This week I made a few changes to my food plan and my workout plan. Now my weight training days are Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. With this schedule I'm able to exercise each body part every 4-5 days. This give me plenty of time to recover from each workout.
The only change I made to the food plan is to include a high carb day on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. This ensures that my muscle glycogen is always full and ready to perform.
Unfortunately if you do too many low carb days this can be detrimental to your weight training. This is because for one you have less energy to push through the sets, and as you lose glucose in your muscles, you also lose water. This actually dehydrates your muscles which can affect performance and predispose you to injury. A dehydrated muscle is not as resilient to physical stress.
