I been 'trying' to get back into shape after a long haitus. I work nights - 12 hours shift and it has totally screwed me up. 7p-7a Sometimes (and I try not to do this anymore) I stay up for more than 36 hours... I am trying to start with your 3 day work out because on my days off my priority is sleep unfortunately. A couple questions: When is the best time to work out if its a work day. When should I eat? I am naturally thin, have a good metabolism. My diet is awful now, I've lost 14 lb the past 2 months...skinny flabby and untoned muscles are starting to really show! Also, not a huge meat eater - do you know if there are negative health impact from using protein suppliments - drinking a shake is sometimes so much easier with the busy schedule. Any recommendations for the health conscious women- sugar, fat, artificial sweetners all seem to rule mainstream protein supps... Hello Mark!

Although you would be hitting a different body part, there is still a general fatigue that the body is experiencing. This may prevent you from reaching positive failure on the second set of the superset. Optimum rest is at least 2 minutes, so if you want the best results, I suggest you take this couple of minutes to rest and get your breath back. @Sky – I wouldn’t recommend it.

Can I add 2 sets of leg extensions and 2 sets of leg curls before the squat? The intention is to warm the legs and also get them exausted before the back (I feel that my back gets exausted before the legs when doing the squat and the deadlifts). Mómex Hi Mark.

I do believe they can be hit up to 2 or 3 times a week though - this is part of the 'Total Six Pack Abs' program. However, if you're not aggressively cutting, work them once a week and up the frequency when your goal is to get super lean. Cheers, Mark Hi Joe,
