Insanity work-out

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Day 12 completed today.
Feeling really good. Managed to complete the bloody warm up without stopping. Just know I am getting stronger however as Rosler said-Those fucking power jumps are insane.
I had a blow out yesterday.Crisps,chinese etc but I have decided one day a week I will do that and the rest stick to the new healthy eating.

Im on Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs today.

Bit of advice required please. Are you supposed to do both workouts together ie straight after one another?

Cheers in Advance

I do. Yes it's hard work but cardio abs isn't really cardio at all. More strength work to the abs. You shouldn't have a problem doing them together.

Need some help regarding weight lifting. I am 5 foot 7 and about 10 weeks ago I was only 8 stone... I decided I wanted to gain weight and last time I checked I was nearly 9 stone 5. I have brought myself a bench press and some dumbbells to do some weight lifting at home. Also got some Whey protein powder. Just a few quick questions if anybody can help, Should I drink the shakes before or after my work out? Do I have a light snack before working out and a big meal once I have finished?

I am only lifting around 35/40kg on the bench and around 10/15 on my dumbbells but will gradually buy more weights once I can lift them :-) Should I be lifting much more?

Thanks for the help

Both before and after.

How many times a day are you eating and what is your diet like? The reason you may not have had anyone answer is that the questions should really go in the "bulk up" thread as BM has lots and lots of guys that would help you out on there, such as Dirty Harry and Fantasy Ireland.

Also, so long as you are progressively lifting more over time, the weight you are at now doesn't matter.

Diet wasn't great before I started this

Morning
Bowl of cereal and a protein shake
yogurt on my break at 10.30

Lunch
Pasta dish with chicken and maybe some crisps

Tea time
I have been eating mainly steak and chips at the moment
Protein shake before work out

Before bed
I would normally have some strawberries and cream

I try to eat fruit in the day maybe an orange or banana. I can't stand eating eggs or tuna and I no they are really good for bulking up. Also on days I train I will mainly have porridge in the morning

I find that if I have a protein shake before doing insanity or anything else I just end up throwing up.

So I now have one just after and then one before bed.

Also I try to get protein from food and only now have the shakes if I don't get chance to cook anything like that

But you are not really bulking up or weight training mate.

I am 186lbs so trying to get my protein solely from food is difficult. I have 3 or 4 protein shakes a day on top of a clean diet.
