Not a fan as it bloats me. Agree with Kerry in that sourdough is a great sub.

Hi will

So I still can’t see your pics so I’m unable to comment here.

It’s good to know this training plan when you were in a bulk you made a lot of Progress. Do you think you need to overhaul your whole training split.

Something that stands out that if you ran this split during a cut too I’d imagine your numbers dropped off a fair bit / the weights you are lifting and rep ranges could be more varied.

For example shoulder press for 6 reps and 5 reps Is low. I’d be looking to work through a variety of reps ranges across your training split for example

7-10 / 8-12 / 12-15 reps to create a new training stimulus to your muscle fibres

Thank you for the advice, I don’t know how to upload pictures tried everting I got 😂[/quote]

It’s all preferences I think.

If you enjoy those movements and you can progress and recover, why not?

Personally I only do 2 x sets of a press per Upper and I am getting stronger at it. If I change it whilst I’m making headway, it would be daft.

Being out of the gym for a bit at 18 won’t harm your progress too much. You’ve got all those years of lifting to come and all the natural ingredients at their highest levels to utilise when you get fit again. You’ll hold your muscle easier and you’ll progress quickly once safe to do so.

Adam and the guys make good suggestions, I can’t add anything they haven’t covered, but keep us updated on this as it’ll help others in your situation.

Give it a go. Do it as it is programmed. I think there was a dude on here asking about it a while ago, but putting his own spin on it and tweaking things…don’t do that!

Let us know how it goes.

I’ve used it in the past, not because I have GI issues, just because I wanted to try it and it was easy to digest thus meaning I could have a bit extra per meal.

Are there any adjustable-bench brands to recommend?

Atlantis. Sturdy and not too tall for if you do a cable row/pull (with other benches sometimes you can’t see over them when they’re upright).

Or something similar.

Dial-In is the one.

Just don’t pick up the wrong tub and have 3 scoops of DNFM or you’ll just end up grabbing the interviewer and military pressing them for reps. 😆

I think we’d need to see your split in full to fully help. It may be just an issue with programming or volume etc.

In the absence of the above, I’d recommend putting your shoulder work first in your sessions and ensuring your sets are quality and intense.

I’ve always used aminos, creatine and glutamine in my intra and L-Citrulline in Pumpage. although I’ve never really consumed much content by Milos personally.

Generally you’ll flush the muscle with blood as a result of accurate and intense training, unless you’re in the latter phase of a big fat loss/prep where pumps tend to be lessened.

Maddy’s covered it.

Your question here is essentially “Hi guys, I’m super fresh and feel mega, why do I wake up after a good night’s sleep?” 😆

Well done on pulling that weight off. 👏🏼

Look to progress everywhere anywhere. I think people use a diet/deficit/prep as an excuse to not go after progressions.

Stick the 0.25 on. Get 7 if you have 7 in you. If 8 shows itself, grab it.

7×100.25 instead of 8×100 feels like regression though?!

[/quote]Did you progress weight? Yes.

Did your last rep stimulate an adaptive response? I hope so so we will say yes.

Where’s the regression in that?

The reason you do higher lighter reps/lower heavier reps in session where frequency is high is to manage fatigue into the next session and the session after and so on. If I did heavy upper and heavy legs in a full body session, you can bet I won’t be able to train either of those again in 2 sleeps with any progress made. My mentality might still get me in the gym, but I wouldn’t perform well.

So essentially, you do heavy upper work on a FBEOD on Monday, Wednesday you just top it up, Friday you hit it heavy again, Sunday another top up and your leg work would be on the alternate days.

Doing this also allows you to focus on upper muscles one day, lower the next with different biases (order, volume, exercise selection etc).

Into your second point… why can’t you progress them movements? Sets going on too long? As Oscar said, it doesn’t need to be 20+ reps. 12-15 is perfectly fine.

Just a question, if both rep ranges – high and low – are at the same intensity, aren’t the high reps more damaging and fatiguing in theory? If so, my mind says, keep the reps low, just change the intensity if you would like to have a part of the fb day to be less taxing. Am I completely wrong or does it work out in a different way in reality?[/quote]
Target muscle, yes, CNS, no.
Every set should be done with intensity, regardless. Heavy SLDLs EOD vs 15-20 reps Seated Ham Curls EOD?

Having a balance of alternate work in your sessions allows you to manage this well.
