I will do my fasted cardio from 6:15-6:45 and then I’ll eat at around 8.30 when I get to work and I’m settled at my desk. And I’ll always break my fast with my oats (mixed with peanut butter) and a banana.
Why you people disrespect food like that?
Do you do a weight session as well?
Oh mate, I love food just as much as anyone. I do it for longevity purposes.

It’s just called pre-workout - it’s a powder you mix with water that gives you a buzz so you can work harder and faster and it just peps you up in the morning.
It’s essentially just concentrated caffeine powder, some brands have creatine in it as well.
But yeah from 9pm-1:30pm is a really long time to go without food for me.
I usually make it but often it’s a struggle.

Yes, my initial plan was similar to yours. Cardio in morning and weights in evening but i am unable to manage that. So will be spending more time in one session and get both done.
Will go by your schedule as well. Just need to do some research and add exercises to it.
On a different note, my right arm is acting up since 2-3 weeks. For certain movements, it gives me a slight pinching feeling.
Ok fair, that’s reasonable.
If you’re not able to manage that I’d probably do morning cardio followed by more of a full body kind of split. I could give you a few suggestions. You only really need to get in about 4 weight sessions a week anyway.
Where abouts is the pinching feeling?
Send over sensei
I think it’s where my Deltoid connects with my humerus. Speculating here.
I feel the pinch when bring my arm down from raised position circling outward
I have a similar pain sometimes. I usually get it when I try to do heavy shoulder pressing without a spot on the lift so I think sometimes I end up straining a little bit. The pain should subside relatively quickly. If it’s lingering then I’d definitely get it checked out.
Day 1: I’d combine chest and shoulders together. Maybe 2-3 chest exercises and 2 shoulder exercises should do the job.
Day 2: Back. I’d keep back as an isolated workout because it’s such a big and important muscle group.
Day 3: Legs. Same as above. Big and important and shouldn’t be mixed with anything else on a 4 day split
Day 4: I’d use day 4 to train arms, a more intense ab workout and then to pick your weakest body part and throw in one or two exercises at the end for that. In my case, I’m not a fan of my hamstrings so I’d chuck an extra hamstring exercise. I also don’t like the lower portion of my chest so I’ll do some extra decline work.

Excellent. I will compile a list of exercises which perhaps you can review.

Everybody should do what works best for them, obviously, but I’ve never enjoyed or felt those kinds of splits worked for me. With three or four training moments per week I prefer upper body/lower body programs or push/pull.
I prefer the traditional “bro split” which I posted yesterday. But I’ve never been a fan of push/pull programs or upper/lower body days. I don’t think they’re effective for me at all.
I train 6 days and I stick to the split I posted above. It works well for me, but like you said everybody is different so you have to work out what works for best for you.
@Trion no problem bro, throw it over to me when it’s done and I’ll have a look.
What do you guys think are the best nutriments to gain weight except junk food ofc, i’m quite sure that i have a high metabolism, work out 2 to 3 times a week, with a footy game thrown in there every two weeks, i weigh around 75kg, but i’d like to bulk up a bit more and do it cleanly, any tip would be much appreciated.
You might have some impingement, so it’s important to warm up your shoulder and stretch it.
Plus, warming up and strengthening your rotator cuff is very beneficial for strength, posture and overall health.
Honestly this guy is the best, I’ve not gone wrong since I subscribed to him:
If you’re unsure about something, there will be a video for you. This guy is legit

I don’t like his videos. Think there is a lot of misinformation on his videos at times and often he’s telling people to avoid some of the most fundamental muscle building exercises out there.
Each to their own on how people want to look but I like dense, strong and hard muscle and that guy teaches people how to be total pussies in the gym.
Yeah just eat junk food lol clean bulking is for losers with slow metabolisms. Us high-metabolism gods must use our gifts to make great gains in musculature with minimal additional fat accumulated during the same period of time.

He is great.
When the frequency is that high than indeed, but more often than not I find myself three times per week in the gym. Splits like ub/lb and push/pull give more opportunity to train the same muscles groups twice per week in stead of once imo.
Lol, if it weren’t for other health issues that might result from eating junk food regularly, i would’ve taken that route no doubt.
