Besides the odd birthday or event where I’ve had to break my IF streak I’ve been doing it for a year. Longest streak was 6 months doing 20:4 🙏🏾
Got a recent check up and blood test and everything was good
my parents have also been doing it but 18:6 and their health has also improved.
Wish people were more open to it. When you bring it up they think you have an eating disorder.
Got dam

so Immediate fasting is not eating as much as you do before or eating like in small portions of foods ?
I didn't mind being in a deficit since I was trying to lose weight and for a time it was good. Now I'm in the awkward phase of getting back into lifting but I'm not sure if I'm getting enough calories in since I can tell I've lost a lot of strength. But aesthetically I've gotten the lean but built look that I wanted. I never wanted the bodybuilder/powerlifter look.
If you're trying to bulk and you need more cals I honestly wouldn't know tbh. I always have a massive late breakfast around 11 and have my lunch straight after. Usually finish eating by 1 or 2 at the latest. Water fast after that. Given our goals might be different it's tough to advise you to do what I did. I guess I'm lucky I had already bulked lol (being a little overweight before changing my training)
i think i am doing something like this i eat around 11 like oatmeal egg whites fruit with greek yogurt, then sometimes if i am going to workout right away and have to weight a few hours i would eat lunch like at 130 maybe 2 id eat a half a bowl of rice and and chicken like 2 breast or 1 and a half, i dont count carbs to so would you say that is calorie deficient i dont eat around 2000 calories i would guess if i had to plus i am diabetic type 1, gotta match my insulin with what i eat plus i am 5'7 an around 185 plus the last thing is that i workout from home since the gyms are closed here in canada and only got adjustable weights and a pull up bar, TBH I have been doing this kind of way of working out for a while now and i have cut down i am more defined so i think what you mentioned is helping you
I be saying...
that at home s*** takes another level of discipline.
been working out at home over a year i think i told you lol since the gyms in canada is closed still over a year and yes your right
Thinking of just dropping deadlifts and doing progressive overload for barbell rows instead. Is this fine or are deadlifts that crucial to building good body
you need deadlits it helps with everything
The fear is getting to me
try it with dumbbells to it also does the job
NECK TRAINING IS MANDATORY
Coincidentally hitting neck hard af recently lol
ppl stretchg before and after every muscle i do like compound stretching before and after its needed so you dont feel sore after
ok absolute beginner here.
i've used the gym before but never gotten into lifting and stuff like that. I booked myself a slot there for monday.
what tips do you think I should know before I start.
my main goal for monday is to get comfortable and try and get the best form I can.
thanks.

First and foremost I would ask u what routine u plan on running? There’s a lot of beginner ones you can find online but that’s super important to follow a plan with progression and not just winging it.
You also have the highest potential for gains as a beginner so make u sure u got a workout program that takes full advantage of that!

i can’t tell you how important it is to stretch and shake s*** off you 10%0000%0 correct
At 205 max for bench right now going for 210 tomorrow. Feel so close yet so far away from 225

I basically skip dinner. My window is usually 11-3. Some days 10-2. Water only after the window.

Yep. But this is assuming you don’t need to bulk up. Definitely lost some strength but aesthetically I’m happy with that trade off. But it’s weird doing some tasks now that were so easy before 💀
I still eat carbs as well but try to stay under 100g on days I’m not working out. And I have a cheat meal once a week so I don’t get mad cravings. It’s definitely something to try if you are plateauing.
But since I know most guys in here are trying to build muscle I’d tell them to be careful doing this. This is probably better if you’re cutting.
