Things need to change a bit, I am now in "competition prep" so this means my training will change, just as my diet changes.
I add in more cardio, starting off with a few days a week extra, and then I will monitor how I look and will add or take away days.
I need to start concentrating on my Back again, and the delts need to be round and pop.
It's not like I have been neglecting anything, but I haven't been focusing in on any specific muscles other than trying to bring up the size of my legs.
So what will I be doing for the next few weeks? It's not a dramatic change, but it is a change.

The treadmill at home may vary when I actually do it, since it is right there I just fit it in between meals when I am not doing anything else! It is likely that I may start napping more days too, and not just on Wednesday (the day I actually lift twice).
I got tired just reading that!
ReplyDeleteHey Charlotte- I KNOW you are joking, but I actually feel better at work when I get out and do something, it isn't long, but enough to get the blood flowing again after siting at my desk for so long!
ReplyDeleteKristy - Everything I read says to incorporate at least one rest day into a training regimen. How come you don't. Do you ever feel like you should?
ReplyDeletePhil- There is a great deal of science surrounding this and so much can vary- the person, the training, the nutrition, the sleep patterns. Years ago I trained with a Collegiate Strength Coach (SC in my blog), he had a Masters degree in his field. Not to put down personal trainers, but he studied to do just this, he was quite knowledgable. He wrote a new training program for me every three weeks and on day it had me training 7 days a week when i usually did 5 or 6! I got all agitated and told him I needed a rest day and we discussed it at length. I am not an olympic athlete or a professional athlete who trains hours and hours everyday. I am a recreational athlete, the demands are not that of an elite athlete. If I eat a proper diet, and I have a regular sleep pattern, with adequate rest, there is no need for a "rest day" unless I need one emotionally. I have trained 7 days a week now for about 4 years and have never felt I needed a day off. I will sometimes cut my training short if I am tired, but I gain energy and emotional well being from training every single day. I say let your own body and mind be your guide. I will be interested to hear how things go and what you decide!
