Hunger isn’t relevant , none of us pay attention to hungry
Are you gaining at a slow ready so body fat gain is minimal , are lifts progressing . That is it .
Hunger doesn’t matter , ignore it , like the rest of us 🙂
Haha very true thank you 🤝🏽

Eveyrthing looks great , now just stick to it for 6+ months and whatever happens don’t change
@Jordan_peters So add a second set to everything and then keep everything the same bring body weight up and focus on getting stronger across a multitude of rep ranges?

I could honestly eat 4000 calories of clean food without a struggle I have such a big appetite and I this isn’t due to my cut but something I’ve been battling for a while I’ve always had uncontrollable hunger when I bulk I’m hungry when k bulked up to 190lbs pretty high body fat I’ll put a picture below I was still hungry and never struggle to eat enough

Hiya Kian, what are your visuals and your gym performance looking like? If you’re keeping really good condition and recovery and performance seems to be good continue tapering up kcals!
If you dieted for some time, it often takes a little time for hunger to normalise so hang in there!
If you’re really very very hungry and struggling, think about your food sources and picking options that are more voluminous for now.
This is my current condition I put some pictures below.
Gym performance is decent in progressing but last two sessions I have felt like I’m fatigued and carrying some fatigue into my sessions due to me taking sets all the way and even past failure

I don’t have another answer to give other than the one I just did buddy, I can repeat it again if you like haha? There are no absolutes and for some they will do better with more and others less
And it could be 3 , or it could be 4
That’s your job , to find out what one is then too much
That’s what we all did / do , constantly
The WORST thing you can now do, is not accept the answer as you want absolutes , and keep trying to find someone to give you one
This is a very very long game , and each year you learn more . Provided you train hard and take your weight up, you will grow , then pay attention to rates of growth and make smart decisions as to your volume
Thank you I appreciate the help it means a lot

It’s a middle ground that is forever shifting , there is no absolute rule , for some the lesser maybe better , for others , the more maybe better . This is ALL trial and error , So the most important thing I need you to understand , is never look for absolutes in any of this
@Jordan_peters what do you think of my current upper/lower setup exercise selection etc is there anything you would change. I understand two rotations would be recommended but I like repeating the same rotation over and over I don’t know why but I like simplicity and progression and I understand if I have two rotations it’s the same as it’s not the exercise but progression of the lift that’s targeting the muscle that matters but I just really enjoy running one and getting good at that exercise

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

On 3 sleeps , add a second set
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
-
On 3 sleeps , add a second set
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
