On 3 sleeps , add a second set
@Jordan_peters I think this is something I’m lost on to be honest I wanna get as big as I can like fucking huge I just feel abit lost on training I don’t struggle to train hard or to failure infact not doing so would feel alien to me k love pushing my self as hard as I can every session too the point that I’m tired and just breathing the next day is effort but how do I know what is effective training and how can I put together the best routine for my self possible i understand I have to bring my body weight up slowly over time 0.5lbs per week on average don’t eat bullshit focus on unprocessed foods, eat a gram of protein per pound of body weight, sleep 7-9 hours train with 100% intensity and focus full Rom slow controlled eccentrics etc.
But training volume seems to be abit up in the air I’ve never heard a clear answer on it other than Dorian’s approach which was 1 set give it everything and if you feel you need another then you didn’t push hard enough on the last set and just focus on progressing that and getting strong af to me that makes sense and not to do an additional set because it’s just added fatigue but I just want to understand why 2 sets and if 2 why not 3. Thank you sorry in advance I know I’m asking a lot of questions

Can I ask why should I add a second set not questioning you just want to understand why so that I can make the adaptions to my plan for my self later down the line. Thank you

Okay thank you can you help me understand training volume as I’m confused so is it you want to do as much as you can recover from and allows you to progress ? So more is better as long as you are progressing or is it that less is more do the least you can that stimulates muscle growth to save yourself from additional fatigue etc?

Just cos you ran a deload 4 weeks ago doesn’t mean you definitely don’t needs other one. But also, it can be an issue of not enough calories and / or not enough sleep. Youre 21 , if I was you I’d eat more and fuel the hard training, get some naps on the day and see if this helps, if not, take a deload
Also what do you recommend in terms of training programming ?

I’m gaining at a rate of 0.5-1lb per week would you still recommend I eat more ?

Just in case the images aren’t clear

Other factors:
– my daily out put other than training is extremely low I have a sedentary job but do hit 8-10k steps a day
-not assisted (which is probably pretty obvious)
– sleep is good 7-8 hours per night l -
when running U/L I do prefer 2 cycles.
Personally as I said in one of your other threads I would go with 1 work set first and then asses progress and recovery over time 0 maybe adding a second set were you feel its needed –
Thank you

I agree with the guys above here.
When dieting many people that don’t understand will comment a lot on how your face looks etc, but that is where you have to explain to process to them.
I would be moving into a maintenance phase by gradually increasing your calories back up. Focus on training performance and eating good nutritious foods.
Looking forward to seeing what progress you make 🙂
@phoebegoodwin I’ve gone back to maintenance and the carbs seem to be in full effect haha never seen a vein on my lat before
-
Is anyone able to advise me on these splits
-
I agree with Peter dieting for a long time has an effect mentally and not everyone can do it for a long period of time as it starts affecting you, if you don’t want to bulk keep at maintenance you’ll only get a bit bigger muscularity wise but not fat as I guess you want to stay lean
Thank you for the advice yeh I will try too stay as lean as possible while bringing my body weight up

Hello mate – well – physically it was a really good cut – and no matter what people say or what you think : when you are fat free it goes also on the face and facial features as well hold fat and water in the face as well – so normal your face is changing 😇
So you should not listen to them are they are not into BB, but for us : your face was totally fine, and you were not skinny but quite lean – which is a super great achievement!
I think physically you are in a super great postition to slowly reverse into a growing lean phase ! But also will make good to your mind – cause I think you have reached the point where your mind is not at the right place anymore and you lost objectivity also.
Congratulations still for this physcial achievement, it’s not easy and you did it ✨
Thank you I appreciate that and thank you for that information that will help a lot.
I am eager to get bigger and stronger but again want to be leaner and I am not struggling to lose weight at the moment I am locked into a routine so if you think I should push too 160-165lbs another 5-10lbs I can but if you think I will benefit from pushing calories back up I’ll also do that.
Thank you I appreciate the kind words [/quote]
No mate – based on your threads and repetitive questions – moving to growing makes the most sense [/quote]
Thank you for the advice appreciate it -

Thank you for the response.
I will take your advice and transition into maintenance sit there for 4-6 weeks focus on maximising performance from the increase in calories and consuming quality unprocessed foods.
Thank you me too

Just read the thread that you don’t want to grow sorry. Can I ask why you don’t want to get bigger and more importantly better ?
I do want to get bigger and better but was wondering if I was lean enough to start pushing weight back up or if I should continue to pull body fat off
-
Sorry for the spam but this lays my cut out very clearly with my weekly average weight at the end of every month. Do I push too 160lbs-165lbs or now start to look to bring calories up
