Training Day: Week 1 wrap-up

Let’s talk about Muscle Memory y’all!

So I started off super light this week, exactly 60% of 1 rep max and gradually increased resistance with each set. By Saturday, my co-workers were asking me how much weight have I lost, complimenting me on looking “tight”. One client felt my arms and said wow.

I thought everyone was exaggerating but lo and behold, my stats this morning showed inches lost while still maintaining 135.

I’m not mad at all. I guess my muscles do have some semblance of the way I used to be.

This week I’m going in on the weights. I found my back lagging behind during activation week, so I’m changing the sequencing of my program. I’m strength training on alternate days with bouts of intense Cardio between. For optimal results for back building, I’m spacing out back days by 3 days to give them a chance to grow.

Nutritionally, I’m starting up with Myofiber again to fill me up in the mornings. I’m starting to cycle nutrients throughout the day: eating grain/starch heavy in the a.m. and transitioning to veggie and light animal protein in the evening.

Still using Sequels Vega for my morning plant protein with hemp milk and refueling with Nitro-Pro and Coconut Milk after trainings.

Pre-workout is still DotFit Amino Boost XxL: 1 scoop with 16 fl oz of water.

Until next week and hopefully during the week I can’t give you another video about healthy dessert options. ;)
