Ruhl's Shred Thread

[Ruhlfreak55]

I'd mainly like help from the pros on some of this....just gonna post some of my diet and training stuff. Any help is appreciated as I don't have any money to hire a trainer for my contest prep

Training is 3 on 1 off now with the rotation of: chest, legs, arms, shoulders, back............traps with shoulders....calves and abs alternated daily.

as anyone from AR prolly knows i recently changed this from my long time 6 on 1 off split with the same bodypart rotation.

Cardio at the moment is 1 hour in the mornings on an empty stomach mon-fri...weekends off cardio

16 weeks out as of this morning.

I'd mainly like help from the pros on some of this....just gonna post some of my diet and training stuff. Any help is appreciated as I don't have any money to hire a trainer for my contest prep

Training is 3 on 1 off now with the rotation of: chest, legs, arms, shoulders, back............traps with shoulders....calves and abs alternated daily.

as anyone from AR prolly knows i recently changed this from my long time 6 on 1 off split with the same bodypart rotation.

16 weeks out as of this morning.

put cardio on the weekends and cut down time to 45minutes per session if going on an empty stomach

phate you know you have to give me the reasoning for me to change something.....on weekends it couldn't be first thing on an empty stomach either cuz the gym doesn't open till 10 and 12 respectively....i'm not adverse to this...just want to know why you suggest it

performing cardio on an empty stomach for over 45 minutes can cause you to start entering gluconeogenesis and breaking down muscle for energy

depending on when you wake up, you could have a protein meal and still be in a glycogen depleted state, then go to the gym, do cardio, and immediately afterward eat a pro/carb meal

awww shit....time to go train some back!!!!!
