Day 217: Hybrid Cardio For Muscle Gain

G'day,

Only 13 days to go! The intensity of my training workouts is getting back to my M2 training sessions as the clock ticks down to Day 230.

Today I did Hybrid Cardio which consisted of boxing and skipping. While too much cardio can be detrimental for muscle growth it is still important for general health and keeping your bodyfat under control.

I will be limiting my cardio sessions to twice per week during M3, which I believe is the optimal amount to balance bodyfat control with my muscle gain goals.

If you are not familiar with my Hybrid Cardio training system here is my Day 105 blog post below. This post was during the midst of my M2 "pre-shred phase".

Day 217 Training: Hybrid Cardio Flashback

My system combines two forms of cardio in one session, one at maximal intensity (Tier 1intensity) and the other at sub-maximal intensity (Tier 2 intensity). The major benefit of Hybrid Cardio is that it allows a quick high intensity workout while preventing adaption which is body's number one enemy when it comes to transforming your physique.

Hybrid Cardio also gives you variety with your cardio sessions so you never get bored. For example, today I did skipping (Tier 1) and boxing (Tier 2) and felt the 'buzz' kick in after only 5 minutes.

This 'buzz' is the chemical reaction of endorphins flooding you brain and bloodstream.

It does not get any better than this!

This is THE ONLY way to train, hard, heavy and intense.

Until tomorrow...

Eat Clean,
Shred Hard,
Think Big!

Peace,
AJ
