Congrats on the PR!...

Aura,

You could do some of the isolation exercises on GPP days instead, though I'd prefer them to be done on the lifting days on short rest...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

You can adjust the step-up height up or down a smidge to find a happy medium where you can feel some more muscular fatigue and reduce sensitivity. It...

GW,

Thanks for the post and I hope training is going well. I do think you'll be able to get through the next block without modifications...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I don't think we have that functionality yet, but I do know it was on my list of requests. It should pop up in one of the next updates.

CF,

I think it is very unlikely you are consuming the reported 2200 cals/day on average. I think you're eating a lot more than that and would...

There isn't a set definition for what adherence in this particular context means. While I don't encourage people to move around lifts, workout days, or...

There are two studies suggesting anabolic use may increase injury risk. In one case report, all 4 individuals who had ruptured their triceps brachii muscle...

I'd maintain weight for ~4 weeks, then add ~ 500 Calories to your intake and see what happens....

CF,

Thanks for the post. I can understand how this would be frustrating. I think that a few things are fairly clear:

I do not think there will be any difference in taking in 150g or 183g of protein per day. I typically like a bit higher than 1.6g/kg/day during cutting...

Because the effect takes more time than that to reach a steady state and be maximized.




We have an article series on...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

It's more of advice to consume a meal rather than specific foodstuffs or macros prior to activity. In the context of resistance training, individuals...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I think if you've ran it as outlined (3x/wk RT for the duration), your current environment is ripe for gainzZz™ (sleep, nutrition, attitude, etc.),...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I would do them on separate days from the RT, if possible. Alternatively, you could do a single session after RT. I wouldn't do 2 LISS and 1 HIIT session...

Monster,

I think you'd likely generate less hypertrophy and strength from it due to not really developing a tolerance to anything, thereby...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

Hip extensions are sometimes also called "back extensions", but I call them hip extensions since I'm not really looking for a lot of lumbar,...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I think the evidence supports that both creatine and beta alanine both improve performance. The mechanisms by which they do this appear to be mainly by...

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I don't think this in likely to help RPE calibration given that 1 is a different movement and 1 is for a much different rep scheme than you're programmed....

Brian,

May I ask how long you've been training and what your current best lifts are? I'm trying to get a better sense of whether this template...
