Hello,
i am just finishing the powerbuilding two template, after having done the beginner template and power building 1 around two times.
i have noticed i have been way more tired, and honestly having way more aches and pains this time around. I wonder if maybe the volume in this template is too much for me?
i was wondering what you’d think about me running powerbuilding 1 again instead. I am currently maintaining weight (for the last few months), and i am primarily interested in getting stronger, but also building some muscle. My only concerns are if going back down to PB1 will alter my rate of progress and/or if it has any effect on calories burned, making it hard to reach my goals.
background:
23, male
trained for 4 years then off for a couple years before running templates listed above.
5"8, 206lbs, 38" waist.
i seem to be at maintenance at 3100cals a day, given i have tracked every day and maintained around the same weight for a few months.
second question if i may;
i have always wanted to be a part of the 31-32" waist club; however i have been around maintanence cals for awhile because i seem to be able to eat this amount with very low rpe effort, and if i understand correctly, i could hope to put on some muscle and maybe lose some fat over the next couple years, maybe making my maintenance calories go up, and i could have an easier time losing weight. Is this the wrong way to go about my goals?
thanks so much for your time, and help.
