i was told to try jack3d for pre work out and oxyliete for body fat burning
ok...the Jack3d and oxy is good stuff... I actually take that now along with test booster.
It's also really about your dieting. The jack3d and test booster REALLY makes you a lot stronger and doesn't allow the body to fatigue so it makes you push and push. You'll quickly feel you can push so much more weight and you will.
Everymorning when you wake up, take AMP. one scoop and of it and mix it with either no fat milk with about 12oz worth and or water. its up to you. Unless you choose fruit punch..use cold water.
Amp is protein from GNC and comes in a black package or bottle.
Every body needs at least 30grams of protein when you wake up. Your body is in a catabolic state and is starving. When you take that protein, it feeds your muscles but also kick starts your metabolism almost instantly. drink some water as well. Cold if you can. Cold water will make your body raise your metabolism even more because it needs energy to heat that water to your body's temperature.
i get up at 530 am... so i take the oxy and test booster when i get up. After my shower, take my protein shake. i head to work and around 8 am, i eat some oatmeal or something healthy like scrambled eggs or even hard boiled eggs.
Around 10 am i eat half of my lunch that the wife makes me which is usually ham or turkey sammiches. I usually eat one and some Peanut butter crackers. Around 11ish or so i take the 2nd oxy pill with the test booster and drink it down with about 5 oz of jack3d. in about 15-20 min, dood i'm ready to pump and when i do, i push hard!
I come back after about an hour and drink two scoops of the amp protein shake and then im usually full. but i try to eat the 2nd half of my lunch. mon-wed-fri, i go run a couple miles around 3 pm at work so after that, if i haven't eaten the 2nd half of my lunch, i'll eat it on the way home which is around 430. then have dinner and take the 3rd test booster pill.
Remember, too much protein will make you gain bad weight IF you're not working out like your supposed to or doing cardio like your supposed to. It's there to fuel your muscles and if you're not utilizing them properly, they'll just store as fat. Working out/ lifting weights actually increases your metabolism really well. So in theory, its best to do cardio after you work out...
why?
Because lets say you jump on the treadmill and jog or set the incline to like 15 and speed walk at the pace of number 4. For the first 20-30 min, your body is JUST STARTING to get warmed up. So if you're only doing 45 min of cardio, you're technically getting only 15-25 min of real cardio burning fat time. that's even IF you're heart rate is high enough.
But if you work out first, which usually takes some time, and your raising your metabolism, by the time you jump on the treadmill, elliptical or what have you, you only have to do around 20-30 min of cardio time because you're burning the fat immediately.
programs like insanity work so well because you're kicking your body's metabolism into overdrive and leaving it there even while you sleep. Doing straight cardio at the same pace for a long period of time used to be the thought process of burning fat. and it's technically true. but it takes a long time to accomplish every day...who has time for all that everyday? Not me said the kimchi...
so you do what. you can either do interval training like run at a slow pace for 10 min...run fast for a min...slow down for 2 mins, fast for 1 min, and repeat a few times...
OR...you can start your cardio FAST and do it fast and have short breaks and do that for 30 min or so. That alone will net you the cardio needed, burns the calories and fat and makes your metabolism stay up throughout the rest of the day.
Realize this. Eating smaller meals more times a day doesn't raise the metabolism. it maintains it. there is no real proof that eating smaller meals multiple times a day raises metabolism. Its the calorie intake. For example.
If you eat ONE meal that has 2000 calories, and you're only supposed to ingest 2000 calories a day....well guess what. if your meal already had the max amount of calories you're supposed to intake in the day, and you eat another meal, you just went over your bodies caloric intake thus making you gain weight. So what you do is break down meals throughout the day with smaller amounts of calories in order to keep yourself not hungry, while not going over your limit...
I mean who can eat one meal and not get hungry for the rest of the day...that's nuts...i know i can't do that.. My ass likes to eat too much!
So as you can see, it's not completely about cardio or lifting...it has a lot to do with the foods you eat, when you eat and how much you eat. more so, the calories in WHAT you eat.
Don't eat so little that you're not getting enough calories because all that's going to do is make your body drop the metabolism because it's realizing your starting to starve your body and then it won't wanna let go of the fat and start to eat away your muscle.
If you want a great work out routine, google DOUGS 4 DAY A WEEK WORKOUT. It's on bodybuilding.com i think, but googling will take you there quicker.
Try that routine, make sure you take the protein you need especially after the workout's no later than 30 min upon finishing your workouts. And eat proper. that will ensure you to get leaner, not lose muscle mass, yet also gain Lean muscle.
Hope that helps!
