Monday/Upper
Seated Row (Cable or Nautilus)
Bench Press/
Nautilus Incline Press
Lat. PullDown
Tricep Press (Cable)
Curls (Alternate between, ez-bar,DB,hammers)
Thursday/Lower
Leg Press (eventually working back into Squats exclusively)
Leg Curls and/or Rack Pulls (Working back into RDL's exclusively)
Calf work
Leg Extensions (I've been doing these more often than squats)
Weighted Crunches
Back Extensions
Sunday/Upper
DB Press (Flat or Incline)
Seated Row (Cable Close Grip)
DB Lateral Raises
Dips/Tricep Press
Cable Curls
Cable Crossovers
The following Monday would rotate back to the Lower workout, etc. etc.So it is basically what I've been doing with a little accesory work thrown in. Those that are in grey are excercises that I wanted to add, but would be done in few sets (2-3) just because there are certain areas that I would really like to work on.....seems like I have been doing nothing for biceps (yeah, I know curls are over rated) but pecs need a little more attention I think, if nothing more than hitting them from different angles. This is all thrown together, so it will obviously need tweaking. The bottom line is this.....I need to work on my legs without overdoing it (during this diet anyway) and I'd like to tighten up on my pecs and biceps. I have been too nonchalant with squats and RDL's, doing them only when they were most convenient, when the rack was available, or when I didn't get slack and opt for leg press instead. So I really need to focus on these because otherwise Imight end up with developed quads and no hamstrings or glutes....that would be odd, to say the least.
Let me know what you think.....with this diet, as you may already know, the workout is more about not doing too much...which is getting hard for me. Full body is okay, but I'm afraid that the boredom might get me off track eventually. Off to the gym to do one or all of the above listed workouts,lol.
