So I split my lifts between two different gyms because my son has bjj and I lift during his class. When I’m there they don’t have a peck deck so resort to cable cross over standing. My question is how do I get more out of this movement? Dumbbell flys feel useless so I just use cables but I find it difficult to connect with and get good… Read more

Thanks for the replies everyone!

My question is how do you decide when to add food because hunger is likely not a reliable metric. What are the things to track and look for to make the deduction to add food

I’m having difficulties I’m trying to upload a photo and I isn’t working I will have to figure this out my apologies

That is a good point lol bodyweight 230 I started at 245 this picture is taken after meal 4

I am approaching the 8 week mark of my mini cut and I have come down 15 pounds however I still have fat on my his and stomach. Should I continue pushing down or take it as a lesson and not get so fat on my next push and continue with schedule

Thanks!

Thanks I appreciate that. Yeah I’m just trying to maintain performance for a few more weeks before increasing food again. Next march I want to get absolutely shredded in the example is it worth taking daily or still only pre-work out

I apologize I left out a way important part I’m also running 450 test e and 150 eq

I’m curious is anavar pre-work out only and not taken on rest days sufficient? Or should I take it daily?
I’m using it to maintain performance during a mini cut phase.

That is a good question. I guess I’ve just always taken it because I was told I need to, and out of fear of gyno I’ve never taken it out so perhaps it’s something I need to revisit and learn more about

Why no AI? How do you manage estrogen without it?

Thanks!

Thank you!

My apologies I titled this mini bulk I meant mini cut question

I’m curious. Is it more advantageous for a mini cut to do it shorter with a slightly higher deficit or a little longer with a smaller deficit
Example..8 weeks with a 300 calorie deficit or 6 weeks with a 500 calorie deficit.
Is this very individual or does it not matter at all?

So I’m on 450 test e for 20 weeks 2 weeks ago I introduced anavar about 2 weeks ago just 25 mgs on training days. I’ve been running into a problem of a turning purple during hard sets and getting headaches in the middle of heavy sets. Wtf could this be? I’m planning on a cruise at the end of this week. But is this possibly a symptom of high… Read more

Thanks everybody this is really helpful !

I’ve been working longer hours as it gets busier at workout and I’m running a PPL split which by nature leads to longer training sessions and it is leading me to getting shorter amount of sleep like 7 hours instead of 8. My question is would it be more beneficial to trim the length of the training sessions to ensure I’m sleeping enough or… Read more

So I know the general rule for PPL is 2 very very hard sets a loading set and a back off. Is the potential there to do only 1 working set for compound movement and 2 working set for isolation movements and still see optimal growth? Assuming intensity and recovery are on point.

Thanks for the replies! I’ve been running pull rest push legs rest repeat I’ve been doing 2 set of 1 tricep movement and 2 sets of 2 bicep movements I’ll try touching them up on leg day and see where it goes!

I find that at the end of my push and the end of my pull I am greatly fatigued and unable to train arms properly resulting in a 1 in loss of arm size while everything else as progressed greatly. Assuming that nutrition and recovery are optimal is there a solution to this problem other then suck it up?

Thanks everybody this is super helpful!

For myself I experience frequent bouts of elbow pain in my left elbow and when it is flaring up I put a sleeve on the left elbow only and I’ll put it on before I leave the house for the gym. That being said I use one that is more for comfort and warmth. Some elbow sleeves will assist slightly in the stretched position of presses and those from… Read more

So on my last rep of every set I find myself pushing that last rep so far that it might take 3-4 seconds just to get the weight up would this be considered going to far?

Can anyone offer some advice or insight on why my straps are completely smoked after my push day? I do my first chest focused press and then my upper chest shoulder focused press and after that I notice my traps are destroyed
