Finding delicious meals you can prepare yourself and eat over and over and over again is the easiest way to win the war against adiposity The sooner you find your go-to choices…the sooner you reach the promised land

Repeating a few meals is probably the best way to dial in your diet.

LEG EXTENSIONS BEFORE SQUATS If you look at most of the programs I post here for free, you will see I almost always place Leg Extensions ahead of Squats Here’s why: Generally speaking, Leg Extensions are hardest in the SHORT position (that is, they are hardest at the TOP of the rep when the Quads are fully contracted) Short position work tends to be LESS fatiguing than lengthened position work (Squat variations are hardest in the LENGTHENED position — that is, they are hardest at the bottom of the rep when the Quads are stretched) So, by programming Leg Extensions first, the drop off in Squat performance is less than the drop off you’d experience in Leg Extension performance if a Squat variation were to be programmed prior (at least in theory) FWIW, there is an argument for doing Leg Extensions after hitting your lengthened biased work (which is why I sometimes program it) but that’s a story for a different day A subtle but GOATED fatigue management play

Dean, why would you do pendulum squats third in your leg day? Surely the compound movement would be first or second (if you’re going hamstrings first)?

The day you drop Flat Barbell Bench Press for Flat Smith Bench Press is the day you’ve reached peak enlightenment It’s simply the better exercise for muscle growth….full stop
The smith machine quietly upgrades almost every barbell hypertrophy exercise. - Fixed bar path, so no balancing tax - Less stabilising means more drive into the target muscle - You actually load what you came to train - Stabilisers still fire, they're just no longer the bottleneck - Barely any warm-up, the groove is built in - Form holds at failure, so fewer injuries and more real reps Want a bigger bench? Choose the bench. Strength is specific. Want a bigger chest? Choose the smith. Hypertrophy rewards stability and a clean path to failure.

If you are transitioning from Cut to Bulk soon…you NEED to read this: Take a look at the first attached photo These are the estimated maintenance calories for a client of mine after he completed his Cut (progress pic shown in Photo 2) Here’s how I got this number: 1) First, I got his average bodyweight for the duration of the diet (175.13 lbs) 2) Second, I got his average calorie intake for the duration of the diet (1,696) 3) Third, I got his average weekly rate of loss for the duration of the diet (-.86%) 4) Fourth, I multiplied his average weekly rate of loss by his average bodyweight (.86% x 175.13 lbs = 1.506) 5) Fifth, I multiplied 1.506 x 3,500 (1 pound gained or lost = 3,500 calories…not a perfect rule but a good heuristic) = 5,271 5,271 was the estimated size of his deficit each week which, when divided by 7, means he was in a deficit of 753 calories per day 6) Sixth, I added that 753 calories per day to his weekly average calorie intake (1,696) to get his estimated maintenance calories of 2,449 NOW…pay attention: His highest average weight was 184.28 His lowest average weight was 162.90 Given that he lost 20 lbs, he VERY LIKELY experienced some metabolic down-regulation As a result, his estimated maintenance calories are probably closer to 2200-2300 calories ASSUMING HIS ACTIVITY REMAINS FIXED His activity got VERY HIGH toward the tail end of his cut (a week at 22,323 steps per day, a week at 21,264 steps per day, and a week at 25,004 steps per day) So, I gave him the recommendation you see in photo # 3 This is how you properly transition out of a cut and into a bulk Raising calories incrementally is just prolonging your dieting phase Think about it… If you’re in a 600 calories deficit and you bump calories by 200 per day…you’re still in a deficit, it’s just smaller Bump by another 100 the next week…still a deficit Bump by another 100 the next week…still a deficit Bump by 100 the next week…STILL A DEFICIT I’m not saying there aren’t reasons to do this but I would not suggest doing so if your intent is to get out of a deficit and into a surplus In that instance, just do what I did here: - Calculate estimated maintenance calories - Give cushion in the event that you suspect metabolic adaptation occurred - Deploy new numbers - Continue to compile/watch data - Allow for weird body water fluctuations to work themselves out over the first 1, 2, 3, maybe 4 weeks post calorie bump - Adjust after that if rate of gain does not settle into .5ish pounds per week range

I eat burgers twice a week, tacos, pizza and nachos regularly and just keep getting leaner. Also when does the clean bulk start and how do I adjust my macros?

2 sets per exercise per session is the answer MOST of the time 3 sets per exercise per session is the answer SOME of the time 1 set per exercise per session has a time & place 4 sets of a single exercise in a single session??? BEATING A DEAD HORSE
Yes a bunch of wasted sets before you feel truly challenged… Correct this by doing a few build up sets for low reps to get yourself ready for your first working set. First working set is 5-8 reps max effort. (1 rep in the tank). Then full rest (3-5 minutes). And another set for 6-10 reps (I drop the weight here 10%). And again max effort (1 rep in the tank). You can do a third set but I find it doesn’t make a big difference. You get an incredible stimulus out of these two hard hitting sets and trigger growth. You will be amazed at how easy it is to hit personal records with this straining style

2 reasons you SHOULD be using the Lat Pull-Down station for your Bicep Curls: 1) The Upper Arm Support GREATLY enhances the effectiveness of the exercise 2) It pisses off all of the basement dwelling losers that frequent people’s replies on X What’s better than THAT???
“Bro you’re taking up the lat pulldown station to do bicep curls” And fucking what mate? My set takes 60 seconds max. Similar as if I was actually doing a lat pulldown. The gym equipment is there to be used. I pay a membership like everyone else. Stop waffling bollocks.
