@trynalw If you plan on reaching gw first then there is no point of recomp, you will have to eat in a slight surplus and train. Recomp by default means being in a deficit whilst training muscles. And you won’t look fatter because it’s a simultaneous process of losing fat + muscle gain
Guys stop asking me if weight training can be replaced by pilates/bodyweight/calisthenics etc..
Yes it can WITH 3X THE EFFORT AND TIME. If aesthetics is your goal, then heavy lifting is non negotiable.
If anyone says otherwise, they are lying to you
@blackberrysmoon So I mean from what I know lifting is supposed to actually help with hypermobility. But you need to make sure you are moving within the standard ROM, not your ROM. If you can get a trainer that will like help you out a lot. 2 birds with 1 stone for you :)
@prettyribbxn I would say supplement with walking it can help with the stocky appearance. And overall if you are sticking with deficit it will slim out anyways. Just stay on track
@chicangelx I would say look at the athletes’ body. Sprinting has amazingly fit people.
Long distance runners look a bit too weak for my liking but honestly if cross country work for you, keep at it!!
@00theresnothing Do you think it’s that easy to get muscular for women - all the VS models, influencers, and actresses lift. I don’t see them becoming bodybuilders :)
@Lucidreamming its effective but over a longer time horizon and involves many reps of pull ups, push ups etc. if your goal is aesthetics, use water bottles, bricks whatever you have. And then save up for weights, not that expensive
