I will adjust accordingly with all the information you have provided in that forum.

Same shit, “EK” trying his best to make people feel stupid, that’s the reason I stopped being a part of this community to begin with. I thought after his injuries and that bad accident he’d mellow out a bit, but no. I’ll still troll, but I have no intentions of being a part of anything here.

I would suggest you should concentrate on calorie deficit. What Is a Calorie Deficit? Each bite of food you eat contains energy in the form of calories. You need to consume calories for your body to function properly. But most of us consume more calories than we need each day. This creates a calorie surplus or calorie...

2 monthsframe (73): aha, I see the point, intermediate progression is purely for strength progress then, or if chosen for hypertrophy goals then other exercises for same muscle have to go up in volume which also complicates a program quite a bit, but still may be useful if strength gains plateaued for longer period of time..

I'm also struggling with spasms in my left Glute Med. It gets so bad that if I stand or walk long enough it will radiate down my quad to the knee causing a numb/wet feeling. If I sit and do some stretching I get instant relief. With that, I've been doing all kinds of hip abductions...

If you don’t you'll make excuses. Not working out a way to fit meals in is no excuse to start a cut when you’re you don’t have enough muscle to start with though. -3X
