im considering going from 5g to 10g.

Transparent Lab is a great company (using it for a month now)

Just stay in a deficit, hit your macros, do a little cardio and keep lifting. Why stick a needle in your ass?

Does creatine expire?

yes

switched to a high intensity/low volume split for this cut and its been a nice change. it's only my first week of doing it so i'll see how it feels in a few months but so far it feels great. i think i was already pretty good at locking in during my longer sessions but i feel like my focus has increased even more since i know i have to make the most out of my limited sets

Did my first deadlift today at 245

I’ve been doing 2 sets high intensity and I feel like I broke my plateau

normal or reverse grip

i passed out doing bench press and fked up my thumb 😭

real humbling to see how much I was overtraining before. Reduced my cardio intensity and not moving as much but seeing much better results fat burning wise. the amount of cortisol I must’ve been generating it almost feels too easy now but it’s good to know I just gotta be more patient

Im not really sure gang. I just lifted

how much

what cardio were you doing ? if you are training now to gain muscle strength just do incline 20 mins speed 2.8-30 on a good incline level or Stairmaster level like 8-10 20 mins or walk a lot hit 10 k

245 lbs

what were you doing wrong?

Sorry I need all the 45s in the gym so I can do calf raises on the leg press

Once your muscles are saturated going up won’t make a difference

I’m not ready up on any of the “cognitive benefit” research that I’ve heard about tho

Low volume always the way to go on a cut

Goals to maintain at the end of the day

Been sayin

How did this happen

i just passed out and it slipped from my hands onto the safety rack

actually it was 260

When i go to the gym on monday ill try bench press inshallah

never really done the bulk and cut cycle. i've only been locked in on the gym since august of 2024, so i still got a lot to learn and experiment with. but yeah, i read/watched a lot of stuff about high intensity/low volume being beneficial during a cut, so i decided to test it out

did it again today with ease idk what happened last time
