    Hey, I eat less as my output is lower on a rest day, if you eat the same as a training day you’ll be too far above your baseline in both a prep to see weight drop well or in a offseason where you’ll see yourself gain too quick

    I don’t use any artificial sweeteners, spices, or caffeine. I don’t

    think stress is a factor, as this issue has been ongoing for quite some

    time. I live in Turkiye and white fish is hard to find, turkey breast

    and coconut oil is expensive for a student. I’m considering seeing a

    doctor is best move

    If your stress is actually high it’ll have a massive impact on your gut health, it may be worth looking in that more as it seems you’ve tried all things diet / intake.

    So what do you do to destress
    Do you set up for good sleep
    How goods your routine to reduce stress
    Could look to support with some supplementation like unwind and for me I find magnesium helps also

    I agree with Jordan just the same as over using anything I like to do 2 whey meals max I stick with iso pro from the tbjp range and the rest meat or fish or egg options for me and digestion is tip top

    I think if you want to really harm yourself that’s the way to go, drastic things shouldn’t be needed in a peak you should be ready

    Morning guys

    Rest day for me, I thought I’d share where I am at the moment.

    I wanted to come totally off all “supps” and some time away from diet time ( we know it’s a bit taxing on the female body) – I’ve been competing since I was 23 and even if no comp was done in a year ( 2 years years out of all of those ) a long diet was done.

    I’ve been assisted since I was 25 so I wanted my body to have a break from that, yes I cycle on and off I’m not on all the time but I personally wanted some time off from the cycling too.

    So this year I’ll be taking to improve my body and take time off from any drugs. With how my body is shaping without them I don’t even know if I’ll use them again haha.

    I will do a tidy up this year when body comp
    Or appetite needs it but I don’t need that right now

    March 19, 2025 at 6:01 pm in reply to: Thoughts on U/L

    I agree with Jordan when I run upper Lower I always do a 2 press per session, the third just kills me off doing u/l/rest/repeat

    So choose 2 for the bias you’re going with shoudlers / chest each session and add an additional isolation in place of the compound, keeping the isolation that’s been added in place of the press the same as the bias of the session

    March 18, 2025 at 1:33 pm in reply to: Creatine/glutamine

    Yep I’d take all in one go

    I personally do morning in one go ( 10g of each )

    And pre gym in one go ( 5g of each )

    On a rest day i don’t have a second serving of creatine but I do have the second serve of glutamine always

    Another rest day, this one was unplanned but both me and meg think it’s the right thing to do, energy is is the flaw, slept well last night for almost 8hrs, have napped 2x today, this time of month an managing energy is super hard for me.. off for a massage shortly, jsut really focusing on recovery today and aiming to be back in tomorrow, with me it’s a case of managing my self at this time so often we have to pull back, we’ve done it for long enough now I know it’s only a benefit 🙏

    Better we listen to your body reset and be ready to smash the rest of the week
