On cardio days I run 2-3 miles to help burn bodyfat gained from bulking. I also switch out workouts every few weeks so im not always doing same thing.

I take Whey Protein which includes BCAA’s, L-Glutamine, Creatine, and Crystalline Taurine. I take 1/2 a scoop 45 minutes Before a Workout and 1 1/2 scoops directly After a Workout.

Pre-Workout meals for breakfast 1-2 hours before workout for examples Multi-Grain Cereal or Oatmeal And/or Banana and 2 Egg Whites.
Post-Workout meals 45 min – 2 hours after workout for examples Lunch would be Turkey Sandwich on wheat with Fruit or for dinner Salmon, Rice, Pasta, and Carrots.

Please let me know what you think and what i should improve in the 5 day split. Thank You
