WORKOUT UPDATE!!!

As my followers know I had been training my whole body almost everyday (5 times per week!) from April through October and making great gains. I remained very lean and my muscles became harder and more dense in appearance. I did noext to no cardio other than a few high intensity "ladders" a few times per week. My mainstay dietary regimen in high protein/ultra low card/moderate fat. This has been and will always be the way I eat due to my Type 1 diabetes. It suits me just fine as my blood glucose levels are so stable I am a "doctor's dream."

Due to mental burnout and feeling the need for more recuperation I halted this type of daily, whole body training in early October and trained a basic upper body/lower body split four days per week for the past month (Mon: Upper body, Tuesday: Legs & 15 min. cardio, Wed: OFF. Thursday: Upper Body, Friday: OFF, Saturday: Legs, cardio for 30 min on stationary bike). This workout worked well for me for the past month and as of today I RETURNED to my whole body, 5 day per week cycle. I will continue this until #1) I see my gains stalling and I get weaker, OR #2) I feel mental burnout again.

BOY! Training at this pace, who needs cardio! I was in a constant state on oxygen debt. Since I train in the morning with nothing on my stomach other than black coffee and soem N-O Explode (by BSN nutrition).... this stokes my metabolism into pure fat burning mode. Recuperation tip: Immediately after my final set of my final exercise I drink 10 grams of powdered BCAA's (I use BSN's brand)...as this is the ideal "window or opportunity" for soaking up nutrients. About 20 min. later I blend 50 grams of whey isolate protein with 1 cup of frozen mixed berrries (and 10 grams of powdered fiber supplement).
Try my workout routine (exercises change everyday but # of sets stays the same, AND NO CARDIO NEEDED!) and try my meal and supplement regimen. IT WORKS!
