Good work al i think 2x per day cardio esp since ur doing 60mins fasted and pwo is excessive dude those intervals wear u down for sure! U mite do well to reduce ur cardio a bit.. No sense in burning out or overtraining.. U really dont wanna lose more than 2lbs per week..

In the middle of redoing my routine. I skipped AM cardio today out of laziness. Funny how fast you can get used to doing nothing. Figured better to not push it this week anyway since I had run myself down last week. Need to get in the gym tonight though I do not want to make this new laziness a habit.

Hey al how many carbs in those steel cut oats? 74g seems a lot for 1/2 cup(meal 1) even with jam.. But i havent used steel cut before??
-

The oats have 29g per 1/4 cup dry x 2 = 58G
My calculator app where I put in what I eat adds 8g for the preserves and 8g for the egg whites giving total of 74g. The preserves is probably right but not sure if there are any carbs in egg whites.

Mate, some folk respond better to cardio than others. The best way for me, that still enabled me to be not knackered and get stronger was :
3 HIIT session pew week, normally post lifting. 20 mins max and maybe with up to 20 mins LIC immediately following.
1 LIC fasted per week.
I wouldnt do cardio of any type on leg day and I wouldn't do HIIT the day before.

Day 68 Cals/Macros
Cals 2225/P266/C158/F57
Fat was a bit high cause I ate a few turkey burgers to substitute the chicken breast. I've had them in the freezer for a couple months and I wanted to start burning through them. Besides that pretty much as planned.

A couple of days off and a refeed can do wonders. Rest is vital and, I know some people scoff at the idea of a refeed but, that is part of the reason I have a cheat meal EVERY WEEK!
Definitely listen to your body, even these young whipper snappers like JohnnyB struggle and he's half our age!NO SOURCES GIVEN

Day 70 PM
I had planned to do a PM cardio session but again i am wiped out. Perhaps 2 days was not enough rest to recover from the overtraining. Might have to take a week off which sucks since I am going on vacation in 2 weeks. Will try to just cut out all cardio for a week and see how that goes...

Your cardio is hardcore dude, i wasn't even getting in half the cardio sessions you're putting in and was told my cardio was a tad overkill.
I go balls to the wall on my lifting sessions and barley have any energy after them. Sounds like you're pooped more often then you would want to be. Low energy and having to drag myself to workout is the worst feeling ever, don't kill yourself al!
You're making tremendous progress so far, keep it up.

I tell you, I'm the type of guy that would say overtraining is BS and just an excuse to be lazy. If I was not feeling it first hand. Will try to get my weight training in for next 2 weeks and then take full 2 weeks off on vacation.
As always thanks for checking in.
Thanks JB. Feel like a jackass for doing so much and killing myself. Just hope I can hold on to as much of the work I did in the 8 weeks prior to this misstep.
Thanks for checking in.

Day 71 Thursday
Well as planned I skipped cardio this morning. Felt lethargic all day at work and thought I would not make it in for my back workout. Started feeling better around 4:30PM and when I got home just did my usual routine and in to gym by 5:45PM
10 mins warmup on elliptical (Felt real good)
Back workout
4 sets Seated plate loaded rows
5 sets lat pulldown superset bent over pullovers
4 sets seated cable rows
Felt real good but skipped cardio PWO.
Looks like the week may be salvaged getting all my weight workouts in plus a few cardio sessions. Still take off Sat-Sun and ease in to cardio next week.

Day 72 Friday
"worked" from home today so I slipped to the gym at 1PM
Got in a fantastic delt/trap/tri workout
4 sets smith barbell shoulder press
4 sets upright row
6 sets reverse fly
4 sets shrugs
4 sets skull crushers superset close grip press
3 sets cable pushdown
3 sets cable kick backs
although feeling good and tempted to do PWO cardio figured I'd give it a rest and save it for next week.
Will take off sat-sun and hopefully be in full recovery come Monday.
Now off to some birthday vitamin B administered via the one hand curl...

happy bday! and I say "eat cake"!
I love cardio. I mean love spinning. I noticed that you do elliptical among others. I hate ellipticals. Feet would get numb and I left the machine cuz the cardio wasn't the best cardio after I started spinning. And I haven't been back to them ellipticals since
BTW, I just cut one day out of my workout schedule and I feel stronger with 5 vs 6. Rest is very very important!!!!

Hey al u had a bday and i didnt know.. Happy late bday! Also my feet often tingle and get numb on elliptical.. Towards the end of each session.. What i do is lift each foot up off the pedal starting from the bottom of each pedal stroke just for a split second and i do this for maybe 30secs and the tingling/numbness will subside.. Sometimes i have to do this a few times per workout
