    February 10, 2025 at 5:25 pm in reply to: Recomp and upper lower help approach

    Hello mate, a recomp would take much time imo, I would donit in several phases :

    I would start at maintenance for now as you get back on your routine : td diet and ntd diet taking into account ntd diet will have less kcals
    See and assess the shape.
    Then :
    If you know u are lean lean at 81kg I would aim for this weight approx in a second period of time, to be into a perf position to start the push.
    1/ maintenance and get back to your routine
    2/ deficit to get leaner

    Create a deficit by adding steps and cardio in, stay at 2400kcals average i would put training days 2600kcals and low days 2100 smg for now and see how the shape is responding
    But only in a second time

    February 9, 2025 at 6:54 pm in reply to: Why is traditional bulking best for growth?

    Hello mate
    500gr per week is mostly an universal average
    But it’s person dependent and as Kuba said :
    Visuals
    Progesses at the gym
    Matters also.
    I def put more muscle on quicker when I have enough body fat (not super fatty ofc) (+ I was natty all my off seasons/growth seasons until 2020 – then after 2020 I just got 2ui gh; it’s important to tell u this cause I have build majority of my shape naturally, and best deal is to find a good body compo not too lean not too fat, in which you def look decent and your recovery and progresses still occurs)
    but on another hand: I def feel more the muscle while staying into a leaner composition, as there is less “meat” all around, I can see a lot more focus on technical side of my training cause sensations are twice more perceptible leaner than when I am softer.
    I have experienced both though.
    The lean lean growth is very slow and you don’t add significant muscle amount, but body compo is preserved but recovery isn’t super great, hormones for woman ie are not balanced quickly, and periods are irregular.
    That’s person dependent once again;
    But I do prefer becoming a tad softer, sleeping perfectly, recovery perfect, no hunger, healthy look (particularly for woman) and hormons and periods in check quickly!
    I always use belly, under glutes (for woman) and lower back to the asses if the fat gain is too quick.
    Those are the zones which says a lot about if you went too far into the bulk or not.
    If you want us to help u to assess your shape : feel free to share with us!

    Hello everyone
    Did my check in this am for my coach
    61kg so 600gr less than the previous Sunday
    Shape posted on my IG feed today if you are curious and wanna have a look.
    Not hungry, not tired, lift still increase but slower, recovery good, mindset incrrrredible
    Well everything is rolling!
    Recap of my actual protocol for the curious (here we are transparent!) :
    – 2UI GH fasted everyday
    – 40mcg clen fasted + 20mcg clen afternoon
    That’s all ✨ still no androgens in place and honestly I am happy 😂 I hate that
    Now I am waiting the feedback of my coach
    Here the link to see my front and back pose :

    https://www.instagram.com/p/DF3GSowsmny/?igsh=MW1iMjBvOHFodXRlNw==

    Today full day of online posing lessons, and now I just finished work so I started my 40min of slow walk on the treadmill at home.

    Tomorrow 2 hours of posing lessons into my posing studio at home, stairmaster 30min at the gym, and fasted 40min walk.

    Life is good 😍
    I will update you if the coach makes some changes but I don’t think so.

    Hello mate fully agree with the others
    1/ carbs heavy pre-bed meal the day before
    2/ make sure you hydrate yourself enough upon wake

    4/ Intra: same than pre wo without honey

    February 8, 2025 at 8:04 pm in reply to: Food problem

    With Gastritis the key is to avoid anything that may irritate the stomach lining eg. acidic, spicy, fatty, fried, high sugar and processed foods, as well as caffeinated drinks. You want to eat pretty bland, plain and low fat foods such as lean meats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low fat greek yoghurt and only use the purest whey Isolate if you want to use a protein powder. Also drink plenty of water throughout the day.

    I had a client with gastritis who found supplementing with Glutamine, Deglycyrrhizinated licorice and Zinc Carnosine beneficial.

    I think slippery elm could be good for the gut lining too.

    Fully agree with Clare here – great post[/quote]

    Thanks Peter very much! i have one question! if i cut out red meat,do i need to use more creatine dayli and to supplement iron?!

    [/quote]

    you really should not need to IMO but if you feel you do then just add in. I usually find people still get enough iron even without red meat.

    Creatine I would be supplementing with daily anyway and there would be no need to increase [/quote]
    I would also even add on top of what Hilly said, that people got enough iron without eating red meat, and same for people eating a lot of red meat, they can still get an iron deficiency.
    If your levels of iron are in range, you are not “obliged” to add red meat imo.
    My case : iron deficiency 80% of the time even eating fruits, veggies which contain iron and red meat.
    So I take iron tbjp as my nutrition don’t bring enough iron for my needs and iron monthly loss.

    February 7, 2025 at 11:34 am in reply to: Off day calories – Push

    Now for the push phase: as I did 4x a push phase in my first years, I like:
    – weakness td
    – td
    – ntd
    As I am always in muscle split cause my body parts grow at a very different rate
    Weak muscle : very high diet
    Other muscles : high diet
    Rest : lower diet
    I had significant progresses doing that (ofc not enhanced in push for me)

    February 7, 2025 at 11:29 am in reply to: Off day calories – Push

    Deciding when – based on recovery, body composition, and progress.

    Determining the difference between TD and NTD – just subtract the average amount of calories that you normal burn on a training day and have that be the calorie difference on your off day

    Don’t overthink it too much bud!

    Thank you, what is your best way of determining how many calories you burn?[/quote]
    Set a baseline diet and see if you take weight or loose weight
    According to what the body decides to do on a same workout plan/cardio plan every week, you will know if you need to lower or increase the diet according to your goal.
    There are some calculations you can find on the internet how to settle your baseline calories and macros but this is just “your supposed kcals total” , in reality it can be much different.
    So calculate your base, assess and increase or decrease from this base.
    Now regarding td and ntd I always have lower kcals on the ntd, cause my expenses are lower.
    They have a difference atm of 350 kcals with my td, and I am in contest prep.
    I will let this difference, unless recovery troubles occur, but for the moment… no problem so this way is the best way to get me conditionned.
    But it proper to each person, I have been in the past with same kcals td and ntd and the shape did not liked it at all.
    But I also had very very very low kcals with a “well known usa bikini coach” 1000kcals a day and same diet td and ntd and ofc shape was responding cause I was eating air and over doing cardio and rest days were actually to train calves and abs so no real rest day, oh and not fats 😑 (this technic is super bad)
    But shape was responding, I was flat all the time, impossible to fill up the shape before stage but yes I was shredded.
    I do prefer cycling diet and I do feel shape is always better with more food on training day.
    But that’s works on me, and possibility not working on everyone.

    February 7, 2025 at 11:18 am in reply to: Insomnia BAD

    I would change inj to the morning
    And watch out if you are not more stressed than usual, drinking more caffeine than usual, training later than usual, or using exciting powders/screens later than usual though.
    Make sure you do this and see how it goes then

    February 7, 2025 at 11:16 am in reply to: Advice on tricep exercises

    Hello mate, I would have said maybe too heavy or bad angle/grip angle
    This is a small muscle, so don’t get too hungry with the loads, efficient movement good tempo and keep tension all along your set, watchout the execution

    Hello mate
    Fully agree with Clare here
    Try lean meat and see how you react
    Try to cut eggs if this is the only thing unchanged and see how your body respond to it.
    You said no problem with chicken so switch for chicken or turkey
    Process of elimination and see in which period you feel better, once it occurs keep the same things you are doing
