Hi mate been watching your videos regarding deloads which I’ve never done but tick all 10 signs for needing one😂so I understand upping your food on a diet break during prep but how do you adjust food on a push up when taking a Deload cheers

Whats classed as fat haha a lot of guys don’t show the offseason look and keep covered up

So if you’re in an offseason and using insulin how do you become less sensitive? Is it when your body fat percentage is higher? So if you was to use it after a cut at a low dose your more sensitive then ?

I really appreciate the feed back is great advice.

The big picture is I’ve kind of just played at it the last 2 years due to kids work and life things just get in the way. But it’s a clean start now but my diet has not been great?

My long term goals would be one day to compete again but short term is to grow and look like a bodybuilder again not a retired strongman?

I apologise in advance for asking all the advice it’s more of my goal being to lean down and back into a gaining phase how aggressive would the mini cut be??

I’d start by tidying up your diet, follow a training and diet plan, add in some cardio, then see how your body responds. You’ll likely re-comp a little just by doing this. Then you can start chipping away at your diet and/or increasing your output as you go. If you want to speed things up, dig deeper.

So with what I mean by strict would be no carbs in meals except post workout not even intra. Closer to the show my carbs went from rice to pineapple post workout. Zero cheat meals etc so with contest prep it kind of got stricter the closer I got obviously to keep my body changing but with a mini cut would you start it like a prep or start it like the last 4-6 weeks of prep. And what my problem is like the am cardio as I work a full time job and have children on my own so my cardio would have to be squeezed in at the end of the session.
