Ahk thanks, heard of it before.

Yes, it may work, but I doubt it worked for all of that guy's clients

[bozodos]

in that book, it's mentioned only as a another possible variation of 5/3/1 - most do The Triumverate or Boring But Big

[TM7GTR]

Fair enough. What works for me is BBing hypertrophy combined with an upper body an lower body strength day:

Monday - Leg Strength + Core (deads and squats)
Tuesday - Chest (hyper.)
Wednesday - Shoulders and arms (predominantly lateral and posterior delts)
Thursday - Leg Hypertrophy
Friday - Back
Saturday - Upper Body Strength

BUT, this is just what works for me right now
AND, I change this layout every 4-6 weeks depending on other factors, next could be more strength dominant

My notes on Bulk Nutrients N03X pre workout so far:

pine/orange flavour is disgusting

I had it at 4pm and it kept me awake most of the night

[bozodos]

yeah their flavourings of things are a bit hit and miss IMO - their Test Max was undrinkable, in any amount of water; the smell of it makes me gag even.

Does DC stand for "Don't drink the Cool aid".

And if I change my name to James will I put on 10 kg of muscle in 6 weeks?

Its stands for DogCrapp. srs.

Morning brahs.

I'm going to start my first foray in to fitness, initial aim is 5-6km jogging through hiking tracks 4 nights a week followed by some at home lifting/crunches/squats etc. I've worked an office job for the last 7 years so I figure this will be a good aim for first couple of weeks.

Is there some pre/protien/mix of supplements I should be looking at to help maximize workout?

[No Crust Racing]

If you're not already a runner 5-6ks daily might be a stretch but your body will tell you.

Get good shoes, and I mean trail shoes likle Salomons or something with Gortex lining, not Nike's they will get shredded easily.

As for Supps, basic WPI/WPC and some creatine will likely cover off all your needs as long as you're eating a relatively decent diet.

You can assess how well you recover before deciding if you need them as you'll mainly want them for recovery given your aim is fitness and not big strength gains.

Oh and as a fellow desk jockey, you're going to want to stretch a fair bit, it will help with everything. Sitters like us tend to have poor glute/hammy/hip flexor movement.

Deadlifts

That is all

[No Crust Racing]

How's your DL'ing going Birds? You had some solid momentum at one point.

[L33SH]

I'm nearly overtaking him ;p

[No Crust Racing]

Is that so?

You must be eating meat again

Average mate, I hit a bad bout of tonsilitis / yeast infection and lost 20kg off the bar from taking a couple weeks off. It's taking significantly longer to get the strength back

Back on the rise again, though. I think last session I pulled 100 x 10, 140 x 8, 180 x 1, 170 x 3.

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah that 10-20% that drops off fast but takes a while to come back is brutal.

Keep plugging

[L33SH]

Nope, I have upped my daily calorie uptake by around 300 calories though...

[No Crust Racing]

[L33SH]

Nice, prions probs more than me lol

[L33SH]

I have gained a few kg though, even though a doctor told me I looked 53kg last week I actually weigh 58kg, but I can't really notice so I assume it's muscle density
