I'd suggest trying to incorporate 30 mins cardio prior to breakfast and 30 mins after you've completed your weights session. I find it works wonders. Although to ensure the a.m cardio does not become catabolic I'd recommend taking some glutamine and a glass of orange juice (carbs) before heading out!
Do you do your resistance training in that order? If you do, you should probably think about rearranging your routine so that all compound exercises are done first (i.e bench press) and all isolation exercises are done afterwards. (i.e tricep extension)
Do you operate a split pattern? I couldn't work it out.
Although what Wogi said is good, I'd get bored with that.... Why not try to incorporate your routine into a 2 day split like push-pull days for example. This would mean you are training only twice a week and may aid in your recovery.
Make sure whatever you do, you bring in DEADLIFTS & SQUATS into your routine. They're amazing!!!! |
Hi BabyYoYo
I don't really have an order I do it in, I just use which ever machine is free. I will look into getting some Squats and Deadlifts added into the program. I don't quite underatand the push-pull training idea, I have an idea of what it involves, but I will read up on it today.
I think I do need to do more Cardio, I work out in the mornings, so currently do the 15 minutes before breakfast.
With regards to diet, I don't really have to strict of a diet, e.g i find it hard to eat 5-6 times daily due to working in the office and having limited facilities, really only have a microwave here.
I usually have something like
Breakfast
2 poaced egg on 2 brown toast, H&B Egg and Milk Protein on training days. Wellman vitamin tablet.
Lunch
Something like a Salmon in a wholemeal roll, or lean chicken or turkey in wholemeal roll.
Snacks,
Fruit, nuts.
Dinner,
Really whatever my parents cook for me as i'm still at home, but recently been cooking myself something like chicken breast, or Oriental Salmon with a jacket potato.
I drink about 5 cups of tea a day, and drink about 500ml of pure water.
I'm not a huge fan of fruit or veg, but do try to eat a piece of fruit a day.
This diet is probably rubbish isn't it? But is an improvement of my old one. Any suggestions would be much appreciate with terms to diet, I'm not really a fan of Rice and that stuff either which is probably a problem.
I have only been doing this for about 2 weeks. It isn't the pain which bugs me, its that I thought that you have to wait till it goes to train again. I have now found out its alright as long as you have a days break inbetween.
Cheers for the help again.
