NO. I mean replace a few lifts with some different exercises. Change, don’t add. Keep the major core lifts but switch up the accessory lifts. Use different equipment.
Also consider sprints…
[quote]Any comments on the diet, ‘Shibboleth’ mentioned removing the starchy carbs…does an apple and banana make a big difference, especially since it’s pre workout? Would i be better served replacing the fruits with a pre-workout supplements i.e. HOT-ROX, SuperPump?
Thanks again.[/quote]
The primary sugar in fruit is fructose, which is low on the glycemic index. This means it takes a while to break down. So it will keep your blood sugar a little more consistent. Maybe not the quick energy you’re looking for. However, you don’t want something that is going to spike and crash half way through the workout. Experiment with foods with some different types of sugars and supplements with different mixes, amino acids, etc.
Don’t cut out too many carbs, you need to restore that glycogen. Get some carbs with your protein post-workout; it will restore as well as help the protein processes.
And for the love of strength, stop eating chicken and broc all day, every day! Mix up the vegetables; you could be losing essential vitamins and minerals eating the same things over and over. You need variety.
