Notes:

I trained six days per week; four days resistance training, one strongman day, one day sprints.
If possible, perform any resistance training or high intensity energy system work before 3pm. This allows cortisol and insulin levels to drop before bedtime.
Always go to bed slightly hungry; wake up leaner than you went to bed.
Perform low intensity cardio in the evening.


I recommend a 30-45 minute walk 4-5 days/week, 30-45 minutes after dinner. Yes, this is a geriatric training method, but it works. Laugh all you want at your old neighbors walking in their fleece sweat suits; they’re on to something.

Others benefits of light evening cardio include:

Improves digestion
Reduces blood sugar
Modulates blood pressure
Facilitates growth hormone release during sleep
Can improve sleep quality more than watching television
Less likely to stray from diet due to idle time
