    Hi. My currently now is seated ham machine , quad extensions, leg press, hack squat, ham curl 1 leg.1 or 2 warm up sets and 2 all sets for each exercise

    Hey,

    What’s your current training split?

    You could do more of a quad focused leg day but still include a hamstring isolation and then tie hamstrings in with back (posterior session)

    Hiya Nicolas, Kamara and Chloe make some really good points to consider. Please do outline what you’re currently doing right now for legs/your split so we can suggest further

    Thanks dude perhaps the problem is there are 1 hour and a half to take my solid meal after the shake.

    your drinking fast carbs to spike insulin and as we know what goes up must come down. your then not eating soon enough post this shake and running low BG

    you simply need to eat your next solid meal sooner

    Great idea. Thanks

    Just eat a carb and protein meal instead. If you can’t do that then do the whey and then an hour or so later do the meal

    Thank you very much

    The fat from the almond butter will be slowing down the digestion. I would opt for a whole food meal such as white meat/fish and rice post workout, or if you want whey, then add some cream of rice and banana/berries instead of a carb powder in a shake.

    Yes thanks for your time.

    I would always have actual food for your post workout. You can have whey but adding in carb powder (which is normally used for intra) isn’t the best option imo.

    What are your symptoms?

    I would monitor blood glucose too.

    Ok ok. I suppose cor is a better option that almond butter.

    It is probably as it is a quick digestive carb and spiking bloods sugars quickly then dropping them

    Try eating something instead of drinking it . Cor is a good option

    Hi. WAXYMIZE. A fast carb source.

    Hiya Nicolas, i’m not sure what you’re referencing when you mention ‘waxy’. What are you eating before this session? Do you have anything (an intra) during your session?

    I will. Thanks so much.

    Agree with the others, but also at 63yo, I would try something else and new not to have regrets.
    My husband spent 10 years in muscle split, 2 years in push pull legs
    Just switch recently to upper lower rest; and he told me that’s quite crazyyyyyy and his recovery is good honestly
    So give it a try

    Thanks jordan . Yes 63 but still competing so i like train, diet, peds, sups so good

    Train literally however you want . At 60 ,
    I would be very focused on just making sure your doing cardio and trying to look after your body . Volume and frequency debates are pretty pointless at 60 . ALL that matters is enjoyment and health

    Thanks somuch

    Enjoyment and health should be the priority later on in life. Choose whatever split you prefer, incorporate some cardio, eat good food and minimise stress.

    Thanks for your answer. But let me tell you, when I Trained with yates, Flex wheeler, Chris Cormnier, and some old school pros ( i’m a little old ) the prioritywas to recuperate the muscle, and dont repeat again the same muscle. So recuperation training ppl , UL, don’t let the muscle rest. But well is only a opinion. Thanks.

    Honestly do what you prefer and enjoy! The reason people do ppl and upper lower is to hit the body parts more frequently. So more frequency for the majority or people will serve you well

    Thanks man like always you provide good information

    im a big fan of EQ as it controls E2 very well and IME for most better than primo. Its just about getting the dose right and making sure you feel good on it.

    Its been a popular drug in Bb both off season and prep for decades and still is, As with anything its just finding what works best for you.

    Thanks very much. So i will change eq by primo. Hope good on size.

    Primo is not just a pre contest drug. I’ve used primo all off seasons before. And my preference is primo over EQ after using both.

    EQ tanked my E2 and I got anxiety from it. I was running a higher dose than 500.

    Its personal preference. All drugs work. All drugs have side affects. It’s what you tolerate and feel good on.
