Well once I saw how much extra
training I had to do for the full marathon, I went
back to bodybuilding!! bugger that! my training altered to keep the
forearm problems under control, where i would have to do
biceps directly after back, and triceps directly after chest, so
they were nice and warm. Along with alot of trips
to the physio, daily stretching, icing and some voltaren, I am
doing ok.
Your training split?
Training is pretty standard, split into 4 days, complete in a week.
No secrets, I just keep all movements slow and controlled to
isolate the muscle group rather than worrying about how much
weight I am lifting.
What's your typical meal
plan? I always do my cardio before breakfast, 6
days a week, walking/jogging, bike, stepper, even aqua jogging.
diet goes like this...
Meal 1, oats mixed with protein powder and flax oil.
Meal 2, chicken rice veges.
Meal 3, chicken kumara veges.
Meal 4, protein shake made in rice milk with flax oil and a
banana.
Meal 5, steak potato veges.
Meal 6, fruit and a protein bar.
I take glutamine twice daily and drink Restore electrolyte drinks.
(total 3000 calories) This is what I am eating in the 3 months
leading up to Wellington champs oct 10. It might drop to 2500
cals closer to the date but never below this. I have a fast
metabolism!! I like having a beer with friends so this would
be my "cheat" meal, but not in the 2 months leading up.
In the off season I dont change my diet too much, I just
have a few more sweets chucked in here and there. |
