I think alison put this very well here with also the questions she’s asked you, interested to hear your feedback! If that’s the only thing that’s changed then it is likely that imo.. which brand was it?? Tbjp or??

Only thing I can think off tbf . Just a shame my tummy can’t handle certain products. And I definitely feel more watery if you get me

[jack]

If you bloat means digestion isn’t optimal; so then that’s logical for the small weight increase. Did you change anything else into your pre workout meal ? Type of food? Brand of food, flavour or cooking ?

If you did not changed anything else than the pre and eaa it might be a small intolerance to sweeteners.

Any gut intolerance can cause water retention but that’s not mandatory.

If you did all your cardio, drink all your water, followed your diet and did not changed a single thing else than this, it might be this.

You started pre and eaa this weeks or before ?

Literally changed nothing to my food . Only the pre workout and the eaas . I’ve the same feeling in my tummy as you would when drinking a fizzy drink if that makes sense ?

Hello mate; take the good things when they happen; don’t ask yourself too much questions

We don’t fix what is not broken; you know the sentence

You will see in due time when to reduce volume; and IF you will need to reduce volume

Waiting that moment to happen; keep up the good work

Thanks

[jack]

This can happen, yes, but progress will likely slow down as you get deeper in, so just keep an eye on things and reduce your volume if and when necessary.

Thanks Clare . Will definitely keep an eye on volume

[jack]

Take it while it’s there mate. Just be careful on the volume as that’s what will cause the drop off in strength.

Yes once i feel the need to drop a set here and there I will

[jack]

I don’t personally have experience with this or have much of an opinion on it. I think the principals of lifting accurately, no ego and utilising carbs intra is great. Honestly you can get very good results just by keeping things really simple. If you’re in a position where you want/need to put on a significant amount of muscle I wouldn’t even worry about hyper specific protocol like this.

IYO . Best way to train ?

[jack]

So if you want to become massive . Straight sets IYO ?

[jack]

If you feel better and you feel like you are progressing well with the push pull legs – stay with it and run it

An u/l has to be set up well yes the sessions will likely be a little bit longer to ensure that you can hit a good amount of volume throughout the week, especially for push and pull movements

But you do actually end up with frequency across a 7 to 8 day window , but stay with the push pull legs if you have a run with it

Nice one . Will do

[jack]

If suddenly throwing in more volume works, it’s an indication that the first 1/2 sets weren’t doing the job in the first place. If you can recover from a sudden jump in volume, you were nowhere near the limit with less.

This is a scenario where a certain split just doesn’t suit someone. PPL suits you and you’ve found this by trying things you don’t like or get on with. It’s all learning.

Absolutely my man

[jack]

Hi Jack, you have choose the split that works best for you. You have to experiment with different ones to see which ones work and which ones don’t for you specifically! It’s different for everyone!

Crazy as I’ve heard a few saying I don’t need more volume. I guess it’s all trial and error
My approach is do as much as I can recover from

[jack]

Everything . Tbh pal you look about 10 weeks out . Focus on getting stronger and don’t be worrying about certain things . Enjoy training because you need a lot more muscle to be competitive

Volume is definitely a driver of Hypertrophy , so if you can do more , progress it and recover from it then yes you’ll make significant progress .

Nice one . Just wasn’t 100% happy with the U/L split

[jack]

Drop pro forma an email , stock is landing all week 🙂

Legend

Perfect , again I would advise the proforma ones where you get regular hplc testing , so every batch has a hplc with it

Thanks man

[jack]
