Bloodwork is useful here

Check your sodium / potassium levels/ magnesium levels

Too much of any electrolyte can have negative consequences

For me personally, my sodium tends to be low in bloodwork, so I make an effort to get electrolytes in. I think for most bodybuilders eating clean food, they likely need more sodium, but let bloodwork answer…

How much has bodyweight changed over the last 3 weeks?

I hear that “positive” inflammation from training signals the body to repair and build stronger muscles

But I also hear that an anti-inflammatory diet (fruits, veggies, fatty fish, turmeric) is good for health, and thereby probably good for bodybuilding too.

But at the same time, you don’t wanna dull the positive inflammation, no?

How does one…

I would worry that you may end up in a caloric deficit on rest days. Probably move rest day carbs to at least 225

I get that HBCD can be a useful tool when dieting, to sustain gym performance.

But when you’re eating a bunch of carbs during the off season, is it really worth it?

Does the added energy make a difference (compared to let’s say just having 25g more carbs in your preworkout meal)

Similarly for EAAs, how important are they, if you eat your premeal…

Just wanted to say that you seem like a thoughtful soul. The couple of podcasts I’ve listened to of yours, have always made me reflect on my life, and the decisions I make. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. Keep it up!

Ah ok then, I think I might go with Upper Lower then.

I saw faster strength gains with Upper Lower and Full Body then with Push Pull Legs (though my training age was younger when I did them), so was thinking of optimizing for frequency.

Hey everyone!

I wrote this split, inspired by JP’s recent modified full body adventures.

I’d love to hear your feedback on it, just did my first session of it today, to get a feel for things. Only 4 sets of quads, but I was quite satisifed with the quad pump!

Context: I’ve been training for around 2.5 years. 4 months Full Body, then a year of…
