Keep getting stronger without getting weaker during the 5th week

by Jeff Gordon Parker on March 30, 2010

It’s only been 5 weeks!

Its natural for your body to break down… Its like a roller coaster moving up… Or like a upward moving stock market…

Its imposible too just keep getting stronger without getting weaker…

Just like its impossible for the stock market to keep going up without having a pullback from the daily, weekly, monthly highs…

Nothings wrong with you… Your just pushing yourself to the edge and thats exactly what you should be doing! :)

You can see good strength gain after 1 week, even 3 weeks, but after four weeks, your body is going to test you… It is going to be a bit weaker and you need to keep on pushing through it like the Little Engine That Could…

It might take a full month for you to bounce on the way up again, but thats why its a 90 day program and not a 5 week program…

Keep it up and you will get there… Just as long as your pushing yourself…

This “down time” your body is going through will be temporary… And the harder you work yourself now, they higher you will “bounce” into a better fit you… I’ve seen it time and time again… Plus gone through it myself plenty of times… Its all peek and valleys..

One more thing… It matters what time you actually eat your meals…

Don’t eat within 2 hours of a really intense workout…
I’m talking your sweating your A$% off workout!

When you have food in your stomach, all the blood rushes to your stomach to digest your food as opposed to your muscles and lungs where you need them to perform at your best!

Not even and especially a protein shake… Protein shakes are meant for after your workout..

Find a way to eat right before the 2 hour mark…

You should be working out hungry… Unless its yoga/flexibility day… Then on the “rest” days, you can have that protein shake before the workout…

But if your doing Kempo! You need your body prepared…

I hope that helps…

Committed to your fitness success,
