Day 425 Video: Why Eating 100% Clean Can Backfire On You

G'day Shredders,

In this video I discuss why I'll be shredding twice daily for 8 days in each 12-Day training cycle over the next 75 days. I also reveal why eating totally "clean" for an extended period of time (eg 24 days straight) can backfire on you, as it has done to me.

My "dark side" of 100% clean eating experience (for an extended period of time) may help you avoid going into "berserks mode"when you finish your current shred mission.



Cheers,
AJ

Day 427: My Florida Vision Requires "Back To Basics" HIIT

G'day Shredders,

Thank you very much for your kind comments on yesterday's news. I am very grateful, and also very motivated to ramp-up this shred mission so I can be in top shape by late February (when I will go to Florida for the Live Conference).

P.S. There is so much action on the ShredderSphere right now that I'm currently working on a Special Video Edition of Shredder Breaking News that I'll upload tomorrow.

P.S.S. Sorry about your blog link Lilla! It is now fixed.

Day 16 of 84

Nutrition: I learned my lesson from yesterday and made sure I was prepared for my 10:30AM meal today. I got in every meal as scheduled and feeling confident about my meal plan.

Training: In order to make my "Florida Vision" a reality I decided to go back to basics today and pump out a "fair dinkum" HIIT cardio session over a 20 minute BFL format. This is an old favorite of mine that always gets results when I do it faithfully. It is also extremely taxing so I usually limit these "pure" HIIT sessions to 3 times a week.

I backed up this HIIT session with abdominal training by doing 3 sets each of Incline Crunches, Hanging Knee Raises and Machine Obliques. There is a lot of debate among fitness experts as to how often abs should be trained. The opinions run the full spectrum of only 3 times per week up to daily.

I personally believe that abs should be treated the same as any other bodypart. This means you should allow for 48 hours rest (minimum) before training the same bodypart again. If you train your abs with high intensity you will feel DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) set in like you would with any other bodypart.
