My weight has been standing still for a little while and I did some calculations, from the JP’s ebook formula for calories I need to up my carbs a bit, also the fat and protein but not as much as carbs.

At the moment I’m taking in 60g of carbs from maltodextrin during workout. My plan was to switch this out to performance fuel. And I will go…

Creatine

Hi!

I’ve been taking Creatine everyday for quite some time now, 5g. I decided to try 10g to see what happened, all that happened was I had to visit the bathroom 5-10 times a day … I went down to 5g again and it’s fine.

Should I just accept that 5 is my limit or have anyone had the same issue and tried splitting it up to get it to work or…

Intensity techniques

Hey!

I’m increasing my frequency in my upper/lower split, with 1 extra upper and lower, So 5 upper and 4 lower total in 2 weeks. I went down a little in volume to start with, and Mabey increase as we go. This is the split I’ve done now for a while and I really like it with the exercises, but I decided to crank up the frequency.

I got a question…

Squats

Hey!

I got a question about squats,

Let’s for example say you put on 150kg on the bar and squat 1-2 seconds negative with bounce in the bottom, to me it’s more a “powerlifting squat” to use the stretch reflex to get up. Compared to a squat with 120-130kg with 2-3 seconds negative and no bounce, you go down and press up. What would you say is…

It’s not that I haven’t followed a diet before but just trying to clean things up , and trying stuff on my own.

I haven’t started this yet but I thought this macros on…

Inguinal hernia+leg training

Hey, I’ve got a Inguinal hernia( hope the translate is correct, used google translate). I have almost no pain, it just feels a bit weird.

Some people would probably suggest no training, but I don’t see my upper body training that impactful. But my leg training is the problem, I don’t think I should create that much internal pressure like in…

Pre workout sleep

Hey,
I train about 6-6.30 pm , I take “prepare pro” at that time. I need that stim after a long day at work.
I have no problems going to sleep at about 11pm. I was wondering if the pre workout is taking away recovery from my sleep without me noticing that?
Would “unwind” be a good thing to add in after those late training days or is the pre… Read more

Single leg curl
Single leg extension
Squats
Narrow stand squats
Split squat
Leg extension

Lately I’ve started to cramp on the last three exercises, worst on the leg curl. Like it won’t go away for 4-5 minutes. And the calves cramp when I “warm up” for the exercise and the abs cramp… Read more
