So where to begin. I got a boxing session in today and then I took care of the other stuff.
If you guys been around for a while you know I got a few trainer friends and this is the guy that did my diet a while back, he's tweaked a few of my training programs, I was his fill in workout partner at one point and he's been waiting for me to do a real bodybuilding offseason for like 2 years lol. He actually thought that's what we were doing now but I told him next year I promise lol.
He doesn't really have issues with my diet, he's more concerned about making sure I stick to the diet. He's more concerned about calories then macro breakdown but basically he wants me to keep fat low to moderate, eat enough carbs to fuel workouts and recovery and fill in the rest with protein up to a certain point. That's going to depend on what maintenance calories are because there's no reason to eat 300+ gm protein.
He said the way I'm training is fine for the most part but I need to pump the breaks on volume. 12-15 sets tops per body part over the weekends. Job schedule makes training during the week really hard. We're gonna shoot for boxing on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday for the time being. Do my volume work over the weekend still and throw in 1 or 2 strength/power type exercises "AFTER" each boxing workout. No more lifting weights before the boxing workout. Especially because I'm off cycle. He actually wants me to stay off gear outside of testosterone. Stick with moderate test and invest in some gh for 2-3iu to aid in recovery. If that's not a option then supplements will be specific to recover and surprise surprise, he said I need to sleep a lot more lol.
He wants me to spend this month getting my training schedule locked up and not worry too much about food as long as I'm in a slight deficit and then we're starting a 10-12 week diet aiming for -2lbs per week.
He straight up cut me a solid deal that's exactly 1/3 of what he charges for a contest prep. He will send me the meal plan in about 2 weeks after we figure out maintenance. He's gonna tweak my training program week to week, we're not doing a cycle plan, he just said stay off everything but test and maybe a little GH. I'm probably gonna try to leverage peptides I got instead for recovery and save the GH for when it's time to get big.
Check in on every Sunday. Progress pictures are not necessary weekly as this ain't a physique-based event, but he said I should send them anyway here and there just to keep a eye on changes or to help make changes.
Idk, we talked about more but I'm drawing a blank.
Oh, because he knows I like to binge eat and I train mostly at night, I should keep calories low during the day, get some good pre/intra workout nutrition and then feast after training. But that's part of a carb cycling approach.
Basically I'm paying the guy to hold me accountable and help make adjustments.
