Completing a workout on an empty stomach is so satisfying.

Using fat as a fuel source can only yield positive results.

I can agree with this. Went yesterday morning on a empty stomach & felt great /pushed harder.

Went tonight & altho a great workout I didn’t feel anywhere near as good .

Obviously other factors (didn’t work out Sunday ) but you get the point

Was this just lifting or lifting and cardio? How long the sessions be? If lifting, how many working sets? Is it a full body, upper/lower, PPL, body part split, etc?

What about legs?

And to a degree, yeah, your shoulder girdle is being stessed each day. Is it enough to impair growth? Probably not. Could it lead to injuries/dysfunction? Quite possibly, especially if your anterior/posterior delt work is not in balance.

No comments on legs lol I got natural big legs. But I dont have a dedicated day for them rn cuz of my ankle injury. I mix in body weight squats and dead lifts on back day to get some leg work in.


Appreciate it. I think thats what fukked up my shoulder back in the day, the delt imbalance. Once I'm back 100% ima change my split to push/legs/pull/off/repeat

Gotcha.

A common mistake with PPL is doing Pull and Legs back to back. Heavy squats and bent-over rows/deads both tax the lower back and core. A better way to schedule the split is either Legs-Push-Pull or Pull-Push-Legs.

Guess I'm going to resort to hitting incline bench as a warm up before every workout, 5x5...squats 5x5 before every workout made my legs grow a lot..hopefully, does same for my upper chest

Make sure to do enough upper back and rear delt work to keep your shoulders healthy.

Let us know how it works.

The weather is changing, which means there will be fewer things to do outside.

May as well hit the gym even more.
