Today is June 10th. July 4th is right around the corner. Are you on track with your physique goals? Here are some things I am currently having success with in my own quest for a solid physique.
1. Diet. 5 days per week I eat the exact same thing. Smoothie for breakfast loaded with frozen fruit, protein powder, peanut butter, and ice. A couple of hours later I mix myself a protein shake. Then I train, and eat a salad with grilled chicken or steak. A couple hours later I have another shake, followed by a late dinner of either chicken or steak on a wrap or in a salad. Boring? Yes. Effective? Yes.
2. Training. 6 days per week I do some type of a difficult training session whether it be lifting heavy weights, doing a fast paced metabolic circuit, or a combination of both. Is it difficult at times? Yes, but if it were easy, everyone would do it and our country wouldn't be a bunch of whales.
3. Short rest periods. When I train, I hardly rest at all and it is working. If you are doing a set and then sitting down, grabbing water, or checking your blackberry, you are robbing yourselves of an effective workout.
4. 200-400 Meter "sprints". I have added in some middle distance sprints into my circuits and they are working wonders. You can almost feel the fat falling off.
5. Removing 90 percent of starch during the week. Get rid of your bread, pasta, potato, and rice if you haven't done so already.
6. Drink a gallon of water everyday.
7. Mike Aylward's bootcamp classes at night. If I am busy and can't get a workout in during the day, I hop in one of Mike's classes at night, and they are real ass kickers. Get yourself signed up as soon as possible.
Best,
TSull
