Meal After Cardio
Q: In response to 1529 Thanks Mike.2 last questions.
After the cardio should i eat a meal?I mean complete after it.
Also i have heard that one day a week i should eat full meals all day.This prevent the body for becoming weaker in lifting heavy weights like before cause it is supposed to be like this due to the carb reduction.Once i recude the calories i should be able to lift lighter weights than before,right?What do u think of this?
A: You're welcome! I recommend eating a meal before and after all training sessions. After cardio an appropriate meal would be mainly protein with some fat and light carbs (like veggies).
As far as your second question, it depends... Yes, you will get slightly weaker as you cut, but it should not be very significant and I would not advise dropping the weights -- instead you'll just reach failure or near-failure in fewer reps. If you lose a lot of weight in your cut (15+ pounds), then you may get significantly weaker as time goes on and really may have to drop the weights -- that's when it would be appropriate time to go on this mini-bulk of sorts and eat big meals for a week.
