Hey everyone. I had a question about cutting down some excess fat. I've been on a cut for just over a month. About 2 weeks ago I started doing my heavy training workouts in the morning without eating first.
What I usually do is take my pre-workout supplement right when I wake up, which is either Jack3d or dymatize xpand, and then 30 minutes later hit the weights. When I weight train I always warm up by jogging 2 laps, then two warm up sets of my first set.(little to no weight 20 reps first, then half starting weight 15 reps second) After around 7 or 8 workouts, with 3-4 sets each, i do about 10 minutes low intensity cardio(4.0-4.2 speed, 3.0 incline), maybe with a faster few intervals in between. Then I take creatine mono with about 100 calories worth of raisins or a quick carb, and do about 10 minutes of stretches, followed by 1 serving of Syntha 6(200 calories, 22 grams of protein). The workouts usually take about an hour and a half, so the first time I eat is about 2 hours after I wake up. I eat about an hour and a half later as well.
I do this Monday with Shoulders and Forearms, Tuesday with Chest and Tris, Thursday with Back and Bis, and Friday with Legs. I do around one ab workout each day after my main muscle groups.
All in all I get about 2200 calories a day while on this program. I also take a fat burner, was Leviathan Reloaded but now I'm switching to SlimX. (I only take one serving later in the day on workout days due to the caffeine in my pre-workout supp.)
I want to know opinions on whether this is overkill, or I'm screwing my metabolism up in some way because of this? I've always read cardio in the morning fasted for about 45 minutes is a good idea, but not much about a full 2 hour workout like mine. I'm 6'1" and about 183lbs. I appreciate all help and really am just trying to learn!
