Breakfast suggestions: - Oatmeal (1/2 - 1 cup dry). Add with water. Microwave. Add one scoop of whey. - Omelets. Use 1/2 carton of egg substitue. Available from Costco. Mix in veggies. Cook with light oil or cooking spray (nonstick pan preferred). Spinach and tomatoes highly recommended (they are delicious). Salsa on the side is ok. - 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese + piece of fruit Lunch suggestions: - 2 chicken breasts + big container of raw veggies - 1-2 cans of chicken + big container of raw veggies - 1/2 lb super lean pork loin (like 3 medallions?)+ big container of raw veggies - 2 cans of tuna + big container of raw veggies - 1 chicken breast + 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese + container of raw veggies Dinner suggestions: - Chicken fajita stuff. 2-3 chicken breasts. Whatever veggies sound awesome. (Onion, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, tomatoes, etc). Season to taste. 1 can black or pinto beans as a side. No tortillas. Serves 2. - Salmon fillet.

I thought I knew what a plank is, but I am confused by the second part of this statement: "40 second plank. Belly button to spine." Please explain. Also, what is the "push" section? Is that day 5, or something else? |

You know what a plank is. I'm basically telling you to engage your abs and suck them in as much as possible. I want to prevent the whole "distended abs" look that a lot of lifters get. I want you to be lean, mean, and aesthetically awesome. Your first week has been tailored as a semi-newbie section. After that, I'm putting you on a standard, balls-out lifting program. You're gonna be sore.

Followup: The push/pull/legs sections are the actual split I'm setting up for you. |

Can I switch the order to M- Push W- Legs F - Pull ???? that way I get more rest between upper body, and my legs are not as rocked if I want to go for a saturday run/hike (or any other activity that covers long distances on foot). |

Explanation. We're going to start what's called a "split". The purpose is to split your whole body into several different muscle groups. You then train only one muscle group per visit to the gym, and rotate accordingly. The benefit here is twofold: 1. You can focus your time and energy and REALLY hammer the crap out of your muscles. 2. You give those muscles adequate time between exercises to better recover. You are going to be on a 3-day split. That is, I'm splitting your body into three major muscle groups. These groups are your pushing muscles, your pulling muscles, and your legs. The order in which you do them is unimportant. Push/Pull/Legs, Push/Legs/Pull/, Legs/Pull/Push. After all, your calves/biceps/whatever don't know the difference between a Thursday and a Sunday. The only important part is that you give your muscles a rest between use. In this case, you'll be giving them a full week before pounding the snot out of them again. Again, as before, I want you to do cardio on your "off days". One rest day per week. Also, we're approaching your "cheat day". That's coming 2 weeks into the program.
