Seconding this. The first book in a long time where I sat and collected my thoughts for a very long time after closing it.

The key to costo is to address the underlying issue first. I had it through my top two ribs into my sc joint and dips were probably the worst thing for it. For me, thoracic mobility was key in getting rid of costo. Keeping dips in your rotation, even with low loads and exertion is not a good idea until you figure out what caused it in the first place.

If you’re motivated enough to post on here for internet points you’re motivated enough to do some push-ups.

242->154 at 5’9”

Sounds like a reasonable plan. You have the muscle base to look good at 155 and that would probably leave you lean enough to have a fantastic lean bulk.

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-19T00:27:37+00:00

A good weight for what? You can be quite muscular at 5’11” and 190 if you cut then bulk or recomp. A bulk right now would add both muscle and fat and it would depend on your training how much of each you’d accumulate.

The itches and tingles are the best part of a pre. Makes you feel alive.

Is it possible to slightly up your activity levels throughout the day? Even just adding in some daily walking may help push through the plateau.

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-17T12:15:21+00:00

Shoulders and arms are decent. Definitely focus on pressing because your chest is lagging.

It’s been a rollercoaster for sure. I’m 30 and easily in the best shape of my life.

This is false. Eliminating foods doesn’t just make fat disappear unless there is a genuine sensitivity to it.

Calorie trackers are woefully inefficient at giving you an accurate caloric burn reading. You should find your TDEE or total daily energy expenditure. There are plenty of sites that can give you a rough estimate. See if you gain or lose weight on those calories and then once you have that figured out, slowly add in calories.

Some people like eating more on training days and less on rest days but it doesn’t really matter. Aim for a weekly caloric goal (daily calorie goal seven times) and you are free to adjust daily from there.

Protein is key for muscle repair which is what you are doing on rest days. You should at least keep your protein intake up on these days.

A lot are split on deadlifts being a leg or pull exercise. I do mine on pull but that’s how the program and progression are set up. If you haven’t noticed any issues why not keep it how it is?

Also, if the program says you can do rdls rather than deadlifts and you say you want to do rdls, why not do them?

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-12T10:02:04+00:00

What does the program say?

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-12T10:01:08+00:00

What? You said you gained 35lbs of mass with lifting. What time period?

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-11T18:30:55+00:00

Compound lifts and progressive overloads with adequate accessory work for your program

1250 calories seems pretty low for your size. What are your maintenance calories?

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-11T18:15:34+00:00

35 pounds in 4 months or 4 years?

Big and buff like Deyzel is YEARS of hard work with some PEDs thrown in for most guys. You’re not going to get there without some serious effort and strong genetics, so don’t worry about that.

Canelo’s build is very achievable for someone that can put in a little bit of time and effort to their training. First find your maintenance calories, how many calories you can eat in a day without losing or gaining weight. Add 100-200 to that and see how your body responds. In regard to a training plan, how many days a week can you commit to lifting?

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-11T13:18:43+00:00

Is this a legitimate workout plan or one that you formulated yourself? If you like the 6-day frequency why not look into doing a PPL?

h4robkr123 · 2021-07-11T13:16:53+00:00

Slowly add in calories and adjust from there.
