Is it worth adding pauses to movements for the back off or down sets whatever people like to call it to add a little more accuracy. I will never get sloppy with exercise: and like to remain in control whole time but just to make sure for certain that the correct muscles are doing the work.

SLDL stalled. Which will more than likely produce greater erector stimulus out of a conv deadlift with a top set normal and a down set that’s paused or an RDL with normal straight sets

Due to personal reason my test levels plummeted at 16. I’m now 19 and still find that I’m on low side with test levels being around 12nmol/L in recent blood tests. I know fats play a key role in hormone production so was curious at best calculation for fat intake to make sure there in best possible place they can be.

Recently had my testosterone checked and the results came back as 13.4nmol/L. Just wondering if this is something to be concerned with at 19 years old as I know it’s on the low end. I’m natural

I’ve just been catching up on some the education vids this evening and was curious I never did upper lower split as I started out with full body for football then once stopped playing moved straight to push pull legs. I’m by no means the biggest and I want to to progress as much as possible so was curious would it be a good move to go back to…

I’m looking to change the SLDL to another variation as it’s stalled and was wondering what would be best out of the conv deadlift and the RDL for the erectors.

I’m a big overthinker when it comes to my training and I’m always feeling like it’s not enough and I should be doing more as I’m currently running the P/P/L rest push+arms and density day and on my chest focused push I’m alrwdy doing 4 sets of direct chest presses 2 sets of dips and 2 sets of flys yet I still feel the need to add more and…

I’ve had the SLDL in consistently for 12 months now and progressed it from 80kg up to 135kg. However last 3 rotations it’s stalled and this rotation it actually regressed. Is this now the perfect time for me to swap it out for an RDL and run that for a long time

I don’t take any AAS no.

Going to give the journal and writing g what to do tomorrow down a go cos I’m a big overthinker and always struggled with anxiety so do find at times before bed my mind is going a million miles an hour so maybe if I get it all out this could help

I’m having huge issues with sleep currently as I live in student halls at uni. I’m up multiple times a night and can’t seem to be get more than 7 hours sleep if even that.

I supplement with 5-htp, ashwaganda,magnesium and zinc 60-90 mins before bed. I wear the blue light blocking glasses in evening and avoid using too many bright lights. I…

I’m currently at uni so training times vary due to lecture times would it matter when I do cardio or as long as it just gets done for example morning work lectures in afternoon then cardio in evening. I’m in a gaining phase atm so it’s just for health benefits 2-3x week

Thank you very much. can’t get better than an awnser from the man himself so appreciate it

I’ve been through whole forum and reading up on this and been driving my self crazy with this as I know it’s simple but I keep over thinking it.

I then set myself at 1.5g per lb of lean body mass only from direct protein sources as from what I read I think was a good place to be but I’m now second guessing it again.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Perfect thank you all guys I find it better to track.

Would you say the way I calculated it is ok or should be adjusted?

Is it best just to count protein from direct sources for example ive just been doing lean bw roughly x 1.25 to get the amount of protein I need so 130 x 1.25 which is 165 there abouts or should I be doing whole intake including trace

When u say 2g of protein per kg are u meaning from direct sources or overall intake

Okay thank you all very much for the advice and information found it very helpful

These are earliest ones I could find probably around the middle/end point of recovery phase was probably a year before I got discharged in this image

Sure I’ll see if I can find some photos for u may be hard as I don’t think I ever really took any at that dark point

It’s sports nutrition as I’m studying sport and exercise science. Specifically the level of protein consumption as he said it was too high and going to damage my kidney as it wouldn’t be able to handle it over long term

Was a sports nutrition lecture he was concerned about kidney health and said I could be at risk of kidney failure and should look to reduce it a bit for my bw

Hi all

I’ve been following macros of 35% pro, 45% carb, 20% fat on TD and then 35% pro, 40% carb, 25% fat NTD getting around atleast 1.5g pro per lb bw.

However in my nutrition module at uni we were discussing macro nutrients as that was topic of seminar and the lecturer seemed concerned at these percentages and I’m just wondering am I doing…

Ok thank you I’ll look at splitting it into a kneeling ham curl and then a seated ham curl as have the lying on density day

Woud you be a able to do an SLDL and a barbell row in same session to maximally load up the erectors as that’s what’s the day is all about or would I be better putting one on the other pull day

its my only hamstring movement of the day as the leg day is quad focused as i have a density day that has a larger amount of hamstring volume

Saw you said u adjusted the volume for the push day you did today was just curious to see how it’s laid out now

Was just wondering whether 4 sets would be too much for a singular exercise that only has one resistance profile

Current look atm

Nothing very impressive yet

Hey guys. I’m 19 and have been properly training for just under 2 years now and have been discharged for anorexia about 1.5 years ago too as a little backstory as progress hasnt been substantial imo. I’m currently studying sport and exercise science and hope to be able to do PT/coaching in the future. im currently at 65kg after pushing up…

at the moment when i go onto education section i am unable to see any of the educational videos however a couple days ago i was able to wondering if anyone else is having this issue and how to fix it

Okay thank you all very helpful info

Perfect going to continue then as love a bit of dark chocolate

I haven’t had any effects from doing it when having pre bed meal just was curious as to whether it would be affecting my sleep quality but sounds like I should be all good as max having 30g

was just wondering whether the caffeinated effects of dark chocolate if eaten in the evening would disrupt sleep and sleep quality

Ok thank you I’ll move it to a meal not around training window

So best to remove the veg from post workout and place it in another meal

Just wondering whether veg is ok in post workout meals or whether it’ll delay digestion slightly

Thank you I’ll have a look at some COR too then

Is COR a much better option than cereal

Ok thank you going to get on it straight away as I would love to train density day tomorrow but I know it would absolutely bury me

Would you need to finish training week before beginning a devolume or if it’s due can you begin it straight away as I have 2 more training days left of week but feel very fatigued and not sure they would be productive sessions

I just used the diet planner and inputted my details and at 65kg/144lbs it has me at 310g protein is this correct
