Pre-Plan Preparation

While our 5 month cycle doesn't start for a few more weeks, I want to go over a few concepts before we get started and talk about preparing your body and your schedule to execute a plan like this. It requires a lot of prep and planning. While there are plenty of huge guys out there who eat everything in sight and lift big and get big, there often just that, big. That is our goal but not our only goal, we want to be effective athletes and we want to be fit not just enormous. As a hard gainer just putting on a few extra pounds will greatly improve that image, and you wont have to worry about getting fat. During this cycle I wont be doing much cardio, cardio is the enemy of muscle gains because it eats away at your fuel and burns calories you need. However there is nothing wrong with running and biking before the plan starts. With a month before we kick off there is plenty of time for me to get my body fat content down and lean out a bit so when I gain its much cleaner and leaner. My running regime is simple, I run everyday, 2 miles on day A and 6.5 on day B. distance and interval running are how you burn your fat reserves. And its good to have a 2 mile jog to keep the body loose. Ill post a few tips about eating habits tomorrow at some point. Have a happy Friday y'all! weekends almost here!
