Over-Training
Apparently there is a such thing as over training. I have fallen into loving running so much, and the random looks i get from being completely drenched in sweat after 30 minutes on the treadmill that i was burning more muscle than i was putting on. I have been on XNickEdgeX’s ab routine for almost 2 weeks now, which calls for less running, and i have built muscle in my lower abs that i havent been able to get for the past 2 months of my routine. Its awesome. I’m still loving the day to day transformations i see in the mirror. Just the look I am going to get from my girlfriend when i get back home from iraq is a huge motivator.
also on top of the lower run time, i increased my lifting routine. I was doing the standard 10 reps X 3 sets. Now i am doing a little lighter weight but 15 reps X 4 sets. By that 14-15th rep, holy crap am i feeling the burn. When i leave i can just feel my arms, chest, whatever ready to explode. I highly reccommend it. Not only that I have started a better eating habit. The granola bar rigt when I wake up really boosts my metabolism, and then i try to keep it at small meals the rest of the day. Lost f juice, but mainly water, and I cheat with a coupl sodas here and there.
But all in all, im feeling better than i ever have, even tho ive ben in good shape most of the time, im just really hitting the tops. I can definately tell my stamina has shot through the roof since my running habits have increased. just a hair over 2 months left to really get my abs ripped before i go home.
