Tired
I have tried eating less breads and pasta and more fruits and veggies. I have gone back down to the bodyfat % that I was at competition time but am up to about 115 pounds. I started back to the gym Thursday to do legs and shoulders. I am still sore from that workout and can barely walk. I did back and bis yesterday and they are both sore too! I cant wait to put on some muscle! Any suggestions for drug free figure competitior to put on some muscle?

Yes, here’s a brief list that I use to help reduce fatigue and soreness. Maybe you are missing some of these tips in your regimen:
-take glutamine between meals with water
-eat MORE protein split throughout the day
-keep your cardio to a minimum (or just reduce the number of days you do cardio)
-add a rest day or two per week
-sleep 10 hours on a day off
-take a 2:1:1 pre-mixed powder of leucine:isoleucine:valine (amino acids to help muscle repair) BEFORE workout with water (if trying to get cut) or gatorade
-stretch (helps with bloodflow to muscles, and therefore muscle repair)
-take a pre-workout NO supplement (increase bloodflow to muscles)
Any more help I can offer? I am a NASM cert personal trainer, so I’d be more than happy to help.
