Day 41:Active Rest Day

I was so sore from the past three workouts. As much as I don’t want to go to the gym, I have to go film footage for other videos. And while I’m there, I’ll do my first cardio workout for today. I’d much rather do it outside, but my legs aren’t up to it, and my schedule doesn’t allow for it.

I’m going to get on the elliptical trainer, which has no impact. And that’s what I need today. It’s crucial that you make your cardio choices based on how your body is responding to this intense 8-Week Muscle-Building Trainer.

I feel much better after my HIIT cardio, and I’m heading outside to get some vitamin D in the sun. I’m eating higher fats, and life is good. Don’t forget your evening steady-state cardio and your 16-hour fast. Those are both crucial elements of your recovery and growth on this intense 8-Week Muscle-Building Trainer series.

EXERCISE	SETS	REPS	STRATEGY
HIIT	1	3	4 minutes easy/1 minute full intensity for a total of 15 minutes
Steady-state cardio	1	1	20 minutes

TIP

Don’t forget that supplements are one of the most crucial aspects of recovery. Yes, you can consume more dietary fats and first-class proteins today, but you should also emphasize fermented BCAAs, fermented Glutamine, Hydra-Charge, and your PIP stack. You need to be in a constant state of recovery, maintaining a strong immune system, performing with a fully focused brain, contracting muscles fully with electrolytes, increasing the blood flow to the muscles, boosting protein synthesis, and buffering lactic acid. The supplements I recommend will do all of this, providing that your diet is 100%.
