hey Jamie ! I often hear people saying food needs to be progressed throughout a gaining phase just like training/strength. But how often do we actually should increase food ?
If I am gaining weight for 2-3 months on the same calories and strength goes up I guess I can just stay at the same calories ?

thank u

Hey bud I often keep calories the same for long periods especially if progression in training is occurring and bodyweight rises. Absolutely no need to increase food there.
If weight is stable and performance is good I’ll hold food at times to improve appetite and composition also.

I like to run in weekly additions

So 20 for 1 week
Then 40 week 2
60 week 3
80 week 4
100 week 5

Week off and start cycle again from 20

In your case for 7 weeks use you could hold out at 100 for longer but I don’t like to push more than that

Big push session going down today!!

Need to check whats on the menu but I think it’s super sized machine press ?

I’m with hilly and Kuba here

I don’t have any of my clients take any less than 4iu per day split into 2 and 2

It’s one of those as Kuba said where it will assist what you are trying to do but not to a massive degree

You will still add fat and still need to clean things up periodically

I guess it’s a personal choice based on ones budget also

Rest day today

Check ins with clients boxed off

Got some guys making some serious progress and some with very limited kit at home which is very commendable and inspiring

All of you training at home and still on your shit well bloody done honestly ??

[jamie christian-johal]

I agree with the guys comment’s, it would be nice to see what this guy looks like and a bit about his training history. Most people don’t need to take half the things they do. EVERYONE should educate themselves as much as possible before taking there first cycle never mind insulin.

I’m interested to know what this guy thinks he’s going to notice from taking insulin?

Is he serious to the point where he even follows a daily meal plan/diet?

Pull boxed off, was happy with the session as my lower back was feeling rather iffy this am like i’d slept funny but I have been experiencing back pains after push sessions almost like doms but this was more severe. I’ve thought about this and put it down to over head movements where I arch my back a little and in the press when all that weight is baring down I guess its quite a vulnerable position for the lower back.

Food for thought and something to work on.

Hoping everyone is ok and smashing life 🙂

Good discussion and check in with the boss man. These are the cycle changes 19 weeks out. Tren removed as we will utilise that down the line now calories are a little lower we don’t need that in to recomp as that will occur naturally with declining calories as we push on.

Hey Jamie are you planning to do a pct/cruise before prep start? [/quote]
Nope, I cruised before this cycle buddy. This is the prep cycle.

I have by no means good calfs but you gotta make them really burn, try holding 5-10 seconds in each set and varying each set style, angle and rep range.

Key to calfs is mix it up and hammer them ??

Meal 3 on rest day going in, powering up for the week ahead.
Nothing really to report, all good here ??

[jamie christian-johal]

thanks thats what i tought so, i don’t understand why when i get my bodyfat tested it always gives me a much lower number than what i think i look like

How do you test your body fat?

[jamie christian-johal]

Nice rest day today, some terrible games on warzone tho ??

[jamie christian-johal]

As others ask, why are you questioning your coaches methods? The plan he laid out looks solid but it is a plan in principal only.
Prep goes where prep goes and you adapt to situations along the way.
Just listen to your coach and stop confusing things further.

If things still increase by 12.5. Max usage for me would be 37.5 tbh and then after show taper back in 12.5 weekly cuts ??
