hello Jordan, hope you are good!
regarding some questions you got on instagram lately, why you think getting too revved for a set is “bad”? I mean if you can maintain proper form and know when to stop the set despite being too revved it may allow you to do some stuff you otherwise couldn’t, sometimes not always. Is it unnecessary fuckery for the cns for no reason maybe? haha
I’m not saying you are wrong obviously, i just remember you mentioning it again in the past and was just curious

thank you!

Hello Kuba hope you are all good!
I have 2 questions regarding ashwagandha
1) is it better taken with a meal or it doesn’t matter?
2) should we keep it away from the training window or it doesn’t affect it? This I’m asking because I’ve read in dr scott’s book that some anti oxidants in high doses can blunt training adaptations, even though he also says that ashwagandha is probably beneficial for muscle growth and i’m not sure if it’s considered an anti oxidant and i’m not even gonna take it in a high dose…so maybe a stupid question but thought I ask to be sure haha

hello Kuba, what are the main changes you are gonna make in your programming (if any) now with 3 consecutive sessions?
-
I completely understand and agree, thank you for clarifying!
-
Definitely didn’t mean to insult you haha, my apologies . A better way to say it would be general rather than arbitrary, because I thought you said that 6 is the number for everyone. And I know you never speak in absolutes that’s why I asked. How you put it now makes sense

Hello Jordan, recently you said in an instagram post or comment that 6 sets per muscle at a single exposure will maximize everything you are going to get in terms of muscle gain and more won’t equal more. My question is why 6, isn’t that a bit arbitary? I mean couldn’t it for some be 5 and for others 7? Isn’t that a bit dependent on a lot of factors?

Hello Kuba
My question is if you are on a mini cut and you happen to need a deload at this period (my preference is days off) do you opt to keep food the same or increase to maintainance? Because on one hand the deload is used to bring down fatigue so the extra food will be helpful but on the other hand the mini cut is supposed to be aggressive and brief and don’t want to “waste time”
You would be wasting time deloading in a calorie deficit as you won’t be dropping fatigue in a deficit
Always bring calories back to maintance for sure or simply bring down expenditure if it’s high ( best option for most who are in need of higher steps / cardio )[/quote]
Thank you!

When you analyze your thoughts like that it’s so fcking helpful! Thank you so much!

Hi mate
I’m not sure there’s much to add.
If you know adding work makes the quality drop off to a point that makes you question the purpose of the sets, stay will a volume that allows you to progress session after session
If you arrive at a place where progression stalls, you then have some figuring out your do, but whilst you’re consistently progressing, I don’t see the value in change
Well truth is the way I said it there’s indeed nothing to add 😂 It was more to make sure I’m thinking this right because sometimes you have that voice in your head that says what if I could do more volume here, because as I said I know I can recover and progress it but on the other hand I know it’s not gonna be quality work so I’m gonna stick to what I’m doing. Thank you! -
One is not better than the other. It depends on the frequency you 1) can and 2) want to train at.
1) I believe it’s better to train more frequently but there will come a point where you won’t be able to recover from upper lower. So if you can recover from upper lower now that imo would be better than ppl FOR YOU. You should go to ppl when you can’t recover from upper lower anymore, but now you have a chance to train more frequently and you should take it because at some point you won’t have that chance.
2) if you enjoy ppl more than upper lower do what you enjoy, you’ll get more results doing what you enjoy than what is “optimal”
Then adjust volume accordingly – more frequent less volume and vice versa
More frequently you hit a muscle group there are more opportunities to grow. You can make up for it to a degree if you do more volume and train less frequently but it’s not exactly the same. Also the more frequently you train then you spread the sets accross more sessions (less sets / per session) which makes those sets more productive.

Great push session ! Super pleased
Granite 2.0 chest press x 5 x 6
High incline smith x 5 x 6
Gym leco tricep x 5 x 6
Machjne lateral x 6 x 6 x 5 x 5 x 5
Pec dec x 7 x 7
Dual banded push down x 7 x 6 x 5
Push ab machjne x 5 x 7
Cable crunch x 9 x 9Just scaled back any junk volume , once I drank drugs and food , I will be looking to surpass all time high incline smith press , today was a fairly decent start point for 268 on cruise . To peak that lift I need to be 280/285 , as when have that weight behind me, it just flies up , so that will be fun
Absoutely zero cns fatigue from that session , feel very fresh . Pull tmo
those sets you dropped, were they junk volume because you couldn’t progress them or you felt they weren’t productive and just took away from the session?
-
do you think that the fact that you are still gaining back lost muscle influences the frequency you can train at? Positively i mean…you can train more frequently than if you were at new levels of muscle (besides handling your volume etc)

Hello Kuba, can we have a top 5 prediction for the Olympia? 🙂
