Round 2 of Plyo today.
Day 9 and going strong. Added some recovery drinks for my post workouts and it alleviated most of my next-day muscle fatigue/pain. Not sure if that was a coincidence that I'm getting used to working out, or if it actually works, but I'll take it. Blended a scoop of BSN Syntha-6 Chocolate with about 5 ounces of nonfat milk and some ice cubes. Actually tasted like a chocolate milkshake. ![]() Obviously there are no real results yet, but I feel better day to day. More energy almost. |

I used P90x for a few months, and it helped me get into better shape, but the workouts weren't really for me, since they really focus more on endurance than intensity. As a result I've started doing customized workouts, and have been getting much better results. Though I still use Interval X from p90x+ for my cardio.

I may start doing this on phase 2, but for now I think it might be a bit overkill. |

While I didn't and am not following the food plan, I'm pretty sure that if you're following the plan to a tee, sugar should not be added. But again, I'm not really following the food plan.

Although I think Jordan's aversion to carbs is more a result of his diabetes. My wife is insulin-dependent Type 1 and she doesn't do the recovery drink either, just deals with the soreness. Too tough regulating her insulin levels with all the exercise anyway. ![]()

20 grams of carbs seems to do the trick. I haven't woken up in the middle of the night yet since doing the recovery drinks. And I feel better the next day. Win win, but you're right, by increasing it to 40 carbs, I would have to take insulin, and with the way the body reacts post workout, even with a small dosage, I'd still crash. It's a fine line between a good night sleep and waking up in a cold sweat with shaky hands. Not fun ![]() Also can anyone recommend a good daily vitamin? I got a nasty cramp in my side one workout after I sneezed. My entire diaphragm just locked up. I was in pain for about 10 minutes. I'm thinking that that might be a hint that I need more potassium, calcium.. etc. Last edited by JE3146; 01-30-2010 at 06:54 PM. |
