I love you physic , I also think you appear bigger in the back area, but it’s maybe also a little adipose tissue. Nevertheless, I would love to see the end result.
@@turnippatrol4607 ok. So either he's at 18% bodyfat and needs to lose 12% of fat. Or, he's at 12% bodyfat and needs to lose 6% fat and another 6% muscle with it. Seems strange.
@@ericjames7819 That's a very simplistic way of looking at it. The weight that you gain or lose is not purely composed of fat or muscle. There's a lot of fluid weight that's going to be lost, especially for someone getting into rock-hard shape for a bodybuilding contest
They are saying I’ll need to lose 10-13% of my current body mass to be in stage condition, and as the other commenters mentioned, you can’t assume pure losses of fat, water weight comes into this, food mass in the gut, and finally, losses of lean mass aren’t necessarily losses in skeletal muscle mass. This is very much based on a decade of prepping athletes to the stage and noticing associations between initial and final condition and how much weight loss occurred
If Eric is interested in emphasizing his back more this time then he can always consider switching RDLs for stiff leg deadlifts. The higher hips means less hip flexion but conversely more total distance traveled. The objective can be summed up as "hinge into a barbell row start position". I prefer the closer grips above snatch grips because horizontal adduction seems to help on every back lift.
Good question! It actually cleared up before I started the forearm training. I think it initially cropped up because I jumped into higher arm training volume too quickly without ramping up, and then the way I managed it was by being liberal with allowing myself to modify the biceps/triceps exercise choice on any given day, and the rep range, vs rigidly sticking to what’s on my excel sheet every single session.
Getting another episode of this is a perfect way to end my birthday!
Road to infinite volume series! Kidding. Good stuff, very interesting to see the perspective of multiple coaches on this.

Are they saying he's about 12% bodyfat over stage weight? So he's supposed to be something like 18% bodyfat here?
I think he means he'll need to lose about 12% of his bodyweight to reach contest shape

@@Team3DMJ seems like a lot of weight to lose without losing muscle, but if gym performance is pretty much maintained no problem.

hey eric!
do you think forearm training has alleviated the tendonitis, or something else?
