So today is a rest day and it comes at a great time because I am pretty sick. Rest days are important because they allow your muscles to grow. If you are constantly lifting then you are constantly breaking down your muscle fibers which won't allow them to grow. Even though it is a rest day, I suggest you still do cardio for 2-30 minutes just to burn out a little more fat. Today I walked up and down my staircase, kind of like a manual stair master. Also rest days are a good way to focus on your nutrition.
Mike's Diet
3pm: Big Mac meal and McChicken
8pm: Clam chowder and Ham sandwich
So Mike's nutrition may look pretty awful to you and that's because it is. First off his first meal is at 3 pm.... You should try to eat early to get your metabolism started. Second, his meal is fast food, which probably has the most unnecessary fat and calories possible. I don't think he is eating enough, especially since he is trying to gain weight. He should be eating more, but healthier foods. I'll write more on that later and for now I will try to get him to improve what he eats. Tomorrow might be another rest day, I haven't decided, but I will see you all tomorrow.
