Olá Kaua,

Eu queria te perguntar se você ainda está praticando aquela versão curta da divisão U/L que o Jordan sugeriu há pouco tempo. Como está o progresso se você ainda está praticando? Você está satisfeito? Agradeço antecipadamente.

Hey Miso, I am, I’ve been doing it for about 3 weeks, with more leg training than Jordan recommended (I want to focus more on my hamstrings) and I’ve really enjoyed it

I can do the workout in ±1h30m including cardio and the progress is quite satisfactory.

So if you asked my opinion, I would say it’s worth trying.

We’re together and good training!

Change to lo salt that has slightly more potassium in than sodium , will help A LOT once you balance your electrolytes .

Are you taking a magnesium supplement ? If not add that too

And then increase water intake by 20 percent

I would also ensure that some of your carbs are coming from white potato to further bump your potassium to sodium ratio

Those adjustments usually see people good

Hello Jordan, Thanks for the reply, which magnesium would you recommend I take? Generally the ones I see that are most recommended are L-Threonate and the Bisglicinato, But I don’t know which one I should take

Thank you for your attention

Sounds great 🙂

Hey Jordan, Last week I put into practice the split that you recommended, and honestly I really liked it, I managed to save practically 1 hour of my day, which made a big difference in my routine.

I will try it for a few more weeks before to make an official post, but I’m back here again to ask a question

If you were to add one more rotation to your lower workout, how would you do it?

Thank you for your attention

The issue with your Q back , is we can then say , well what about direct adductor work and what about direct glute work , and what about lat and upper back in every session , before you know it , it’s a 2 hour session again.

Your Q was answered perfectly by my split suggestion, but you almost have instantly forgotten what question you asked . If you then want to do more things proper bodybuilders do, then ye start adding stuff . If you want to look epic and be in and out In hour , do what I said

Hey Jordan,thanks for the reply, starting this week I will put this into practice the split you recommended to me(With some changes, since there are still exercises that I continue to progress with and I don’t want to lose the rhythm) and then I must come back to give you my feedback

Again, thank you for your attention.

I would train upper lower personally as the sessions will be shorter

2 chest press
2 lateral
2 pushdown
2 lat
2 rear delt

Session 2

2 ohead press
2 pec dec
2 pushdown
2 upper back row
2 rear delt

That would take me an
Hour ish

Legs

2 leg curl
2 leg ext
1 leg press
2 calf
2 bicep

That would be an hour ish too

That will be my split when I back off from bb and only want an hour lifting so I am ok to do bjj/ boxing in the evenings

Hi Jordan, thanks for the reply, one question: wouldn’t it be ideal to do 1 lateral exercise in each upper body session to maintain a high frequency for them?

Thank you for your attention

Olá, Kaua. 
Se a musculação não é uma prioridade na sua vida, concentre-se totalmente no que é prioritário. Não há problema algum nisso. Depois de terminar os estudos, você poderá retomar o treino normalmente. 
Se você conseguir de 3 a 4 horas por semana, eu simplificaria e faria um treino de corpo inteiro. Isso garantiria que você tivesse a frequência necessária ao longo da semana com baixo volume, o que significa que suas sessões na academia não demorariam muito.




Hello Oscar, thanks for the reply, do you have any fullbody templates you could recommend? Because it takes me 2 and a half hours to make the model I usually make (In this case I am referring to the model recommended by Jordan)

Thank you for your attention

Você procura reservar seus levantamentos? Ter uma meta e foco em algo a ser superado ajuda a maioria das pessoas mais do que qualquer outra coisa. [/citar]




Hi Peter, Yes, I always look at my logbook before the series to hit my goals, I also feel like it helps me focus more, but I don’t feel like it’s enough for me.

Thank you very mucho masters, in truth is that I had already experienced something like this before, training that were excellent after sleepless nights, but I still decided to ask this question because I didn’t know if this was the right decision to make.Thank you all for your attention

Hello masters, thank you for the answers.

At the moment I don’t feel any discomfort in my lower back, so based on your answers a belt would most likely be unnecessary, correct?

But I feel a slight discomfort in my elbows and knees, especially in my first exercises, so would elbow pads and knee pads be a reasonable expense, to minimize discomfort and keep my joints warm throughout my workouts?

Thanks again for your attention
