    Do you rate L-carnitine Joe?

    Something I’m debating using pre cardio @500mcg.

    I see its in a lot of fat burning products, but guessing the injectable is alot better?

    Yeah injectable always better, much more bio available. It’s one of them tbh that it’s a 1%er in my opinion. If everything else is nails then yeah it’ll probs help a bit. If not, I probs wouldn’t bother.

    Honestly if you’re in a gaining phase just keep an eye on your appetite as it’s horrible for training digestion/appetite.
    If it’s not doing that much, I’d sack it off personally in off season.
    Also I’d check you’ve actually got real anadrol.

    Whats your plans going forward with kuba joe? A date set in mind to comp?

    Hey man so 8 week cut to get sensitive. Then A growth phase, although I’m still on fertility protocol so can’t smash gear but we’ll do what we can so I’m in best position possible by the time I can go again.

    Would love to compete back end of 27 if I can bro!

    Thanks for the question dude – anything else just fire away

    Awesome to see you working with Kuba!

    Just curious at the start of the plan now what your daily steps, cardio and training spilt look like?

    Also if you dont mind whenever you have time what your diet and 5 meals look like now? 💪🏻

    Hey buddy so we’re doing an 8 week mini cut, not that I’m fat or anything but just to set us up even better for a growth phase.

    So currently I’m on 12k steps (quite a bit more than I was doing), no cardio, and training is pull, push, legs, torso, limbs…

    I’ll post meals on here shortly brother 💪

    Daymmm I’ve ran one leg session weekly for years so 2+ is a bonus. Personally 2 is a sweet spot

    Started coaching with Kuba today.

    We had a call last week and just got my plans over the weekend. Obv I’m still needing to keep my fertility in check so can’t smash a cycle but I wanted to start levelling up everything else and I know he will help me do that.

    I’ve been quite relaxed of late eating 3/4 meals per day but now back to 5 meals, solid routine and a split designed to really bring up my weaker parts which I started today with a back session.

    Looking forward to getting to work, I’ll keep you guys updated as we go.

    With respect, I don’t know anyone that made very good progress that’s ever done this. Lower volume or not I would challenge how intense you train if you’re physically able to train everyday. Doesn’t make sense to me personally, just my opinion.

    Bruhhh it’s so so hot again and hard work to get in and train I won’t lie but nothing missed. Still getting everything done. Very happy with my recent training performance. Appetite takes a big hit when it’s hot like this too so always harder to get meals in but we move.

    Backs been playing up past couple days so swapped rest day tomorrow with today and rested today also booked an osteo appt for tomorrow! Really need to get it released/manipulated. Something I need to keep ontop of probs for the rest of my life now tbh but it is what it is. Part and parcel of being a bodybuilder!

    Yes. You’ve lost weight from first to last reading so up the food brother. Looks like you’re around maintenance. Add an extra 2-300kcal monitor for 2 weeks then assess again.

    So last week was a really good full week back on the normal 5x per week split.

    My current split is:

    Chest bi

    Legs quad focus

    Rest

    Back thickness (rows) calves

    Delts tri

    Hamstrings and lats (pull downs)

    Rest

    Felt amazing to full send it and be back to normal on everything and log it all. Deffo down a touch of strength but I’ll string a good few weeks together here now and start taking those progressions again to get back to where I was 🙏

    Hey Joe in terms of training frequency – how do you Find this approach vs hitting things twice per week?[/quote]
    I like it for me and my requirements now splitting back is the main thing here so I can fully nail my rows and my pull downs on separate sessions as trying to bring my back up 💪

    In for back day today and it was my thickness focus day with calves. At the end some of the calisthenics lads were in and I tied to do a muscle up. Failed. I wanna be able to do one so gunna make it a little side quest 😂 ngl long way to go for me I think. Probs not ideal at the end of a pull session though when I’m already cooked hahah
