Re: lift question and break question

[Guest guest]

Lee,

Since you are using glutamine, you may not get sore. It helps with

recovery. I use it three times a day. I lift very heavy. If I

didn't use glutamine, I'd have to have my daughters pull me in their

little red wagon at the football games.

Light headedness can be caused by many things. Are you exhaling on

the excentric part of the contraction? Are you holding your breath?

Are you taking your full minute between sets? Do you feel like you

need to " hurl, toss cookies, drive the porcelain bus " ? Do you lift

on an empty stomach?

Most people take a week off between challenges. That's a week off

from lifting, cardio, supps, etc. But it's not a time to eat

everything in site. It's a time for the body to recoup from

the " abuse " you've put it through for 12 weeks. It's also a time to

regroup and develop new goals and a new plan " of attack " .

Congrats on making it to week 8. Four more to go!

Lee,

Between my 1st and 2nd challenge I took off one week.

During that time I ran twice. The first was a moderate

jog for 20 minutes and I *hated* it. Well, I hate

running anyway but jogging at a level 6/7 made me go,

" Why am I even bothering? " The second time I went I

did my 20 minute BFL and felt great. But that was it.

No weights and no planning my meals. I'd say listen to

your body and give yourself a rest as far as workouts

go but try to stick to equal proteins and carbs with a

flew splurges occasionally.

Hey, I feel like this when I'm on my last set of calf raises. My calves are the strongest part of my body, but when I really push them I feel like I'm going to blow chunks. I quit yesterday in the middle of my last set because I didn't want a gym full of people see me vomit. Any idea what causes this and how to fix it? And, yes, I usually lift on an empty stomach. No food for 3 hours before.

Most of the time, it's the drop in glucose that causes the nausea.

Not much you can do about it except let it run it's course. You know

it's a good workout when you want to puke.

I laughed my butt off when I read that! Next time I vomit on someone's shoes I'll just tell them I had a good workout! By the way, I must have just had a good cardio workout because I feel the same way right now. Yeah for nausea!

Does anyone know if lifting on an empty stomach is effective for fat

loss? I don't think I would do a very good job lifting if I didn't

have a meal or two in me. I can get through my cardio fine without

eating and that is supposed to promote fat loss, but I didn't know it

was the same for lifting.

Well, I don't need to lose that much more fat so I think I will

continue eating before and right after my workouts. I feel I will

get more out of the muscle I gain by having the strength to lift than

any fat that I might lose.

I guarantee it, especially in the morning. That's half the point of BFL.

If you do afternoon/evening workouts you are missing the boat for fat loss.

It can still happen, but not as easily or quickly.

ROFL at the idea of you puking on someone's shoes and then politely

saying <insert British accent here>, " I *do* beg your pardon -

workout, you know. "

BTDT, mostly after a morning run for some reason - that must really

suck the glycogen stores dry (yippee!) because I *always* feel the

need to hurl after I run. Thank goodness I run at 5:30am on a track

by my house, so if I actually do vomit someday, at least no one will

see me! lol

Andy,

I lifted first thing in a.m. on an empty stomach for my first

challenge, then switched to evening weight workouts in the 2nd, 3rd

and current challenges. No difference here in fat loss, it has all

been slow. LOL... However, my weight workouts were much, *much*

better performed in the afternoon, heavier lifts, faster

improvements, etc.

I always do cardio first thing in a.m. on an empty stomch. IMO, the

cardio is the one that's important to do on an empty tummy.

I do the same as you now. Seems to be working for me too. I just

can't fit a morning weight workout in my schedule anyway. It's easy

to get the cardio in the morning since that only takes a little over

20 minutes.
