Sometimes too much fibre can cause constipation, particularly from insoluble fibre from some vegetables, so that could potentially be your issue. 100g of veg per meal over 5 meals a day is quite high.

Have a look at the Diet Planner on here. Input your details and it will give you an idea of where to start. Obviously this won’t necessarily be 100% accurate as everyone is genetically different, have different lives, stress levels, activity levels etc, but it will give you a base line. If you begin gaining weight then you’ll know you need to drop some calories, if you’re losing then you’ll know you need to add some. If you’re maintaining, then bingo!

Either use your will power and stop at 2 or cut them out. If you find that sweet foods trigger cravings and could cause you to overeat, then maybe switch to more of a savoury post workout meal instead.

Yep, but they have just reformulated it, taking out ingredients that aren’t legal in the EU so that they could sell it here and it didn’t happen with the old formula (same caffeine dose).

Because that was my initial thought: caffeine content. I may try half a scoop tomorrow and see if that still gives me similar symptoms.

For mental focus, would I be better with Modafinil and a pump product do you think?

Also, I train fasted on a morning (except my Intra workout EAA’s & Carbs) so I know its not food because it happens prior to ingestion of my Intra.

———————
You may just be sensitive to one of the ingredients then or it’s aggravating your stomach because it’s empty. I would avoid it if it continues as the last thing you want is digestive issues before training. The PREpare is an incredible product for focus and pump if that doesn’t give you the same issues.

Do you have one full scoop of the MVPre? If so, my initial thought would be the high caffeine dose.

Weight was 51.6kg this morning, so another little drop. Still apprehensive as to whether I’ll be ready, but we’re doing everything we can, so we’ll see. I’m so used to being in condition a lot further out, so the mental games are getting to me!

Legs today and Jordan lowered my volume again slightly for this workout. Hack squat felt super heavy today, but everything else went really well.

Lying hamstring curl – 1 set of 8-10, 1 set 12-15
Hack squat – 2 sets of 8-10
Leg Press – 1 set of 20
Leg extension – 1 set of 12-15
Dual hyper – 1 bodyweight set
Abductor – 1 rest pause set
Adductor – 1 rest pause set
Leg raises for abs – 2 bodyweight sets of 20
Toe press – 3 sets of 10-12

Hi Clare used for push session and was surprised how well it mixed, remember people using years ago and seemed a bit thicker! First impressions got a wild pump!
Was going to ask this question separate Clare to yourself and Corrine, but do you believe in carb tolerant people or just calories in general, had a test done few years ago, was poliquins bio signature but was sceptical to say the least, apparently I’m very carb tolerant being mixed race?! Strange! But do seem to be able to pound the carbs especially around training!
Have trialled various things over the years, like high fat low carb ect, higher carb lower fats..with cals being around the same roughly and do seem to look a lot better on lower fats higher carbs, seem to get bigger and leaner!!
Also I train natty not that that’s that important! Thanks!

Some people are able to utilise carbs better than others and some people find that higher fats suit them better. I think this is just a case of trial and error and would be hesitant to change your diet because of a bio signature test. Go by how you feel, energy levels, how productive your workouts are, digestion etc.

And to your other question, yes I favour higher carbs on training days, particularly pre, intra and post workout and predominantly higher fat/pro meals on rest days to keep insulin sensitivity high.

Don’t panic! Increase water, reduce carbs and go back to your pre contest diet for a few days and then slowly reintroduce carbs around your workout window first. Keep some fasted cardio in.

Which ever way you feel the exercise works the best for you. I have ditched the dumbbells and purely use cables for my lateral work now as I feel these far better and eliminates any chance of momentum.

If it digests well for you, then no issues. Some people find it doesn’t sit as well as cyclic dextrin and can cause spikes and crashes in blood sugar, but you won’t know unless you try it!

If you want to cut out caffeine to re-sensitise, then it’s better to just cut it all out for several days rather than taper down. You may feel a bit crappy for a couple of days, but it will be better than dragging out the process imo.

There’s no point in consuming anything that causes you digestive issues as you won’t be utilising the nutrients. Shakes aren’t essential, they’re simply a convenient way of getting protein in, so I would either swap to a whole food protein source or if you want to use a shake then a beef isolate might be a good alternative to try.

Certain vitamins like the B vits and vit C may cause urine to look a bright yellow colour. Water soluble vitamins aren’t stored by the body and so the excess is flushed out on a daily basis. Perfectly normal, so don’t worry.
