It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 8 years, since 13 Jun 2015 (via @twi_age).

Goal setting. Super important. Write them down. They’re just an idea until you actually take action.

No:
“I want to workout more”
“I want to start weight training”
“I want to eat better”

Yes:
-> I will workout M/T/Th/F
->I will weight train M/Th
->I will meal prep on Sunday

Day 30/75 hard.

-Pounded the alarm. Still here. Still working.

-No podcast this morning. Wanted to appreciate the stillness of the early AM. Had a lot of brainstorming & self reflection.

-Feels like I’m always consuming. Great break away from my phone.

3x- Better than 2
4x- Better than 3
5x- Slightly better than 4
6x- Not much additional benefit

Novices: 2x = great place to start

Seems like golden standard is 3-5x weekly

Professional bodybuilding? Different story…

Day 28/75 hard.

Great AM walk today. Lots of clarity and reflection.

Takeaways from Podder:

Muscle growth, specifically.

-It takes time. Lots of time. 6 mos to a year for several lbs of mass. Depends on lots of variables

-Frequency?
1x- Not effective
2x- Perfect start

Day 27/75 hard.

2/2 Rest day. Definitely needed. Recovery is super important.

Just tryna manage the stimulus to fatigue ratio 🫡

Meal prepped all morning. Getting ready to win the week. Can’t win the week without winning Sunday🏆🕺🏼

[Tyler String @tstringinthecut]

Another limitation with hard cardio is recovery. It isn’t very sustainable jogging every single day or doing HIIT on the stair climber.

Manage this stimulus to fatigue ratio.

Great alternatives:

1. Incline treadmill walking
2. Daily steps
3. Bicycling
4. Walking the dog

Had a conversation with a prospective client last night. Debunked quite a few myths for her:

1. Lifting low weight, high reps = toning
2. Lifting higher weight, low reps = bulky
3. “ I don’t wanna get too muscular/bulky”
4. “I do 30 min of hard cardio before every workout”

[Tyler String @tstringinthecut]

Hard cardio. Definitely a fan. Especially for overall cardiovascular health and function.

However, prior to an intense resistance training session we want to do 5-10 light warm-up. Get our BF. Light sweat.

Save the hard cardio for post workout. Waste of energy prior to weights

[Tyler String @tstringinthecut]

In the grand scheme, it is very hard to appear super muscular (naturally). Myself included. & I expressed that. Lifting consistently for the past 3-4 years & I’m nowhere near overly bulky when I’m not pumped.

We appear more “toned” by losing BF% and by increasing our FFM

Day 25/75 Hard. 1/3 way through.

This week was hard. Working a few doubles and doing coaching after work.

We still got it done. Looking forward to these next 2 active rest days. Loved the first week of the meso.

Was training before work this week. Liked the switch up!

[Tyler String @tstringinthecut]

Day 24/75 hard.

Great AM lift today. 2nd push day. Always nice working out with someone. (My father this morning)

Few tips I showed him:

-Scapular retraction
-Feet planted into ground
-Chest up and out
-Slow eccentric
-Full ROM - deep stretch @ most lengthened position

[Tyler String @tstringinthecut]

Day 23/75 hard.

Pretty crapy workout this morning. Wasn’t feeling it. Got it done though.

I love the morning time. Allows me to do something for myself. Gives me autonomy. Allows me to brainstorm different ideas for the business & my clients.

Highly recommend finding AM time!

Day 22/75 hard.

-Day 2 of the meso with the new #RPhypertrophy app. Absolutely loving the new program.

Feeling strong coming off of the deload last week. Pushing around 75% my 1RM at 3 RIR this week.

Keep pushing everyone! Happy Tuesday

[Tyler String @tstringinthecut]

Portion control. Sort of a misconception.

Sure, with calorie dense foods on a cheat day, you definitely want to limit the portion.

Aside from that, you want to generally consume HIGH volume meals. To keep you satiated until your next meal.

HIGH volume, HIGH protein, low cal

Day 21/75 hard. I repeated day 17x lol.

-First day of new meso. Felt fresh and intensity was high. Excited to utilize the new #RPhypertrophy app

-Outdoor workout coming later
-Post workout refuel going down

Day 19/75 hard.

Rest day 2/2. Meal prepped and got it done. Planning out the week.

Looking forward to getting back into the gym full tilt. New meso start tomorrow

Let’s grow.

-Stretch
-Foam roll
-Self massage
-Productivity (for me: content, reading, business tasks, meal prep, weekly planning etc.)

Day 18/75 hard.

Rest 1/2 day. Very needed. I start to feel exhausted when Friday comes around. Waking up early everyday & getting in 10 workouts a week. It gets taxing.

Tips for recovery:
-Eat nutritious whole foods
-Quality complex carbs
-Destress
-Sleep
-Light activity
