That one time I dieted down and had the waist of a 12 year old girl…A couple tips to remember when dieting
-
Keep your protein high- this is going to help us keep the muscle that you’ve built as well as satiate hunger.
-
Keep hydrated- water is a key factor when it comes to your performance in the gym, the less hydrated you are, the more your training will suffer and the look of your physique will decline (water will also help satiate hunger).
-
Stick to the plan- your success is in your hands, no one is forcing you to get in shape. The better you stick to the plan the better your results will be, simple as that.

Flashback to 5 or 6 weeks out from my first show in 2020

I remember taking this picture and thinking I was fu**in jacked😂 oh did I have so much to learn
-
This is when I really fell in love with the sport, training in the OG seeing train everyday. Understanding how hard I could push myself. It doesn’t get any better than that.
-
Just rambling at this point but man that s**t was fun.

I don’t go out often, but when I do, I don’t skip dessert 🤷‍♂️

Big fall guy

JUST OVER 1 MONTH POST SHOW!
-
Weight: up 8-9 pounds
Strength: still not 100% but it’s coming back
Lines: still intact but I really enjoy a good cheeseburger
-
All in all I’m happy with the progress I’ve made but now is where consistency really kicks back in.
-
Won’t be getting back on stage till probably mid 2022 so it’s time to treat the off-season like a prep and make as much progress as possible.
-
Hope everyone’s week is going smoothly, and if not there’s still time to turn that s**t around. Stay positive.

Finish your week strong! There’s work to be done!

How should your training change when you’re dieting?
-
Short answer: IT ABSOLUTELY SHOULDN’T
-
-
Long answer: when it comes to dieting a huge mistake that people make is immediately increasing their volume and increasing the overall rep range that they’re training in.
-
By doing this you’re actually putting yourself at risk of losing more muscle in the deficit than you would if you continued to train at a lower volume and rep range.
-
The reason for this is that your muscles are a product of adaptation. When you lift heavy with a high intensity your body sees the need to adapt and create muscle to “survive” the stimulus you’re putting it through.
-
By no longer lifting heavy AND eating in a caloric deficit, your body no longer has any reason to hold on to so much muscle and starts using it for energy.
-
Lesson to be learned: train heavy and try to progress your lifts even if you’re dieting.
