    Here’s what worked for me:
    Non negotiable, every morning fasted upon waking 10 rounds of 15 second holds, 15 sec rest between
    Even if at fist you can’t physically see yourself pulling the vacuum, just stay consistent with it and it will happen

    I like to work in all rep ranges. A top set of 6-8, a back off set or 10-15

    No problem going into your reverse from here!
    I would take it gradual. What are your current daily macros and how much cardio are you doing? Along with what has been your rate of loss the past few weeks? I can help give you a good amount to increase off of from there

    1g per meal is a good base, if you sweat a lot and/or around training meals you can go to 1.5g/meal

    We won’t find anyone actively trying to put on muscle for competitive bodybuilding on here trying to run lol
    But I do have respect for it and am intrigued by it! I’ve considered the same thing you mentioned in the process of downsizing.

    Are you wanting to continue weight training as well?

    What is your current body composition? Are you checking your blood sugar? Have you changed any supplements recently? Do you do any cardio?

    It’s absolutely possible, but my question to you is, are you following a nutrition plan outside of training that caters to your recovery?

    Hey man! I like the enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
    In my opinion if you are able, I believe it would be wise to seek out a coach. Look at their clients and the results they are producing and how they conduct themselves to know if it is a good choice for you.

    I cook it the same way every time with the same weights dry weight vs water, and I measure per meal via cooked amount
    Consistency is what matters most

    Think before you react. You are in charge of your actions and behaviors despite how you feel.

    Yes this plan is perfectly fine. Ultimately it comes down to, is your training performance progressing? And if so then what you’re doing is good! If not, then it may need some adjusting.

    February 24, 2026 at 2:01 am in reply to: Programming legs 3x a week

    I’ve seen it work with myself, but it’s split quads + secondary hams, off, glutes, off, hams + secondary quads, off, off. You’re most likely not going to be able to recover from hitting each one of those 3x per week if you are training hard enough. Prioritizing a body part also means deprioritizing others to allow for the recovery, so while I was doing this to maximize full results I pulled back on training everything else.

    Key point you started with is bigger people. Meaning they may be at the point that they do not need a big surplus to improve.
    It does not apply to people who need to put on a fat larger amount of muscle than they currently have.
