Don't let the smiling faces fool you!

you below so you can see day by day what you're getting yourself into.
and may I say even "easy"? Don't let the smiling faces fool you!
Day 1: Cheat Day: Density Training - Each cycle
begins with a
Cheat Day to boost leptin and fat burning hormones to
ensure the
body is extremely primed for fat loss over the course of that
cycle.
A bodybuilding style Density workout is performed on this day
to
capitalize on the high calorie intake, protecting lean mass during
the
diet and potentially even allowing for gains in lean body mass over
the course of the 25-day program (just ask Vince Del Monte)
Fast Day: Lactic Acid Training - After a Cheat Day,
the body is
extremely primed to burn fat. On this day, we create a
massive caloric
deficit through strategic fasting as well as
metabolically expensive lactic
acid training. Packed out glycogen and
intracellular triglyceride stores
from the prior dayâ€(TM)s Cheat Day easily
fuel the workout (along with
strategic BCAA supplementation)
Shake Day: Strength Training - The shake day is
another low
calorie day in which all the day's nutrition comes via
nutrition shakes.
The "shake only" nature of the day helps to increase
adherence
dramatically by keeping the diet focused on one thing.
Strength
training is done on this day to maintain strength levels,
promote lean
body mass maintenance, and to allow recovery from the
higher volume
workouts performed previously.
Moderate-carb Day: Dynamic Training - This day is a
more "typical"
diet day consisting of a 40/30/30 macro breakdown and
more carbs/calories
than other days. This gives the dieter a break from the extreme
nature of the diet right in the middle of each cycle,
while fueling the
workout of the day, Dynamic training, chosen to
strategically promote
further fat loss due to it's metabolic demands.
Protein-only Depletion Day: Lactic Acid Training - The function
of this day is to depletion glycogen and intramuscular energy stores
to "make room" for the caloric surplus of the cheat day, minimizing
any
fat storage concern on this day. It's also another great fat burning
day
of the cycle coming after the carbohydrate bump the day before.
Lactic acid training is strategically performed because of its depletion
and fat loss effects.
