"A Day in the Life: John Cubit - Diet & Work-Out"

-- John Phillip Cubit
Lexfit.com

Training location: Home Gym, my basement is converted into a gym.

My workouts at home are much more focused and productive than going to a commercial gym where most of the people there are having social hour. You don’t need a fancy gym or tons of equipment to exercise.

Training philosophy: Listen to your body - it’s better to under-train than to over-train. If I’m tired, I won’t workout that day. If I feel strong then I’ll push myself harder. I train usually 5 days a week for about 45-60 minutes which breaks down to 1 body part a week. My main focus is the eccentric, or stretch, part of the exercise. This is the part of the movement that tears down muscle fiber and with proper diet and rest, tissue will repair itself stronger and larger.

I do not do cardio or abdominal training period. My workouts consist of high reps using light to moderate weight with 30 second rest periods between sets. This type of training is my cardiovascular training.

"A Day in the Life: Kieba Blacklidge - Diet & Work-Out"

Body Temple Boot Camp

A typical day for me (without a camper to train or feed) might be:

½ cup organic coffee with raw milk, 1-2 cup fruit of some kind, and several slices fresh coconut.
