I am confused. Are you bulking or cutting.

[spywizard]

i'd drop the brown rice later in the day

and i'd take 6k fish oil taken throughout the day rather than all at once at bedtime

Ok fine. Which one do you want more?

[sweetz]

cut the fat...

[STRONGMAN91]

when you say 3500 at the end of the day, do you literally mean at the end of the day or in one day??? little confused

Macros look good. Cals might be little bit high. If you cut the last serving of brown rice it would be better. In cutting I would restrict carbs to after cardio, pre work out and post work out. I would get rid of milk in the first meal because of the sugar in milk. You could do cottage cheese before bed instead of casein shake, real food is better.

Nice diet! This looks very similar to a diet I have planned about a month out.

3500 in one whole day

I agree get rid of the milk in the first meal but I would stick with the casein shake before bed. Yes cottage cheese is real food and a better form of casein but diary will contribute to water retention. So for a cut my choice would be the casein shake before bef with some EFA's.

instead of thinking of it like this... think of it as you want to lose fat and maintain your strength and size. if you can do that you will be gaining muscle and losing fat. they can be done at the same time, but just not in large quantities. personally a key for me, is sprinting. always helps me retain size and nukes my midsection.

What does your sprinting rountine look like? Sprint for a minute, jog for a minute, etc., and at what duration?

i have a few different approaches.

one is called guerrilla/killer cardio.

for 1-4 minutes (depending on your fitness) you jog at about 50% of your max speed.

then continually for 4 minutes you sprint for 20 seconds, and rest for 10, continually.

then again 1-4 minutes (depending on whether you can walk or not ) you will walk quickly or jog and be done.

total time frame is 12 minutes...of fat burning hell.



another approach would be to measure out distances (i go to the track and do the 100m) and then i sprint it, then walk back at a slower pace and when i get the the beginning i spring it again, do it about 10 times and you're all set there.

remember too that sprinting should be treated kind of like a workout. eat about an hour before, and soon after... and i go pro/fat after, because fat burning will still be occurring for a short amount of time after sprinting.

looks like some kick ass routines! Would you recommend either of these routines post workout or should these be done on off days?

[novastepp]

i always sprint on off days, and i would never sprint PWO.
