Continue on with the self educating from respectable sources as you have been, trial and error with yourself, coach people for free and produce results with them for a while and establish a track record along with knowledge through experience, and then you can start charging

I think you could be good for a bit of a pull back, it doesn’t have to be for long, just enough to reestablish sleep quality, recovery, bloodwork etc and then crack back on!

Just off the info provided here I would plan on pushing into the holiday, enjoy yourself on the holiday, and then see where things are at after that and base the plan accordingly!

Ultimately it’s all just taken one day at a time, May is still a few months away so you will just have to determine how the progress goes over the coming weeks!

Exactly what Oscar said here!

Pick movements that feel good and you can progress and don’t overthink it!

Quads today!

Yesterday I got some critiques from Joe Bennett on some of my movements and he’d ideally like to see a bit more knee flexion in my smith squats and feet under me a bit more. I’m my own worst critic so it’s something I knew already and get frustrated about because I just cannot get my feet under me more without compromising hip and knees even more. But it is something I need to continually work on with mobility and stretching along with needing to get my hips aligned as I feel very crooked.

Anyways! Warmed up on those today and just could not get in a structural groove at all so I opted to live to see another day and swapped with hack squat. Honestly it felt good! I’m just not very strong on it as it’s been forever since doing it lol

Pros and cons are individual. So just try it and see for yourself if you like it and progress on it based on your physique and your goals

If you can’t lock yourself into the seat by holding yourself down, or utilizing a seat belt, or having someone assist you, then just switch to free weight dips

Hey Ameer, If you feel as if you still have more fat to lose then just continue doing so! Maybe consider lowering your fats but be sure to keep essential fats in like your omega 3’s

Exactly what Haider said. And I am the same way myself with my entire left side.

Do you get any massage work done?

I see a large variance in how people tolerate yohimbine. I don’t think it is a must, I’ve done preps with and without it and get equally as peeled. Clen will be far more effective if you need an aid.

I don’t have any answers for this, I apologize. But I am genuinely interested to hear what everyone else has to say on it!
I believe Kuba is well versed on the subject.

As everyone else said here, all the info you need to answer this question you can find on Jordan’s YouTube!
And of course take into account what you actually enjoy also, as in don’t just follow something you feel like you “ have” to. Enjoyment matters too!

I cannot see the pics. So those will be helpful!
But until then, I’d say your food is rather low so if you were to do that short of a recomp phase it would be a rather hard push. So you have to weigh your options on what’s worth more, just continuing to progress in a muscle gaining phase without trying to take body fat any higher, or sacrifice some time in a hard deficit.

How far away would your actual prep be?
