So I JUST finished plyo and I'm sipping on my recovery drink.
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS HARD, but I ROCKED it. Cardio (and jumping--woo former varsity volleyball!) is my forte, so I actually got through it all without a problem. I love the way you feel after cardio! None of this lactic acid torn muscle burning that everyone seems to dig.
However, I KNOW I'll be feeling a burn in my upper legs and quads after all those jumps and squats!
So 1 plyo down... next up: Shoulder & Arms, AB Ripper X. Let's hope my muscles can recover at least a LITTLE before then!
today's menu:
breakfast: 3/4 c eggbeaters, 1 cup cantaloupe
snack 1: 1 cup cottage cheese
lunch: 6 oz baked chicken, 1 cup raw carrots, 1 string cheese
snack 2: protein bar an hour before the workout, recovery drink right after
dinner: 3 oz ham, 1/3 cup whey, 1 cup whole wheat couscous, 1 cup cooked green beans
after rehearsal: 1 cup skim milk

Yeah man. I have my own plyo to deal with tonight :( I'm so sore from all of my deadlifts yesterday. I feel your pain brother. However- I just wanted to say that Lyle McDonald was right. He said that women going on weight lifting routine plans, or body builders or fitness models, tend not to see results like men do. He said there's a "whoosh" effect, generally 4-8 weeks into your training program, and after that initial "whoosh", you have to wait another insane amount of time before you get another "whoosh", or, showing of results all at once.
ReplyDeleteWell, I got my first whoosh. It happens to be a bad time of month to see results, if you know what I mean, but last night, I was changing into my pajamas, and I saw myself in the mirror in the closet- woah! I'm like a different person! Wait till you see me, Matt, and that will be an even better measure of success.
Anyway, my menu today is identical to yesterdays, except I'm working out at night, after work. I might eat a fraction more carbs >.> oh noes!
NOT CARBS! YOU'LL NEVER BE LEAN!!
ReplyDeletej/k. Enjoy em :D

I can't move my arms, legs, or bend my torso Perfect time for shoulders, arms, and abs today, huh?
