Hey buddy, it’s been a bit of a weird one really. Obviously having both of these holidays booked and James having to move to Norwich for the forseeable future has put a pin in the works and I’ve been very relaxed on my diet but training very hard but soon as I’m back from this trip I will get back onto a diet plan. Let my body balance back out and flatline then I’ll increase food from that point. I’m off cycle now just on a low cruise so my body is just recovering a little soon it will be time to kick things up a notch. How’s your prep going? What was your result on your last show? I saw you qualified for the finals but wasn’t sure what happened at the show.

There’s nothing wrong with having pro carb meals on rest days and adding 10-20g of fat per meal would also help stabilise the spike in insulin and keep blood glucose a little more regulated.
Agreed. I honestly don’t understand where this fear of consuming carbs on rest days stems from.
Like I said earlier limiting your caloric intake and/or carbohydrate intake on the day prior to your next workout can possibly even cause a slight drop in your performance and personally I would not recommend going as low as only 1/3.
It takes around 24 hours to replenish your body’s glycogen stores so it’s basically like on non-training days we are sort of loading and preparing our body for the next battle if that makes any sense ????[/quote]
Yes you definitely need some fuel for the following day. It’s only on prep for a competition where I would lower the cals a bit more on the rest day. Offseason rest days I always have a cheat meal or a big meal before bed to fuel up for the following days workout!LouisMoylan

I use the tefal one but James has the best one I’ve ever used! I’m not sure if the name but the rice comes out absolutely perfect!

Hey mate, not a problem at all to do it like that as long as your gaining the muscle you want to gain. If you feel like you get to a point where your not gaining anymore muscle then you may need to add some carbs into another meal maybe in breakfast.

I always use low carb days especially on rest days. As Ryan said they’re very good for increasing insulin sensitivity, also improving digestion and I find they help push water out the body.

Good evening guys! Legs are in pieces today! Really really sore! Struggled to jump in and out of the van at work! Had a phenomenal back workout today at the local nuffield centre as I fancied some air con rather kings scolding heat! Nutrition has been great apart from some pizza I had when I took my niece out for lunch yesterday and she only ate 2 slices so I felt the need to finish the rest! Waste not want not!!! How are you guys getting on this week? How are you managing in the hot weather?

Good evening guys! Smashed an absolute killer leg workout in some scorching heat at kings gym! Feeling absolutely smashed now! What did you train today guys? Any questions about the workout hit me up below guys! Hope your having a good productive week!
Hi mate! Really glad training is going so well! When writing a program how much does ‘shaping your physique’ (couldn’t think of a better phrase) come in to play versus say overall muscle gain. Ie do you focus on sculpting or choose exercises that create a higher fibre demand. For example some guys will perform front squats to isolate/favour quads more although overall loading is decreased compared to say a hack squat. Apologies if the wording is poor. [/quote]
Hey Matt, I think I understood! I programme my push pull legs training quite evenly, as I feel like I have quite a balanced physique. I’m not really missing any body parts as such I just need overall size on everything. So I try and train everything very evenly. If I was say lacking shoulder over chest then on a push workout I would do more shoulder based push workouts and the same for legs etc. Pull workouts I try and hit all parts of the back too so that I’m not missing any areas. I try to focus a lot on accurate training making sure I’m using specific muscles to do certain exercises and put the stress load on the areas I want to be worked. That way when I programme a certain training session I know I’m covering all the areas I want covered. How do you manage your programming?LouisMoylan
