When you swap out foods for more filling things in prep. Do you still like faster digesting protein like peptopro or whey post workout? Or will you swap it for chicken or lean meats? Is there much in it recovery wise?

Looks like a lot of lower back loading to me.

For Pull you have Dead lifts and bent over rows. Then for legs the next day you have back squats and stiff leg Dead lifts.
I’d just dead lift for either back or legs. Not both. I tried this and i was wrecked within 2 weeks.
Right now i’m concentrating on bar and db RDLs on leg days. Once these plateau i will switch them for deadlifts, Rack pulls, on back day, and just do leg curls for hamstrings. One rotation i dont do any heavy pulling just to give my lower back a break.

So i do as my main movements:

Pull 1 – Neutral grip pull up and Barbel row
Pull 2 – Cable Row and cable pull down
Pull 3 – Hammer Pull down, Db row

Legs 1 – Hack Squat and Bar RDL
Legs 2 – Pendulum squat and DB RDL
Legs 3 – Safety Squat and GHR

How long before a meal do you guys take the R-ALA?
I’m currently waiting 20-25 minutes, as thats what it on the back of the Matador bottle.
Also Jordan said in the ALA Video he doesnt like Berberine HCL as it down regulates MTOR. Yet advises taking Matador? Is there not enough Berberine in Matador to worry about (even if taking 3-4 caps post workout)?

Protein is 280g a day.

Training day is now 280p/500c/100f, off day is 280p/100c/180f, plus the calories from veg, salad, fish oils that i dont count. Plus the odd treat!

Body weight is 185.4 lbs after three training days on the trot. I’m 5’7″ and still very lean. Glutes still have veins showing, but only when fresh out of bed! I finished my cut at 171.8, and started my bulk at 175.4 after a short cruise. Now dropped all cardio as on off days i was doing 30mins LISS. Just doing my daily 25 minute dog walk before breakfast.

Yesterdays leg session was the first time where i “SMASHED” my log book. I’ve been progressing weekly but last night i just felt good so added a touch more weight than planned, then did that plus more reps than i was aiming for. Got 9 reps of 190kg + bar on safety squats. These are a hard movement for me and last time i did them i got 185 for a shoddy 7. Only thing i changed was the food increase, and i added 30g of carbs to my pre-pre-workout meal. So i may implement this as well.

Indeed. I’ll be adding in another 50g on Friday. This will take me up to 500g a day. Highest I’ve gone is about 350g in the past and that had me getting out of shape pretty quickly.

Rest days I’m on 180g of fat and less than 100g of carbs!! Just over 3100 calories in total. 1000 less than training days.

[Rotties]

Fair enough. I’m upping food every week by adding in 50g of carbs. 8 weeks and the weight has only really started to stay on. I’d gain, then have a low day, drop 5lbs and have to work up again.

I’ve used SiS and the Test E is smooth, so is the NPP and EQ. By smooth i mean you know that an inch of metal has been stuck in you, but nothing thats going to effect life.

It will probably get better as the sites get “broken in”.

Hi Jordan,

Certain exercises like pull ups, dips and close grip press ups i see you sometimes add on a 3rd set. Do you do this just for pump/volume? If this 3rd set wasn’t progressing, would you drop it?

Also in the new Push video with Sasan you do a close grip smith press for one set, then dips for one set? Any particular reason or just going by feel?

The hunger thing is good news to me . My calorie intake is the highest i’ve ever gone and im hungry the whole day until peri-workout.
Still struggling to put on weight and i’m half way through my cycle! 🙁

What do you think of Front Squats as a quad builder? Do you ever do them?

[Rotties]

Cheers. I’ll try it at 10mg, 60-75 minutes pre-workout and see how i get on. As you say i can always up it to 20mg if i dont notice much.

[Rotties]

10mg an hour before is great. Also helps with my BP.

Using 25mg viagra at the minute as got a load free from a AAS source. Taken 30-35 mins preworkout it has the same pump effect but not as good for blood pressure.

[Rotties]

Any advise would be appreciated on this guys?

Thanks ????

I get 50g of peanut butter, 1 large tsp of Raw Cocoa, 1 tsp of Truvia, and 50g Whey conc. Mix using a little almond milk to make a really dense paste. Add a few drops of My Protein Toffee flavoring to taste! PROPER Yum!

[Rotties]

Cool… I have a set of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1kgs that i may well start to utilize.
Thinking about it if you can add 1kg every 2 weeks over a year, that’s 25kg plus! That’s surely got to have made something grow!? haha

The fats will soon add up once carbs get high anyway, so adding additional fats probably isn’t the best idea. 300g+ of carbs PWO for me at the moment and i struggle with carb choices to keep fat below 10g.
If having ground rice pre-workout i’ll add in 10g of coconut oil. Otherwise the carbs start to make me sleepy as i go into my workout. Adding a bit of fat, or using oats instead of the ground rice solves this.
