I just got into calorie periodization a few weeks ago since Ive been training for a half marathon while still doing a lot of resistance training. I was so impressed when I was able to run a 9 miler then the next day hit a heavy leg day and intervals easily by periodizing my calories. Very cool stuff, I'm definitely going to utilize it still after my half for my improvement season for bodybuilding

Nice video! I was already planning my nutrition that way without really realizing that I was doing it. I was simply trying to optimize my everyday life ... 💪🏼😊

How do you adjust your calories when doing the daily/weekly cycling?
Do you determine average baseline calories based on total weekly average activity and then adjust based on goal and high and low days? For instance average TDEE=1800 (BMR) * 1.6 (activity facotr) = 2880 ~2900kcal then to cut subtract 500 from the average for ~1lb per week = ~2400 and then say 5 low days with 2 refeed days at maintenance = 5x 2200 and 2x 2900?
OR do you determine baseline calories for rest days and then add calories to compensate for activity? For instance TDEE=1800(BMR) * 1.2 (rest day activity factor) = 2160~2150kcal then adjust this based on goal but account for activity using metabolic equilavent of task (MET) values? So you would get 5x 1450 and 2x 2150 but adding back activity which would need to equal ~750 kcal per day to equate to the first example? This could be ~2 hrs vigorous weight lifting on training days.
Really interested in nutritional periodization but having a hard time finding anyone giving actual quanitative recommendations.

Good informative video. Hope to see more.
Will you be posting a video on muscle stabilisation?

In regards to a diet break where you just don't count or care about calories during the holidays. I like to do the same thing. Only I haven't been able to decide on how many calories I should be starting out with as soon as the holidays are over and I want to get back into the swing of things. Any tips on how to decide that for oneself as far as cutting calories right away, doing a maintenance count or go into a bulk?

Very helpful! Thanks

Hey mate, great video! Quick question.. how much would you add on your "training days" and how much would you take from your rest days? e.g.: + 150 calories on training day - 150 calories on rest day? is there a specific range you follow?

[@dopesigma]

Your neck is fucking insane. Do you train it directly?
