I just warm up until the movement feels comfortable and my joints feel ready

Yeah I cut out a bunch of random stuff and digestion improved almost immediately

Buying frozen chicken and frozen veggies instead of fresh saved me a lot

Once I started seeing progress confidence came naturally

I used hand portions instead of weighing food Way less stress and easier long term

I see mixed opinions on this Some lifters still sip BCAAs during workouts others say it’s a waste if you’re already eating enough protein What’s your take

Been cutting for 6 weeks and can’t tell if my weekly cheat meal helps metabolism or just sets me back How often do you include them

I combine both mostly clean foods for meals but I fit in small treats if it fits macros Works best for staying lean and sane

I tried super slow training once didn’t love it Felt more like endurance work than hypertrophy Moderate pace seems to be the sweet spot for me

Honestly I didn’t realise how much nutrition matters until I started tracking my protein Once I hit around 1g per pound of bodyweight consistently my progress doubled Training is key but the diet really completes the picture
