I've decided to just body recomp and stop bulking because I'm 50 and tired
When I was younger, bulking up and then losing the fat was a great strategy - even at age 46, it was do-able. Now that I'm turning 50 I find it so hard to take that weight off without losing the gains. I'm just happy with eating at maintenance (1900 cals a day) and just stick to re-comping. The progress is slower and the…

Reverse dieting bloating?

After 1950 I was 61kg and then I went to 2300 and only jumped to 61.1kg, so this called for another increase. But last weekend had a few drinks and slipped up with a…

Snacking to make up for Undereating
I've had an issue with undereating for years now. I was recently advised to focus on eating more, smaller meals throughout the day, but constantly trying to eat meals when I don't want to is frustrating and honestly a bit stressful.

Game Changers
Has anyone watched this? It makes a compelling case for vegan diets being better for athleticism and strength. It is a documentary by MMA champion James Wilks. It is perhaps guilty of bias in terms of its evidence and cases. It showcased vegan strongman Baboumian without recognising that Bjornsson eats a cow a day. Still,…

Transitioning to heavier lifting. Please advise. Please.
So I run. But I’m cutting back the long endurance and want to focus on 5k/8k/10k (over half and full marathons). So I lift for running. I Dona fair amount of upper body work.
