I used to train in Tierpro in Waterloo when I lived there, IFBB Pro Karl Tierney owns it! Proper little hard core gym.

Haha I didn’t notice the Rump @corinne! My bad

Which route did you take up Snowdon, Luke? Its a good climb, eh! I enjoyed it when i done it. We went up the Qaurry road and down the Pyg track.

Corinne, are you a vegetarian/pescatarian now? I just noticed there was no meat in your latest meal plans you wrote.

My places would be:
Best –
I couldnt decide on one as im too indecisive so…
UK – Newquay, Cornwall… I went this year for the first time and completely loved the atmosphere, so chilled. Stunning scenery too.
Europe – Hamburg, brilliant place for a city break.
Worldwide – Orlando,Florida… Rollercoasters and monster amounts of food! Whats not to love?Worst
I don’t like to be negative about anywhere but i would say my worst is either:
Glasgow – their distaste of english especially.
Newcastle – Geordie Shore, enough said.Dream place
My dream place would be California right now. A few days on the coast, a trip up to Yosemite, LA, SF, plenty of variety! -
I often used to run the roads in a Fartlek fashion, using lamposts as my markers:
Walk,jog,Sprint… repeat (for around a 3.5 mile circuit).
Something I picked up with rugby training! Less monotonous than a straight walk sometimes. -
I would also be quite intersted to see peoples thoughts on this split

Looking awesome, Emil.
I look forward to following this thread!

Thanks Stephen,
So… to create the deficit shall I deduct the 500 kcals from the BMR?
So 2367 – 500 = 1867 kcals per day?
How high would you advise protein? I usually aim for 1g per lb of LBW, so arounf 170g give or take.
I enjoy cardio, can hit it quite hard so a half hour session burns me around 450kcals too, my plan once the diet baseline is set is to increase the cardio gradually as the weight loss slows.
Thanks for your input.

this is a topic I am interested in also

Machine head and Lamb of God always do it for me

I’m the same, I can really feel the stretch and contraction when using the hammer strenght style machines, especially for chest.
I think they do have a place in a workout, isolation after a compound lift such as flat bench or dips?
-
I would still be looking to increase the food intake at this moment in time, it only amounts to around 2600kcal which isn’t a lot. Push the food up again and see how you get on.
Then JP has put a beginners cycle video on the main site.
If you are still young I would try cranking the food up again, provided bodyfat isnt too high, progress your lifts and see how you get on.

It’s the frequency that increases the overall volume. Your doing the same body part in 5 days or so rather than 7, and the intensity is higher. Trust me you’ll need them rest days.
I think DC has been my favourite style to train. -
Do you know your basic metabolic rate (BMR)? Theres a few calculators for this online.
Once you know the BMR then add a calorie surplus off between 250-500kcals a day to the BMR and eat that. Don’t go all out eating anything in sight if you are prone to gaining fat.
You are never gonna stop fat gain in a bulk but you can minimise it by doing a slow controlled bulk. Aim to grow over 6 months, maybe a year rather than trying to pack the size on in a month, thats the mindset I have had to adopt, as I too am prone to fat gain.
