A week long menu to get you started on your way to get shredded.
A week long menu to get you started on your way to get shredded.
Six packs are desired by many and admired by more. This month's plan is designed to help you get that washboard we all long for. Rather than solely writing a plan that's a consistent decrease in calories, I've developed one to make things more reasonable and likely for readers to follow.
This month I've developed a plan cycling higher and lower calorie days ranging from as low as 2000 calories upwards of 3000 calories. Match up the higher calorie days with training days; similarly, the lower calorie days should be those where you don't train.
Therefore, instead of labeling days by calendar days, I've labeled them as training or non-training days so they can follow your individual schedule.
