[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2674851, member: 1535"] Today is my 1st totally 'off' day of my workout week. Yesterday was my split day- I killed it on the arms workout early morning but kind of pussed out when I did my leg workout late night. I love working arms but hate working legs but also never wanted to be that guy in shorts with the skinny legs and big arms so I do work them hard, it just sucks. I skipped going to the gym to do the leg machines so I just did extensions front and back side on my own bench using only 45lb plates. I still isolated my weak knee and still got in a decent workout, just didnt go as heavy at home as I would have at the gym. Will make up for it Friday morning when I work out on the heavy bag with martial arts and just going to do longer kick drills with the leg weights on. I will be protein loading today with just enough carbs for brain function. My mid week off day I try to eat as clean as I can. For breakfast I'm having my usual eggwhites and one yolk scrambled in real butter with shaved ham and turkey added at the end, a piece of buttered whole wheat toast, raw fruit; snacks today will be low sodium mixed nuts, a high protein smoothee (2 scoops whey protein powder, little bit of yogurt, 1/2 bag of frozen natural no sugar added berries, small amount almond milk) mid morning, a 2scoop protein shake in the afternoon and another late evening. Brain food snacks I eat fruit and or dried fruit (golden raisens, cherries, dried pineapple) and then maybe a Clif bar, depending on how stupid I feel. Lunch I'll go out for some fish and a salad, fruit; dinner Im grilling a medium sized steak and 2 chicken breasts- eat the steak at dinner with a big fresh veggie salad (broccoli, cucumber, tomato, gr onion, gr pepper, carrots, celery, sprouts, etc- luckily I like my veggies raw instead of cooked except for the starchy ones like potatoes and corn, beans and I save any lettuce eating for sandwiches and the salads with mostly greens only), a medium micro baked potato, fruit for dessert; late evening I'll eat those chicken breasts cold and shredded wrapped in a low carb tortilla with lettuce, tomato, onion and lite ranch dressing. This should feed me good today and help me recuperate from the split day yesterday plus eating a wide variety of protein foods helps keep me from getting tired of it all. The next 2 days will be 70% protein/30%carb days where I will only eat clean foods designed for function, no luxuries, and with my workouts being 1-2 hour heavy bag sessions I wont drink carb load drinks just distilled water so I can get the most out of the cardio.
