    Quitting sugar --- healthy or too restrictive?

    @wif9afda That’s interesting because I’m the exact opposite. I used to be bulimic though so have experienced true binges where I would leave the house to go buy binge food. Now I find if I have several kinds of cookies, chips, candy in the house, it doesn’t feel so special and off limits and I...

I love the amraps and it really helps deloads not feel like failures because you still PR basically every day, whether by weight or reps. I just added in basically one superset worth of accessories for each compound and feel like...

    Skinny Obese?!? DEXA Surprise, 32f 5'9" 152lbs 44%BF!

    @kagenonikki Yeah, when someone asked by boyfriend how to know when to bulk/cut and he replied “you bulk until you hate yourself and then cut until you hate yourself” I decided it was time to suggest therapy and a more moderate approach to bodybuilding.
