Set point is a way of describing what you have been born with in terms of how your body functions when you gain/lose weight. Call it what you want. Your body knows what it is.

Then how do people gain or lose large amounts of weight? If set point is a thing, that wouldn't happen. Because logic....

Set point is just where your own hormones, BFP, metabolism, wants you to exist at, regardless of training. Just a dumb new term, like so many other terms that are bandied about that Ive read. Its set by genetics. For example, when I lose too much body fat, my body is always wanting to get back to what it wants me to be at. I'll call it normalisation. What no one seems to want to talk about is programs, workout intensity, maximising energy levels and recuperation. This is 3/4 of your muscle gain pie chart, give or take

Thanks for all the suggestions. I would just do a body recomp even if the progress is slower. Body recomp means eating at maintenance right?

Best of luck to you Bro. Reassuring not everyone favors instant gratification (quicker results) which often comes at the expense/compromise of quality results

Thanks man! I wouldn’t mind a slower progress as I’m not in a hurry to more muscles plus winter is coming up so I’d rather be eating at around maintenance than cutting! Lol!
