Lean bulk > dirty bulk all day. Small surplus, steady gains, less regret later.

I keep IG but I unfollowed a bunch of fitness pages. Cleaned up the feed and it helped a lot.

High-volume push/pull/legs. Old-school volume but with smarter recovery.

Fish oil isn’t exciting, but my joints feel way better when I’m consistent with it.

Tried a few big-name ones—honestly, felt zero change. More marketing than muscle.

I switched to coffee + salt + carbs and never looked back. Energy feels smoother and I don’t crash mid-workout or feel fried the next day.

Depends on the gym too. Hardcore gyms = normal. Commercial gym at 6am = everyone judging you.

I don’t mind filming sets, but when it turns into a 10-minute production between curls, that’s when it gets annoying.

For real though, I blame the new TikTok crowd. They use 5 different dumbbells for one “superset” and leave them like breadcrumbs across the gym.

Ain’t worth forcing it, man. Every gym bro thinks they’re invincible till that one tweak turns chronic. I used to “train through it” and ended up out 6 months. These days, I deload, focus on blood flow work and get deep tissue done weekly. You’ll bounce back faster playing it smart.
