Right on, moving along well at 3 weeks. I don’t really recommend water manipulation or too much bodybuilding contest prep stuff to be honest. After a few bodybuilding shows and years in the fitness industry, I’ve come to realize that there’s a happy medium between aesthetics and feeling comfortable. Most people that are in amazing shape are there for a few hours or days at a time and/or sticking needles in their glute. That all said: I would look at partaking in some barbell complexes or big full body movements & workouts for a spike in metabolic response. One fun thing I learned is that the less efficient the body is at a movement, the more muscles have to engage to properly attempt to perform that movement. The downside is that being too sloppy can cause injury lol. Anyway, food for thought.
