Honestly this is why a lot of people quit their cut early. It’s not the workouts, it’s the mental fatigue stacking up week after week.

Yeah bro, super normal. Strength blows up first.

Yeah bro it’s definitely making a comeback. Pumps feel way more full, especially on high-rep days.

Deadlift felt way safer once I started using a belt. Before that my core would gas out quick.

RDLs start from the top and you push your hips back. Deadlifts start from the floor, so the movement feels different.

I actually prefer non-stim for late workouts. Feels smoother and no crash later.

I use it when I’m traveling or super busy. Not a replacement for food, but better than nothing.

I train better alone. No waiting around, no distractions, just get in and get the work done.

I think people go too extreme with it. Beltless is great for technique and control, but max effort days? I’m strapping up every time.

Execution matters more than grip. If you’re pulling elbows down and in, you’ll hit lats regardless. If you’re just thinking “chin over bar,” grip won’t save you.
