    And how long have you been going since the last little re set you did with training

    What do you mean ? I’m just coming off the back end of prep . So just re assessing lifts and making sure accuracy is on point

    Yeah could have been maybe just a once off

    But 2 sets IMO is very little to not progress ??

    You may have had slightly less sleep the night before, was under more stress, were less hydrated, didn’t take enough rest between sets, the smith machine may need oiling, you were distracted, the set up was slightly off… Maybe those 5 reps you got, were actually better quality reps than the 6 you got previously, which means you did progress. Don’t over worry about it.

    Thanks. Hopefully just once off

    If you’ve got a coach telling you what to do then you need to ask him for the reasons for doing so if you’re looking for justification. If he think this is the best way to do things, then you need to trust their judgement

    Yeah but I don’t think being up 6kg in a week is right either . What would you do IYO ? As I don’t wanna get fat either [/quote]

    how do you look now with 6kg on?

    if you look awesome then id say all is good but i would not want to see this trend continue and I would want to be holding were you are a little.

    If you look much softer and dont feel great then its clearly been to much of a quick increase.

    I would speak to your coach and address with him/her, thats what you pay them for.

    Everything your doing must be specific to you not us [/quote]
    Yeah I don’t like the way I look man . Spoke to coach and not with him anymore .

    6kg in a week isn’t great: except if you are a classic physique am/pro who hardly beated the weight for a contest and it’s mainly 6kg glycogen (which I don’t think so)

    It’s not good. Do you have pics of your shape?

    Tell to your coach that you need more explanations cause you don’t agree with this; this is your body mate; we can’t accept everything blindly; communication is key

    Would you say get weight down to above 1-2kg stage weight
    I’ll prob go zero carb again for 1 week and take weight up .5 to 1lb a week

    If your up 6 kg in a week that’s cutting your offseason short by about 12 weeks

    I’d expect 6 kg up in 12 weeks not a week for me and my athletes

    Put 6 kg of beef on scales … your just gaining fat and water this fat 0 muscle

    Coaches orders to bring food up to 450g

    Bit of a tricky situation as I don’t want to start adding food in now the wrong way and ruin my physique I’ve worked so hard to get
