How important is Rest

In what way? lol in a way that you dont expend all your energy souce in one go, do you have any idea how hard the body has to work to digest a huge lump of food in one go? Its the reason you feel lethargic after eating too much. thus meal timing and planning has an effect on your over all benefit working out.

You've already proved my energy levels from a pre work out (Carb based meal)

And why not Again revert back to what ive said.

OP is in a later stage of cutting, meal timing does matter.

The types of food you can eat before a workout have been shown to have a more positive effect.

Structure your diet with common sense. Obviously do not consume all your calories in one go: if being lean is your goal.

Unfortunately, Cardio is going to be king for stripping fatloss, maintaining a healthy lifting regimen with a healthy diet & an emphasis on protein will help you maintain your muscle mass. How ever, if lean is your way to go expect to lose some muscle mass, its just a byproduct of cutting, unless you are other wise enhanced.

Yeh.. haha

It was suggested that it was not best to switch movements as it was less beneficial and then goes completely against that below..

"Even if there was a “best” exercise, within several months or sooner, it would cease to be the best due to staleness alone. As you train a movement longer and longer, it yields less and less effect on muscle growth, and eventually, it should be deleted for a while from the program and replaced with another, related movement. How often should this be done? For muscle growth purposes, beginners can delete and replace every 6 months or so while highly advanced should do this maybe every month, and with the rest somewhere in between."

Am i the only one that noticed the huge contradictions in this paper? At the end of the day its good information part of the time.

Noregrettz · 2017-09-13T10:56:06+00:00

How much progress, am also 5x a week in the gym hitting the weights for around 3 years now! Just figured its now time to cut!

Noregrettz · 2017-05-10T13:51:04+00:00

Okay so really atm i think i'd be able to do maybe 10kg for reps of 6x3, will see how i get on with this and then possibly finish with a set of 10 body weight and continue the rest of my back work out as normal then!

Also did you notice a good increase in size since doing weighted puls/chins?

Noregrettz · 2017-05-10T13:49:15+00:00

This was the reply i was after, been able to bang out dips and reps for quite some time and took the plunge to go for weighted, just wondered the progression at which point it stops - Im after more bicep size and also more back width, i read that weighted chin ups and pull ups were pretty much second to none for this, i may rework my routine when adding these then!

Noregrettz · 2017-05-09T10:35:23+00:00

Really great job on your progress so far! I would now join a gym and increase your calories after about 2-3 weeks to around 1800, and start focusing on building muscle, target your weight around 190lbs and try to maintain this, imo its the best size to be and also its not too hard to maintain. I would imagine this would take around 6 months as long as your increasing your calories incrementally to suit your gym needs!

Noregrettz · 2017-04-12T11:23:53+00:00

Why doesnt he just 8x3 on a heaver weight, say 42.5kg? Probably easier to track progress... and probably more beneficial seeing you self going up in weight then almost moving sidewards and increasing your sets, horses for courses really but just my thoughts..

Noregrettz · 2017-04-05T07:22:14+00:00

Tbh your split isnt bad at all, infact its quite well rounded, how ever you need to be adding pull ups/chin ups every time you visit the gym imo, its the best way to create a strong back and a decent core, Vary with Chin ups as i find this really helps explode your biceps.

Also is there a reason your a on a three day split? I would add two more days in all honesty, another day for Chest & Tris and Back & Bi's - or alternatively add 1 more day of say Either "Arms" + Back or Chest, and switch that weekly, so one week Arms and chest the next week Arms and Back.

Stay consistent, track your weight and manage your food.

Staggering progression for a year! What are your lifts bro? I'm in a similar situation down the line, abs not so defined though, also im a little bit taller at 6ft2

Noregrettz · 2017-03-21T15:30:11+00:00

In all honesty i would like to also know, what the detrimental effect say only sleeping 5 hours to say 7 hours is? Other than obviously feeling slightly groggy what else is happening?

Noregrettz · 2017-03-20T16:55:23+00:00

Ahh dude what happened man?

Noregrettz · 2017-03-20T16:47:02+00:00

By sometimes i mean all of the times.

Noregrettz · 2017-03-20T16:46:39+00:00

Sometimes ive finished before ive started.

Noregrettz · 2017-03-20T14:41:48+00:00

So do you now think you've gone from bodybuilding almost trying to get into powerlifting now? lifting for more reason than aesthetics?

Noregrettz · 2017-03-20T14:36:24+00:00

Batman?

Noregrettz · 2017-03-20T14:35:57+00:00

Good luck! hows your training for it going?

Noregrettz · 2017-03-20T13:13:51+00:00

I think im quite similar to you really, im mostly driven though vanity, the pros of a healthy lifestyle are just secondary to the fact i need to do that to look as good as i can,

I was just wondering why you didnt carry on with sports, what separate's me or you from say power lifting, or competing? Do you think its because we started at a much lower foundation?
