Hey buddy, I’ve never done a full body or upper lower split, I’ve always done a standard 5 Day Split or push pull legs split. So I would do whatever your most comfortable with and what you prefer. Aim to lift as heavy as your body will let you with immaculate form. Progressing on these lifts over time making sure the form is not compromised. With regard to the food it depends how much you weight, how your body responds, your current condition etc but to begin with I always increase carbs around my training first. See what happens and if needed I will bump them up in other meals after.

Hey buddy, nothing wrong with pushing fats higher. I personally avoid fats around my workouts but I usually have fats with breakfast and my last meal of the day. Also as Tim said rest days are a good time to utilise high fats.

Morning people, just out doing a fasted walk. Had a great workout yesterday and got some good food in. This mornings fasted weight was 87.5kgs so it’s slightly gone up which is good. Training legs in the afternoon with the big fella. What are you guys training today?

Why do I check my blood glucose reading post workout?
I first got introduced to this method from James Hollingshead who I believe was introduced to it from a past coach. At first it seemed a little wierd and over the top but the science behind it made sense do I decided to give it a go. After using it for a few weeks I was starting to find it really interesting. How the readings differed depending on what body parts I was training or what kind of workout I had. When using Intra workout carbs I like to get them carbs used up during the workout. That’s what they’re there for that’s why I’m supplementing them. So after I’ve finished training I do want my blood sugar to be at a lower rate which tells me all of them carbohydrates have been utilised during the workout. I wouldn’t want to just be piling more carbs ontop of them in my post workout meal if they haven’t been digested. So the goal is to always be in range (less than 4.5 for me) before having my post workout meal which consists of whey isolate and cereal. This has allowed me to utilise these carbohydrates better and I do think it helps maintain a better level of body fat during the offseason as your keeping your body insulin sensitive. James has just done an informational video on this topic on the site so check it out guys and let me know your thoughts.

Hiya mate.
This is something I am looking to implement also. Seems very logical.
Quick one. ..is pwo the only time you take your reading ?
How long do you wait after your workout to take the reading?
If you do take readings at any other time of the day how long after a meal do you wait ?
Thank you [/quote]
Hey buddy,At the moment I’m only taking the reading post workout.
It takes me around 20 mins to drive home from the gym so usually 20 mins after my workout I take the reading and I’m always in range.
I have taken readings in the past before my post post meal. Usually 2-2.5 hours after however I usually know when I’m back in range because I start to get really hungry around the 2 hour mark and I know I’m ready to eat.
It’s definitely a good tool worth implementing. Have you used one before?

Hey guys, had a great PULL session with James today. Kings was like an oven so it was tough but we had a great session. I used 25g Intra workout carbs and my blood glucose reading post workout was 3.7 which ensures me my insoulin sensitivity is still great even after the food poisoning. Had my post workout meal then popped off to work. Going to head home and eat a solid meal now and then try and rest for tomorrow’s leg workout. Going to do a post below on why I’m a fan of using blood glucose as a tool. Check it out and hit me up with any questions.

Hey mate, I’ve never been able to eat huge amounts of junk food on any drug and not accumulate bodyfat! So it’s probably people that genetically don’t gain body fat very easily. You’ll have to monitor yourself really but I wouldn’t suggest eating loads of junk when using any drugs because they can all have a bad impact on cholesterol, blood pressure etc.

Hey buddy, I’ve never had this problem no but I do rarely use this drug. Are you using high amounts?

Good morning everyone, just out doing some fasted cardio. Stomach seems to be a bit better today and not feeling as weak. Going to try and get a full days nutrition in and get a good session. Pull Day is going down at kings gym. What compound exercises do you guys do for back? It is the offseason now we are trying to grow.

Hey buddy, I personally would keep the nutrition around training the same for now. Slightly pull calories from other meals and increase activity at the same time. Do this gradually and it will have a better effect on your body. Keep us posted on your progress.

I wouldn’t myself. Just use them with your carbohydrate dense meals.
