Will never understand when people say ‘its easier and less hassle to weigh uncooked’… that would require you to cook daily so you know the exact amount your having each day and then reweighing to portion out.

I can definitely see a benefit, especially if the EAA product doesn’t provide 3gs+ of leucine. However, that’s a very expensive addition (especially Xtend), you could simply use pure l-leucine (myprotein and bulk powders).

What is current cardio and volume of training?
-
Do you alternate you push sessions, as in do you always start with maybe 2 chest movements before moving on to delts? If so maybe alternate between a chest and delt focused push session. You could also place additional side delt volume in on Pull days, as they will be getting stimulation from rear delt/shrug movements (providing your split allows).

If you’re truly training to failure when prescribed to within John’s programme you WILL be making progress. Surely it’s not a completely different routine each session for the whole programme, you’ll return to the same exercise after a few weeks. So compare then.

I find cold cream of rice a lot nicer than normal rice, so that’s an option you could look at trying

All that expenditure walking to and from the toilets!! Was great to meet you and refreshing to speak to such a down to earth guy, appreciate the time!!
Did you encounter any issues with your meals at all over the weekend? Did you prep them for the 3 days of did you have cooking facilities at the hotel? -
That dosage would have little to no affect on reducing the adaptive response to resistance training

Hi Corinne,
The paper is:
The Effects of Post-workout Carbs + Caffeine on Muscle Refueling, Pedersen et al. (2008).

1) What you need to remember is that this giant set style of training is a completely novel stimulus to you, hence the soreness.
2) Also the nature of giant set training is very metabolically demanding and also you have started implementing techniques such as negatives and iso holds. Both of these will result in a large metabolite build up and muscle fiber damage; a sure fire way to get SOAR!Would be interesting to see if you adapt to the style if you stick to it for your larger bodyparts.

Ah apologies, I didn’t see the second ‘post’. Within that meal I’d personally like to see a more moderate GI source and even veg/a little more fat to lower blood sugar response, that shouldn’t be present within the first post meal.
I wouldn’t recommend spiking blood sugar again with a bolus of higher GI carbs
-
Yes Josh, you’re correct to be utilizing higher GI carbs due to their rapid digestive rate and blood sugar rise. Especially during your gaining phase when satiety isn’t an issue, but ultimately the foods that digest best with you is the better option.
You can structure your diet around science all you want, but if the food doesn’t digest well with you it’s removing any benefits of these little details.
But I’d say that cereal is a very good choice in your current phase.
