The Regimen

I’ve been stumped over what to do an entry on ... I figure I might as well let people in on my training regimen (well, where it is, at the moment) ...

TRAINING (Monday-Saturday):
first thing in the morning:
-100 curls, 100 presses, 100 push-ups ... how’s that for a 300 workout?
the official daily workout: (mid-day or early evening)
-30 minutes treadmill (alternating between jogging and sprints)
-15 reps bench press
-100 sit-ups
-20 reps, 4 sets each, of: presses, lateral raises, curls (with long curl bar) and curls (with dumbbells)
-after each set of dumbbell curls, a set of 25 push-ups
-Fridays and Saturdays, I add four sets each of 2 Total Gym exercises

Of course, the most important thing of any regimen is the diet ... I’m not “dieting” by any means, I love food too much ... but I have been watching what I eat ... people say no rice during training ... I say, “F*CK THAT!”, I’m Pinoy ... lastly, I do take my “cheat day” every week, I usually pick one weekend day, because I’m not home ...

NUTRITION:
-every morning, 2 hard-boiled eggs and a small bowl of oatmeal
-OK, time to plug a few food products ...
-I drink water on the regular, probably 1-2 glasses on the hour
-snacks have been limited to: Quaker Crispy Minis, Quaker Chewy Bars and Yogurt
-for lunch and dinner it varies, but if it includes rice, then the portion is a “fist” size
-sometimes, I have a sub from Subway, my usual order is a 6-inch chicken breast sub, toasted on whole wheat, loaded with all the veggies and topped with chipotle sauce
-another thing that I’ve been buying lately is Booster Juice ... best smoothies I’ve had by far ... I usually get the “Sonic Soy”
-before every workout, I drink a half-bottle of Gatorade or Vitamin Water ... I find that it keeps me hydrated longer on the treadmill, as opposed to water which has me feeling thirsty halfway through my cardio
-finally, after workouts, I down a protein shake

Well there you have it, where my training regimen stands at the moment ... as I’ve said on previous entries, I increase the intensity each week ... I do that by adding more reps, increasing the weight and increasing my time on sprints ...

I plan on training hard until the end of September ... at that point I’ll probably taper down to 3-4 workouts a week, but I will be working out regularly from here on out, there won’t be any hibernation this coming winter, it’s gonna be a year-round thing ... I’m really hoping that my conditioning pays off when I play basketball and golf this summer ... I fear the D-Mac that dares to challenge J-Smooth, LOL ...

Peace!
