Would you please list out your perfect day in regards to meals and what they would consist of?JL: It takes some time to figure out what works for your own body. My diet wouldn%u2019t work as well for 90% or the rest of you. But I eat oatmeal in the morning, carbs before and after workouts and just a little, if any, carbs before bedtime. The only time I eat carbs before bed is if I do legs the morning after. MFF: You mentioned in an interview that you have to constantly remind Michelle to rest and recover. What is your favorite thing to do on an R&R day?JL: Get out of the house, get out of the gym, and just do something else. It can be just strolling around a mall, going to the beach, or meeting up with friends.MFF: What music gets your blood pumping when you%u2019re in the gym or running outside?JL: I%u2019m quite a hard rocker, but after experiencing Ultra Music Festival and 11 days in Ibiza, I listen a lot to radio stations like BPM and Flaix FM.MFF: When competing, or doing promotions, which part of the world is your favorite place to be for those activities?JL: There are so many places in the world and all of them has something, so I can%u2019t say exactly where. But when we go to Latin or South American countries, the hysteria is intense and really fun.MFF: What are your day to day supplements that you use to enhance your gain and to speed up your recovery? JL: I do take 4 to 5 protein shakes daily, with fast carbs after a workout. Also casein before bed time. It would be madness to be empty of proteins when you sleep and the recovery and gains are in progress. MFF: When you have a muscle injury, or even severe muscle soreness, what do you do in order to get yourself back to perfect condition again faster?JL: Well, that%u2019s two completely different things that would be treated differently. When injured, the muscle must not be affected at all. If, for example, your triceps is hurt you must find a way to do chest without connecting triceps. There are many ways; just be careful. When it%u2019s severe muscle soreness, there%u2019s just one thing to do. Relax. That%u2019s more important that many think, in order to recover.
