LORI'S TRAINING REGIMEN

I work out with very heavy

weights of which I use

predominantly free weights. I like

to stick to a 3 day on with one day

off split routine or sometimes

change it up with a 2 day on one

day off routine. I break my body

parts into one Leg training day,

a Chest day, Triceps day, Biceps,

Shoulder day and a Back day. As a guide I

try to maintain rep ranges around 8 - 12 and

approximately 3 sets for each exercise. I only work out for a maximum of 40 minutes 4 to 5 days a week. Anything over 1 hour is very bad and wears you down and you loose testosterone which ultimately leads to muscle deterioration. Rotating my workouts and changing exercises frequently I find works very well for me and it keeps my workouts fresh and body stimulated.

The supplements I take are whey and casein protein and a multi-vitamin. Some tips I would encourage you to do are to change up your workout routine every three-four weeks - perform ab workouts after a lifting session or after cardio - consume less sodium in your diet - perform ab workouts with 30 second rests - perform ab workouts in a circuit to reduce fatigue in certain abdominal areas.

My typical day starts with 9 egg whites with oatmeal ( Always eat in the morning or your body will break down right away) Rest of the day every three hours I eat at least 40 grams of protein with 40 grams of carbs which would be either Whey Protein with oatmeal at one sitting or meals like lean steaks, fish, chicken or tuna fish with oatmeal or potato for my carbs. I guess I eat a lot of Oatmeal because it's about the only carb that the body does not store as fat, plus it breaks down slow so it keeps you full so your not hungry all the time.

Here is my meal lists broken down:

10 am - 9 egg whites with oatmeal, 1 PM - chicken with potato, 4 PM - chicken, fish or steak with oatmeal, 5 PM - work out, 7 PM or right after workout I have protein drink with oatmeal, 8 PM - tuna or some type of 40 gram protein meal with oatmeal, 11pm - protein drink

So I try to eat every two-three hours.
