Long Off-Season to Classic D Class Weight Cap

purely nutrition wise i think 0.5g per kg bodyweight is medium.

where you're at is with 0.25-0.35 per kg bw is probably on the lower end

and i think 1g per kg bw is really pushing it high, somewhere 0.6-0.8g per kg bw is high

i push very many farts out above 0.5g per kg so i never go above there i think you and me have same "digestion" problems haha. im 100kg so 50g fats is my max and im even lower in bw because im injured rn
Yeah haha that makes sense, I think from American perspective this is still moderate though because we are fat fucks— even recently hearsay this 80-100 as moderate from. American Bb coaches so I based it off of this.

Before was on the moderate-high for rest days to get very low carbs in, but yeah the gas and so on was not cool for my wife and she made it known. Training days have always been 20g added and never have any digestive issues, farts, and so on.


I bet if you slightly lowered it then you would probably get rid of some of that problem, or if you did maybe it will take a bit of time to improve. Stool quality and regularity also is much better too. Idk how some people push the fat up so crazy lol.

Damn bro you alright? What happened?

yeah for the fart talks i think its individual but for me above 50g is no go zone.

for the injury part, it just so happened. i was training arm day, last set of biceps i go to pick up the weight, i pick it up from the rack about to do my dumb bell curls and mid way picking it up my arm just gave up and i felt a sharp pain in my elbow although it was not that big of a pain.

it was 16kg i picked up and i train biceps really light always works for me for best growth. dont really know how to injury happened but im assuming it delayed onset injury from prior tricep work that day.

i always control my weight, no ego lift way longer than 3-4s negative and squeeze 2-4s at the top aswell no swinging uncontrolled movements.

estrogen & bloods is good so no indication of any joint pain or issues or anything at all. i was just really unlucky
 
Monday: legs1

Damn bro that’s crazy. Hope whatever you do to get it to recover goes well. Elbow injuries are a real pain since they effect so many movements

i see you do alot logging like this

is 2x10

and 1x15 after dropset or pump sets?

and i guess when u do it before its warm up sets and failure afterwards?

i've found the middle ground of 8-12 reps on everything besides shrugs but just interested if i'll one day switch things up and copy some of your training :)

The 2x10 is work sets 10 sets prior to total failure, so I tried another rep but couldn’t complete. Once I get to 10 I will increase weight and lower reps to 6 or 8 to total failure.

1x15 is a back off. So also to failure but higher rep. Then often this is not a straight set but I will comment if it has an intensifier, like rest pause, Myo reps, or drop set, so 2-4 times to failure.

I don’t count warm up sets but I generally do 25% x8 50%x6 75%4.. if Im going really heavy then 90%1, but this is not so far into off season where I am touching what I consider heavy.

I also like 8-12 but I feel like I really thrive on 6-8 especially when it’s simple compound movements. & for small muscle groups I prefer 12-20. I like higher 8-12 and especially higher for back because I want to approach back with a bit more nuance, and I don’t want to engage my obliques and grow my waist more than necessary. But of course i will just do what my coach programs regardless of “like”

Try if you like, but it’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea haha. To be honest some of the movements and sets/reps structure are not even what I would prefer to do, but it’s better to do what gets results than do what you like in my opinion. So if I respond well to it, maybe it doesnt have to be unicorns and rainbows, fun and shit. We’re not blasting gear for shits and giggles
 
Wednesday: push
Weight: 106.6kg/ 235lbs

feeling good. Matching PR lifts on push day now for volume and joints feeling great. Next I will start going for max load again.

friday: legs 2 (hamstrings)
Weight: 105.9kg/234lbs

Pretty happy about weekend training. recently i have also been coaching my wife, just doing her training programs and shes been consistent so shes making good progress and comes with me to gym on Saturday morning.


Today almost everything increased by weight + reps. I kind of would like to see what would happen with a gram of test or more. Feel like the progress on 750 is pretty cool though

Getting stronger even faster now… some pretty solid PRs today. Shoulders and back responding like crazy.

Here is my blood pressure and heart rate on 1.15g of gear.
Just take care of yourself in the off season. We are starting PEDS off higher than i have before but health is still exactly the same. Honestly because there is no tren and fat burners, this is better than cut, and already with an increase of between 10-15lbs in a month depending on the day.

This whole no cardio because you can’t grow as well is real bullshit you know. Keep your heart healthy

Moving smooth, food and gear staying same for a bit. Just getting as much out of this amount as possible since Im getting a lot of progress out of it in the gym right now with no sign of slowing down. PR everywhere now— so I’m stronger than I was at 245-250lbs and with much better technique. Even looking at my incline videos, compared to last time Im isolating the chest better keeping the body much more still. Same can be said about basically all my movements. Coach is also very happy with progress so just keep grinding. No news is good news when it comes to sticking to the script and getting what we need from the response in the off season.

Im going to be closing this log soon and moving to notebooks. Maybe I’ll post updates here and there but I will be making some changes, and going to have to keep specifics about training protocol and diet physically written.
 
4 years In the log books with over 100lbs gained
130 to 236lbs and basically none to the waist.
Maybe at/by the end of the decade i will have made something interesting
I have a lot of work to do because the visual effect is not great due to my height and muscle/bone structure.

Now at fasted 109kg—240lbs. Walking around at about 245. Im not far from my previous heaviest weight… and this is just finishing up my reverse, no high days, no ment, no Lantus. Actually if I was running my full off season cycle Im sure I’d gain a couple pounds from the ment, so I will have a whole lot of space to grow. Im still super hungry. Borderline feel like starving, so by the time I have to force feed I will probably be 260+. Will see Sunday for this check in if glutes still have any striations or if im fully a fatty
