How closely are you tracking macros ?

I really don’t like have a meal plan but my meals look the same almost every day
500g quark-50g protein-1g fat-20g carbs
320g chicken breast-140g pasta
And then 6 eggs and some cheese and with all the cooking oil and stuff it adds upp to 1800,I am really looking for a meal plan or to set up one since I think it would make it easier if everything is organized instead of doing it on the run

[Joseph]

I also do 30 min of walking at the end of every training day

[Joseph]

We aren’t going to write you an exact split , that’s not what we do here . Helping you understand what your even thinking is what we do

So when you continue with progressive overload for long enough , the end result is being extremely strong . Just saying you have an urge to be big and strong , that’s bodybuilding still .

Powerlfiting is doing the sbd

So do you want to be a strong bodybuilder like me , or specifically good at the squat bench dead ?

As they are very diff things , and I despise the phrase powerbuilding , it makes absolutely no sense at all . What you have described is simply bodybuilding

Okay well then i am just going to keep training like a bodybuilder

[Joseph]

Enjoy your teenage years and make memories with your friends. Train, be active and have fun, but don’t overthink anything. Make sure you eat high protein meals, but don’t fixate on sticking to rigid set diet plans just yet.

It’s fantastic that you are serious and want to learn, but you’re very young, so don’t stress about being perfect right now. Enjoy the whole process.

Okay thank you and everybody else

[Joseph]

At 14 , you simply need to eat consistently through the day , high protein meals and train hard and enjoy the training your doing, and enjoy being a teenager

Okay and im guessing that i shoulder track calories and macros SINCE that takes away energy for my school work and all that,just eat meals with lots of carbs veggies and protein??

[Joseph]

At 14 I’m going to discourage this , you don’t need to post pics .

Try to be active , walk a bit more if you feel like you would be happier with yourself if you were carrying a little fat , but at 14 your very young , so try your best not to fixate on this yet

Okay but the thing is do you think I could be in a small surplus to put muscle out and make the fat I already have seem like less,because I think the reason I feel the need to cut is my fat -muscle ratio and not actually my fat levels

[Joseph]

If you are not fat makes no sense, slowly keep growing and stay in a small calorie surplus

Could I maybe send some pictures,cuz my love handles are showing a little bit

[Joseph]

Yup defo , just swap them back and forth

Ahh that’s awesome ,I hoped that you would answer that

[Joseph]

I have had this , so to counter I drive hard through my left leg , when I do leg ext , you will see my head is cocked to the left , irs because I literally stare only at my left leg and mentally only drive through that , as my right leg will do the work and then I get a slight strain in the rec fem

Okay thanks Jordan .I’ll try it and tell u if it worked.Thanks for the info

[Joseph]

I would consider this because it doesn’t make much sense really , as at upper / lower set up , push can’t get tons of volume , so doing an upper session with just push work and then trying to cram in back and legs that both can handle more , into one session, is illogical

That’s why I don’t do that set up as part of upper lower

I would do it

Back and legs

Push

Back legs

Rest

Back and legs

Push

Back and legs

Rest

Or just straight

Upper

Lower

Rest

The question is , why do you want that day ? What are you hoping to get from it that you won’t get from

Upper – 6-7 sets back work

Next day lower – however much volume you can recover from , including stiff legs

The thing is that I want to move back from being last on the upper day after all my chest,tricep,delt work so that it can be put first in its own session,since we know that a muscle grows best if it’s trained first in a session,but maybe I’m wrong about moving it enlighten me

[Joseph]

Rear delt row , for me is an angle slightly further from my body of an upper back row and then focus on pulling with the rear delts and keep out scap retraction

If you have no muscle / no idea how to do any of the above , it won’t make the slightest bit of diff over analysing it , and better just doing a reverse pec dec

I know how to retract my scapula and how to over engage my rear delts thanks for the info Jordan

[Joseph]

It’s not David

Ok so you asked an angled smith question , so either the bar is coming in towards your face , or away from it depending on the way your orientated to the bar , I would assume you asking about an angled smith you would know this , that’s why the others agreed as they have been on one

I prefer the bar coming closer to my face at the bottom

However , I honestly don’t think it will make any diff whatsoever for you , so I wouldn’t worry , in the slightest

I would now just be thinking about the consistent work

Thanks for the clarification jord,appreciate it

[Joseph]

Looks fine , just crack on for a year and don’t get distracted by shiney new things . Oh look a shiney stone haha

Hahaha thank you Jordan.It feels very good to be able to ask you questions personally after joining this app:)

[Joseph]

I’m with Jordan on this one

I don’t really understand what Jordan means by that can someone explain sorry for my lack of understanding

[Joseph]

Stiff leg , in lower

Thanks jord!!
