My issue with that number of rotations is that it doesn’t give you the same frequency of a certain exercise, thus potentially limiting your chances of progression said lift.
But realistically if you have say 4 rotations yet your exercise setup was similar for each, I can’t see it making too much of a difference. -
not that many out there, but yohimbine would certainly help. Potential benefits of certain ingredients like cayenne pepper extract, black coffee bean extract, etc… but essentially just creating a deficit.

Ground rice and cream of rice are not the same thing, hence the name… much prefer the COR, creamier (obviously), finer and less gritty.

Yes Hamish, but those are calories now not available for your weight session. There is also a potential for the interference affect between cardiovascular and resistance exercises, with both requiring the use of different pathways.
But that’s being picky…

Just depends what your ‘cardio’ looks like Rotties…

I’m 100% with James here, get the activity done first thing THEN focus solely on training and recovering. Sometimes I find myself thinking that I should be more active after seeing others always out walking but then remember I’ve already got it done and anything more would be counter productive.

Another indication would be gym performance, so whether lifts are plateauing or even declining following a certain amount of volume. Energy levels throughout the day may also indicate both physical and nervous system fatigue.
You could even delve into markers such as HRV and fasted blood glucose (FBG) but often that isn’t needed and over analysing.

I personally do a similar thing Evan as I have no issues with digestion. It may however not be ideal as giving the body another high protein/carb meal to digest and then also utilise in such a small time period may not be as beneficial as say 2hr 30mins apart. What is the post post meal and could you stay up longer?

How is dark chocolate possibly a suitable replacement for whey?

If you want something you can hold in your hands to eat, such as the rice krispies bars, you could make homemade oat bars if you want to seem a bit more ‘bro’. Easy recipe:
oats (your choice on amounts)
coconut oil
Optional – Honey, nut butter, fruit1. Melt coconut oil
2. Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix
3. Place ingredients into a foil covered tuppawear and shape mixture into a bar shape
4. Wrap ‘bar’ with the foil and place into freezer to allow oil to solidify
5. Keep bar relatively cool throughout the day if you want more of a solid barYou could easily have this with a protein shake, you can even add a protein powder to the initial mixture for more flavor.

higher reps are very underrated for quad development and 100% attribute it to when my legs looked their best! Yes there’s scope for heavy compounds but I feel that glutes and hamstrings contribute greatly to these lifts too!
Do a 5 rep set of squats, then do a 20… which beat up your quads more?
Also a big fan of performing extensions prior to compounds; have done that since day 1.

If you have no digestive issues with whey, there have been studies to suggest no significant difference in overall MPS response between casein hydrolysate (pepto pro) ingestion intra WO as opposed to whey. This would be a much cheaper alternative, providing it doesn’t cause issues.

What’s the greatest GDA… HARD TRAINING!! It’s not needed intra and resistance training in itself has a partitioning affect, activating GLUT 4 transports and also there is suggestion that certain GDAs can negatively impact on protein synthesis, so taking at this time wouldn’t be optimal.

@caidin any half decently flavoured EAA product would easily mask Leucine!! I use Redcon1 Grunt with 3gs addition Leucine and it tastes amazing

Following on from your youtube video mate, with regards the pepto pro and HBCD, what company do you use? Also great video to get more of an insight into where you’re at with the diet/training. Will this week a regular thing (when changes are made)?
