Hey Alan,
I'm psyched to have you aboard here. Welcome!
I saw that one of your interests is MMA, so I'm wondering if you have any basic guidelines for a diet conducive to maximizing performance and recovery in MMA training, while also pursuing bodybuilding goals. I had a crazy summer and haven't lifted weights in about a month, but my schedule (though still hectic) has normalized a bit.
My current training:
Mon: Muay Thai
Tues: Upper Body--DC Style
Weds: Muay Thai and BJJ (1 hr each)
Thurs: Lower Body--DC Style
Fri: Muay Thai and BJJ (1 hr each)
Sat: Muay Thai
Sun: Upper Body--DC style
Mon: Repeat with upper/lower flipped
I have a good handle on diet for lifting and low-intensity cardio, but MMA is necessarily high intensity. I love training MT and BJJ, but I still want to pursue physique development. :bb2:
I am a h.s. teacher, so I work long hours in addition to this. I wake up at 4:30am and get to sleep by 10pm (hopefully). I include this info in case you think this is a recipe for rapid overtraining.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
