Muscle Gain Forum

I’ve learned to schedule refeed days just to stay sane. Helps a lot with mood and gym performance. Without that I’d probably snap halfway through the cut.

It definitely is. I spend 10 mins on mobility before I even touch a bar now. Feels amazing.

Not enough people talk about ankle mobility either. If your knees can’t travel forward, you’re gonna fold and stall. Open those ankles up and your positioning in the hole gets way stronger.

Light cardio the next day always helps me. Even a 15-min walk gets the blood flowing.

Yeah try it bro. Once you get used to it, night workouts feel much better.

Some days progress pics gas me up, other days I feel like I look worse. Head games are real.

Also, controlled articular rotations (CARs) they look weird but they keep joints smooth.

Training partners are great when they’re serious. If not, it turns into more talking than lifting.

Exactly. I like being able to look back and see patterns instead of just numbers on a screen.

I still write everything down instead of using apps. Feels more intentional. Curious if anyone else does it or if I’m just old now.
