YOU CANT CHEAT THE GRIND.
IT KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU INVESTED.
IT WONT GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU HAVENT WORKED FOR.
Iāve been training in accordance to my cycle.
Iāve really enjoyed the mental toughness of going super hard for almost two weeks, then getting to slow down and focus on lifts, and ending with a deload.
Days 1-12: 4 days on-1 day off, increased volume, maybe 2-a-days, lifting, cardio, metcons, extra protein and carbs, lower fat
Days 13-21: 2 rest days a week (dog walks/stretch only), moderate volume, only one workout a day, lifting, cardio, moderate protein, moderate carbs, increasing fat
Days 22-30: 3 workouts, low volume, more sleep, daily hour walks, lifting accessory workouts, high protein, high fat, lower carb
WORKOUT ON YOUR PERIOD?!
Yep! The time when your body might say ālay in bedā at the beginning of the month, is actually the best time to exercise. Your body can handle more volume, you have the ability to gain more strength, and your sleep/recovery ratio is easier to manage.
BENEFITS IVE FOUND IN TRAINING AROUND MY CYCLE: sleeping through the night, decreased PMS, decreased cravings, more consistent gains, increased life balance, increased motivation for the gym at the start of each cycle, puppy cuddles.
