Beyond that, you will expire and none of this will matter.
But that’s a silly reason to not make the most of today.

If you put on 10kg of muscle, you could get away with eating more than you do now even without all your conditioning. Why not set yourself up for success in the future, by setting up the conditions that will remove future constraints, rather than learning to live within constraints you don’t even have yet, just because you one day will?

Thesis does. And master’s degree too. NOT kidding
You don’t have kids I take it?

This literally makes no sense.
T3hPwnisher touched on it beautifully imo- in a couple of years you will die, so why bother with anything?
My director has a fun saying- “you never know if you’ll get hit by a bus tomorrow, so you better make sure someone else can follow what you did”.
If I applied your apparent mentality to what my director says then I think it would become- “you never know if you’ll get hit by a bus tomorrow, so you shouldn’t bother doing anything that no one else can replicate or understand.”
Point I’m trying to make- the mentality and the way you approach situations should matter.

No, good sir, I don’t have children of my own yet.
It’s a bit of an inside joke where I’m from to compare doing thesis or masters to having a baby
I like “good sir”, let’s hope that catches on.
But yeah, I’ve done both and they aren’t even remotely comparable.

This morning’s weight: 40.1kg
Week 1: day 3 ( yesterday’s training)
Deadlift: 1x5-60, 2x5-75, 1x5-85, 4x4-90, 3x4,1x3-95, 2x5-85
Incline bench: 5x5-40kg
- a bit stiff going in but felt okay- deadlifts felt heavier than expected but not too hard to complete- grip failing on heavier sets though, bench felt strong, really worked chest
@Pinkylifting the program called for 3x4 at 96kg and the fractional plates haven’t arrived yet +100kg was not happening. Was my substitution okay?
Absolutely yes. In any of the Sheiko apps it asks for your smallest plates and rounds to the closest.
The fact you only got 3 final set says down was definitely the right way to go.

Week 1: day 4
5x(10alt lunges-50kg+20pushups+30jumping jacks)-9:25
3 min rest
3x(10 rows-40kg+20alt pistols+30jumping jacks)-5:23
3x(15tricep pushdown+20face pulls)-27.5lbs
Technique: hs hold
- lower body really tired and sore, lunges really hard but got easier by last two rounds, got HR up pretty good, rows and upper body accessory harder than expected
This is more golden than you’ll realize, Anna. I’d go so far as to say it’s fucking genius. What Pinky’s saying will set you up to maintain an even better physique with much less effort as life gets busier. Which happens more quickly than you’d imagine.

Very much so.
I think the key thing for Anna to learn is that heavier doesn’t mean fatter, or worse.
I by no means imply this is your situation @anna_5588 it’s hyperbolic for expository purposes.
In the below picture, right is about 50lb heavier than the left. Gaining weight does not mean losing your physique, quite the opposite when you are training the right way.
You’re sitting between these points.
Keep following ‘do more eat less’ and you’ll end up trending towards the left.
Follow ‘do more eat more’ or just eat for recovery and you’ll end up at the right.

Have you ever felt hungrier the day after a hard workout?

Yep! Every damn time.

Oh yes. But, if you were to center more nutrients around your workout you might not experience it to the same degree,
While calories in/calories out absolutely matters more than nutrient timing, timing nutrients around your workout certainly isn’t a bad idea. And… just plain eating an hour after your workout rather than several hours after isn’t really nutrient timing, just a plain good idea.

It’s just today, normally I don’t feel ready to eat until noon/1pm so I’m guessing it has to do more with my bad sleep quality these past two days?
Yeah, at least once you finish a masters degree you have a degree and it can open some doors.
If you have a kid, you’re just stuck with a kid.
