@steelhead haha, I could have included a section about how every chore is easy now: no more problem changing the bed covers and lifting the matress ! Coming back with the groceries and the 6 liters of Milk: easy and i can squeeze my biceps curl in on the way back home. Going up the 5 floors with...

@blizzardy happy to help :)

@cickes I guess it's the same a combination of not too high of a deficit, staying high in proteins and trying to progressively overload as much as possible. I think there is also a phase during the cut where i looked really like shit because I had been cutting for a while and was feeling like my...

@epthediah Thanks :) Now that I think about it, I might had an additional section to talk about my struggles with the perception others had/are having in regards to my fitness journey.

@asus3408 Thanks for the question. I have added a more detailed paragraph on nutrition, which is like 75% of the work! I don't know how I forgot about it XD. I mostly focused on proteins. I don't eat a lot of sugar normally, but I had to stop baking bread and rely more on salads. It was easier...

@marlow1 Thanks :) Since being aware of this, my first reaction to someone saying "why is the scale going up when I'm still in a calorie deficit" is :are you a person with a menstrual cycle and are you ovulating or on your period?" and it is almost always that

@bryttaaniarynn Haha! I used to have noodle arms with 0 shape, so I am really happy with them nowadays :)

@caitlin_12 Glad you found it interesting :)

@aurora Fair enough! Naps are good if you don't overdo it :)

@aurora My energy levels were definitely down. Lots of afternoon naps were made. In terms of performance, I managed to up all my lifts during my cut, so maybe I just had newbie gains in reserve that were just waiting to be squeezed XD. I've also been supplementing in iron and vitamin D in the...

@kithstack I was very food obsessed. Like 95% of the time I was thinking of my next meal and what strategy to use to wait for my partner coming back from work quite late. I was extremely moody as well, and if he came later without giving me notice, I would be pissed until I ate XD. Volume eating...

@dawn16 I'm using a fitbit inspire 3. It was cheap at the time I bought it. Not as cheap as a xiaomi, but I think I read the sensors were a bit more accurate. For long term term graphs and visualisation with my periods, I have wrote a script to fetch my data on the web API and combine everything...

@cant_think_of_a_name Thanks! I've been sending her more pics of my biceps twice a week and since then she's stopped commenting, so hopefully she's learned the lesson XD.

@ceno101 My glutes are like hard rock now. Probably thanks to the heavy RDL, but I would say that I definitely grew my quads more than my glutes and hamstring. However, I know that glutes are difficult to grow on a calorie deficit, so it may not be program's fault. Now that I am eating more and...

@dawn16 My warm up is: 5 minutes on the stationary bike, then 15 leg swings front to back and 15 leg swings side to side. Then I'm using Tom Merrick's 15 minutes full body mobility beginner routine . He has tons of videos with more specific body part and flexibility routine. I really like...

@jennac You're welcome to! I'm glad it's interesting enough for anyone :)

@lmcl2726 You can find a template for the split I'm following here: https://liftvault.com/programs/strength/metallicadpa-ppl-template/ Good luck on your journey :)

Hi everyone, I've been posting on the dedicated threads recently, about my recent sense of achievement on my results, and I thought that I could create a bigger post with an overview of my progress so far. Brace yourselves, it's probably going to be a long post. Sorry in advance. The...
