    Depends on body composition. If that is in a great spot cals can stay the same unless/until you see a negative return in body composition. Main thing is maintaining training integrity and fueling performance and recovery

    Given your adherence level, I don’t think an aggressive diet would be the place to start. Sounds like you just need to train yourself to form consistency on a plan, and once you can adhere to that fully then continue pushing the diet

    Yes. More upright I consider primarily tricep and secondarily chest, more of a lean into it I consider it pretty equal of both

    If recovery is great, add another set and see how it continues to go, you can start with a less dominant body part

    Fortunately it’s in high demand, a little extra time shows you how good of a product you’re getting 🙂

    I wouldn’t go into a deficit, but since expenditure will be lower it won’t be a problem to lower cals just a bit

    I haven’t trained with those particular people, but imo there’s no one way that is the best way. The best thing you can do is pay attention to everyone, success leaves clues, take bits and pieces and apply it to yourself finding a combo of what works for you.
    At the end of the day whatever you do, the intent and effort with progression over time is what matters most

    Cybex for the smith is my favorite

    Prime fitness prodigy rack would be a great add

    What about some leg equipment, Atlantis hack squat pro and Atlantis pendulum pro are stellar

    November 29, 2025 at 2:17 pm in reply to: Calories increase approach

    Personally I always come out of prep and increase fats to a baseline, and from there carbs are what I mostly increase, the only other time I’ll increase fats is if carbs reach such a high amount that adding a bit more fats would aid in increasing cals without the volume. Also if soreness level seems high despite training being nailed fats tend to help me with better recovery

    Benadryl LOL, not sure if that’s the best advice, but that’s what work for me in deep prep. But that’s with all of my other variables and sleep habits being 100% dialed in, leaving that being my only option

    You really can’t go wrong with any of them in Vegas. There’s a lot of options. I recommend looking them all up on instagram and choosing which looks like you’d enjoy the most
    Dragons lair, powerhouse, strength culture, newtech gym, torture gym, fit club, lvac, cult fitness

    Whatever one you feel like trying that you can stick to and enjoy, run it for a while and intently progress every session and assess from there

    It’s only too many if you can’t recover from it and aren’t progressing session to session
