Fifth week of 6 weeks


Been a little lazy last week, suppose to do cardio but instead, eh.. I did. But I never jog at all; I swim.
Swimmed 5 days, and I'm getting lazier everyday.
Had good food yesterday, beyond the diet realm..
I'll post aobut it next time..
By the way, not in the mood of talking, or typing..
so I'll just get on with it..
====================================
Should be my favorite week... but it can get dangerous too..

STRATEGY 8: BE A CHEATER.
Now being a cheater doesn't mean you skip your workout sessions and all..
Eating foods that are way outside of the dieting realm, has gained a lot of attention in the fitness mainstream in recent years. One notion holds that eating whatever you want for an entire day each week keeps the metabolism humming. Sorry, folks, but it’s not that easy. Cramming down Rojak or Nachos with Cheese all day Sunday isn’t the best way to go.
Cheating definitely has its place any time you’re trying to get lean, but the type of cheating we’re referring to won’t wreck your momentum.
This week, on your first higher-carb day, have a burger, a couple of slices of pizza or a single slice of cake. In the grand scheme of things, the extra 500–700 calories won’t put a dent in your progress.
By this time you’ll have already peeled away 5–9 pounds of bodyfat and your metabolism will be working at a roadrunner’s pace.

next strategy, STRATEGY 9: VOLUMIZE YOUR TRAINING
Volume training, or using more sets than usual in your typical training regimen, can accelerate fat loss, especially if your body is already in a strong fat-burning mode.
It does this by putting additional stress on glycogen stores, depleting muscles of this valuable asset. When glycogen temporarily runs lower — as it would during a volume-training phase — fat-burning is given a healthy boost.
This week, simply add 50% more sets to your typical training plan. Doing 12 sets per bodypart? Go up to 18. You can add sets to your current exercises or tack an additional 1–2 exercises onto your plan.
Keep reps higher, in the 10–15 range. But make this just a one-week fix in your leaning-out cycle. Sticking to a greater-volume mind-set could eventually erode training intensity by lowering glycogen stores.
