If you take a closer look you would know it's your calories which are doing most of the work.
Even if you eat enough protein but ended up having more calories than maintenance, you would never lose weight.
On the other hand, even if protein intake is good, but not eating slight surplus calories; then building muscles is gonna be a long and hard journey.

If you’ve got:
-Belly fat
-Brain fog
-Low sex drive
-No ambition
Your T is crying for help.
Answer it with discipline, not excuses.

Hey Shivam! Good question 😊
Honestly, I did assisted pull-ups because it was the very last exercise of the session and I was already completely drained of energy. I could have tried normal pull-ups, but my form would have completely broken down and I risked injury.
I preferred to do the assisted version to at least finish the sets properly for the video.
Pull-ups without assistance are definitely the goal, but on that day I simply had no battery left. Thanks for asking sincerely, especially as a beginner — it’s smart to understand these things! Keep going 💪

What’s one piece of fitness advice you wish you could tell your beginner self? (Besides 'eat more protein')

In the end, it's all about how badly you want it and the efforts, intensity and hard work you are willing to put in to get the results.
With this mindset, it's back to chest and shoulders this Thursday.

I have looked into it this is the reasoning behind it. 👇
Carbs are literally your body's preferred fuel source, and If you have taken some carbs before training, your muscles generally have more glycogen which helps with the strength and endurance.
Caffeine is a different game, Its not for energy, but it can make you feel more alert, focused and less fatigued.
Thanks @tryingtobeLFA for engaging with the post and sharing your observation! You are absolutely spot on! 🫡

have you given any thoughts to why gym buds recommend having some sort of carbs or caffeine before hitting the gym?
I am curious about your take on it, since both seem to be pretty common preworkout strategies for improving energy and performance!
What's the science behind it?
Shivam retweeted
Our body uses carbs as a fuel, which gets broken into glucose and then carried by blood to cells for energy output. So taking carbs before your workout refuel your tank so you can perform better.
Caffine helps in building focus and also regulate your blood flow in the body, which leads to better energy output too.
This is a very simple explaination, hope this helps

Let's talk about the Glycogen!
Glycogen is the stored form of carbohydrates in our body. like when we eat Carbs such as Rice, potatoes, oats, banana etc., our body breaks them down into glucose i.e., Sugar!
Any extra glucose that is not immediately used for energy is stored as glycogen in the body.

Small correction glycogen basically stores in muscle and any excess then it goes to fat.. that’s why high muscle can absorbs high carbs and helps insulin resistance..

the real question is that, if it's safe to eat 100g of protein in a single meal?
The most I have personally had in one sitting is 12 eggs, which basically is 72gm of protein.
What's the highest amount of protein you hve ever eaten in a single meal?

Why Not all fats are the same???
Let’s decode the type of fats because the type you eat matters for inflammation, cholesterol, and long-term heart health.
Fats are broadly categorised into 4 groups
1. Monosaturated
2. Polysaturated
3. Saturated
4. Trans
These are basically differ by chemistry and that chemistry determines how they behave in the body:🧵🧵
