I would honestly recommend a coach, it seems as though you could benefit not only physically, but mentally by taking the confusion and distress off of yourself and putting your confidence in a coach

MemberFebruary 11, 2026 at 12:29 am in reply to: Knee wraps and elbow sleeves for pure bodybuildingHonestly it just comes down to what keeps you truly progressing over long periods of time without injury. If that’s without sleeves, great. If that’s with sleeves then I think it can be fine too, but only as long as you are not compensating
To touch on your last question, lowering the weight to set a new base is not going to cause muscle loss as long as from that base your goal is still progression

I turned pro and won pro shows without ever knowing what that was or why it mattered. And I am no genetic anomaly.
I think there comes a point and time when you’re so advanced that you need to take these things into account, but for the great majority it is not something they need to be concerned withTBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

I have pretty much always had a difference in carbs on training days vs non training days in every season deficit and surplus

Honestly man the best thing to do is not overthink it and just pick one that you think you’d enjoy the most and adhere to consistently over time and give that a good run for a while aiming to progress session to session and I promise you’ll see progress

That’s going to be a slower movement to progress anyways. If you are still getting a good stimulus just keep at it. If you’re not making progress at all in the gym or physique then switch

Honestly you could just do all three divisions for fun. But if legs are going to be more lagging than they are in these pics due to the hip replacement then I’d do men’s physique.
If they bounce back and you want to do men’s bb just learn how to pose them betterTBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

It’s super easy to make your own version of simple meal options instead of going for processes sources.
Carb sources: Cream of rice, oats, fruit, honey
Protein sources: whey iso, egg whites
Fat sources: almond butter, coconut oil, nuts

Yes this is quite normal so you’re able to gradually pull down, and take any necessary breaks to continue progressing forward
It is only a detriment if you are driving down hard that entire timeTBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

Just get to growing bud. No need to drastically increase cals all at once. Just gradually work them up and focus on training progressively!

But ultimately all that would matter is if it is your hearts desire to compete then yes it is possible. Why not just try and see?TBJP Nutrition: Michaela10

I would look to reduce the pressing movements if you see a hindrance in progression
