Fri 5-6-11 Quads/traps/sh
Still had some lingering soreness today, particularly upper back...triceps and some in legs...don’t get me wrong I LOVE the feeling :bigok: ...but come on already!
I wound up doing basically full body but with heavier weight emphasis on calves, quads, traps, shoulders....tossed in some light deadlifts just to work on form.
I popped 2 caps Anabeta preWO, definite difference...increased sweating for sure, perhaps added aggression even...hard to say for sure, b/c (after some going back n forth in a thread related to preWO nutrition and training fasted & now paranoid about it) I also experimented with eating a banana and ½ scoop protein about 15-20 mins prior to taking the preWO & supps today.... will drop that for Monday...but stick with 2 caps AnaBeta preWO, 1 w/lunch, 1 w/dinner....
Which leads me to a question to throw out to all of you...and how much LBM gains I might be limiting myself training in a (near) fasted state...I know there are lots of theories out there and some prefer to train fasted others not...and I do believe it’s ‘optimal’ to eat a balanced preWO meal 1-2 hrs before a workout to maximize LBM gains....it’s just that training first thing in the morning is really my only option and getting up at 3:30-4am is NOT appealing....and is why I use ~30g of BCAA/EAA from preWO thru IntraWO....and then on the other hand along the same line the whole eating close to working out, releasing insulin, negating the fat burning, GH elevation, stim blunting effects & me having been an obese kid/teen having a phobia of regaining fat.....
Here’s my layout
5am wake –
PreWO-
1 scoop mesomorph/CN
3 scoops glycergrow (which is listed as 6g ‘fat’)
1 serving BC+EAA (=10g)
2 anabeta
~5:45 working out
Intra-
2 scoops Intrafuse (which is hydrowhey + leucine)(cals 50, 4g carb, 8g pro)
1 serving BC+EAA (=10g)
1 scoop glycergrow (2g ‘fat’)
Workout done ~7am
1 scoop Hydrobuilder
45-60 mins later
½ scoop Lipotropic
½ cup oatmeal
1/2 – ¾ cup raisin bran
3 hours later lunch....3 hours later snack...3 hour later dinner....3 hours later prebed snack (LipoT + several bites of real coconut)....
Soooo, opinions? I know ultimately the answer is ‘whatever works best for MY body’....so more just wondering if y’all think I’m protecting muscle from being broken down enough to build LBM effectively...
