hey Kuba, lately you post a lot of studies on you story that support a dose of magnesium above 500md / day. Is that total from supps and diet or should i aim to get around there only from supps alone? (elemental of course).

also is it ok to take some of it after training with the post workout meal?

Hello Kuba,

Regarding creatine, for natural athletes I mostly hear the recommendations of 5-6 g per day. Recently I see you support a higher dosage, not only to aid in performance but for health reasons as well.

How much would you recommend for a natural athlete that is let’s say pretty lean at 75-80 kg at 180cm?

The reason I keep saying natural is because we are a lot smaller with less muscle so maybe we need less Creatine than enhanced guys?

30g daily for other benefits

10 am
10 around training 10 mid day

Weight is irrelevant
Being enhanced is irrelevant
How much muscle you have is irrelevant

Higher doses improve cognitive function and general health[/quote]

thank you!

thank you guys!

Thank you for the feedback guys

@kuba1000@hotmail.co.uk would you ask for the same 2 movements until they get it perfect or ask for different each time?

Reason asking is if someone is a relative beginner and they have let’s say 8 exercises in their session they might do all 8 completely wrong. So then it’s going to take a lot of time to get all the session right, that’s my worry. If the client is advanced I can see how less videos are not a problem.

You’ll likely do more food if weight drops because it likely means that your body use the food to drop fatigue but not to fill up which is also the goal?

Hello Kuba, hope everything is good! I can’t remember the exact podcast (I think it was on recent one you did on think big bodybuilding like 13 days ago), but you talked about having a different mindset this time going into prep. I would be interested hearing a bit more of your thoughts on that if want to share:)

I’m prepping like I’m going to win, defeatist mindset is for fucking losers, I’m not that. I’m a realist, I may not win it doesn’t change me doing this like I am going in to win the show. Every thing I do and have done has been done with this intent this year[/quote]

Can’t expect anything less from you! Excited to see you on stage!

in an instance like this one where you have dropped from your peak weight do you aim to go back up to it relatively fast or build up slowly like you did the first time?

To add to that…nowadays with all the social media and people trying to look hardcore I think people confuse aggression with intensity and think that if you are not doing like a maniac in every set you don’t train hard

Hello Kuba, in one of your YouTube videos recently you talked about how you prefer to listen to more chill music or talk to Meg on the way to the gym so you are not burn out by the time you got there.

Can you talk about that mental aspect more, as I find it very interesting and helpful and not a lot of guys talk about it. I’ve definitely caught myself getting burn out from the hype before the session even starts a lot of times in the past, or using too much hype before a set and just messing up my execution. Some is needed but too much is detrimental I think haha.

So when do you start to prepare mentally for the session and how does that look in your head? Do you find you are less aggressive and more focused and composed than before ?

hey Kuba, hope all is well!

regarding the concentric of any movement..do you aim to be as explosive as possible or start with a fast but smooth contraction?

I always do a micro pause before the concentric but sometimes when i try to be too explosive I lose connection with the target muscle (eg shoulders take over on a chest press) or i still feel the target muscle but the joint feels weird (eg if i do a cable lateral raise too explosive i feel a bit of pain on the shoulder and i feel like i lose my position).

I know we don’t want to be slow, but do we want to go to the other extreme and go as fast as possible?

My understanding is we want to go as fast as possible WHILE still staying on the target muscle, which sometimes is different than just going as fast as possible, depending on a lot of factors. Is that a correct thought process?

This is actually super simple

Power with control is always the goal

If you are losing position, losing tension or feeling pain in any lift you are likely just moving too fast, you want power not fast

You also don’t want slow yet you want control.

Somewhere in middle is always best when it comes to extremes.[/quote]

Mainly through you and Jordan I’ve understand that somewhere in the middle is the answer to almost everything haha, thank you as always very helpful!
