And is workout out right before you go to bed bad? | If at all possible do not workout right before going to bed. After you workout your metabolism is racing and you want to keep that going. Have a protein shake before your workout then some kind of carbohydrate afterward. You may want more ab variety besides crunches as well. Try some jacknifes or leg raises or anything but not just crunches. As for the rest looks good for now just keep working hard on the compound lifts. Any other questions? |

Its best to workout no less then an hour before bed (reason is related to your endocrine system). |

| | | That's a lot of volume if you want to go heavy, so I'd recommend splitting the workout in two. Also add a vertical push and a vertical pull (e.g. military press and chins/pullups). It would look like this:
Workout A:
1. squat
2. bench press
3. chins/pullups
Workout B:
1. deadlift
2. military press
3. barbell row
Alternate A and B, or mix it up however feels good to you, but keep the deadlifts and squats on different days because they're the most physically taxing.
Ditch the curls and work your way up to heavy chins--your biceps will blow up.

Some Reports claim that workout out before bed disrupts ones "Sleep" hormones.
Keeping your workout no closer then an hour before should prevent one from needing to worry about this. |

Looks good. Now go do it! Also, make sure to vary set-rep schemes to shock your muscles in different ways, keeping within the 25-50 rep volume needed for hypertrophy in new trainees. For example, one workout could be 3 sets of 10, another one could be 10 sets of 3, or 5x5, 6x6...whatever you want, really.
Also, make sure you do the following regarding nutrition:
1. Eat every 2-3 hours, no matter what. You should eat between 5-8 meals per day.
2. Eat complete (containing all the essential amino acids), lean protein with each meal.
3. Eat fruits and/or vegetables with each food meal.
4. Ensure that your carbohydrate intake comes from fruits and vegetables. Exception: workout and post-workout drinks and meals.
5. Ensure that 25-35% of your energy intake comes from fat, with your fat intake split equally between saturates (e.g. animal fat), monounsaturates (e.g., olive oil), and polyunsaturates (e.g. flax oil, salmon oil).
6. Drink only non-calorie containing beverages, the best choices being water and green tea.
7. Eat mostly whole foods (except workout and post-workout drinks).
Eat right, workout right, sleep right, and grow! |

| | yeah, HIIT burns cals, so you will have to eat more so you dont go into a deflict. It is possible though, just dont do it for a long time. Alot of newbies do HIIT for way too long and it starts burning muscle (though, its not true HIIT, because true HIIT for a long period of time is kinda impossible  ) So keep it like 15-20 min.. thats all you need when you do HIIT |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
