Hey Im from Australia, n this is my 1st post, I have started your workout...just one question, I am in Australia and since the Cat shut down am having trouble finding or getting the AS here...Is it ok to train like this without it? Do i need to take more rest days or do less sets? or should i just keep it the same and keep the food intake up?? Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks
Those principles are for people on AAS or off. It doesn't matter. Like Big A said just cause someone is on AAS doesn't mean they should be changing their routine (days on). The Mon, Wed, Fri routine is a perfect balance imo. You have around 48 hrs break if you work out the same time each day then the full w/e off. The question is simply how you workout on the actual day. That is were many go wrong... thinking cos they are doing this new routine of less days (3) that they have to do more sets. Just follow what Big A says in regards to training and diet and you will be spot on. It depends on your weight and although 500g of protein is great even just reaching 300 is good for what most aim for.
Plus depending upon your aims you will want to do cardio. That may be 2-5 times per week depending upon goals. Like he says this is best on days off in the morning. For optimal fat burning do it first thing without eating... but drink water. Then you should have a protein shake just after. Then alittle later (30mins-1hr imo) have a good meal with protein and carbs.
I personally do abs more than once... usually on Tues, Thurs, Sat (days off). I keep my ab routines short but intense using 3 different methods for each day.
I personally when on a strong cycle would do an extra day. I will do Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri... ensuring about 24hrs between each workout on days together (mon/tues and thurs/fri). Like he says just look up exercise regimes online that use the 3 day method for different approaches. If you do what he says and stick to it you wil only grow.
Just make sure you have stability but flexibility in your routine. Such as having core movements and then others you swop about for each bodypart. Or simply swopping from incline to decline etc.
