    what are you eating pre legs?

    what are you taking in terms of intra workout nutrition – you may be experiencing low BG

    100g cor

    100g frozen berries

    40g whey

    30g honey

    Squares bar

    Intra:

    50g cyclic dextrin

    Add fats to the pre workout meal – if it is a BG issue then its likely being caused by the fast acting carbs pre gym causing a insulin spike and forcing BG low [/quote]Should this be done for every session or just legs where I have the BG issue? Thanks again

    Maybe reduce the amount you’re eating pre and have more in your post meal, once you feel ready to eat. Also make sure you’re salting your meals well and are well hydrated before you go into the gym, not just during training.

    Like I said above though, some people are just more susceptible to feeling nauseous during intense training, so make sure you’re resting properly between sets to allow some lactic acid to subside.

    I would look at what you’re eating pre workout how close to training you’re eating and also intra what are you having. How long you’re training for? If it’s super hot are you drinking enough? Or are you drinking enough anyway. Have you had enough salt?

    There’s lots of things it could be it’s all about narrowing it down trialling different things to work out what’s causing it

    Okay thankyou, I am eating my pre work meal 1.30hrs before. But today has been boiling hot so hydration could be the issue

    I also had some quick sugar post session and post throwing up, and that seemed to pick me up quite quickly so wondered if it was a hypoglycaemia problem?

    I think most of us feel fatigued and spaced out after an intense Leg session. In regards to feeling sick, some are more susceptible to this than others. It can be due to blood bring carried to the muscles, heart and lungs and away from the digestive system, so if youve eaten close to your workout it can cause nausea. Some Preworkouts and Intras can also have this affect. A lactic acid build up in the body is another possible reason for feeling sick. Poor hydration can be another cause.

    I would look at your Peri workout nutrition. Make sure you’re always well hydrated and make sure to rest adequately between sets and doing a productive amount of volume.

    Okay perfect thankyou

    What does your weight do after an off day on the same diet as a training day? If it jumps up then just lower carbs to an amount that keeps it stable. If it doesn’t really change then just keep it the same and as you increase food just add to your training days

    Normally jumps a little bit on morning after off day so will drop carbs a little and monitor things from there, thankyou

    Even based of these two pictures I would strongly advise to end the cut and getting growing bud. Don’t waste value time here, get into a surplus and push bodyweight up steadily for a decent amount of months

    Okay thankyou, time to grow

    As hilly says too I’d be pushing protein in those meals. Get more egg whites in

    So increase egg whites to 3 rather than 1, also gonna increase the M3 whey by 10g [/quote]
    Ye so we want around 25/30g protein per meal at least to spike mps[/quote]

    Hey buddy! It is upto you really! I would likely pull atkeast a bagel out of meal 1. Some people like to have low carbs during the morning/ daytime then have them at night. Others like to do it the other way round. You could also just have smaller amounts of carbs with each meal in the day.

    Will drop the bagel and Chuck it in M5
