    Excellent work man!

    I don’t think there’s a specific timeline for everyone. It all just depends on your schedule if you’re competing, taking PED’s, etc that dictate how you lay out your phases

    Overall just take it week by week and take weekly pics to make sure you are moving at the rate that you want to see

    Train harder within each session. If you’re maxed on effort and feel you can add more volume then do so.
    But definitely take a rest day or two per week

    MPS Max mid session would do the trick

    Carb sources post workout you can include honey and banana with the rice. Or if you do well with bread then I like bagels

    I’d pull 300-500 cal daily via fats and carbs
    Increase expenditure adding some direct cardio that elevates heart rate like 25 min 5x/week

    Take photos weekly and assess progress based on visual, body weight, and gym performance

    Adjust plan accordingly based on if you are progressing or not

    I personally do not “track” it within my protein amounts, but I use the same serving every day and the same serving size of meat every day
    So nothing is changing day to day

    Second what Jordan says here!

    There’s no need. Only what you connect best with and can progress

    April 29, 2023 at 7:45 pm in reply to: Quads (short position)

    There’s times where I’ve done it at the beginning, another phase in the middle, another phase at the end

    I tend to lean more toward preferring it in the middle
    I find at the beginning it fatigues my quads too much and my connection is not as good on my compounds
    But if I put it all the way at the end my knees don’t do well with it there

    I personally do like to add a pause to my back off set most times. I just like the feel of it.

    You just have to try it man and see if you like it, can recover from it, and progress with it!

    Just make sure in the pause you’re keeping the tension on the muscle

    Are you following a structured diet now?
    If so, take the amount you are currently eating and decrease it, and increase expenditure
    Take photos of yourself weekly to track progress
    If you are seeing steady progress, keep going
    If progress stalls, adjust plan accordingly

    You answered your own question here man! How much progress are you leaving on the table by not being consistent with the things you know that will produce the results?
    If you’re comfortable with subpar results then subpar effort is fine.
    But if you are asking here how your progress is, I assume you care about the rate at which it happens!
    It’s also hard for us to say how your progress is being we have nothing from you to compare it to.

    But my advice would be to get consistent with the things you know you are slacking on, and devote yourself to a fat loss goal and see the progress happen for yourself!

    My thoughts on it align exactly has Jordan has already explained here very well for you

    It all depends on the person and the season they are in
    I have people that do really well on high fat low carb, others with hardly any fat and high carb, and others who do well with a combo of both

    It’s going to come down to digestion, recovery, and hormones

    Really just have to try one way and see how you like it and then adjust accordingly!
