You can stimulate the appetite by walking before and after meals and doing some form of cardio/walking fasted, first thing.

Choose foods that are low in volume and digest well, such as Cream of Rice, fruits, honey, jams, nut butters, whey isolate, shakes..

Use Veggie-Might greens powder to get in the nutrients and fibre from vegetables, without having to eat a large amount.

Include an intra workout of EAAs and carbs to get extra calories in during training.

Utilise supplements such as Digest Pharma Pro to help with the digestion of foods and a GDA such as IN-SURE to increase insulin sensitivity and allow for the efficient use of the carbs you’re ingesting.

Thank you for such an in depth response Clare, I’ll immediately try and implement these tips and keep you guys updated with how it goes!

I think Claire is covered most

For me, it all comes down to routine, so there’s no set amount of meals that you need to have

But enough that you can keep food volume increasing when needed, which is usually why most bodybuilders go for 5 to 6 meals per day

But also one that can fit your schedule well, so again 5 to 6 would be best

If you can keep routine really good your appetite or boom, using great quality and not over consuming on off panel meals will always be the best

Increasing number of meals instead of purely quantity is a great call, thanks Meg!

Clare spot on. I find a walk between meals goes along way

Thanks a million Ryan, trust all the endorsements 🙂

Thanks so much for all the guidance guys and sorry I took me so long to get back to you. As predicted I ran myself I got the ground and was sleeping like 14 hours a day for a week lmao. Proud I wanted it but will stick to your wiser words more haha.

Thankfully just dealing with residual symptoms now and back to progressing 🙂

New to this topic so apologies for my ignorance everyone, however am I to believe that the 8-12 rep range is recommended only in order to more easily facilitate P.O/reduce injury risk? if the last reps prior to failure are those that create adaptation, wouldn’t it matter little how many reps precede those final stimulating reps provided form remains consistent and injury avoided? I assume like most things this is dependent largely on individual/level of development, however doesn’t the underlying cause of adaptation (being failure) remain consistent? Thank you all

never knew that man. Human potential truly is limitless isn’t it? Keep it real goat 🫡

Thanks Jordan! can’t wait to implement your principles and maybe (certainly) step on stage one day, Cheers!

So firstly if I said volume is relative to frequency , would you understand what I mean there ? Starting there is a good place for us to help 🙂

Also well done on your progress , really great to hear you overcome some hard obstacles

Hey Jordan! Never expected a reply fr

The big man himself, incredible content, best voice in bodybuilding rn (at least in my humble opinion). As for the volume to frequency relationship, a beginner like me who doesn’t require much stimulus to induce growth, I believe the idea is that lower volume (to induce stimulus while minimizing recovery demand) is paired with higher frequency to maximize growth opportunities. This is what makes fb so incredible for beginners (which I should honestly try, I just shudder at the thought of not getting to train as often lol). Let me know if I’ve missed anything 🙂[/quote]
Oh I also copied an advanced cycle from the doggpound back on intense muscle (joking ofc hahaha)
