Could make sense. Thanks everyone! I'll up my caloric intake. I don't lift 2x a day now just 5x4 a day max.

Thank you!

Yeah I'll use this thread, sorry I didn't realize this one was for diets too. If I could delete the old one I would 🤫

Thank you everyone! Might have given me loads more motivation to carry on with my diet. 🙌

What are the weights and what techniques are you using? Just curious and I'm also a beginner!

Beginner weightlifter here, currently just focusing on my core doing 5x6 100kg deadlifts twice a day, absolutely destroys me haha
