Interval cardio pre weights targets the metabolic rate, burning fat without losing muscle.

 

What's the difference between interval cardio and hiit? Nothing.

 

I love y'all's arguments

Before, I was eating every 2 hrs on a +500 calorie above maintenance bulk. The only time my stomach was empty was when I was sleeping.

 

Every two hours....gross. I can't do that.

Only way I can eat is intermittent fasting.

 

I tried that and liked it a lot, but with my current schedule, it'd be hard. My metabolism is super fast, so I only feel bloated after a big meal for only around 20 mins. That being said, I couldn't go as far as drinking milk or something before a workout.

 

Protein is milk derived...I can't drink it intra...or pre.

I rarely feel bloated doing intermittent fasting. Seems to work best for me. I bet though a coach is gonna shut that down if I try to get one to prep me for a show.

 

The only protein I do is post workout and before bed...until this bcaa crisis...I just put about a tablespoon of protein powder with it intra to hide the taste.

I'd find a coach who endorses it!

 

I honestly dont feel like I need Intra workout drinks...my body craves a shit ton of water during my workouts... 4-5 times filling up my 20 ounce shaker bottle

 

So I went from being addicted to pre workout to being addicted to coffee. Fuck. Gonna go hit bench in a bit .

 

x2, but Sean suggested that I try the BCAA's, so I am...still not sure about 'em

I'm addicted to both. Love some Duncan Donuts coffee

 

Do you guys even leg day?

 

Lol naw, just their theme I guess

 

at least its not purple and yellow



I try and stick to the basics for leg workouts (compound lifts)
back squats
deadlifts
lunges
running/biking

 

Yea, did the stair climber for 20, then some 720 lb leg press, 6 reps 4 sets, then drop sets to failure.

Finished up with the extensions.

 

the stairclimber/stepmill is no joke. I used it for the first time last week. My hamstrings and glutes were pretty sore the next 2 days

 

I just tried hack squats for the first time last week and liked them a lot. I've got legs tomorrow, so I'm probably gonna do:

back squats
hack squats
deadlifts
leg press
