Good looking workouts. This is something similar as to what my training is slowly evolving into. Still lots of volume but still get some heavy top sets done. I also think the rest pause but not pushing to failure is great for strength gains. With CT’s program you did this with lower reps for the strength phases and higher reps for the hypertrophy program. Worked amazing.

Regarding a post you made a long time about your eating style about the large calroies then low low cutting and switching back and forth after a couple weeks of each. I have read on a diff forum ( a very scientific one) that actually shows a lot of studies that back up this type of approach as more benifiical than a constant overload of calories[/quote]

Thanks man, I have a method for the heavier rep ranges as well, ill be moving to that after my cut, but deffo dont want to be messing with that while on a deficit, plus my joints need a break from the super heavy pounding.

wow really? I would deffinitely be interested in reading that, if you can find the linc email me it i can msg you the email if you need.

Do you know what the calories/macros come out to be?

605

275g p
65g carb
120g fat

2450 cal

606

Nice, that looks a lot like the cut i am planning to start in the next couple weeks here, which is why i asked. Im using a lean gains approach so my calories on workout days will be about 3000 but my cals and macros on non workout days are almost identical to yours, excluding the humapro i will be consuming.

I was planning on eating baked chicken breast which i fucking hate but i may have to steal your chicken wings idea instead, sounds a lot more enjoyable to eat.

Are you using any kind of IF approach or doing anything else special or just doing a plain ol’ diet?

607

For chicken why do you bake it? Grill it and put some delicious seasoning on it. Or marinate in some lemon juice and red wine vinegar. it will make it very tender and juicy (insert joke here) then you can leave it and grill it after that or add some seasoning like a lemon pepper or herb and garlic. I dont understand people who just make chicken breasts plain and complain. LEARN TO COOK lol.

lol, i know i could get more creative but i have such a busy schedule and work so damn much between my two jobs that i just cant stand having to prepare my food. I usually just throw a little seasoning on the chicken breasts and walk away while they bake, then throw em all in a Tupperware. however, chicken wings are my favorite and i could make a shit load of em at once and probably never get sick of eating them.

Also, grilled chicken is probably my least favorite way to eat it.

I actually think these posts are pretty important.

My biggest problem is not wanting to eat my food because I get lazy with my prep and it ends up tasting like bland crap.

“Learning to cook” (aka. making things taste awesome) is actually probably the best advice for both cutting and gaining one could be given, imo.

610

I think I’ll be getting on to this bw cutting/strength gain phase → gaining/hypertrophy phase bandwagon, or at least be going in the same direction as said bandwagon.

Frank Yangin’ it for big rebound gaiynz maynnnn

Audio - yeah chicken wings just bake them i put a 0 cal buffolo sauce on, like it better then franks, bake them about 25 mins a side and chow down theyre very good about 100cals each if you just make them the way they are, if you add breading and a batter obviosly itl be more but yeah way better then chicken breast lol…

Jake - or just find better food options that take no brain power to make taste good :stuck_out_tongue:

Fro - yes looking forward to just not dieting lol. I just dont like not being able to eat everything in site when i get home from wor and the gym, other then that its very simple

Cant beleive you dont like grilled chicken. I live off of my grill pretty much all the time. Even without seasoning i think grilling adds an amazing flavor.

I would be happy to share recipes and marinades if people wanted. Either through PM or in this thread (i dont want to clutter it if the big man doesnt want.)

Also you can but the chicken in a slow cooker and it will come out very very good. Falling apart and very delicious. You can do so many different varietys, indian, mexican, italian ect.

Rice you also have to learn to season to get the most out of it. I think the fact that i know how and love to cook is a large reason why i actually prefer “dieting” foods. ie chicken breast,lean steak, lean pork, rice, potatoes.

Sorry for the derail.

Good looking training i really like those extended sets. I have taken a liking to myo reps as well.
