    I personally cannot do stairs for cardio as it overly flattens my legs so I stick to the recumbent bike. You kind of just have to trial and error it for yourself and see what works best for you

    Is there a specific reason you want to follow an upper lower split and not a “bro” split or PPL?

    I think you have a good physique, just need equal development everywhere and maybe a bit extra work to the back wouldn’t hurt!

    there is no specific reason for me to do upper and lower, I’m just looking for a better division to develop myself, do you think that push, pull, rest, Legs, repeat would fit better?[/quote]
    Yeah others in the group may have a different opinion, but if I were personally advising or coaching you I’d have you do PPL

    No, 4 is not too low if your effort is there. I grow on 3 days per week.

    But in terms of your split here, why not just train less consecutive days and implement rest days between?

    I would just start dieting with no date in mind and see how the progress goes and then make plans from there with a timeline

    July 22, 2023 at 2:11 am in reply to: Not using belt and hernia

    No, if anything the belt can contribute to a hernia because of the pressure

    The best thing you can do is build a strong core and focus on proper breathing in your training

    But also remember, hernias come through weak fascia, not necessarily a weak core

    Question…

    Do you get feedback from judging usually, or do you prefer to step back and use you and your coach’s opinions?

    I am my own coach lol but yes I get judges feedback as well

    If it was that then the only way to know is to drop it and wait and see. Maybe a week. If after that there is still no improvement then try eliminating something else
