non-lift days
quick question for u bros...
i noticed for me that if i ever break down on my diet, its on the few days that i do not lift, because i cycle my carbs, and i want to prevent that. i'm gonna make a quick outline below, and tell me if you think this sounds alright!
my workouts
1 hour am cardio 7 days week
mon-weds no lift
thurs chest tri back
fri legs
sat shoulders, neck traps
sun back biceps
now normally i never have a carb breakfast, only pwo and ppwo, but its killing me on the non lift days though, cause my pwo shake is gone. would it be alright on mon-weds(no lift) if i made these changes
am cardio
meal 1:carb/pro------normally pro/fat
meal 2ro/fat
meal 3ro/fat
--------------------normally where pwo is
meal 4:carb/pro
meal 5ro/fat
does this look alright if the macros were in check? i knwo hwo much food i need calorie wise, etc., but just want some input if the bros here think the extra carbs in the morning would be beneficial? i think the would help keep me on track, and smash all the cravings for fried dough and pancakes i been havin lately!

I wouldn't be training 4 consecutive days in a row in the first place. That combined w/cardio everyday is going to eventually catch up to you in a negative manner.

i plan on changing that anyway, but my real concern was the diet question i posted. my new lifting routine starts in 3 weeks and is going to be:
Sun chest tri abs
mon just cardio
tues legs
weds just cardio
thurs shoulders traps neck
fri just cardio
saturday back biceps
but my question is stillt he same. on non-lifting days would the carbohydrate change be beneficial, or would it slow cutting progress too much?

Try both methods, that's the only way you can tell how you respond. I find I can have carbs in meal 1 while cutting, but I also have learned what else I have to do in order to include them.
I understood your question no problem, I was just pointing out what WOULD slow the cutting process in your plan of attack, much more-so than the decision you are facing. That being over-training and CNS damage.
Why wait 3 weeks?

dont train 4 days in a row? i thought the majority trains 1 body part per week and usually m-f w/ cardio in the mornings? everyday it seems like i dont know m,y as* from my elbow with BB.

bump. i'd like to know your reasoning on the cns damage SC. Nobody else has mentioned this to me. If the 4 days in a row is too much, would you personally think the new routine i'm starting is an improvement, or no? just want your .02
