MemberOctober 24, 2024 at 12:44 pm in reply to: 8 weeks into the bulk and got fat. Should I continue?Hello Chris
Your base of the growth start was very lean but also very skinny. And you have a little bit of loose skin which appeared, probably from a past overweight and your previous cut which was a bit too fast.
Nothing alarming for me! From the picture, you can keep the growth slowly.
The skin will also be less loose when u will add a decent amount of muscle in the future, so still nothing alarming for me.
The point on which I wanna put an emphasis here : your mental state.
You doubts a lot of your coach/ and you did not gain a significant body fat either, so I do think you still have past “demons” in your head, regarding “body fat” or “taking weight”.
Instead of contesting the technics of your coach, try to speak to him of your “demons” / “fear” of getting big.
You HAVE TO TELL HIM that you don’t feel comfy and that you need a slow process for your mind (cause shape wise everything was under control) instead of telling him “you sure I need 3k kcals smg because I take 1,5kg etc etc” where here you criticized his choices ; which are 2 different approches, if that makes sense for u.
And ofc he told u he knows better, cause he is the coach and you are the clients, so he knows better by definition; Particularly in your case: where everything was under control body fat wise.
If you had became extremely fat, I would have told you “ok your coach pushed too far” but here; you lack of objectivity on yourself.
So I guess you come from a starting point with over weight, and all of this is just anxiety to come back as before.

Knee pain most of the time are due to joints in an incorrect alignements, or lack of stretching of the quads as the insertion of the quads goes to the knee.
It’s very important to focus on joints alignements, and a good routine (followed by a pro) of flexibility mobility stretching.
Unfortunately some of us get weaker joints, so you can help yourself with joint in and osteo pro from tbjp, but also make sure not jumping too far too fast on the progression or your lift.
You need to get a certain amount of muscle to support the joint, so go slowly too.
I had same trouble than you in 2023 when I did my growth season, the knee on the front was crispy crispy. Squat at 70kg where ok, squats at 80kg, never!
The stack tbjp helped massively, but doing a routine fasted + a very very precise warm up is also what is needed in those caseInstagram : @allisontestu

But I INSIST ON THE GOOD WARM UP cause you can hurt yourself easily when trying from nowhere to do an explosive move

Hello mate, you can also change your way or running so you can keep it at same time than building nice legs
Don’t run for long periods of time, if u notice your legs become miserable.
Make sure you eat enough for what u consume, and u can try doing alternated speed running.
With a good joints and muscles warm up before, but sprinters have very nice and powerful legs compared to marathonians.
The explosive way of running can help you massively at the gym too and will be less taxative on your progressesInstagram : @allisontestu

Hello everyone
This morning I had a flexibility lesson with one friend in partnership in exchange of an instagram reel, was insane😂
I am all tired from glutes now
I could see what I was doing correctly and incorrect though
My mobility of hips flexors, quads was not too bad as she said
But the worst trouble is my hamstrings, she noticed they are very very stiff and even shortened, so everytime I hit an exercise for the glutes ties in, for example, hamstrings and lower back take too much tension so that’s the reason why my glutes don’t work as they should in the gym.
Also she focused on my feet position while I am stretching hamstrings, and basically when I was stretching hamstrings; I was most of the time stretching adductors, so now I know.
This was awesome awesome awesome.
I will renew the experience myself clearly
And with her again.
We also noticed than when I stretch the left side, I do rotate my hips a little without noticing so I finally has an axis to work on to remove my difference btw left side and right side lower body.
For all the people reading my log today, don’r neglect the importance of correct flexibility stretching and mobility, don’t hesitate to hire a professional to guide you, cause I can feel for me it will be a game changer !
After that lesson I had myself all my online posing lessons to give like every wednesday. And did 1h cardio as it is part of the new plan now.
My coach sent me this night my new diet, so a little less carbs here and there, we aim to seat around 59/60kg, to have a leaner shape and envision more the axis we need to improve.
Point is that I hold a lot of fat tissue around the hips and the glutes, and the shape of the glutes is very very blurred and has a different shape than with less body fat.
The upper body and the waist is always lean on me, but we wanna see better and don’t work blindly.
Also once a better condition will be reached, i guess we will reduce cardio/increase food and stay lean into a reverse.
My coach does my diet and give me the directions.
My husband does my workout and follows the instructions of my coach.
My coach said the upper body became less good, and a tad too slim so I can start again training back arms and shoulders until we have the fullness back to what it was.
After almost 5 years without training them (juste once or twice a workout for pump) they finally sized down, but we need to keep this V taper and a little bit rounder.
It’s also giving a nice shape to the waist and nice ratios.
He told me to keep not training the abductors though cause the goal her is to reduce the width of my hips, but def I can keep the upper glutes work, but no lateral moves.
My protocol is just 2ui of gh like all year round (yes I am checking my blood sugar often to make sure it stays low, and it was around 82)
At 6.30pm I got a deep tissue massage with priss pernot (wbff figure pro) and then relax cause today my body is all painful 😂

Hello
Basically for bikini it’s very specific to each case
In my case I am too big and muscular for bikini, so there will have zero changes coming into peak week, no refeed, no manipulations, i will even go on my flattest to fir the criterions
Some bikinis need to refeed, as they have a tiny frame and small muscles, but spreading the refeed is the best to do with a bikini, as they need to keep a small waist, so “all in one” carbs up it’s not a super idea
Some of them are with the good size of muscle but maybe too hard for the division, so many coach uses fats and sometimes ice cream (if digested well and tested in advance) to soften the look.
Some others are perfect before the peak week and don’t need to do anything and will keep doing their normal diet until show day even on show day.Bikini is not about conditioning, it’s about : sexyness, hourglass shape, nice upper gluteus with small waist and nice shoulders without veins or striations, upper body proportional to lower body without a too crazy x frame.
Good luck for it 😂

I would check the shape on visual, weight on the scale and feeling, after a week and adapt according to the look
The periodization of changes as hilly said it’s person dependent
I will increase everytime the weight will start being stable again/decreaseInstagram : @allisontestu
