Is it absolutely impossible to train on the weekends?

Not impossible, but I prefer fixed days plus wifey prefers when we have family time w/ kids on weekends.
Also, I do sometimes have to work on weekends.

So I would prefer to keep weekends off.

I think a good question for you is, what were you doing for training to get to where you are? Same type of split? You’re probably going to hear from a lot of people if at all to go the PPL split as I feel it’s what most of us do here with great success, myself included

I did do multiple things – my last routine was STVT (a GVT / 10X10 Variation) which I don’t want to do anymore.

Also did DC but I always end up going back to JP style of training, all of his athletes prove that it’s best – haha.

How would you/pne structure PPL 5 times in a row at best?

Pull push legs push pull ?

Maybe w/ one width focus thickness focus and one w/ chest and shoulder focus?

Mhm, another 24 hours w/o and answer.

Maybe I should add some knowledgeable people up this (?)

@corentin-chouteau-3 @jordan-peters @haider-mehdi @jhollingshead89gmail-com @hilly @peter-hills @chase-irons don’t know who else to tag right now – maybe one of you or the other experienced guys here can help me out in this one.
Still hoping for a good answer – even if it would be a reasonable 3 times per week full body split – I just want to progress so bad right now, taking the game to the next level ! ??

Feeling good and healthy, check.

Sleeping well, even though I’m currently on Tren, check.

Digesting food well again – thanks to JP forum tips ? – check.

Training well too, cutting since almost 20 weeks now, still getting stronger – tren is king, nectar of gods – check.

Decided to go the following route :

750 mg Test    E EW

600 mg Bolde C EW

600 mg Tren   E EW

25 mcg T3           ED

Never had any problems w/ Tren plus I don’t do steroids to be healthy,  I do them to may some day become as big as Jordan, James or Illia ‘Golem’ Yefimchyk (which is my ultimate goal in life, lol.) – which I doubt I ever will become.

Thanks for everyone’s responses tho ! Really appreciate your answers and your efforts to keep everyone on reasonable/low doses of hormones – really rational and kind of you guys.

Happy to hear there are still people who are realistic and know that moderate doses are needed to get “huge” 🙂

Thanks for your input brother !

Have a nice weekend :))

Hey,

It makes sense to reduce cals on rest days as your output is less. Initially you could cut the carbs and replace the calorie equivalent in fats. Then you could look at dropping the fats a little.

Just out of curiosity- is it recommended to switch the Carbs for fats on NTD? Or would it be also “okay” (not suboptimal) to just keep macros the same (except lowering carbs, let’s say by 100?)
Just want to have an optimal gaining phase – if switching some carbs for some fats is better, I would defo do this ? just curious.

Hey, switching carbs for fats will improve insulin sensitivity but not condition. If your goal is to get more conditioned then i would just cut the carbs back without replacing them with fat.

Okay, thanks pal.
So in a cutting diet you would just cut the carbs w/o fat replace.
So in a gaining phase you would surely replace the carbs w/ fats to get some more calories in (less than on training day, but still surplus) and just cut the carbs to improve insulin sensitivity? 🙂

Hm okay, what weight kgs / lbs / percent wise should I pack on AT MOST / optimally in this week, to be sure I’m not gaining fat?

Adding 1250 calories would be way too much in my opinion, the calculator does not take into consideration the fact that your metabolism has down regulated on this cut, I would do a more conservative increase of 500kcals for example and then adjusting as needed using scale weight and the mirror in the following weeks. You don’t want to ruin an off season by blowing up in the first few weeks / months and having to mini cut again and limit progress.
  

Exactly my thoughts bro ! Thank you for chiming in.
But, what I forgot to add, I’m using 75 mcg of T3 per day and wanted to continue the use with 25 mcg to have an optimal thyroid in the off season – sorry for not mentioning that.
Maybe that will change the answer I’m getting – will edit the first post with this info now – so nobody gets me wrong haha.

I will drop the T3 to 25 mcg when I go from the cut to the gaining phase ? that was planned before.
It’s a bit hard to understand you in this one, because of the noise in the background – gym I guess.
But, did you say : increase by 500 calories on Training Days – 250 on off days – for 1 or 2 weeks and then again by the same amount?
Did not get the end, where you said something about 1000 calories – sorry pal.
And thanks for your (always) v useful answers! ?

Sorry. Was warming up on stepper.

500 on T days n 250 r days for a week then asses.

T3 at 75 doesn’t cover you for over 1k cals a day

No problem pal ! Happy af that someone experienced like you is answering my questions! 🙂

I’m currently using 75, for the rest of the cutting phase.
When I transition to the gaining phase, I’ll lower it to 25 for the whole gaining phase.

So, what would you say, how should I assess / what should I look for in this week after I increased the cals?
Just v afraid to do anything wrong and get too fat again.

Thank you v much for your answers buddy ! 🙂
