[social][/social]Rule #2: REST: You will need to get a minimum of 8 hours of sleep. If your body is not rested, how do you expect it to perform at the level that you want?
Rule #3: PROPER NUTRITION: You notice how I did not say diet. Even when you are cutting weight, you must still make sure that you are getting the proper nutrition so that you can not only have the energy for your training sessions, but also recover for the next training session.
Rule #4: SUPPLEMENTATION: Remember that supplementation is not a substitute for real food; it is to supplement what you are not getting in your every day eating. Things like a multivitamin, calcium, etc. are needed especially as we are getting closer to the event, our training is increasing in intensity, or even while dropping into the weight class of your choice.
If you are committed and willing to follow these rules than here is the breakdown of the first 6 weeks of the program.
