@sinnersavedbyfaith I’m in your case is seem “more” reasonable. But I’m 5,8 (172cm) and I weigh 170lbs. Normally only consume around 120gs of protein, subtracting fat and skeletal weight.

@bronsontaur I’ve never understood consuming protein for the fat that is on your body. So I’ve always aimed for protein intake closer to my lean muscle mass.

@annamarinewife As your weight drops, your maintenance calories change therefore your deficit % changes.

@richardcrowson1 Having triceps alone is very odd, but it’s pretty common to have it paired with maybe chest or back.

@richardcrowson1 Having a dedicated arm day, training biceps and triceps of that day!

@rijesusfreak I've been running a 4 day bro split for 14+ years, never had any issues.

@lizlugo51 Eat in a caloric surplus, and have a bicep and tricep day. Apply progressive overload concepts.

@mamared1 Do cardio and eat in a fairly extreme deficit

@cybernetic You’re 25/26 year old male who’s been lifting for 8 years and your bench is 22kg ?

@jgeral0172 You don’t need to be super obsessive or neurotic about any aspects of bodybuilding , I could probably even say life in general.

@kpmasonry In my opinion the scans are cool to do at the start/end of a bulk/cut because who doesn’t love numbers and data! But I think theyare inaccurate and would never use the information to make adjustments to a program. I would just do things how you’ve been doing them for the best baseline.

@kpmasonry Yeah a DEXA, article doesn’t state that they used it. but that’s my theory.

@distantthoughts Enough to change the weight, take a drink and change the song

@kpmasonry In my opinion no not possible. I would assume they are using “muscle gain” instead of lean mass. You could start taking creatine, drinking a lot of water with never have gone to the gym and a scan will show an increase in lean mass.

@basabeo I personally would not use the scans as a means to monitor process. Your level of hydration is enough to alter the results.

@tp243 I agree with the premise of those muscles recovery faster but I think it’s hard to prove also with the loads being very different! If you compare someone squatting 3 plates to doing the 20lb dumbells for later raises the workload is far different. If the work was the same I would suspect...

@petr0s You need to talk more with your coach and see the game plan. Sometimes it isn't a linear process like you stated. I've prepped for shows with high days/low days. I like to reduce the cals heavily, to be "show ready" 3-4 weeks out, then start increasing cals into the show. You are...

@maygrace You would have to look at the program as a whole to judge what is before and after that day. If I want to isolate or focus my quad I would say you can’t get more of an isolation than an extension.

@dawn16 The only sane comment on this post.

@jonathanef If you are able to apply concepts of progressive overload and recover for the next workout then I would say it isn’t too much.
