This is great. The variable model seems so much more natural and gives my brain a load more freedom, because I don't have to worry about recalibrating over a longer term if I do more or less than I had planned in a day or even a week. Because every day is all about eating back what was spent that week. That approach has seen me maintain for more than 2 years after yo-yoing for my first 50 years and then losing 7 and a half stone to get to where I want to be, all while getting quicker and stronger using a hybrid model that has 2 base sessions a week of either strength or endurance and a further 2 sessions that I tweak every 3 months for either speed, endurance, or strength. I've been with your channel throughout.

Solid video mate with some practical ideas of how to fuel whilst in a slight deficit

Would love to learn more and just signed up for the newsletter!

Great video and love the idea of variable days. One question, how do you handle carb loading for bigger endurance workouts whilst on a cut ?

Another great video! I was just wondering what app you use to track kcal and macro intake?

These nutrition videos are great. Love the breakdown of eating back 90% of cardio calories. When i go on long cardio sessions and my watch says ive burned 2000 calories. No wonder im ravenous all day after but i tend to not track my calories so might be overwating after.

Great video mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Reese!

What kind of watch were you wearing?

What is your opinion on meal timings?? Do you eat every 3 or 4 hours?? Or only when you’re hungry etc??

On the stones, I’d recommend moving closer to the platform (so close that you have to kind of tuck your head in so you don’t knock yourself out), and then you should be able to load the stone at the top of the triple extension without moving your feet at all. When you’ve lapped the stone, bring your knees in a bit closer together. Won’t make a Mmmmmm much difference at 90kg but you’ll be grateful once you reach that 150kg.

Sorry, this has been asked previously but why do you tend to do you lifting in the morning and running later in the day? My tendency tends to by the reverse so would like to know I'm not missing something. Thanks

I believe it's to get the heavier reps in earliest while fresh and get some nutrition and fluids in while recovering a bit before the running so you can get the most out of it!

Personal preference, mainly. If the other way works for you, don’t force a change for the sake of it.

Haven’t watched the whole video but I guess a ton of carbs. I do both powerlifting and running and I’m preparing my first meet and my first semi marathon at the same time, carbs are just the best energy source imo.

Carbs are 🤴 best of luck with your training!

Not sure if I missed it, but if your total is 2,528kcal and you ran and lifted, surely that's a good 1000 kcal deficit. So you'd take on 900 extra kcals, so you should have hit about 3300? Is this just an 800 kcal extra deficit day?

Lifting calories (almost nonexistent anyway) are accounted in TDEE as a baseline in this case, and there were about 200 calories (2x non-alc beers) that were missed from total (as camera died 😂) = running calories as low volume session. Check out the more detailed version here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZauXtK6SpKXeeaw.htmlsi=9lWQ3VRkPzgoQskx (to be updated with our own new calculator soon)

Is this a typical leg day?

Not entirely! Much less squat volume with injury as explained - plenty of other content covering a more normal day, but most of my assistance work is the back end of the week at the moment.

I thought Tom was Johnny there for a sec🥴😂

Not exactly. YT is very much secondary (third even) priority to the businesses, (although yes YT feeds into marketing for Omnia for sure).

This video is less than 24 hours old, and there is way more to YT than ad revenue (plus YT isn’t my main priority).
