I think it’s more for the convenience of getting the calories in when calories get higher and higher. You’ll get to the point you cannot add any more carbs to a pre or post workout meal, so intra workout is the next best way. So if you can still eat all the carbs and properly digest them pre/post, keep or continue adding to those meals. When it gets to the point you’re bloated and have a distended gut, that’s when you know you cannot add anymore food to that meal and might even need to pull back and use the carbs intra.

It would be smarter starting with the lower volume for awhile. If you feel like you’re recovering and lifts keep going up, you can look into increasing the volume a little bit as long as progress and recovery isn’t hindered.

Those were some heavy ass rack pulls the other day. Get better and hope you heal quick JP!

Orals are known to kill appetites for some people. This is a big reason Jordan said he doesn’t take orals. Might be best to cut the orals out since you cannot grow if you cannot eat.

Curious to know if you had these digestion issues before starting tren or if they started after? Like Christoph mentioned, that’s a pretty high dose a of tren. Also, if you went from a cut to a bulk, your body may just not be used to the extra food yet. Couple of factors to consider but a good start is lowering that tren dosage.

Think you’ll be able to get away with no cardio and just increasing neat? Have you been able to hit that great conditioning in the past without implementing cardio? Notice a difference in your final package on preps with cardio vs without?
Best of luck the rest of prep!

I believe it’s not advised to inject more than 2ml in one injection sight at a time because it may not all get absorbed. I could be wrong. I read that in the past, just unsure if it’s true or not.
Anybody else able to elaborate on if that’s true or not?

In the long run when you look to eliminate calories further, taking carbs out on the rest days will be optimal. If you’re just beginning your cut diet and you have an active job after you do your cardio, carbs should be fine. But eventually when you hit a plateau, you’ll need to take calories out somewhere. Those carbs on days off from the gym should be some of the first calories taken out.
Experiment. See what works for you. As long as you make progress, no need to change things.

Jan/Reece – if you’re that active on your rest days, then yes, I would incorporate some carbs into your rest days IF you feel like you need them. I’d try and fit those carbs in before your active job or during a lunch hour. I personally would opt for a complex carb source(brown rice, sweet potato, oatmeal) just because that carb meal will be your main source of fuel for the day and slower absorbing carbs may allow the energy from the carbs to last longer. BUT if you prefer a simple carb source and you don’t have any kind of carb crash after, then that’s perfectly fine as well. More about your personal preference. All imo of course. Jordan’s thoughts might differ.

Michael – whichever order you choose will be based on personal preference. One is not better than the other. The main thing is not having legs and pull back to back without rest.

Your goal won’t change your type of training very much. As a beginner, it’s smart to do a full body split to get your body used to the exercises. JP has a good article on beginners forming a workout in the Articles section.
Your main goal should be learning the form of each exercise and progressing the weight/reps each week.
Regarding building muscle or cutting fat, that will come down to your diet. If you want to drop bodyfat, then you’ll need to each in a caloric deficit. If you want to focus in building muscle, you’ll need to eat in a caloric surplus.

Sounds like you have a lot of things you will want to get addressed here. A doctor would be best to consult with regarding the pain. Sleep is VERY important. Be sure you’re making time to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Be careful with the foods you have before bed and how much caffeine you are having. Put the phone down, turn off TV well over 30mins before bed and just let yourself unwind and maybe read a little to help get your body tired.

Noticing that right now. Less than a week of this run left, so toughing it out. Thanks for the input guys!

If wanting to keep insulin sensitivity high, keep carbs very low/trace on rest days. You aren’t lifting, so your body doesn’t need the energy. Protein + fat meals are best for your off days to keep body fat off. If you have no problem with creeping up, then add a little bit of carbs in.
My body adds body fat quite easily, so the only carbs I have on rest days are from veggies.

Gotta love the monthly food bill! Mine isn’t bad because I try and stock up when they have deals and what not. Mines like $120-150.
Bet JP’s gets bad in the offseason when trying to push the weight 🙂
