275 today after yesterday rest day so a couple lbs down.
But feel good !
Appetite back to being none existent but that’s normal for me when trying to take my body weight up into new territory
Upping fats and lowering carbs right now helps a little
Fats going up to 150-200 on some some days depending on what my last meal is
Last nights Sunday cheat meal was 2 x 12 inch pizzas and a sticky toffee pudding cake to myself
So back day today and if felt awesome. Lot of endurance and strength.
Back and abs
Wide grip pull downs 3 x 8-12
Seated cable row 3 x 8-12
Single arm low row 3 x 8-10
Neutral pull downs 3 x 8-10
Seated chest supported row 3 x 6-10
Cable ab crunches 4 x 10-20 -
Every thought of a chest / delt focused bro split ? (Split body part)
Has worked wonderfully for me for over 2 decades: ) -
Just cos you ran a deload 4 weeks ago doesn’t mean you definitely don’t needs other one. But also, it can be an issue of not enough calories and / or not enough sleep. Youre 21 , if I was you I’d eat more and fuel the hard training, get some naps on the day and see if this helps, if not, take a deload

274 today same as yesterday
Yesterday’s leg session wiped me out. Got all my food in, and replaced my last meal with an off plan. Cheese burger , chicken burger and 2 fries.
Went down easy and clearly neededScared back the volume on delts and traps today to accommodate the extra recovery needed
But felt strong, full and pumped. Awesome session
Anabolics going up next week. Will go to 800 test 300 eq for a few weeks then when things slow I’ll go to
1000 test 500 eq and see how I get on. I guess I’ll be at that dose for a good whileDelts and traps

Reverse pec dec 4 x 8-12
Cable close grip shrugs 4 x 6-10 -

MemberOctober 4, 2024 at 8:57 am in reply to: Balancing calories on rest and training daysGenerally rest day has much lower energy demand then training day BUT still has a high demand recovery wise to grow, and also depends if you’re active or not.
Most lifters will lower calories on rest days, by way of carbs. But if you need the carbs to stay higher due to your workload / how beat up you are from training then that’s ok too -
Why is this even a question? And why is it relevant what Dallas’s readings were? If this is what “excites you” I’m sorry but you need to rethink why you’re bodybuilding

If you’re confused, just count everything. BUT , aim for your main protein intake to come from complete sources like chicken beef eggs whey etc.

273 today. Creeping up
Yesterdays food finished at around 400p
989c 120f so a great amountToday’s been a rest day. So not not much report. Trying to take 2 rest days weekly now. More if / when I need it
Split right now is what’s always worked for me
Back & abs
Chest & calves
Rest
Legs & abs
Delts traps & lats top up
Arms, calves & chest top up
Rest -
If it wasn’t upper lower I’d say a 3rd day is sometimes ok if it’s a smaller muscle group. But the demand U/L puts on recovery is very high so I agree with everyone else here
