Meal prepping on Sundays helps me a lot If food is ready I don’t have to think or rely on willpower during the week

I give a program at least 8–12 weeks before judging it Switching too early was my biggest mistake

My arms and shoulders grew fast the first 6 months After that progress slowed down a lot

4–5 meals right now because I train evenings I need food spread out or I feel flat in the gym

Egg scramble with veggies and cheese Quick high protein and works any time of day

Learning basic form early helped a lot Once I stopped ego lifting and focused on doing reps correctly, my strength went up faster

If I train early I just do a scoop of whey and half a banana Can’t eat much that early or I’ll feel sluggish under the bar

Some people are just stronger later in the day Nothing wrong with sticking to what works for you

Cottage cheese with fruit a side of deli turkey Sounds basic but hits macros fast when I don’t want to cook
