π₯¦ Nutrition in Training Phases π₯¦
These points matter because muscle growth is not driven by training alone, itβs driven by how well nutrition supports each phase of training.

Adjusting Diet Based on Progress βοΈπ
Without periodic adjustments, excessive calories may lead to unnecessary fat gain, while too few calories can hinder muscle growth.
ποΈ Track Body Composition, Not Just Weight
π Adjust Caloric Intake Gradually
π Modify Macronutrient Ratios

Being forced to #deload is humbling and frustrating.
Back in the #gym game since a few days now and #training is going good again after #deload π
Today was #pullday so you see me doing weighted #pullup 88kg(that's me) + 10kg Vest. Luckily I'm not that tall so I can still get full strength in my #basementgym
Like always doing the eccentric part slowly and controlled... At least as slow as possible under that load π

I'm not dead... Just make #deload
What does this mean for me?:
- reduce frequency! 2 rest days after each #gym session
- reduce volume! I only do like 4 sets for a muscle at each #training
- reduce intensity! I only do a maximum of 80% of the weight I would normally do.
- NO CAFFEINE AT ALL! Resetting #caffeine sensitivity.
Why am I doing it?
To prevent #overtraining and keep up performance in the long run.
However mentally this is much harder for me than going to the gym every day π
