I’ve definitely made more progress on the 600 than last year using test/primo/deca. Obviously other stuff comes into play but yea, don’t see adding anything else in the foreseeable future
Just catch whatever stomach bug is going around, youll be gagging down your normal meals like your a mass monsters at the end of an off season
That's one way to do it!
An hour pre workout before a monster leg day.
Yes sir!!!An hour pre workout before a monster leg day.
Haven’t changed in almost 2 months.
Recipe for success! You guys are dialed in. Almost identical to mine except I go lower carb on my off day.
It must be the response to higher test and GH. Both are at the highest I have ran.
making me consider lowering my protein intake if ur growing and staying lean on just 180
It's because the carbs are super high and are inherently protein sparing. Not the same on much lower carb intakes. Just sayin.making me consider lowering my protein intake if ur growing and staying lean on just 180
Thanks brother, a continued work in progress but i'm here for it
I've read a lot of Alan Aragon and I tend to agree a lot of people in our community likely overeat protein. 0.8 -1 gram per pound is most likely enough.making me consider lowering my protein intake if ur growing and staying lean on just 180
How low are the carbs on your off days?
NTD: 250
That’s really interesting. Does he give you a reason why?
Ive never talked directly to him about it. But in some of the lives that he does, he always says that he works with super heavyweights. If they aren't supers now, he puts the size on them to become supers. If you try and feed a super heavyweight 200g of protein, or a "low protein diet" (in the bodybuilding world), they freak out and think they are catabolic 24/7. I think it's just not worth his time trying to baby every client, and let them know everything is going to be okay.
It would be a nightmare trying to rewire every large bodybuilders mind, and change the entire industry with the protein thing.
really got me interesting in dropping my intake. gunna give this a go til my prepIve never talked directly to him about it.

I don't know if any of you follow him closely, but he went on a terror with this throughout 2024. Almost every interview he did on youtube, he dives into the math of how ridiculous 300g-500g of protein is. If our body even used 12.5g of protein a day for new muscle tissue, that would be 10lbs of actual tissue added each year. 25g/day would be 20lbs of tissue. Obviously our body uses protein to fix and rebuild damaged cells around our body, but its not anywhere close to an additional 300g/day. Probably more like 25-50g/day. Once you do the math, its actually pretty crazy how much protein everyone eats. Seems like a waste of digestive energy on the body when you could just eat the carbs directly that the unused portion of protein will eventually be converted to.
Yea I’ve heard hiM go over the math whenever he’s on anabolic bodybuilding. That’s why I was surprised when you said how much protein you eat but your explanation of him dealing with super heavyweights make perfect sense. At some point you just throw your hands up and say fuck itIve never talked directly to him about it. But in some of the lives that he does, he always says that he works with super heavyweights.

Justin always has his head in studies and thus usually ahead of the curve. I remember years ago he started going by what the literature was showing regarding protein intake. It's probably the most studied topic over the last 5 years and it's pretty conclusive on what is required and when it becomes excessive turning into glucose. Justin was also one of the first with his high day only insulin use, which was fucking brilliant.Yea I’ve heard hiM go over the math whenever he’s on anabolic bodybuilding.

I couldn't agree more and clearly the physiques haven't deteriorated from the decrease in protein consumption. Just eating expensive rice as Justin puts it
