I don’t think you should refeed during a minicut so just get this phase done ASAP then get back to gaining.

Have you tried smith machine squats (heel elevated)?

Jordan how do you not rip your hair out at the riduclousness on social media? That form police bloke is a joke. And not to be rude but most of the RIR crowd. They don’t even understand their own training methodology (outside of Mike and a select few), weigh 60kg (scienctifically of course) and give unwanted advice to everyone. To be honest social media as a whole bums me out.But then again looking at Mike’s instagram I think what you’re doing/preaching has been rubbing off because I’ve seen him at least pushing the insensity aspect more onto his follwers and capping the added sets. Or maybe I’m crazy lol

Who’s Mike?

You mentioned you are stressed? Maybe look into stress management supplements and nootropics to help you focus during work?

[GN]

Definitely intra carbs and EAAs, then health/support supps like joint formulas or heart/kidney/liver stuff.

[GN]

Seeing your posts, why are you so worried about little things? Just enjoy the meal and next day back on track.

[GN]

In your deload sessions, do you remove intensifiers e.g. only fail once in what would be a rest pause?

[GN]

Chromium is fine pre workout, but try to situate berberine away from the workout. And post workout meal, you already have heightened insulin sensitivity so no need for GDAs. But we are talking marginal gains here..

Yes, check the athlete’s logs and for most of them, volume is about the same as this. However, you could do with more calf work and side lateral too in my opinion, but check your recovery first..

[GN]

Lots of benefits from spices. Turmeric, ginger, cinnamon etc.. Shouldn’t worry about the calories as I presume they are a consistent factor in your diet?

[GN]

At how many weeks out you predicting the glutes will begin to show striations? ?

[GN]

It’s possible, but not optimal. Have you not tried different carb sources to see which ones you can tolerate and eliminate those that you can’t? Also I feel like 160g of fat would bloat you even more.. Try to find the root cause and fix your stomach issues? Digestive enzymes, gut health could be looked into as well?

[GN]

Any update pictures coming soon? ?

[GN]

Before you started this prep, in the off season, how often did you have to raise calories and by how much? Did you raise it based on performance stalling or bodyweight or something else? Thanks!

After you’re done with the antibiotics, look to rebuild your gut flora, good bacteria.
