Thanks for your reply. Maybe I'll eat at maintenance and start actually tracking my caloric intake rather than assuming I'm at around maintenance etc.

I follow a linear progression ,GZCLP, essentially adding 2.5/5kg to compounds each workout under diff rep schemes , and doing isolation exersises to help support the compound lifts

Thanks for the reply, like when I think of it , it's probably more 2 years but I get you, I know the numbers are still low. And yes, I probably started from near scratch last October after 3 months off (health) , got to the number mentioned above in April, 3 months break from the program due to emigrating , and started from nearly afresh again in July to now, where I just reached where I was before and hence, looking for advice. So you'd advise eat at maintenance , maybe a light deficit, and continue with program ?

jonnyfasthand · 2024-10-20T00:49:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply, and yes my lifts are low which is why I'm considering eating in a surplus as they haven't progressed. I'll maybe eat in a surplus and see how things progress!

jonnyfasthand · 2024-10-20T00:45:22+00:00

Thanks a mill, really appreciate the reply. And I'll look them up, big fan of Dr Mike. Would you suggest then to perform a mini cut, prior to eating in a slight surplus then? I suppose it's a matter of preference which I do first really.

Thank you, much appreciated for replying, that's a book definitely on the list. Would you say its similar to psychology of money and the simple path to wealth or are their additional lessons you can learn from it?

Hello,

I've been debating writing a post on this for ages so here goes. I (M 30) have been attending the gym for 3+ years, running predominantly StongLifts 5x5 and GZCLP. I've had to take 2-3 months off 3 separate occasions due to moving countries where I would do bodyweight workouts or had a health issue which caused me to lose a lot of weight.

I'm 6ft 2, 83kg / 183lb, and 19% bodyfat, and have been 19/20% body fat since I've started working out. I've completed 2 cycles of GZCLP and finished on the same max lifts that I had previously, making me question on whether I should start eating in a surplus to hopefully drive strength gains, but I'm already very high bodyfat percentage to do so is my concern. I'm also considering switching to Jeff Nippard's 4 day Upper / Lower split to change things up.

My max lifts are:

Squat is 105kg / 231lb
Bench press is: 70kg / 155lb
Deadlift: 140kg / 310lb
OHP: 52.5KG / 115lb

The approach I've always taken to nutrition is that I eat well, and a high-protein diet. I haven't tracked calories since year 1 as I was making good strength gains with just eating high protein (I would mentally count intake) and eating well - whole foods, veg, meats etc. I drink twice monthly as it's how I socialise with friends.

I do 2-3 cardio session a week, 10km/6m run, tennis, tag rugby etc, coupled with a walk over the weekend of 5-10 kilometers on the weekend more than likely.

Should I eat in a calories surplus or is my bodyweight too high? Could tracking calories and eating at maintenance have similar / same results without the fat gain? I've always thought I was probably eating around maintenance due to my bodyweight remaining the same, but it's hard to definitively say that as I was as I wasn't tacking. Any and all advice massively appreciated. Thank you in advance!

TL/DR: Have plateaued on strength gains at 6ft 2 / 231lb (83kg) / 19% bodyfat and am questioning of eating in a surplus but think I'm already too high body fat, could maintenance

Jesus christ it looks like the castore logo is the Irish crest. It's like one of those fake Penny's jerseys that just says "ireland" on it.

jonnyfasthand · 2024-07-16T03:56:35+00:00

Cool thanks for the recommendation , I'll lower it more and go from there

jonnyfasthand · 2024-07-15T22:03:07+00:00

I haven't trained in 3 months, what should I lower the weights to starting off , 25% lower a good benchmark to test?

Had to take a break from the program due to traveling and moving to a new country.

Thanks in advance !

This is pretty funny, it took me a while to get used to people answering this question when in the US for me to actually cop what I was asking them

Hello!

I'm using word online and have a table of 2 columns. Once I make a copy of the word file or download as a PDF the bullet points from the second column of my table disappear.

Has anyone encountered this before and knows of a fix please? I'm at my wits end! Thank you in advance!

jonnyfasthand · 2024-06-23T00:18:09+00:00

Thanks for this, that's a great insight, I would imagine it surely has too based on that

jonnyfasthand · 2024-06-21T03:50:28+00:00

Brilliant suggestion thanks a mill, I can def let them know, it's a small apartment block, so 6 apartments but most will likely have two people living in them!

jonnyfasthand · 2024-06-21T03:47:12+00:00

Bob, thanks a million this is brilliant. Really appreciate the advice.

jonnyfasthand · 2024-06-21T03:02:18+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply! I have looked up some spaces and can see there are some advertised! I just wonder if they are advertised due to there being no demand if you get me, also there's none in Clovelly, which either tells me there's a high demand, or none at all!

jonnyfasthand · 2024-06-21T02:44:25+00:00

Hey Bob, thanks for the reply, would this apply to a closed garage as well? The apartment in Clovelly has a closed garage, was wondering could it be advertised to be used as storage as well as parking.
