Nutrition guidance

Yo what up,

Im looking for some longer term nutritional guidance for maximal jackitude and was hoping to get some help here. I have recently cut down from 81kg to 72.5kg and my waist circumference is now sitting at 33" (measured with your method). I did 6 of the 13 week cut while running the At-home template and managed to maintain all of my strength over the 13 week weight loss period, so thanks for the awesome template that has kept me progressing during lockdown! My number of chinups also increased, despite having trained them before. Prior to this i ran Powerbuilding II. Here were my stats before the lockdown:

Height: 5 ft 11"
Age: 17
S: 100kg x 1@8
B: 80kg x 1@8
D: 140kg x 1@8
P: 55KG x 1@8

On a side note, do you think running Hypertrophy I followed by Strength I would be an appropriate plan for the next 6 months, or would you think I am more suited to the beginner template? I am familiar with BBM’s style of programming and was training consistently with barbells for around a year before the lockdown.

Looking forward to becoming a beast!

I’d probably run the Beginner Template from phase II if you haven’t ran it yet.

From a dietary perspective, it’s really more about what you need to do. I wouldn’t advise rapid weight gain, but just a little above maintenance would be fine with me.

Sweet! I have been doing 3 sets of arm work 2x/weekly during quarantine, so do you recommend I jack up the volume in the beginner template - I assume it doesn’t have all that much. Or should I keep it vanilla?

It has some volume in there. I’d keep it as is :slight_smile:
