Hey Joe I would have one question. Did your calories always have to be pushed as hard in order to put on size or did you have an easier time putting on muscle at the beginning of your journey.
I’m just curious cause I have to push the calories pretty high(relative to my weight) myself in order to gain weight in comparison to others at a similar weight. I would asume you are the same type. -
Rest day update.
Closing down on the 7th week of the offseason. Morning weight today has dropped drastically to 84,70kg which is very strange. I guess good night sleep and one more bowel movement yesterday did its thing. On average I’m only 0,2kg up from last week and 2,5kg up from my stage weight which I know is not enough and I’m not making progress. Regardless of 3 high days this week I didn’t hit my weight gain goal and based on yesterdays pics I believe that I’m still very lean, so tomorrow another increase in food will be made, all from carbs. I will make a plan today and post it tomorrow or later today.

Friday update
Weight finally up at 85,40kg after rest day yesterday. I expected that since I always go up in weight after rest days. I start d incorporating some polyunsaturated fats in my diet, mostly sunflower seeds since I read that Jordan recommends theem a lot. Will see if there will be any difference.
Amazing push session today, took 40kg dumbbells for a ride and got 7 reps which I will gladly take.
Sleep has been good I just need to get more than 8h in bed, but I do feel like my meals are too close to each other if I try to do that. I guess starting eating earlier than 9am is the only option.
Today I’m going on a bowling party with the gym staff crew from the gym where I work at. The only food available will be pizza so you know I got my chicken and rice ready since eating pizza will only fuck my stomach up and won’t be able to eat tomorrow and perform as I need to.
Unless you ware waking up super late i personally wouldn’t fast until 9 am if your goal is building muscle – you want to stimulate mps pretty much as soon as possible and then have enough time between meals unless you are doing 4:5 meals per day [/quote]
Hey Kuba thanks for reply. I’m waking up at 7:30am but it takes me roughly 1,5h to do all the morning stuff and my cardio, I really do not like rushing in the morning.I generally have about 2,5h in between the meals which seems to be fine in terms of digestion, it just means that my last meal comes at 10pm. I know how important stimulating MPS is but I feel like with 1,5h of fasting in the morning I’m not loosin on extra gains. Am I right?
Would you advise anything different in terms of meal timing. I feel like I could probably squeeze them to 2h in between them and they wouldn’t be too close. -
Damn that’s a lot of food! I guess blending it really is the only way at this point.
Indeed my man 😂
There’s was a point last year when I was with Patrick that I was blending salmon and pasta meals, that was too much lol[/quote]
Nice to see that you are not just getting the calories in with junk food. I have a big respect for people eating big and clean. This is real bodybuilding! -
Last session of the week boxed off. Great Pul B session overall, great numbers were hit and some post workout posing. I will try to post the shoots below if it will work this time.
Weight stayed at 85,40kg which is nice to see, high day today which should help this weight stick.
Yesterdays party was nice, got all the meals in easily. The waiters looked at me a bit weird while I was eating out of the tupperware container in the restaurant while others ate pizza, but nothing that I’m not used to. This is bodybuilding and I love it!

Rest day update
Woke up slightly up in weight at 85.10lg which is less than I expected after 1500g of carbs over two days. Low day today to reset and just chill. Fasted cardio to start the day as always followed by a 30min light walk after meal 1 just to get half of the steps for the day in. Now just some personal training and maybe some ab training for me. -
Quick question re split, if you’re back is still sore from pull yday, have you thought about changing things around?
I’m not sure what your main areas for improvement are (feel free to tell me), but my thoughts would be that I wouldn’t want to be hindered from doing pull for my leg day.
Hope you’re well and off season is going well too!
Hey Joe thanks for reply. When I wrote that my back is still sore on the leg day I was a bit exaggerating, I’m just slightly sore in my lats, nothing that would really hinder my leg day performance. I’m still consistently beating my log book on leg day.
However my most lagging body part is by far my back, thats why I’ve had a high day on my Pull sessions until today. My weight has stayed the same for quite some time so I added another high carb day on my leg session, so 3 high days from now on.
My legs are also my strongest body part in my opinion, hence why I only do them once a week.

Wednesday leg session today. Session was absolutely amazing, progressed all the numbers even the RDL which I was a bit skeptical about since my back is still sore from yesterday but everything went as it should. Weight is still not moving, uctually dropped after 750 carbs yesterday so another high day today. Will implement 3 high fays from now on so the weight should start going up. Training splot will get adjusted so the high days aren’t one after another.
No cardio today just 30min fasted walk to get the day started. Last leg day on our leg press and hack squat today since they will be replaced probably next week, had some great memories with this machines. -
Another great day. Pull on the menu which means it’s high day. Woke up at 85kg flat. Weight trend does not seem to be going up so a potential food increase will be needed later in the week. I’m considering putting in another high day on legs but the split would than have to be adjusted so that there is one low or medium day in between them. However Pull A session went down today and it was a good one, already feeling smashed from it. Carbs will be well needed today. Nothing crazy left for today just some client training and chill for the rest of the night. I know I said it yesterday but today I will make sure I am in bed earlier to get some good rest before tomorrows leg session.

I’ve tried them all and to be honest almond butter is the one. For me it tastes the best out them all and has a great fat profile. As far as I know they all are pretty rich in micronutrients, cashew butter however does contain a bit more carbs than the other ones. But if that isn’t a concern for you I would definitely go for it, it tastes great! In terms of the pb I agree with you, there are so many better options.

Week 7 of the off season starts today. Morning weight back up at 85,15kg after a rest day which is good. Started the day with client trainings followed by my session. Push A was ion the menu today and to be honest didn’t go as planned. Started the session as usual with DB shoulder press but didn’t prigress the top set at all and just matched previous reps. This made me quite angry but I managed to get my focus in and the rest od the session went great, hit some good numbers on the other movements which is also a W I guess. Just some work the rest of the day, will try to go to bed a no lateer than 11PM and get some good rest in.

Body must be like an absolute furnace dude! Looking great!
Thanks Joe. Body is burning through the food very efficiently and this is all I want.
