Rather than changing the plan around, let's try and make you LESS fatigued. By the way, being sore to the point of exhaustion is actually a GOOD thing when it comes to lifting. It generally means you have caused sufficient trauma to the muscles in the form of microtears. These areas then have to repair themselves and thus will grow larger and stronger in the process. You should EMBRACE the pain - I assure you that soreness is pure godliness in terms of psychologically assisted gains.
Anyway - for a bit of recovery help I need to know your diet/supplement routine as well as your daily water intake. I'm assuming you are also getting 8+ hours of sleep?
Get back to me and I'll get something worked out for you.
- I get 7-9 hours of sleep
- I take 369 omegas(4x per day) and orange triad multi( 6x per day), and lately been taking ALOT of ibuprofen lol-
- I drink at LEAST 1.5-2 gallons H2o a day, i take a gallon of water to work everyday and its gone by time i come home.
This was my exact diet today....
Meal 1: 6eggs, 2 pieces WW toast w/ Peanut butter, 3 pieces turkey bacon, glass of OJ( 2 Fishoils, 3 Orange Tirad)
Pre workout- 2 Gat Jet Fuel
Meal 2(PWO): 1.5 Scoops Whey w/ 1 Banana, 5g glutamine
Meal 3: 2 Cups Whole wheat pasta, 1 large chicken breast w/ EVOO, 1orange.
Meal 4: 2 Cups Whole wheat pasta, 1 large chicken breast w/ EVOO( 2 Fishoils, 3 Orange Triad)
Meal 5: Protein shake w/ 1% milk, 1 orange
Meal 6: 1 scoop casein, 1 cup milk, lil peanut butter, 1/2 scoop whey, 2.5g glutamine, 1 egg> blender
Basically the same thing every day , cept meal 5 is usually a MEAL(not a protein shake) , i just did not have time to prepare a 3rd meal today for work.
1. I know for a FACT i dont eat enough VEGGIES(as you can see theres none in what i ate today haha),....thats probably .... bad?
2. Im constantly hitting new PRS, and my body weight is gone up a little( thats what i want) I am literally so fucking sore all the time( its not a bad sore), like you said i guess its good, .. i always push through it but its affecting my other workouts.
3. Example> Chest day: lately ive just been doing Flat Bench press( very heavy work sets), Incline DB Press( very heavy), and incline DB FLies( moderate)... and thats it.... and even 2-3days later my chest is so damn sore that its hard to go 100% on shoulders/ back etc.
4. When is the best time to throw in POWER CLEANS?
5.When training for STRENGHT should i NOT be doing any BURNOUT at the end of my lifts? sometimes ill finish off with pushups or pullups or light squats etc to COMplete failure
