    Which class are you thinking of entering ? We can only see a rear double. Add some front shots in too so we can see the rest of your physique

    In an off season scenario or for a lifestyle bodybuilder, then I agree with Jordan, rotating food sources can be beneficial for more variety and getting a wider spectrum of nutrients. Providing the foods you’re switching are of quality and you’re simply alternating protein, fat and carbs sources and not just aiming to hit a calorie target, regardless of quality or macro/fibre/nutrient content.

    In a pre contest prep scenario, then I think it’s important to be more rigid to ensure the feedback you’re getting is as accurate as possible which makes it easier to know what changes need to be made.

    Thanks Clare. I appreciate it

    A lot of us will eat with a flexible structure , in that during an offseason when cals are high , we may swap rice for cream of rice , or swap red meat for fish , or swap seeds for seed butter , or have one type of fruit over another – however the focus will still be on quality of food , hitting the types of fat we want , the fibre needed and carbs that digest the best. This level of flexibility allows you a fairly nice variety of food choices but keeps things extremely accurate and in line with the goal.

    Just eating anything and cracking it into my fitness pal, no I think that’s pretty sub par , that’s how I used to eat when I was 16/17/18 years old , I would eat and just tally up my calories for the day and just make sure I hit my calories needed , it’s a pretty meh approach if the goals you vocalise having are high . If the goal is to just look decent, be fairly strong and the biggest priority is flexibility , it’s ideal . If you utter the words that you want to be better than just decent , be way more accurate and control things more

    ???? Thanks Jordan

    How much do you weigh?

    I would generally suggest between 4-8000mg sodium per day split evenly between meals and intra shake. Start at the lower end and then increase as needed.

    I always add pink salt to my intra shake to replace electrolytes lost during training. ?

    Cool

    Weigh the salt you are having per meal. Typically 2.5G salt is 1000mg sodium.

    Salt can be beneficial intra training yes

    Thanks mate

    Hi mate

    What’s the reason for adding it in? What are you hoping it adds?

    Hi Rich. Just try that bar for a while and do some progressive overload, see how my body feels to the hex bar set up.

    I would like to know in which split to put it.
