Hello,
@North Coast Miller
Thank you very much for your answer.
Then I'll keep running GTG for a while. That way I'll be "sure" that my extra calories will be converted into muscle and not into fat (or at least, not that much into fat).
I do not plan to follow this calorie surplus for a very long time. I give myself 2 months as a maximum. Then, I'll see where I'll be, but I will probably stop adding calorie and switch to a maintenance (more or less the same routine, but reducing progressively the calorie surplus).
The routine I'll follow from tomorrow is the following one:
- bench + squat + weighted pull up
- 2x a week
- 1 set very close to failure with a 5/5 cadence + a drop set very close to failure of an easier variation or lighter weight
- about 30s of rest between exercises
Other day, AA with heavy swings.
There will be the additional GTG routine (mainly push ups, squats and pull ups - different variations of the three). During the weekends, 1 ruck (about 2h with 30kg) and 1 run (1h15, nasal breathing). There will also be 2 boxing sessions a week.
Kind regards,
Pet'
