As a dependant, I’m able to join some of the classes or events that are held at the military camp gym I have access to, so today decided to try reformer pilates for the first time. I occasionally jump in on the circuit training, but haven’t ever tried this before. I thought it was just a bit of stretching and core work, but it was ALOT tougher than I anticipated!
I’m glad I gave it a go and will probably be something I’ll dip in and out of as and when.

Try both ways and see what suits you best. Things like this are so individual and will depend on your lifestyle, energy needs, digestion, personal preference and performance/recovery.
I would personally prefer to have the majority of my carbs pre and post, but during a gaining phase, when food is higher, also have some in my other meals.

I would keep things as they are for now, try and get some form of cardio in place, then see how your body responds and react accordingly. If the rate of gain begins to increase, then reduce food, otherwise you may find that your body adjusts and uses those extra calories.

I went in to train Legs this morning and had a really good session. Strength felt amazing for some reason, but I’ll take it!
Body weight is where I want it to be right now and where I feel most comfortable physically, mentally and performance-wise.

MemberSeptember 23, 2025 at 7:55 am in reply to: How lean should you get before a growth phaseI would agree with Michaela. Get as lean as you can before performance and recovery begins to suffer significantly, or food focus takes over.

Thanks so much. I will try. Could you tell me about dosage. If not i will investigate about it . But thank you very much.
Look into Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) as a natural ibuprofen alternative. This alongside Join-In and Cure-Coming should help significantly in reducing pain and inflammation.
Long term Ibuprofen use can increase the risk of stomach ulcers, as well as kidney and heart issues, so I would never recommend this.

300-600mg twice a day should be effective.

Today’s been a rest day and productive day so far! A mixture of work, appointments and a run thrown in. I’m going to make sure I get out for a walk later on too while the sun is shining!

Agree with Jordan. Take it before you eat.

Magnesium Bisglycinate is the most bioavailable and cause the least digestive discomfort (500-1000mg Magnesium Bisglycinate)
Take around 30 mins pre bed. Tbjp Dream Sleep contains Magnesium Bisglycinate, but also has other ingredients in it that will help you have a more restorative sleep.

I fancied to do a long run today instead of the gym, so did a 10km after some food this morning, which felt really good.
The rest of the day has been chilling with the family and getting ready for the week ahead.

I wouldn’t ever doing any kind of extreme diet. If your specific concern is gut and digestive health, then the carnivore diet could lack the nutrients and fibre you would get from plant matter needed to support a healthy gut, as well as potentially disrupting the microbiome.
If you’re having digestive issues, then remove foods you suspect to be triggers for a couple of weeks, then reintroduce foods one at a time and make a diary of symptoms. Adding in fermented foods such as kimchi would be beneficial too.

I would take on board what Kuba has advised here. How much protein were you on during your cut?

I’ve had a lovely chilled day so far with my husband. We went out for coffee this morning and a walk along the quay, then visited a local Italian cafe for some lunch, had a walk around the shops and bought a couple of bits for the house, then headed back home. I’m going to get on with some work now while my husband does a cycle, then we’re going to have a movie night together later.

I think you’re doing great. Scale increases are never linear and initially might be a little more sporadic. I wouldn’t change anything just yet.
