Week No. 3   

It is absolutely necessary to get the right amount of protein, carbs, vitamins and minerals over the next 6 weeks. As well, rest is important. Remember  the following:

Exercise stimulates hGH (human growth hormone) release in the body. So do high temperatures. It is recommended that you train in a warm environment – above 74 to 76 degrees.

Avoid going to bed with a bellyful of carbohydrates. High blood glucose will inhibit hGH release exactly when you need it the most.
