The multiple sets of 350lb for sets of 15. I live in a much smaller country, so less lifters but with a very close nit community, I don’t know any natty bodybuilder banging out 350 For those sets and reps I train in a gym with multiple natty pros Ifbb pros, nabba pros and world level strength athletes

Depends on the supplementation your suggesting, if you can define that I can define light https://youtu.be/3abdfR8M5XY

Think you may have missed out some vital supplements in that analogy Also jay, dexter and others lifted ‘light’ weights and won multiple mr O’s

Been at maintenance for nearly 2 weeks Dropped about 4 lb of water what takes me to 231lb, going to push the deficit slightly as I’m not particularly lean, I’d like to be under 220lb by the Christmas holidays with a planned diet break then.

Congrats !!! I personally used to binge on cream cakes And doughnuts 🍩 probably more like 5k of cals in an hour though 😂

But what if I want quick insulin responses ? with it been the most anti catabolic hormone in the human body? May come in handy at some point

I usually take 1-2 days a week off training for recovery purposes, I train purely for hypertrophy. I have to admit though I do miss training on those Days

Mines pretty simple I use my gym belt I have 4 holes in my lifting belt that get used Notch 1. Nearly stage lean Notch 2 lean and looking good Notch 3 little bit fluffy usually bulking Notch 4. Oi your getting fat, time to cut Simply but accurate 😃

Even as an advanced trainer I still ease into a new workout, different exercises will target different parts of the muscles and mild doms are expected, jumping head long into a new routine is plain asking bad doms. Do you get blood work done privately or though your GP ? I usually advice A full work up at least 2 yearly

So you have access to a gym in your area

If you want to get to a genuine 10% bf I’d ease up on the hikes and hiit training. Concentrate on a solid resistance training Program while been in a calorie deficit It’s a lot harder to build muscle in a deficit Especially as you get nearer your goal Make a decision on what exact goal you want and adapt training nutrition…

Just approaching 42, long a long streak on here as well, feel free to add to chat exchange fitness ideas

Hi as someone with spinal issues myself I know what your going through, well done in joining a gym and sorting your diet, we all crave sweet things from time to time, feel free to add if you like

I have nothing to offer on the gastric bypass situation bu can certainly empathise with the sibling situation, feel free to add me for encouragement and if u ever need to chat vent

Welcome back, we all have our issues, good and bad, supporting each other in our journey is always helpful, feel free to add And good luck

Finished up at fluffy and hairy 235lb

This will be me in 2 weeks 😂

Just over 4 months, including glycogen and water up 12-13 lb, I expect t drop a few pounds of water when I drop to maintenance. I think/hope I’ve made improvements to my weak points, will be very happy with 1lb of muscle

Calling an end to my bulk after today’s session, going to maintenance for 2 weeks Then far loss phase, going to miss all the food 😂

From what I’ve read keto seems fine For the preservation of muscle but appears Inferior for hypertrophy for all the reasons @ninerbuff has pointed out. Coupled to your age, hormone levels and eating style I’d say your putting yourself at a disadvantage if hypertrophy is your goal Reference for those interested…

Nice steady bulking going on here Will have to cut it shorter than planned though, apparently my weight cap for amateur classic physique isn’t as high is I thought, may have to sacrifice one of my legs below the knee to make weight 😂

What is your actual goal ?

I am a trainer, all be not theirs There are basic procedures to follow professionally and ethically. Personally I’d refer this person to a specialist Sports rehabilitationist, someone who can diagnose their current situation and prescribe personalised rehabilitation I do this on a regular basis, I’m lucky enough to have…

As a trainer your never assume a client’s limitations, hence the assessment No impact sports would make me very wary of axial loading of the knee

I didn’t disagree btw but after surgery on her knee I’d be reluctant to advice most of those exercises without at least a basic parQ assessment

Totally! What I could do in my 20’s early 30’s Is distant memory now I’m in my 40’s

Ai’s are generally only used in the last few weeks before competition. The more estrogen in the body the better it will grow so taking an Ai In the off season is counter productive. Top amateur and pro’s will use insulin to help growth But also helps the pancreas which will be under a lot of stress to produce enough…

I bought the original celltech, burned like drinking battery acid 😂😂
