Damoion_figs
- How has reconnecting with God and your Faith helped you most?
megan.w.kinney
- What is the best macro breakdown for a building phase?
Amber Rich
- I’ve been lifting for 9 years, 3 years of powerlifting but the past year I’ve taken a break from powerlifting and have been doing my own training. 4-5 days a week of lifting, boxing 1-2 days, and running 1 day. I’ve noticed that my left arm/left side of my upper body seems to be more defined. Specifically, my left shoulder is bigger and rounder. Would there be a reason for that? And how can I get my right arm/shoulder to catch up??
Lisa
- When doing a refeed or diet break, are you going back up to maintenance calories or under since you might have a new maintenance? Or would you suggest a calorie range such as adding in 200 calories on refeed days?
Emily Shupe
- What is the harm or side effects from eating a higher fat diet? I am eating at maintenance and I’ve noticed I tend to crave higher-fat foods. I am 5’ 5” and weigh 158. My maintenance calories are 2500. Average macros for the last week are 155P/225C/95F. Should I change my distribution of fats + carbs? My goal is to build muscle and I’m staying at maintenance for the rest of the year
