Carbs are everything  IMO for performance purposes. I feel a huge difference without. I don’t work well with high fats diet. If when you are cutting carbs you mean you have higher fats intake?! Pre and post, post post meal for me on training day, same diet so same carbs intake on not training days. Btw Yes, as Ryan suggests.  Some ppl have a different diet TD and NTD, but it’s not my case.

Yes, same same. In the past I had td and NTD diet as well. TD high carbs NTD high fat. Unsuccessful. Now high carbs everyday. My body loves it and I m not made for high fats diet. Always being coaches just to let you know… there is not a way that fit everyone.

Hey buddy, thanks for the livestream yesterday, have watched it back ahain today. Just hoping for some further clarity around setting up the diet if you’d be so kind? Foing back to the direct/indirect sources, if using the TBJP macro planner as a starting point, would these be the direct numbers to hit? Obviously then the totals for the day would be much higher after plugging it into MFP as all indirect sources are also counted. I guess thats why you eat the same thing every day too coz otherwise depending on food sources (eg how lean your meat is, if you have a lot of combined pro/carb sources like milk etc) then your daily totals can be massively different! Do you have any clients that follow a more flexible approach? And if so domyou find it easier just to set total macro targets for the dy knowing they will use mixed food sources and different ones each day? Cheers bro thanks for adding so much value to the UK aspiring BBers!

Hey Richie I’ve just put my digits into the diet planner for you for reference and they came out what I’d say is direct sources only. For carbs and fats 100% although protein was 500 for me so that could be deemed high and include indirect but for yourself aiming for 1.5g per lb bodyweight is minimum start point and increase that as you see fit.
Tbh nearly all my guys follow a set plan day to day as it simple works best allround for mindset and results. It’s a small mental hurdle to get over but it’s worth it. If you are mixing and matching day to day the rules still apply that you need to be sure it digests well and fits your macros so you will be limited to good solid clean foods.
Hope this helps man ??[/quote]
Your a legend, thanks bro appreciate you taking the time to help out ???

Hi. I don’t know if you are able to keep your intensity high and so training in a gym or you have equipment…how much is your expenditure etc
..imo 200kc are not too much for an hard gainer as surplus i mean?! Just questioning and if you get fat quickly i m going to think that there is something wrong…too. sorry this is just my opinion and i want be helpful. Guyss maybe can help you more on the diet.

That’s ok! Appreciate the feedback ? im newish to the TBJP style so am still learning to really push the intensity, but i mechanically fail on all top sets but could probs go harder on the back offs. The +200 kc is current surplus as i am trying to go slow and steady, last weak gained 0.4lb whilst reducing waist measurement. Last bulk i got up to 4100kc but as i stopped cutting 3 weeks ago, and came off all PEDs, im currently figuringing out the right calorific amount, and increasing slowly to avoid quick rebound fat. I have a decent home set up during lockdown – bench, rack, OB +120kg plates, 2x DBs from 1-32.5kg. My body seems to be an annoying mix of ecto & endo – i struggle to put muscle on but hit a point when increasing cals where my body partions nutrients the wrong way n i gain more fat than muscle

Haha kind of, although i think my knowledge by far surpasses my results! Yea i spent a fair amount of £ kitting out my garage last lockdown, couldnt have gotten theough it without training! Thats why im hesitant to go on FB as wel coz more rest days are hard at the mo! Hope you have some kit too coz i know you are seriously motivated and love this as much as me!

I would start an Upper/Lower split. Also pay attention to your diet and make sure you’re in a surplus. Alongside the training, diet will play a huge part in your progress.

Thanks Claire. My caloric needs seem quite high considering my size. My maintainance cals are about 3000 so im trying to be patient andjust be in a 200kc surplus because although i struggle to gain muscle usually i getimpatient eat too much too quickly, get fat and have to go back into a cut too soon to make rel progress

@rich.e.b | Bristol

[Richie B]

Imo you would benefit from an upper lower split for a little while

Richie I’d go back to full body split if I was you . Frequency is king and full body will give you that. And now that you got 10 years under the belt with training , you’ll be stronger than earlier when you first started and you’ll be shifting heavier weights

Thanks Oscar 🙂 the one thing about FB that im dubious about is only 1 set for upper and 2 for lower. I feel my upper needs the work more than lower which i dont care too much about as a non competitor. Do you think i could switch it around so 2 sets on upper and one on lower?

@rich.e.b | Bristol

[Richie B]

Imo full body or upper lower depends how many days you can train! I would certainly if I was you look to improve my diet as well. Being in the right spot “surplus” more if you think that you are ecto or hard gainer. x

@jkelly.ross

Thanks for your input. I can train 6 days a week and currently do 5. Tbh being on house arrest (aka lockdown) training is the couple of hours a day i really look forward to (get to be in my garage rather than house lol!) and keep me sane so that’s one thing that makes me hesitant to do FB as increased rest days will be harder! Sure you can relate 🙂

It’s basically a summary of a lot of the education section into a quick easy to ready book with a ready to roll training split. I’m not sure if it was worth it but I did purchase it at the discounted Black Friday rate so if you’re gonna get it I’d do it before that’s over.
I don’t regret it, I feel it’s slightly thin on content for the cost but the convenience of having printable written out split thst you can just tweak things here and there to adjust to your own needs made it worth it too me

Yeah thats what i was thinking, great for none mebers. Ut probably nothing we dont know now feom here

@rich.e.b | Bristol

[Richie B]

Where can we find the ebook? Or you have you have to buy it?

Theres a link on JP’s insta bio

You should skip full body if you’re at a point where you can’t sustain progression anymore. If muscle groups now need more attention for progress to be where it should be
If you’ve made a decent amount of progress since you first started, chances are you can move past full body, but make sure you embed the mindset and principles required
Don’t see any phase/split as “better” than another , whichever one is right for you at the time is the one to take advantage of

I’ve lifted for a long time but done typical split body part routines so I’ll probably stick with full body for a few months(was thinking about 6 months) and see how far it takes me. Then go for an upper/lower [/quote]
@daniel-patterson is this the new principles book bro? How does it compare to the i fo in the education section, worth getting?
