Thanks everyone, need all the motivation I can get some days
Cardio...well I have 80 minutes and I never want to do more then 60 minutes in a session. He didn't give me any guidance but from my own experience over 60 minutes is just too much. Normally I do 45-60 minutes in the morning and the rest at night. today I did 55 minutes on the stairmill and then will finish up with 25 on the treadmill tonight probably.
As far as cardio of choice...either incline walking on the treadmill, keep it above an 8% incline and 2.8 speed. Throughout the workout I will put the incline up to 15% and up to 3.6 speed but at the higher inclines and speeds I will hold onto the top of the machine. I try to not hold on for about half of the workout.
For the stairs I do levels 3-5 and occasionally will put it on one of the programs if I am completely brain dead. Throughout the stair workout I try to do some side steps and backwards stepping to change it up a bit.
My night cardio is after my workout which is why I try to get the bulk of it in earlier. Not sure what I am going to do once he ups it to 2 hours a day which is where I fear it is going.
I was talking with my friend Nicole last night and she was questioning the amount of cardio as well as the fact that I don't have a day off. She asked why I haven't questioned this...I suppose she is right, I should at least see why I don't even have a day off to recoup but I suppuse I am just following exactly what he tells me to do and see what kind of results I get.
TigerEyes you mentioned my old lifts...
I miss those days but now even though I am probably stronger I have had a few lower back tweaks and normally I don't go above 295 on my heaviest days. You are right there if you are repping 255. I don't think this is as impressive as other do, I just think with consistant heavy lifting you see results and most people don't push themselves hard on legs because it is hard.
Thanks BigB! Sometimes I wonder how I will get lean enough in just under 10 weeks but I will end up driving myself crazy if I think about it all the time. Thanks for being a friend.
Mazda, no changes in the diet so far. I can't wait for tomorrow-one of my high fat days and all I can think about is that first tablespoon of peanut butter in the morning. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
