I’M STARTING TO UP MY CARDIO FROM 3  times TO 5 TIMES A WEEK MIXED WITH BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES. I LIKE TO DO 5 MINS OF INTENSE CARDIO THEN A BODYWEIGHT EXERCISE(plank and side plank) then round 2 of cadio and so forth, i try to do 8 sets of 5 min cardio with 8 sets of bodyweight exercises.

I LIKE TO FAST 2 OR 3 DAYS ONCE A MONTH. I FEEL THIS GIVES MY BODY A TOTAL REST AND IS A MAJOR REASON I’M NOT TAKING ANY MEDS.I’M GOING TO START ON SUN GO INTO DAY 2 ON MON AND TRY FOR WED TO END MY FAST! ON THUR IF THAT IS THE DAY I BREAK MY FAST, I ONLY EAT VEGGIES AND DO NOT EXERCISE ANY. ON FRIDAY I’LLSTART WITH WHEY PROTEIN AND VEGGIES AND ON SAT. I WILL INTRODUCE ANIMAL PROTEIN INTO MY DIET. I FEEL THIS SHORT FAST DOESN’T SCREW UP MY METABOLISM TO MUCH AND IT GETS BACK TO NORMAL ON FRIDAY WHEN I START 4 OR 5 MEALS A DAY. HELL THE GATORS PLAY BAMA’S CRIMSON TIDE AND I’M SURE AFTER THAT GAME I’LL NEED A TOTAL BODY REST…HAVE A GREAT WEEK…GREG

MONDAY WAS A BOOGER! I USED THE REST PAUSE(see blog for details) FOR MY UPPER BODY AND ABS WORKOUT. THIS W.O. IS INTENSE AND QUICK. I FEEL THAT THIS TYPE OF WORKOUT FLOODS THE BODY WITH NATURAL GH (GROWTH HOR.)BECAUSE I MAKE MY BIGGEST GAINS IN LEAN MUSCLE AND STRENGTH GAINS BUT HELL I’M SORE TODAY….SO IT REST DAY(HA-HA)…THAT IS I DO CARDIO AND BODY WEIGHT EXERCISES. THAT IS I START WITH 3 SETS OF DECLINE PUSHUPS THEN 3 SETS OF DECLINE SITUPS WITH 50 LBS. FOLLOWED BY LEGLIFT IN A DOUBLE CRUNCH POSITION USING HAND GRIPS.THAT IS I LIFT MY LEGS FOR A COUNT OF TEN THEN V THEN FOR ANOTHER COUNT OF 10 WHILE USING HAND GRIPS THIS IS ONE SET DO 6 SETS with no rest. LAST I DO PLANK WHICH I HOLD FOR 75 SECS WITH HAND GRIPS,REST 15 SECS THEN GO INTO RIGHT SIDE PLANK WITH HAND GRIP IN LEFT HAND…HOLD FOR 75 SECS,REST 15 SECS THEN LEFT SIDE PLANK WITH HAND GRIP FOR 75SECS REST 15 SECS..THIS IS ONE SET DO 3 SETS…NOW I’M READY FOR CARDIO WITH  LIGHT DB’S(15LBS),THAT IS I GET ON A STAT BIKE WITH DB’S FOR 30 MINS. I LIKE TO RIDE ONE MILE USING THE DB’S IN SOME FORM OF EXER(OVERHEAD PRESS,CURLS,ETC) THEN THE NEXT MILE HAUL ASS ON MY STAT BIKE FOR  ONE MILE…I KEEP THIS UP FOR 30 VERY HARD MINS
