Awesome workout with Sasan! I know you have a weight stack extender you put on the weight stack sometimes to add more weight. Any recommendations on where I could buy something like that? That would really allow me more room for progression. I browsed google but not having much luck :/

Best things you can do:
-Decrease calories
-Increase activity
-Try and get more sleep to let your body rest(8 hours or more) -
I personally feel a test booster is ONLY beneficial if you answer “yes” to the following, otherwise it’s worthless imo:
-Are you in your mid 40’s or older?
-Have you had your testosterone levels tested?
-Are they naturally low?If “yes” to all those questions, it might slightly raise your natural test levels a little bit. Most people expect much more from test boosters but they really don’t so a whole lot. Little increase in energy during the day, little bit better glycogen storage/fullness, and a little better sleep.

In his log, articles, and videos Jordan had recommended the following, so it will completely depend on how much rest YOU want…..
Pull, Push, Legs, Rest, Repeat
Pull, Push, rest, Legs, rest, Repeat
Completely depends upon your recovery and your availability to train.

I too will be trying upper/lower pretty soon. Never ran that split before. I’ve always been a high volume workout kind of guy until I started listening and watching Jordan and Scott(Stevenson). Then I reworked my routine to PPL with Jordans style of training during my most recent reverse diet and blew up with a lot of size. Intent of upper/lower will be increasing frequency. Recovery seems a bit rough but I’m excited for it.

Jordan just answered in another thread that he doesn’t really program a different split or frequency for enhanced vs naturals. The big difference will just be strength due the the anabolics. If you’ve watched Jordans videos or read his log, he really favors upper/lower, PPL, and full body routines. Any of those can work for you. You’ll grow as long as you’re progressing your lifts, eating enough, and recovering properly.

Really depends on your size. If you’re well past your natural limit in size, you will lose size and strength when you come off. Even if eating a lot to maintain weight. The advantage to blasting and cruising is being able to keep some test in you to at least maintain/minimize size you lose. How much you cruise on it also dependant on your size. Most people can cruise on 100-200. Jordan cruises on 400 if I recall correctly because he has more size.
-
Advanced can recover faster, but they really don’t need different routines than those that are natural. Something like an upper/lower or PPL gives that person at least 48 hours to recover before training again. Even a natural lifter should be able to recover within 48 hours if they are getting in enough food and sleep.
Jordan may have a different view with how he writes plans for clients though, so hopefully he chimes in.

Jordan used a waist trainer for one of his preps and said it did help

Like JP said, keep fats out of your post workout meal. Carbs + protein have such a phenomenal effect on MPS(muscle protein synthesis). Fats take away from MPS. Not optimal at all regardless of if you’re competing or not. If your goal is building muscle, keep fats away from peri workout.

25g hydro whey(pepto pro is expensive)
37g HBCD- from Raging Full + bulk HBCD
2.5g creatine
Add an extra 3-4g taurine – I get some painful lower back pumps….this helps -
Articles section – if you look up the different articles, you’ll get a feel for rep ranges Jordan does for himself. Here’s a quote for a chest exercise from his most recent article “Push” – “2 Sets, first set heavy in the 5-9 rep range, second set aiming for 10-12 reps, so reducing the weight slightly.” That’s the rep range for a lot of what Jordan does unless he incorporates muscle rounds or rest pause.
Go read through his log as well.
If you only have Monday – Friday for training, I’d highly recommend an Upper/lower split. More frequency for each body part per week.
Monday – upper
Tuesday – lower
Wednesday – rest/cardio
Thursday – upper
Friday – lower
Saturday and Sunday – rest -
Jordan has a few videos talking about carbs intra workout. He uses Raging Full by ProjectAD and prefers HBCD. I too use HBCD because it sits so well with my stomach and doesn’t cause bloat or water to sit in my stomach like a lot of other carb powders do. ProjectAD Raging Full in particular also has a bunch of pump/blood flow ingredients as well as hydrating ingredients that make it better than just grabbing a simple carb/HBCD powder.
With all that said, if your body absorbs a dextrose, waxymaze, or other carb powder that is cheaper, for sure go with that option. HBCD is great but price can add up. So if your body is able to digest the cheaper powders fine, go with those and save money. Both are carbs at the end of the day.

Honestly, gear is the safer route because we don’t have any research from long term SARM use and what it may cause. If you are not competing though, you really need to weigh the pro’s and con’s. Without competing, it’s completely just for looks, so that may not be enough of a reason for you to potentially mess with your natural hormones. Even PH’s and SARMs are surpressive to a point. So anything we’ve been talking about in here you’ll want to carefully think about running in the future.

No need to track how much you burn. Track consistently how much you’re consuming and alter based on your weight staying the same or decreasing.
