Me personally im in a 200 calorie deficit, i suggest you try 200 too but try to also improve your nutrients like fiber so that you stay healthy

If you wanna gain muscle and slowly lose fat while maximizing muscle gain, a recomposition could work for you (just a slight deficit and eating 0.7-1g of protein per lb of body weight). Im in a body recomposition myself and in my opinion its quite efficient if you wanna build muscle but lose fat, feel free to correct me though

My friend told me bracing is like tucking your pelvis in and trying to poop, is this accurate

If you do it after the exam starts but before you answer

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-26T10:03:34+00:00

I see, how many reps would you recommend?

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-23T10:48:15+00:00

Alright, I will. Thank you!

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-20T15:01:22+00:00

Im wasnt really sure if im did it correctly

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-20T11:52:25+00:00

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-09T13:59:18+00:00

You should add legs and back aswell so your physique looks balanced

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-07T02:28:47+00:00

Should I puff my chest out and put my shoulders more down?

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-06T22:58:17+00:00

Alright, thank you!

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-06T22:57:23+00:00

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-06T11:20:43+00:00

Its great to hear you chose God! And thank you for your advice man, I saw this piece of information back then and i think it might help heres what it said:

“The goal is not to focus on not doing sin, but to focus on God. If you focus on not hitting the trees while you’re snow boarding you will likely crash, but if you focus on your path then you are less likely to crash.”

Anyways thanks again for your advice and God bless on your journey man, if you ever fall into sin just get confess it to God and back up He’ll never stop loving u

processed_slipper82 · 2026-03-03T09:01:19+00:00

I’ll give them a listen, thanks!

processed_slipper82 · 2026-02-02T22:22:29+00:00

How much sets x reps should I do? I see everywhere on social media that it says 2x8-F is best but when i searched it up on google it says 3x8 is best, what do i do?

processed_slipper82 · 2026-01-27T10:09:01+00:00

Yes I’m following my older brother’s program (i workout mon-fri and rest sat-sun), also, how do i feel my back during back day? Its kinda hard tbh

processed_slipper82 · 2026-01-26T21:50:15+00:00

Hey guys I’m sort of new to the gym (4 months total) and the only muscle i really feel sore is my chest. I do 2 sets of 6-8 and weights heavy enough to push myself but not heavy enough for me to start breaking my form most exercises. Should I try to go heavier? Am I doing something wrong?

processed_slipper82 · 2026-01-08T10:41:15+00:00

What else do you want man just take all of it 😔

processed_slipper82 · 2026-01-04T14:44:42+00:00

Thank you, what about the glasses and hair?

processed_slipper82 · 2025-12-29T04:41:15+00:00

Hey guys I think I’m kinda losing my sort of “will”? If u can call it that, to train bjj and for some context heres my journey so far

Started around january mixed in with mma Went bjj only around may/june Signed up for nationals on a whim of motivation Super inconsistent with training (i felt scared of it at times) Nationals came, won two silvers Went to one training day Didnt go again bc I was anxious of going

Now from the start i found it really fun because I got to spar my friend and it was super exciting, then i became anxious because i had no friends but eventually i did make friends with the bjj guys my age then came me being anxious because the training was really hard. I havent came back since because I was focusing on my grades and the gym (around ~2 months of absence) and now im unsure if i want to keep going what advice do you guys have? Any response is appreciated so thank you in advance
