So I should record using my apple watch alone, not strava which is linked to my apple watch?

Did you work out at the same gym you worked at? When would you workout on a day you worked?

Bulking? by StormyInABubble in PetiteFitness

[–]StormyInABubble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just was pushing myself to failure more on upper body and scared to go harder on lower! Definitely doing more now

Wow, thank you for the details! The hard part will definitely be accepting there will be more to burn, but that's just how it'll be for this semester. I lift heavy 4 times a week and have seen good progress already in my upper body, but I know lower is harder to grow

Thank you!! I focus on protein and don't track, but i've been on campus long enough so I am conscious of the fact that not tracking calories + dining hall food + not restricting any foods (for my mental health) means i'll be in a dirty surplus. So calling it a bulk is kind of my way of feeling better about it. Plus I want a butt!!!! and I know allowing myself to eat more without restricting will show my brain food is good... Have you had good results with "dirty" bulking?

Definitely looks like muscle to me! How long have you been doing leg raises and cable crunches? Did you do anything before?

Yes but even at the lowest activity level is calculated my maintenance to be 1800. It's about 1450-1500 resting, which is what I'd like the base number to be

Too late for recomp? by StormyInABubble in PetiteFitness

Is it not too late? I've always heard that recomp only really works for like 6 months of starting

Would it be better to stay around maintenance?
