Tried one of those high stem press and couldn’t even focus on my lifts Heart rate was too high the whole session

I keep it super basic eggs and toast for breakfast chicken and rice for lunch and some kind of meat with veggies for dinner Rotate sauces so it doesn’t get boring

Body fat calipers aren’t perfect but they give me a rough idea during cuts

Beans and lentils help add variety especially when I want something different

I don’t feel creatine immediately but over time it clearly helps performance

It’s usually not one thing For me it was small fixes slightly more food, fewer junk sets, better recovery

Egg white omelet loaded with veggies and some low-fat cheese Huge volume, low cal, keeps me full for hours

Been there man Going to failure every set killed my recovery Now I stop 1–2 reps short most of the time and only go all-out on the last set Way better results

Peanut butter oatmeal has been clutch Oats whole milk whey banana and a big spoon of peanut butter Fast cheap and tons of calories

I track my lifts instead of my looks When I’m moving more weight or getting more reps that’s proof I’m improving The mirror lies sometimes but the numbers don’t
