Very interesting video thanks for the post what are your thoughts on his views Jordan ? I am currently drinking around 5/6 litres a day and currently intaking 130g carbs a day with 2 re feed days of 330g carbs and last week my performance was poor mentally and physically I was very tired by the end of the day and fatigued faster then usual in the gym so at the weekend Was time to re charge and re feed Sunday I had a dirty meal which was probably high in salt and I have felt much better this week not as tired and much better performance in the gym monday Tuesday so I think I’ll supplement each meal with a little sea salt from now on and see how it goes

[josh newman]

Could i also ask why is it benificial to add salt when consuming 5/6 litres of water a day ? Could you explain how the process works with sodium levels and using salt i understand we must flush allot out through going to the toilet frequently and when we train , i usually consume say 3 litres from 6am till 4.30pm then train typically in a session 2 litres is gone over a 2 hour period then night time another litre plus any additional coffees i have etc how will it effect our look with higher sodium intake and low salt

[josh newman]

This is something i wanted to no for a while this forum has so much content now days its great do artificial sweeteners apspartme sucralose etc have any effect when trying to maximise fat loss im 9 weeks into prep and found
The odd can of pepsi max or 10 lol or zero sugar jelly to really help but are they something you want to avoid or use sparingly and if so why ?

[josh newman]

Wow i have been ruling salt well adding no additional to meals i currently drink 5/6 litres a day so you would reccommend adding sakt to meals

I have litreally spent an hour in tesco looking st all the nutritional info on the backs of the boxes haha frosties were seriously high in sugar but ive found rice kirspies with vanilla cream syntha 6 whey is very good and coco pops and choc milk shake syntha 6 is even better then dont get me started om bagels amd jam haha

Anyone else reccomened great tasting protein to go along side has anyone tried the dymatize iso100 fudge brownie ? I try to keep the whey ofa good quality i currently have a met-rx hyrdo whey but its not as pleasing as the syntha 6 but my post work out carbs are only 40g on kow days so i opt for a more dense carb source but on re feed days i go head first !

[josh newman]

could you recommend a reputable brand that they use ? thanks

I just watched both vidoes regarding cycle one and cycle 2 very clear content nice and easy to understand thankyou

i am curently 6 weeks into my cutting phase with a great diet and training regime in place and good progress each week in terms of asthetics and progression with my lifting hitting each body part 3 times a week low volume higher frequency , would you say using 30mg var ed and 400mg test e twice a week whilst being in a calorie deficit aiming to lose as much body fat as possible whilst aiming to maintain goood quality muscle something you would reccomend as i dont want to hold water, or would i benefit greater once out of the cutting phase and in a surplus cycling 400mg test e a week

[josh newman]

Great thankyou mate , I started using various PED’s from a young age say around 18 very inexperienced with dieting and training and ped knowledge i very stupidly took anything I was told would make me massive as at 18 we all wanted to be massive in my gym I would train for 6 months gain size then stop training and repeat this process many times and worse of all put substances in my body I didn’t no anything about wasting time effort and money , it wasnt untill 18 months ago I started taking it seriously and it become a lifestyle over a hobby and its been a consistent 18 months with no peds I’m now 25 and allot more educated in regards to dieting and training and I have a good diet in place and good training regime and I’m currently 5 weeks into my 12 week plan I had introduced 30mg var end then up to 50mg Ed 40 mins pre workout and I’d say week 5 this week I have notice considerable strength gains , as a safe and controlled way of running a cycle what would you recommend to run along side var and dosage that isn’t to aggressive I’m currently cutting so would I better using something fast acting like Test prop ? Or would I be better with
Test E any advice would be greatly appreciated as for me this is an area i no very little about in terms of what would be a good dosage and best way to cycle etc

[josh newman]

I’ve been taking 25mg pre workout there 50mg per cap so I have been splitting in 2 halfs and all seems to be ok so far I no when I used 50mg ED it would kick start some issues , I may need to slowly work it up or just cruise on 25-30mg ED ,

Could anyone recommend a what is best for taking care of the liver and kidneys ? I drink plenty of water around 5 litres plus a day and take 2 milk thistle tablets morning and night

[josh newman]

Thanks for the reply Jordan , would you recommend running anything along side these for the liver kidney function , I already take
Life extension curcumin and reflex multi vit , vit c , vit d , and a 2 milk thistle tablets a day + omega 3 etc as part of my daily staple , I drink around 5 litres water + a day

[josh newman]

Good question as i wondered the same as i love coffee , one of my first ever diet plans stated to not exceed more then 1 cup a day as your body will become reliant on caffine and slow down the rate that you will burn fat i thought cafeine would enhance it ? Does it increase your metabolic rate ? I rarely have milk but if i do it will be whole milk as the sugars in semi and skimmed milk

I also have an Instagram page
@cleaneating_josh

I upload most of my meals daily with the ingredients used and any little tips of advice I find on my travels just to help people out who may need some ideas and help on there fitness journey like me and for me this is was a complete life style change about a year ago and it’s been enjoyable it’s hard at times but I personally would rather be healthy and fit then be unhealthy and full of junk food .

[josh newman]

They definantly feel worked for a couple of days but my recovery seems good they Are Ready to be hit by the next session , I’m really enjoying the training plan I have always trained high volume and hit the muscle group once a week doing my own thing , I liked the feeling of being so pumped but now personally I would never train like it again the 3 day split works so well , hitting the muscle groups 2-3 times a week I’m currently progressing weekly either through slight weight increase or an additional rep or 2 till failure.since I have been logging each workout this has Had a benficifcal factor , I’ll defiantly give the above ago thankyou for the update.

[josh newman]

That’s great thankyou
