    Just pick one and see if it elicits a change! If so keep rolling, if not, make another change!

    I personally love them. Just make sure to keep the tension on the muscle even at the pause

    I’ve never had that issue with it personally. Do you mind if I ask what brand you are using?
    I use TBJP sustain every training session with zero issues!

    I don’t drink, never have. But I’ve always heard most that are trying to do as you’ve mentioned stick with vodka base

  • If you want to start a cut I would do it now and be pretty aggressive with it to make it short and sweet, but I would try to have it wrapped up and be pushing back up to a surplus before you deploy, because in my opinion if you deploy straight from a cut your chances of losing more muscle are higher

    Yeah that’s certainly not something I would recommend in terms of being best for recovery and muscle retention

    Do you have to train fasted? Do you have time to get a meal in prior to or ability to train at another time of day?

    I think it would be good for you to split your chest and back to give them each individual focus, and also not have a shoulder day following a chest day

    If you don’t want to go with the push pull approach like above have mentioned, here’s another option to give each individual focus

    Back
    Chest
    Off
    Legs
    Shoulders
    Arms
    Off

    You can go ahead and do both
    I’d knock the cardio and steps down a bit for recover reasons but keeping some in for general health and fitness maintenance

    Cals you just go by feel and look, start out with 3-500 bump first week and then assess from there

    You can also do higher bumps on weaker body part days, and lower bumps on non training days if you don’t want to do a large jump across all days

    It’s all individual.
    Ultimately just go by your rate of progression and how you feel!

    If progression slows and you also feel overly run down and like you can’t recover, then you could try lowering volume and see if you notice a benefit

    Until then, as long as you’re feeling good and progressing I’d keep rolling with it!
