What is your advice on nutrition?

See out FAQ page for some of our basic guidelines concerning nutrition.

How should I train if I cannot maintain a 5 on, 2 off schedule?

It is ideal that you train 5 days in a row with 2 full days off for rest. If you miss a session for some reason, avoid skipping ahead and start again where you left off and complete the sessions in order throughout the plan. If you miss more than a few days in a training week you should start that training week from the beginning in order to get the most out of this training program.
