Timmy, 11 days straight is way over doing it bro. This is something like i do, Train Mon & Tues, i take Wed off, Train Thurs & Fri and then I will train on either either Sat or Sun depending on how im feeling, but I only train 4 - 5 days out of every 7.
I like to run in the mornings in the summer and do weights and body weight exercise in the afternoon. In winter im not so keen on running in the morning, so i do weights and body weight exercise in the afternoon over my 1 hr lunch break and run in the evenings. i have a good 4 - 5 hours between each session and eat like a champion between sessions
To a dedicated bodybuilder, they wouldn't do the running, but im not a dedicated bodybuilder and the way i do it seems to work for me.

my thing is my appetite is crap. i eat lots of fruit, canned fish, chicken and protein powder. lots of rice as well. but outside of that i rarely venture.
I gotta start at least incorporating one day off. it's crazy though, my body fat and weight is at it's lowest in 15 years and now i am addicted to training. lol
as of yesterday 199 lbs. under 200 for the first time in about 16 years. i feel and look great.

BTW...your diet sounds fine except watch the rice. I wouldn't bother with protein powder...I would sub that with eggs. Dropping weight/fat has more to do with simple carbohydrate intake than anything (rice is a simple carb)...people loose lots of weight without even exercising by eliminating the carbs alone.Last edited by jaded; 02-09-2013, 07:47 PM.

Honestly unless you are superman I would think you must be or will be soon the latter. The harder you train the more rest you need. You need to be able to go to the gym and feel fresh and ready and able to give it you all to be at your peak.

with regard to the rice - i am not actually looking to lose weight so the carbs are necessary. brown rice, whole wheat pasta (though i do love white rice).

i have been blessed with a pretty good body. not too many injuries and i still have a bit of smarts that haven't been knocked out of me. hopefully i'll survive.
thanks for the birthday wishes!!!

I was planning on doing another "smoker bout" at my gym in February but I've been swamped at work. Ideally I would go to gym 3 evenings during the week workout for 1-1.5 hours and then do my usual Sunday workout from 12:00-2 or 2:30. I'm up in my mid 30s and I find that a day's rest help me recover and recuperate nicely and my workouts are more intense the next day that I go.
My workouts are pretty cardio intense and are a mix of boxing drills and regular cardio/strength training exercises. At home I like to shadow box and focus on technique e.g. footwork, throwing my punches straight, bring hands back to face, etc. I also like to shadow box with my 16 oz sparring gloves on. It helps with my handspeed.
