Im in tune with my food intake. I could eat more, but it just gets added as flab. I try to nap as much as I can, but I have a pretty hectic schedule, so my napping is inconsistent.
on training...find something easy to do on off days that will keep you in condition. training twice a week its no wonder you get exhausted. try pulling a tire or weighted sled but not till failure, or light weight lifting not to failure. these activities get blood and joint fluid moving and improve recovery. its very important that you dont kick your ass on these activities, just take it easy the goal is recovery.
I was thinking along the same lines. So I do some light cardio on a tread mill while holding very very light dumbells which I lift up and down and all around in all kinds of directions. I break a light sweat but its not a strenous workout, its my recovery workout. Its 20-30 mins of light cardio, and the dumbells help get the blood flowing in my arms and around all my joints. I cant tell if this is really helping, but even the 20 mins of cardio makes me really tired the next day.
My schedule looks like this:
tues: wrestle
wed: 20-30 min cardio on treadmill with light weights
thurs: wrestle
friday 20-30min cardio again if im not wiped out, otherwise push the cardio to saturday.
sat,sun,monday - take off, focus on healing, maybe a bike ride or something.
