Hi JP, really liking the shift in training focus as of late to a more ‘intent’ focus. I think a combination of your progressive overload approach with B Pak/Joe B’s focus on muscle recruitment definitely create la the most optimal environment for hypertrophy as you’ve mentioned.
I’ve been employing similar methods in training, in the attempt to get away from primarily focus on getting stronger at movements and to get stronger in the actual contractile range of muscle groups – do you feel this potentially takes away from the energy expenditure in sessions relative to what you would usually expend , primarily from being forced to decrease loads?
So far I have definitely felt each set doesn’t leave my HR as high. Just curious to your thoughts on this..

Are you not following JP’s training protocols anymore? It was exciting to watch the start of your journey to getting ridiculously strong and to see how that would translate to your look next year!
Clearly your own methods are tried and tested having built a world class physique, but I thought you had given the reigns to Jordan in regards to training to see what the new stimulus could bring

I’ve recently made the switch from HBCD to Maltodextrin simply to save about £40 a month.
As long as there are no gastric issues during training and it doesn’t affect you being able to digest your post workout meal then a carb powder is a carb powder imo with same benefits to be reaped

JP has a video on the site that covers the full protocol that he recommends

Never even came to mind but that is probably the best recommendation I’ve heard yet lol

I think the most useful thing to know would be whether or not the advised methods of increasing sperm production can be used throughout AAS use with the intention of offsetting future issues years down the line when wanting to have children becomes imminent , or are they only suitable when specifically wanting to conceive?

So when exactly would one implement what you initially recommended – “hCG, clomid and hMG are run in order to increase sperm production”
On cycle? During cruises? Or when one is completely coming off with the intention of conceiving?

Is that still the case using such protocols that Dr Dean mentioned? Or is that from stopping AAS use without taking specific action to increase sperm count?
“As for sperm production, when shutdown, a power PCT or cruise combining hMG and clomid to augment sperm production is what is often utilised.”

Yeah I figured it out eventually lol I had a bit of a mind block,
and intra-supplementation is typically classed as a ‘meal’ so personally I do count it but I was just trying to calculate if EAA was a cheaper alternative to PeptoPro.
Pretty much exactly the same price wise 🙁

I’m also interested in hearing a little more around this topic as it’s something always on my mind, you do see a lot of pro’s having children fairly late in their careers which I guess is re-assuring to some degree!
Is there any protocol to consider implementing ON cycle over the years of AAS use that would increase sperm count in the long term? Or are these protocols that include HCG, Clomid etc simply something that would be used as and when specifically needed to boost sperm count.
