Mike. . . Others have asked me the same question regarding
breakfast. Your “downfall” is not breakfast itself but rather your buying into
stereotypical notions of which foods should be eaten when. Your options for breakfast are
no wider or narrower than for any other meal. You may not be conditioned to eat a salad
for breakfast, but why not?
Regarding your exercise program, bodybuilders tend to be
obsessive about certain things (like bodybuilding). Your urge to weight train two hours
per day, five days per week is probably pure obsessiveness, because you know better from
having read Natural Hormonal Enhancement and Hormonally Intelligent Exercise.
The same drive that takes you to the point of failure tempts you to overtrain. I’m
sure Arnold could attest to this, and so can Dave Draper. It’s a trait of all
champion bodybuilders – they’re more likely to overtrain than to undertrain,
because if they were prone to undertrain they wouldn’t be champion bodybuilders. You
need to conform your workouts to the research in NHE and HIE, so that exercise can be a
means of promoting anabolism to ward-off age-associated degeneration – not just a
routine overtaxing grind. It’s great that your commitment to training is still as
strong as ever at 47; and that should be an inspiration to others. But you can do better,
and if you follow the exercise schedules and instructions in HIE, you will do better. |
