muscular, or if youre a girl and want to develop a lean and toned body - the MAXS Muscle-Up 12 Week Challenge is a great way to transform your body and change your life ! One of the best ways to tackle any nutrition where you have a specific goal is to break up your program into manageable, bite-sized chunks. So to help you get the very best results, we have broken this 12 week Challenge up in 3 x 4 week blocks. Each block will have a specific purpose. The nutrition blocks will focus on progressive improvement and some slight changes to the balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to ensure you reach peak condition after 12 weeks. In this guide we are going to focus on the first four weeks of your nutrition plan. While many Challengers may already have a good idea of what they need to be eating, these plans will help any trainer get their Challenge started on the right path.
NUTRITION BASICS
Whether your goal in to build muscle, strip fat or tone up, the following nutritional principals should be followed to help achieve maximum results: 6 - 7 meals per day Your metabolism will respond to regular nutrition by working at higher rate. You will burn more kilojoules, get leaner, have more energy to train, build more muscle and generally feel much better. If you only eat a few meals per day your body goes into starvation mode, believing it is not getting regular food and so tries to conserve energy by slowing down your metabolism and limiting your results. The message here is simple spread your daily food intake over 6 -7 meals for maximum results. Protein serve at each meal to keep building muscle you need to be in whats called Positive Nitrogen Balance. This simply means you need a constant intake of protein, nitrogen being a key constituent of protein, to build maximum muscle. The best way to do this is to make sure you have a quality protein source in each of your daily 6 7 meals. Dont skip breakfast This is often referred to by nutritionists as the most important meal of the day, and for building muscle and getting in top shape, breakfast is super important. This is because during the night most people wont have eaten for around 8 hours or more, so the body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will be running slowly. Breakfast kick starts your metabolism. Quality protein and carbs with low fats is the perfect way to start your day. Drink plenty of water Water plays a crucial role in every part of your metabolism. You need it to build muscle, burn fat, produce energy, plus a myriad of other physiological processes. For hard training Challengers 2 3 litres per day is a minimum requirement. Post workout nutrition Perhaps the most important nutritional time of your day. Fast acting protein and fast acting carbs strait after your workout will really supercharge your recovery. MAXS Cell Repair is the ideal formula for this! Vegetables are king While protein is a key nutrient to building muscle mass, plenty of fresh vegetables are a must. Vegetables are choc full of vitamins, minerals and fibre, and will help keep your body healthy and in optimum shape during the rigours of hard training and dieting. Try to include several servings of fresh vegetable in at least 3 of your daily meals. Carbs, Yes or No Carbs are often viewed as taboo by many trainers. What is the truth? It depends on your goals. If you are trying to build size and muscle mass, carbs are your friend. Good quality clean carbs like wholegrain cereals, brown rice and sweet potato are an essential part of any mass gaining diet. If your goal is to strip fat, moderating carbs is the key. Reduce starchy carb foods but some carbs are always required to help you burn fat and keep your metabolism functioning properly.
