Cook 200g uncooked, weigh after cooking and see for yourself. Then just do the math

I’m no coach but I’ve been interested at the idea of doing this on the side too. From what I’ve heard and sounds good to me is that you need to learn to be a coach. Offer your friends to do their diets and training for free for 12 weeks, treat them as clients, offer beginners at the gym to train with them for a few sessions and teach them. Everyone seems to want to be a coach but the truth is, we don’t know how to be. Just like you’re not going to be a lawyer and make money from it at the beginning (you need to learn first), you need to learn nutrition, training, how to coach, how to talk to people, develop your own system etc. Just my advice, like I said I’m in the same boat as you

It really depends what your goals are and how ambitious they are. My advice would be to keep doing what you’re doing. It is possible to train well, eat well, rest well while focusing on other avenues such as job, family etc.

How long have you been training? How old are you? And are you enhanced?

Look at your pan after cooking! Is it greasy? Then yes but I’m sure some of it is on the eggs also

Thanks guys

Back width:
Rack chins (google these if you don’t know them)
Pull ups all grips * banded pull ups
The banded pulls ups help out of the bottom and enable you to focus on the squeeze at the top love these squeeze hard
Any sort of pulldows
Any sort of pullover
Back thickness:
Any sort of supported row (personal fav of mine is lying on a slight incline bench and rowing the dumbbells. You can do these differently to target lower lat or more upper back general back)
Any sort of bent over row
Rack pull
Deadlift
Rows in general -
Try single arm dumbbell presses and focus on keeping the shoulder down and retracted, while trying to make the shoulder as short as possible. This really helped me.

“As a natural athlete who is in the gym for 2 hours its hard to remember everything”, What does remembering your lifts from last week have to do with being natural? haha
As for log booking, I think it’s a good idea but don’t think every lift needs to be logged. I usually focus on 2/3 big movements per session that I religiously log and try to progress on weekly whether it’s reps or weight increase. -
Hey,
Personally I prefer doing all presses, then all pulls rather than alternating. I can accumulate a better pump this way and I just prefer it. Maybe try both and see which you prefer?

Pretty sure you’ve asked this question before. Big compounds, heavy weight, push bodyweight.

Since you claim to have not put on much muscle lately, mostly fat, I would go into an agressive cut (deep deficit + cardio). This enables rapid fat loss. The idea of a slow progressive cut is to preserve as much muscle as possible. I wouldn’t worry too much about holding on to as much muscle as possible since the muscle is not quite there yet. As rusty said, once your cut is done and you feel happy to start bulking, I would slowly reintroduce food and focus on your training and eating!
Good luck, hope this helps -
I would cut aggressively for 4 weeks or so and then plan your bulk

Hey Paul,
If you choose to bulk, will this be your first proper committed bulk?
How long have you been training? -
I like to mix 15% and 5% together. Makes it cheaper, a little higher in fat content, better flavour and a nice in between. 15% is quite fatty, 10% is the sweet spot for me!
