It? very important. It helps with recovery and development during training. It? also gives me fuel and energy. I have carb days and low carb days which is good for all round balance.<\/p>\n

My body’s used to the routine so after a few hours I? ready to eat again. It? usually about three hours.<\/p>\n
When I go to the butchers I buy in bulk so I get around 70-80 chicken breasts at a time, 10 steaks for a week and 40-50 steak burgers – and that? just the butchers! I go to the supermarket about twice a week.<\/p>\n
Not really no. It stays the same as my body needs it. It does get more relaxed or stricter towards competitions. I? a bit OCD about it in general!<\/p>\n
I do get bored but you can change the cooking method and seasoning as well as your sources of protein like salmon or chicken.<\/p>\n
I love Nandos!<\/p>\n

I use a tens machine for tendonitis in my hamstring to boost the blood flow to this area to help quicken recovery.<\/p>\n
Contrary to the myth muscle does not turn into fat if you stop lifting weights.<\/p>\n
Jack buys up to 80 chicken breasts at a time from the butcher. If he ate this quantity every week for an entire year that would amount to the consumption of 4,160 chicken breasts (Nandos will be pleased!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
