I believe so.

no, your body adjusts to it like anything... it takes a few weeks but on a high protein diet your body can make enough glucose to maintain your blood glucose between meals. I don't get hungry hardly anymore at all... even when dieting and even if i go 5 hours between meals.

and yes my meals are larger

how many meals do you have per day? if you space it out 3.5 - 5 hours there is only so many meals you can fit into those 16 hours your awake..

5-6. i have one during the middle of the night when i get up to pee (usually a shake or a protein bar)

Layne I was wondering just your opionion on it, im gonna try it anyway but just wanted to hear your thoughts, on this
Day 1 : Shoulders/tricep/bicep Light weights
Day 2 : Legs/back/Chest/Calfs Lights weights
Day 3 : Rest
Day 4: Shoulders/Traps/calfs
Day 5 : Back/bicep
Day 6 : Rest
Day 7: Tricep/chest
Day 8: Legs
Day 9 : Rest,

My reason is that when ive worked chest twice a week ive seen much faster improvments so by activating all the muscles on 2 Light half body workouts at the start of the week all the muscles will get more activated..

And ans I said the first 2 half vody workouts will be light weight to minimize the risk of overtraining... what do you think? =)

i think that's ok to start with but as you get into it you might go heavier on the light days as you'll find that overtraining really isn't an issue when you give your body time to adapt

typically not a big fan. I actually was asked the same questions as him by Jamie Hale. I'm suprised he posted it in his blog... it was supposed to go in Jamie's book.

[muscleman12345]

monday - upper (power)
tuesday - lower
wednesday - off
thursday - chest
friday - back
saturday - shoulders/arms
sunday - off

like this?

[str8flexed]

I have a question for ya layne and sorry if it's been asked before but what do you think of max-ot cardio? 16 minutes overall a session, 1 minute intervals going all out for 1 minute and easing up for a minute always working to beat your previous time? It's very intense.

also post cardio nutrition, should you eat right after completing cardio? I always think that eating right after cardio might be cutting into an residual fat burning that might be taking place after a cardio session-sorry, I guess that's 2 questions.

[str8flexed]

intervals are good, but you can't go 'all out' for one minute. You will pace yourself with that long. You are better off sprinting for 10-15 secs then resting for 45-50 secs then doing it again. A sprint by definition is ABSOLUTELY ALL OUT EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT and you can't do that for 1 minute

eat after cardio.
