Hi Joe,
As far as a high GI cereal post workout, is there one that’s best suited? Are the rice based ones better such as coco pops rather than maize based Frosties? Or is there nothing in it?Tbh both are probably fine so long as carbs per 100g of the cereal are high (70/80g+) and fat is low (less than 10g)

Annoyingly I dropped a 25kg thin powerlifting metal plate on my foot at the end of the session yday and it’s swelled up loads. Was bleeding too when I did it. I don’t think it’s broken as it’s not crazy pain but deffo hurts ???? Anyway I’m hoping I’ll be all good to go by the time legs comes round again

Go and see a chiro/osteo get some needling, Graston, deep tissue and manipulation. It will not just go away without treatment, you’ll probably need regular treatment for a while.

Squats today and managed to hit 240 x 6 and 200 x 13, I’m really happy with these numbers and still only the second time squatting in like 2 years. Should be some big numbers coming up over the next few weeks 🙂

If you don’t feel like you’ve made good progress so far then revert back to full body for sure. Look to standardise all movements and look to progress them all over time. This will deffo see some good improvements in strength and muscle mass.

Looks a very straight forward diet to follow! And nice slin protocol, always an interesting topic on folks methods of running it!
How you getting on with your cycle? What’s your opinion on the 500mg Deca EOD etc. You liking the progress? Any feedback off this cycleHey bud thanks mate. Slin cycle is perfect now zero hypos or sensitivity so im in a good spot! I’ve got very strong and weight is increasing nicely so I would say the high deca is doing the trick; keeping test low so we keep appetite

Perfect @giantjohal & @joe-ballinger-2 will try make a 3rd rotation. I was more focused and trying to make the workout as different as possible but I will look at switch Rep ranges and the use of dbs and barbells ????????
_________________________________________________________________________________
Changing rep ranges, or utilising a pause for example totally changes the dynamic of the set so you can do the same exercise with different executions and progress both 🙂

New alltime heavy weight today 123.2kg. Chasing down 125kg!! 2 more weeks of cycle then we cruise for 6 then we prep. It’s not going to be long before I’m back on the prep train and I can’t actually wait.
The new diet seems to be working wonders, it goes in really easy and I’m gaining weight again so can’t complain 🙂

Joe,
What time are you taking your GH and insulin with meals. Can you give it laid out for the times and what you take with/before/after the meals please.
Meal 1
Pre workout
Post workout
Meal 4
cheersHey bud ok yeah so pre meal is 90 mins pre gym then 20 mins pre I have GH and insulin as I leave for the gym I also start drinking my insta workout drink.
I come home and eat my post workout meal, soon as I have the last mouthful I have my GH and insulin again and this is my method of use.
Also using 35units of Lantus first thing on wake 🙂

I agree with Jamie I think you would stall pretty quickly doing only 4 sessions, so having another rotation in there would be ideal in my opinion. As Jamie says you have indeed have similar exercises but utilise different rep schemes or intensifier sets (drops/rest pause) from time to time too.

All sets are 2 sets, one heavier and one still heavy, but higher rep set
Lying ham
Hack (this fucked me up yaaay)
Paused leg press (pausing in the home makes it 100x harder but also standardised the form)
GHR (Savage when done right)
Leg ext
Hypers (ham/glute pump was nuts)
Adductors 2 very heavy sets
Ah crunch on cable 1 set
Dual cable curl (bicep top up)
Calves (I usually do a heavy drop set, it’s the only thing I don’t really try to log/progress because my calves are structurally big so they need minimal stimulus to grow – so if I fuck them up any way I feel, I’m good haha)
Let me know if you try it 🙂

Yes we usually wound do at when we finish a certain Muscle group so if doing full body you wound be doing more stretches but there’s evidence to suggest it helps with muscular hypertrophy as well as recovery.

I would just keep eating what your eating and gradually lower the cals until you lose a bit of weight. Then you know you’re in a deficit, then it’s game time
