The facts are when in a surplus fats are more likely to be stored as fat so I do prefer to keep them on the lower side. Max 1g per kg LBM when bulking although some do get on better with higher fats granted.

What is your current total n food layout.

Most should be able to hit 4-600g without much stress if the food choices are correct

@hilly Can you expand on that first comment? Why would fats be more likely stored as fat in a surplus rather than carbs or protein? Surely if you’re over eating you’ll gain fat what ever the macro? I’d have thought that fat and protein would have been the lesser of two evils due to insulin resistance etc? [/quote]

Think of the process biologically of fats. Stores energy.

Have a listen to this. It’s very enlightening if it’s the right one. He’s a fair bit eccentric but very clever n highly educated on the actual science of the body not bodybuilding science.

Just bare with him as he gets excited but it’s a good watch. I imagine once you watch this you’ll watch a lot of his stuff.

Most on here may not like it as he makes what most of us do seem silly from a biological stand point in terms of low carbs on rest days but he’s
Not a bodybuilder so it’s a little different maybe or maybe not hhhmmm

Very common indeed.

Zantac n rennies usually help.

If not go docs for lanzaprazol

Look for a more soluble fibre focused supplement.

Magnesium citrate 4-800mg pre bed will help to.

Try splitting the husk into 5g on waking n 5g pre bed.

I would recommend a high quality if using berberine.

TrainedByJP insure as this in and IMO one capsule Is enough per carb meal.

Food choices and digestion are the main things that cause this IMO.

Correcting it comes down to diet

So the above are all focused on comp prep done a specific way.

However there is more evidence that a 4-7 diet break at maintenance helps reset the right things and stop metabolism slowing than a refeed.

It’s a very popular method used with natural athletes n the evidence based d
Crowd and no doubt works. However these guys tend to use 16-20 week preps/diets so have the time to take a week at maintenance.

If it’s a short diet then as above I would n do prefer refeed days

It can certainly be done. It’s maybe not as effective as when doing so with carbs although there is lots of science to show carbs are not directly needed.

Why not look to increase kcal
N follow a paleo n see how things go. If you feel that good I’d not be in a hurry to change things.

If I was going to add carbs in I would look to do a carb back loading approach. Lots of info online n I’ve recently done a 3 post explanation on my insta

So I’m 8 weeks out of my first competition and it just so happens so that i play rugby as well. Obviously I know that this isn’t ideal. But I think I can manage it for a few more weeks before fatigue kicks in. Currently training for rugby thursdays and games on Saturday. Last night I noticed that towards the back end of training I simply had nothing left in my legs and struggled to run. Would it be a wise choice to increase carb intake on days i have rugby? Or suck it up and get on with it.?

So this is just going to happen unfortunately.

What I would try and do is the following.

Train legs on Friday so they have a day either side to recover and don’t effect your rugby training and match.
Treat training day as a medium carb day – I would add in extra carbs pre training.

I would have a higher day or free meal the night before a game so glycogen stores are fully loaded for the match.

This is how I base some clients I have that play rugby/football at higher levels.

So here it is, the next cycle. As always I’ll be completely transparent with how we’re going to run things and attack this blast.

Yes the cycle is large – to me anyway, this will be the largest cycle I’ve ran to date but there is enough reward to warrant the risk in my eyes.

Imo opinion this is not a cycle that any average gym goer should be attempting or any lower level competitor.

High end amateur with the possibility of turning pro with a number of years cycling different compounds already. There’s just no need to jump into a cycle like this unless you’ve been doing it for years and have huge goals that mite warrant its place.

So here it is –

750mg test – more test = more water retention and possibly appetite suppression so 750 is starting orders
700 dhb a very nice compound I’ve been using through this cruise
500 EQ
500 npp
25mg am/pm proviron
T4 100mcg pm to counter act t3/t4 down reg from Gh
Gh ansomone trying 4iu x 4 shots a day total 16iu daily training days 8iu rest days – will assess water retention and go from there.
40iu lantis slow slin
6iu rapid slin Pre 10iu post
25 aromasin eod

Let’s see how this goes ????????

dammmm that’s a sexy looking cycle. Can I ask what lab of the DHb you are using and if the jabs are painful or ok? Something I havnt used yet but want to in next growing phase.
