@bingsta Don't overthink stuff. Measure your progress in weight and track your workouts. If you're making progress, keep doing what you're doing. The most important things are good technique and progress in reps and weight. Focus on chasing these things with passion and don't overthink stuff...

@bingsta 18 to 24 sets per workout. Depends how advanced you are and how heavy or light the exercises. Do as much as you can do with good effort. If you see yourself fluffing around by the end, you're probably doing too much.

@pmichel You can't have both cutting without losing muscle and cutting in the shortest amount of time, they are mutually exclusive. A good place to start is to aim for a deficit of 1% of body weight/week.

@clarissa_ Love this post because someone could come here expecting some magic hack to gains but its just nail the basics and then keep nailing the basics, and then keep nailing it some more.
