Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[dtownreppin214]

Can’t front, been binging Mike Van Wyck’s videos the last few weeks. He’s a dikk but a smart dikk. His tutorial videos on chest/lat engagement are some of the best I’ve seen. Basically did a deload this week and implemented all of his pointers on rows/pulldowns/presses/flys and feel much better activation with lower weight. Recommend his YouTube channel and HD Muscle content if you’re in to that stuff.

Anyone here ever did a successful cut?

First cut ever in my life, and I feel like shyt. Am I going to constantly feel hungry?

I need old man activities now - After spraining ankle (playing basketball) and tearing my quad muscle - playing soccer. Going to focus on just lifting again when I am healthy.

Hunger will be part of it for sure….

Currently doing 2 cycles. I know I can do more easily. Prolly on my upcoming lunch break.

If you carb cycle, you don't have them problems....

Every 2nd weekend I feast....that's 2x times a month I let my inner fat kid take over and life is gooodT

I cut carbs down very low and live in the gym, down to my lowest weight since grad school, -30 lbs and counting. My cardio is where I want to focus for the next month but I had been lifting and just incline walking time to get back to running soon.

One thing that can help is if you're at a plateau, maybe increase your protein intake.

People recommend 30 grams of protein each meal. But depending on the person that could be on the low end.

30 grams is fine if you eat 5-6 meals a day and you're satisfied.

But if you're only eating 2-3 meals a day (which is fine) you might need 40 or 50 grams (or more) to hit your targets and feel satiated.

I find that people tend to stick to 30 grams per meal because of some influencer, and find out they go really heavy on the carbs. Not that carbs are bad. We need them for energy and brain function. I just find that it can be easy to get off track with that kind of approach.

I've needed to hear/read this for awhile now, feels like I've plateaued in the gym for a minute now. Really sometimes the easiest solution is increasing protein intake and progressive overload.
