Almost 6 full weeks of running 3x per week for the first time ever at age 47, and this morning was the first progressive workout (the 17th) where lower leg fatigue wasnโt the limiting factor. Tutto passa. Keep going.
As a full-scheduled fitness coach, one of the biggest challenges is protecting your energy, and what little free time you have, from those who feel constantly entitled to it.
The amount of people that regularly complain about poor sleep, but arenโt receptive to limiting blue light or putting together a supplement stack, perplexes me.
Online trainers that follow you on social media, message you asking if you need a coach, then unfollow you when you donโt, are the lowest form of invertebrate sea cucumberish bottom feeders in fitness. #marlboronj#personaltrainers#iftheshoefits
To my men lifting in the morning, not eating until lunch, and overdoing useless calories in the evening:
An appetite suppressant is the last thing you need. Try discipline instead.
If you are training to improve your body composition, or your physical strength, its beneficial to consume .75 to 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, and about 1.5 to 2 grams of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight, to adequately recover and to have the fuel required to make progress.
If it never feels โheavyโ itโs not strength training. If itโs not strength training, youโre probably getting tired, without getting stronger.
Gentlemen: If youโre not consuming at least 40g of protein and 60g of carbohydrates post strength training session, youโre leaving a lot on the table.
