Diet is the key
Having a sensible programme helps too

Being inconsistent through not tracking my calories/ protein
Being on first name terms with the fish and chip shop owner
Being reliant on whey
Accidentally bulking and cutting with no real plan

I'm surprised by the first one tbh.
Not surprised by the second hahaha
You diet must have been severely lacking in protein if even with whey you were surrendering gains
Fair

What I mean by whey is that Whey was my protein, I get about the same amount of protein as I always did, I just drink hardly any whey anymore (I largely changed as whey tastes like **** especially when you're 4.5kg into a 5kg flavour). It's more about quality of diet over, easy to access supplements.

Fair enough. Well I love the 'jammie biscuit' flavour I have right now. I would get sick of two a day though but one occasionally is fine. I get what you're saying though, how long was your diet suffering from your above 4 critiques?

Since I started I guess. I made amazing noob gains; squatting 120 for reps inside 3 months and benched 100 just over 6 months. But injury ruined me, so I never really got going and as I bang on, as a noob if you eat a lot (like I did) and have a decent programme, gains come quick. But diet was hardly on point lol; good genetics + lots of food made me stronger :biggrin:

So yeah, 2 years?

I'm talking 4 scoops a day bro. Stuff isnt great lol

Edit: that said, MP protein flatbreads are decent. And I have protein mouse, like once a month from GN

Today I was sore and tired so did volume. Won't be lifting until Tuesday now and will be doing BB style training 3x a week as bb gym; hard to deadlift there etc.

Routine going to be a bit altered next term with exams and rotations; going to have a lighter weight volume day as either day 2 or 3 as going all out one set has worked but going so hard each time has become harder and harder as I've got stronger. Won't be a massive change though, as my routine has been working very well indeed!
