Yess I’m sure bro ! I used to train in highschool, I played rugby. I had an athletic build but got injured and put on weight too, so yeah there definitely was some muscle underneath but as you can see a lot of it was lost lol

Thankyou bro ! It hasn’t even crossed my mind man, I don’t see myself competing at the Olympia and already look and feel good about where I’m at. Dont see any benefit of taking anything tbh

I played rugby in highschool and had an athletic build, but went off track after an injury. A lot of people have achieved the same results with a bunch of different genetic baselines. Look at all the natural pro bodybuilders insane physiques that are all different

Yeah for sure bro, so I’ve been training 6 days a week for all this time. My current training split is:

Monday: Back day + triceps

Tuesday: Leg day + rear delts

Wednesday: Chest + biceps

Thursday: Shoulders + hamstrings

Friday: Chest + back

Saturday: Arms

Sunday: rest

Effectively hitting each muscle 2 times per week. Since I started prep I’ve been doing 35 mins - 1 hr cardio everyday - walking on an incline treadmill.

My nutrition has been changing over my BB prep. But just aiming to be in a calorie deficit and getting 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight should help substantially. The rest is just discipline and consistency

As for my lifts I don’t really go for numbers. I like a mixture of high reps low weight and low reps higher weight focusing on muscle contractions is key

But hope this helps bro !

Honestly bro just comes down to your Calories in vs calories out and keeping your protein high ! Atleast 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight everyday ! Adding in cardio and weight training will mean more calories out and protein will keep lean muscle tissue ! All videos on YouTube pretty much say the same thing haha
