I give it a strong 7 out of 3.
Going to need some relevance as Max says.
What are your current stats? Weight. Height. BF. Goals?

Not embarrassing at all mate, you’ve got good reason to take it slow and work back in to it! Getting the volume in at least 🙂
Last thing you want to do is jump in trying to smash out heavy deads and re-injure yourself -
Good to know as that was my next question!
I will get some powder in and add it to my daily 2L bottle I take to work to drink throughout the day.

JP, have fun in Aus, try not to eat any passengers on the flight.
Would be good to hear how you handle the flight, preparation for it, how you tackle jet lag etc. When you have time of course! -
Safe flight! Have fun in Aus 🙂

There is definitely a video, there’s been some changes on the site recently which are making it difficult to find some of the older videos, wonder if they’ve been archived? Hopefully JP can chime in at some point to advise.
However the gist of setting up a full body routine is this:
Quad dominant compound
Hamstring variety
Calf raise variation
Chest compound (vary incline)
Shoulder press variety
Flye variation
Dip variation
Bicep Curl variation2 sets of each, first set 8-12 reps, second set 12-15, aiming for just shy of failure.
Create 4 different full body workouts based on the above, so for example, workout 1 might have squats, curls, seated calf raise, flat db press, machine shoulder press etc. 2nd workout might be leg press, stiff leg deads, toe press, low inline bench press, db shoulder press etc.
You get the idea there.4 workouts, trained day on, day off and keep rotating through the 4. Log each session.
These do take a little longer to complete so allow yourself some time! Check out Corinne’s warmup protocol video too 🙂

Lower back shouldn’t be rounding on leg press, focus on keeping that form tight and lighten the load if needs be.
Look at some of Sas’ workouts, he’s plagued with injuries and is now working around them to maintain muscle, pump them full of blood and nutrients and avoid any further injury. Lighter loads, higher volume. Yes progressive overload is king but there’s more than one way to grow and sometimes you just need to adjust for obvious discomfort and injury. -
Oh one of those guys eh… It’s not a nut actually, it’s a legume.
Aye, activ8 is right, it isn’t technically a nut, but it’s a perfectly viable source of fats and calories. Almonds are better for sure but I didn’t think that was your question so answered directly.
Loads of people including pros eat PB on a regular basis. Especially if on a budget as you say. I find almond butter is usually twice the price of peanut butter.Personally I just love the stuff and I’ll not have a word said against it! haha 😉

Yep, too heavy. Back has to kick in to hold the load. Go lighter, focus on the eccentric and contract the glutes like mad during the concentric. You don’t really need to go that heavy for these. Once hams start to fatigue you will definitely feel it in the back as they start to fail. That’s my experience anyway.
Make sure your form is on point for these too, hinging at the hips and sticking your arse out, straight/neutral back and neck. -
Love peanut butter. No reason you can’t use it as a fat source if you use one with just nuts and no sugars and shit. Nuts are commonly used as a fat source ????
-
Haha look forward to giving it a go. Downloaded last night ????
Baptist_85 on PS4 if you want to add for some Fortnite amusement ???? -
Alright cheers
-
Try it and see. Works for some. Personally I think it’s another fad people are jumping on but some people can make it work for them.
-
Either. Depends on time available and how your recovery is.
You might find hiit impacts your recovery too much.
Ultimately fat loss comes down to net energy expenditure, calorie deficit, doesn’t matter how you achieve it. -
A lot of people still use them but Corinne had two tests come back with wrong results recently.
