When body weight rises fast but your appetite and digestion are still in a good spot then it could be down to being tight in areas like the guys suggest.

Physio work and don’t underestimate the importance of daily stretching, especially as you push weight up. Once your mobility is shot it’s very time consuming to regain it again and you are at more risk of injury mate

Felt very good today. Due to the fact I had to rest so soon on this run Ive lowered my volume and total work slightly. Less sets and for now straight sets only. I’m now in a deficit. Once you are in a deficit I’m growing no new muscle! The aim now is to keep the muscle I gained in the offseason period. While taking fat off. How is this done? Strength mainly! If you loose your strength you loose the ability to hold that new tissue and no amount of volume or intensity techniques will save you. Especially when the muscle was built on a low volume strength basis.

Another rest day today. Much needed. My legs are tired and I’ve lost 7lbs this week and It’s showed in my physique and pushed me a little too flat too quick. Kuba ordered an extra days rest and now I feel refreshed and ready to go.

Enjoy your birthday man. If you aren’t on prep enjoy some of the finer things. It doesn’t have to be a blow out for the full day but if you fancy something have it.

If eating a lot off plan makes you feel uneasy and stressed then this is obviously counter productive so I would advise to plan your day in this case, give yourself a higher calorie allowance, then use the food the next few days as fuel in the gym

I’m my experience I always found the anadrol sides to be a little worse personally. Next time i would run less mg total to avoid the sides.

Techno gym smith like Oscar said is solid and smooth. Be cautious of smith machines with no cables and a counter balance weight within them. Some of the older cheaper ones are simply just on bearings and they are awful and very unforgiving.

Decent pull session today. Warming up my lower back was shot. I did one warm up with 1pps for the RDL and it felt horrendous, I spoke to Kuba and he told me to miss it today so the session was comprised of no lower loading. A very basic session but effective. After a rest tomorrow and a machine supported leg day this will be enough to off set my fatigue from lower loading and be able to go in hard again. It’s not always about training until your
Buried and bleed, sometimes it’s about learning from your past experiences to be able to keep progressing.

Look at hitting maintenance calories in the cruise phase. Being in a big surplus here could see things getting sloppy which would only force you to mini cut after when we ideally want to be in a growing phase for as much time as possible.

Lowering food will also help with digestion and allow you to keep pushing for longer after.

Training wise I see no reason for anybody to get weaker in a cruise phase. Volume management and being careful not to allow accumulative fatigue to build.

This can be done by slight reduction in volume. Removing all forced reps, RP sets, drop sets and even “grinder” reps. Just straight no bullshit sets, it’s hard to “back off” here mentally but in doing so you will keep and progress strength allowing you to keep all that hard earned tissue. Then once you start back on cycle you are even stronger than when you last came off and you can keep building from there.

I like to eat when I’m fully relaxed and ready for food. I check my blood glucose every week or so before a post meal too just to make sure Im ready and my BG isn’t still high from the intra. I’m usually ready around 20-25 mins post workout. I also finish my intra drink 20mins before the end of my session too allow time for digestion.

Decent push session for me today. All lifts up or holding. I woke up very flat this morning after the monster leg session the other day.

I’m now in that really horrible stage that I call “fat and flat” where your not lean yet but you are getting flat and it makes you look worse, almost a skinny fat haha. I’m comfortable with this though, I’ve been here many times before and I know my physique never truly comes into its own until I’m around an 8 week out condition mark I’d say, that’s when things really take off for me shape and look wise.

Tomorrow is the big RDL day so I’m both shitting myself and excited at the same time. Possibly a 270/280 depending on how I feel on the warm ups.

Rested up today. My body is feeling beat up so I hit my cardio and got my steps in through a couple of walks. In between i chilled out watching tv. Last meal going in now and should be fresh to hit tomorrow hard again

This is completely individual. It will depend on your split, frequency, your own recovery capabilities , how active you are outside the gym, how intense you can train. In my opinion it’s always better to start with less, listen to the feedback your body and your logbook gives you and build up from there if needed.

It’s two completely different things. Moving a weight from A to B and challenging the muscle. You will see bodybuilders lifting lots of weight on compounds especially but you need to remember this is likely years and years of meticulous work to be able to move a big load while putting all the force through the muscle intended.

I agree with rich in the fact that some movements you just won’t feel. Your Bio mechanics won’t suit every exercise. Find one that feels good and get very strong at it

Well and truly smashed. I feel like I’ve been ran over by a bus after legs. I fucking love it i won’t lie.

It’s time like these where being able to micro manage your sessions and actually pick apart the details to weather you need things to change is what will keep you progressing.

Safety squat has been in a number of weeks now. I expressed my concern to Kuba about it being in at this current time and phase but we decided to stick with it in our respective sessions.

Week on week as we get lighter it reduce our ability to brace as hard as in the middle of an off season where food and drugs are high (as well as the belly a little bigger). The safety squat is all about skill and bracing. Session after session I was slowly loosing the ability to preform this movement correctly with the load I needed. More back and glutes were being used and with an RDL in a few sleeps it would inevitably be effected after accumulating more fatigue every week.

I spoke to Kuba and we both agreed it was time to drop it. Hack squat will take its place, less skill, less bracing, fixed alignment and the ability to contract and target the muscle much more.

A much needed rest day tomorrow.
