Thursday June 10th, 2003—Day 477
Weight: 114

NHE: Day 11

I think I finished eating after 9:30pm. That means I have to wait 24 hrs after carbup before I workout. It should be a cardio day today but since it is kinda late to go to the gym. I will do shoulders, biceps and triceps tonight (at home) and do cardio tomorrow. I hope this is okay. I will make sure to have my carbup meal earlier than that so I can do my workouts as planned.

I actually think this is better - do your weights while you have the blood sugar and the glycogen. I'm thinking cardio will do better work when you've used this up.

Hey there cutie - you're doing well!

Now - I'm trying to remember - are you doing the bulk, or the cut?

And how do you prepare plantains?

Hi Red!

Yeah, next legs is Sunday so I'll make sure I make it a good one to make up

*thinks gyms should have an infinite number of machines and weights*

Your scale went down after a carb up

You're just too weird!

NHE: Day 12

Hi Doogie! Hey Built!

Cardio: 21 minutes BFL style (made up for cardio after weights usually do on a weight day b/c did weights yesterday)

Then 20 minutes for today's cardio.

That means I'm caught up.

No Abs didn't have time.

Not sure if to do the cardio I am supposed to do tomorrow or do weights instead, I'm thinking quads, hams and calves but then that will mess up next week since Monday is supposed to be quads, hams and calves. Since Sunday is my off day maybe it's ok to do legs again on Monday or Maybe I'll do chest and back on Monday and then do quads, hams and calves on Wednesday (carbup day).

Hi red!

I'm not quite sure what you're saying.... are you suggesting doing legs on Saturday and Monday with only one day recovery between them?

I'd go for saying no!

I know you'd train legs with one day in between if you were doing 3 * full body workouts a week, but you're doing splits so that you can go harder on that body part and so you can benefit from the extra recovery time.

Because I'm currently just doing upper/ lower split as per BFL, when I have to shift things about I normally end up bumping the whole week's workouts round by a day.

You'd be best to save legs till Wednesday, much better idea

(although that's just from a workout/ recovery point of view, not thinking about the glycogen issue from your NHE eating plan.... I'll leave that one to Built!

I agree with doogie - do your quads on Wednesday - let 'em heal.

What do you mean a clean bulk?

a clean bulk means you eat about 1.5-2 grams per pound of body weight in protein, cleans carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, cous cous, veggies and your good fats...you just eat more of it so you gain weight. If done properly you can add muscle and very little fat, so that when you start cutting (dieting), you will have more muscle left when you are done. Usually these cycles run 10-12 weeks each, bulk up, lift heavy no cardio, cut down, lift a little lighter, more cardio

Thanks Lift!

This should be in here instead.
