Kuba – I have to thank you for the offseason approach interview you did with Dawid. I have seen many of his interviews with a variety of top prep coaches for contest prep and offseason, and you were by for the most clear and precise and actually answered all of his questions. There were a few coaches (Tuor and Cheeks) who literally could…

Just joined back up after a long hiatus from the site! Excited to follow along! Are you coaching yourself atm?

Thanks @kuba1000@hotmail.co.uk

Are there specific exercises that come to mind you would definitely NOT do them with?

if i was in the offseason, i would choose to either:

-add an intensity technique onto one or two sets per workout and assess fatigue and recovery

or

-add one straight set to a compound for a similar rep range to the top set and again, assess fatigue and recovery.

youre not going to notice a difference if you added ONE straight set to say a bicep…

I agree with JP – you mention “focus is more on chest arms back and hams” but in your split design, you really only addressed any of this by tacking on an arm day at the end, and barely giving arms anything at the beginning. Why not try:

Push (Chest focused), Pull (Biceps and back-width focused), Legs (Equal quad/ham focused), Rest, Push…

I have developed the habit of holding the fully-shortened (and lengthened) positions for almost all exercises for 1-2 seconds (with a few exceptions like dumbbell side/front raises). It helped tremendously with standardizing and resetting my form for all lifts.

However, as I progress lately, I feel it has affected load and range of motion for…

hope all is going well Sas!

Let us know if you ended up getting in that session with Dorian!!!

What I got from this is “Success leaves clues”

John was super successful in developing his and others’ physiques. Sas is super successful in developing his and other’s physiques. They have a similar style and approach to some training nuances. It’s clear that for the most part we have found the formula on how to build muscle – follow the…

2 Questions on scar tissue from repeated shots for anyone with an opinion both scientifically AND anecdotally:

1. Will having scar tissue in the muscle, say delts or arms from repeated shots, affect muscle building ability for that particular muscle in a negative way?
2. Follow up – if it does have a negative impact on hyoertrophy, is there a… Read more

I am super excited to follow your transition to double-split training sessions!!! Maybe i will learn some tips for myself! I train this way almost every day, but dont mention it much on here since most people are religious about a lower volume PPL routine lol. it fits my lifestyle since i work for a software company and sit/rest at my desk…

MAN that is a LOT of food! I dont think theres anyway i could eat all that especially on a rest day. ive never had a big appetite lol but damn. the breakfast and the burger would put me down for 80% of the day.

Reminds me of those old juan morel 20k eating videos. that man can EAT. bottomless pit

I guess part of being a good bodybuilder is…

MAN you are looking like an absolute fucking TANK!!! you rebounded amazingly!!!

hows everything going sas? seems like things are clicking great right now! Thank you for posting your workouts and diet

are you planning to work with a coach later in the year for a prep? or go solo

what levels were thyroid to say it was “kinda screwed” ? just curious

looking great man!

SOMEBODY MOVE THIS DAMN THING TO THE PRO LOGS SECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LFG!!!!!!!!!!

Looking great haider!!! sounds like things are clicking at the end of prep. you’re at the home stretch man. And making me really wanna go get sushi HA! Also – if you have time, i have a few Qs for you:

in terms of t3/t4, do you feel like you flatten out from use at those doses (50/150)? or flatten out any doses?

what is your taper off method…

My mistake – thought you had more clients doing PCA versus NPC.

So PCA is viewed as more of a step before NPC/IFBB?

Question for you Kuba since you have a ton of clients competing in the PCA

How is the PCA viewed in the UK in comparison to the NPC? It is not super popular here in the USA, as the NPC has a stranglehold on the competitive market right now. But it seems like the PCA is even more popular in the UK than the NPC. Also – how is it seen being a PCA…

Hard to argue with guys like you having an arm day when your arms are huge haha!

Sushi sounds great – inspiring me to get some this weekend. What are your favorite types/rolls etc?

how often do you come down to cruise doses, and for how long?

Congrats D – you looked amazing. your time will come

looking READY

You can be sure you have progressed when either (1) you can use the same weight but have added reps, or (2) you have performed the same amount (or more) reps but added weight.

You have done neither. so its hard to say..

Also – this is Kubas log. ask you Q on the forum. it waters down his thread.

enjoy the rest, you are looking SHREDDED!

Hey Jord –

Are you still a fan of zig-zagging exercises? I know you don’t do so currently have not not in a while. Just curious as I scroll through your older logs.

looking great a week out dawid! no doubts you will be ready.

in the past, leading into a show i would have killed myself, training with the same volume with dropsets and rest/pauses etc. After learning a lot more from kuba, jewett, and yourself i have really reduced volume leading into the show and expect a fresher look and feel. 1-2 hard…

Dave! Man I see you EVERYWHERE lol – all over IG and now on JP’s site

I will absolutely be following along your journey.

Good luck next week. Me and you will be going after it on the same day!

Have you tried both? What do you feel and recover from better? Only you can answer for yourself…

This is not a Q/A for yourself. Ask in the forums next time in the training section.

good luck man – one of the most persistent guys i know. pro card is yours bro. how many weeks out now?

so excited youre back sas! I am glad you took time away for family and business and enjoyed it, were successful, and did what YOU wanted to do. Not the expectations of others, especially to bodybuild and compete just simply because they expect it. and im glad you are back with passion again!

would there be any repercussions/drawbacks/negatives to reconstituting lyophilized HGH powder with injectable l-carnitine?

intuition tells me its probably fine – but i really couldn’t find anything on this.

Are you asking our permission to use a machine you like and feel and gives you good results..?
