Water loading 1 week before holiday?
So I’m 1 week away from going on my holiday. Currently sitting at 69.5kg around 10% body fat at 5ft”7 & have lowered my carbs to around 100g this week, (probably going to reduce this even more). My mate (A personal trainer) text me asking me if I’m water loading yet, so I am curious to know exactly how this works. My…

Training abs 2 weeks before holiday?
Am I wasting my time doing my abs when cutting? My assumptions are that its highly unlikely I can improve my abs in 3 weeks, but reducing body fat would help to reveal them? Therefore am I best to do cardio to improve my abs rather than ab workouts? Or is a combination the best method? Any suggestions would help thanks.

Creatine
I’m trying to cut for my holiday in 25 days, but it’s kinda difficult to track progress whilst on creatine. I recently came off creatine between 15/06/2016 for 10 days due to a holiday. For the past 10 days I’ve just been taking 1 x 5g serving per day, (I used to take 10g per day). I notice that if I don’t take creatine my…

ABS when cutting.
Is it possible to build/improve my abs whilst cutting? I know I can cut the fat from my stomach with the correct diet and training... but wouldn't I be better to do cardio to remove the fat, rather than trying to actually build muscles? Or should I do both abs and cardio? I very much regret not training my abs when…

Is 20mins HIIT training enough?
Tonight I plan on going on the bike (in the gym). Following 'lean in 15' apparently 20 mins is enough. I plan to go flat out for 20 seconds then 40 seconds light pedalling. X 20 = 20 mins? After this I plan to train my biceps and triceps. Any thoughts?

Pre workout meals/snack options?
I’ve just started cutting last week & would like a few quick and easy pre-workout snacks suggestions, to help boost my energy during sessions. I don’t really have many carbs after lunch, maybe this is something I should look to change. I was used to eating carbs in the morning to fuel my day, but now I think I need to eat…

Mutant Mass 1000kcal shake
Has anyone taken Mutant mass? (1000kcal shake). Tempted to take them for 1 month, to try and add some additional size, before a 3 month cut. Unsure on my body fat percentage, but roughly around 15%. Would like any general feedback regarding mutant mass please!

About to start my cut... A few questions.
I’m starting my cut this Friday (13/05/2016), leaving me 11 weeks until my holiday. I have a few questions; as I’ve never been through the cutting stage before. Information about me: · Age: 22 · Height 5ft8” · Weight: 72kg/159lbs · BF%: Measured at 10.3% using callipers, I’d suggest slightly above that. · I plan to train 3…

BF % - How long to bulk and cut
This weekend I measured my body fat percentage using the ‘Yuhasz skinfold test’ & my body fat comes out at 10.33%. From pictures I’d say like to say maybe 11/12%. I have 14 weeks left until my holiday & still uncertain on how long to bulk then cut for. I’d like to add some size before cutting, but unsure on the period of…

Technique/form vs weight when bulking
I’ve been trying heavier weights in the gym, especially over the last few months. As an example, I was doing shoulder press yesterday with 28kg, which I would normally do for around 3 sets of 8… but I don’t necessarily feel it working my shoulders, although it is heavy and difficult enough to lift, especially with the back…

LEGS!!
So I have 16 weeks until I’m on holiday wearing shorts every day and I really want to focus on my legs. My legs are strong but not massive (neither small). I’d mainly like to define my quads and add a little size. I’m thinking about training legs twice a week with intense sessions and the if I can squeeze in a 3rd session…

Bulking then cutting question
I'm 5ft 7, weighing 72kg... Looking to add size/lean muscle for a few more months before cutting. I have a sedentary job, but train in the gym at least 4-5 times per week and also play football one night per week. Below are the macros I have calculated for bulking... I want to do this for 3 months and then begin a cut.…

Heavy lifting without surplus
Just wondering, if you're lifting heavy trying to bulk, but your not eating a surplus of calories, what happens? Will you become more shredded?

Cyclone / all in one's...
What do you all think of cyclone? A little overpriced but in my opinion very good. Contains creatine & BCAA's as well as protein and carbs. A good all in one if a deal can be done on it I think! Probably cheaper than buying creatine & BCAA's seperately... + less hassle. Anyone got any similar alternatives to this?

Supplement questions.
Are there any good supplements that have BCAA’S, Creatine and Beta-Alinine in? I'd like to take all of the supplements together, rather than scooping from 3 different packets. If not all three something close to this? I think my protein do something called fuse, which has a small amount of creatine and some BCAA’s. Thanks…
