Bump, so I can keep following :tongue:

Bump. Loving this! :tongue:

More than a bit relevant as indicated by other posters. Linking to my wall, as a much needed constant reminder :)

Thanks Sara - understood and noted. I'll increase cals/carbs on weight lifting days and decrease on cardio days for a total of maintenance cals over the week. Realistically how long should I expect to see an increase in LBM using the recomp method? Obviously it would be slower than the bulking/shredding cycle you're…

Thanks Sara - so basically I'm doing a form of calorie cycling - with higher cals on lift days and lower on cardio days - but average over the week is equal to maintenance cals. I do a bit of that already, but it's not to the same level, normally only an increase or decrease of 100-150 cals at most in the form of some…

But I also realise that I would likely also gain bf whilst increasing LBM, and I think I need to ponder that for awhile to see whether I'm prepared to accept a gain to achieve a gain. That's interesting re the pill…

Thanks for your responses. Sara - Thanks for the video. It basically confirms that the type of training I'm doing is correct, but has given me extra guidance on how to better structure my cardio around my weight training. I'm not trying to get to 15% for competition - I don't compete, I train purely for my own vanity (and…
