Hi ladies, I haven't been able to post for a few days...
I had a question about throwing in a week of circuit training next week during my week 3 instead of 'heavy' pyramid sets and really pushing the weight. I'm trying to do the cutting phase - I want to lose 15-20lbs of body fat, and I'm certainly noticing muscle growth already after only day one of week 2!! Very happy. However, nervous about getting big. I know I know!! It's probably silly. But, never the less, I wondered if I could 'shock' my body and throw in a week of circuiting and higher cardio, then go back. Or is it too soon by week 3?
CIRCUIT:
Day 1 - upper body circuit 30-45 min. some cardio
Day 2 - HIIT cardio - 30 min
Day 3 - lower body circuit/abs - 30-45 min. some cardio
Day 4 - HIIT cardio 30 min.
Day 5 - Upper body circuit 30-45 min. some cardio
Day 6 - lower body circuit/abs
Day 7 - off
Also...if you stay within the calorie range how bad is alcohol in your training. As in a couple glasses of wine a few times a week? Is it going to slow down the progress?
