Mine would be to take at least a couple weeks to count calories so you get a better idea of how much you’re eating. People tend to not eat enough when “eating healthy” and tend to eat too much when just going by what they want.

    My one essential exercise is to follow up a strong leg day with whatever muscle groups you want to work on most. Example: Day 1 I hit 4 sets of 5-8 reps of Squat, 4 sets Leg Press at highest weights I can do comfortably, some calf exercises, etc. Day 2 I hit some bench press, cable pulls, bicep curls, preacher curls. Your body produces more cortisol, testosterone and Human Growth Hormone in response to heavy leg exercise, so you should use that for the next day. You’ll notice some results for sure

      That’s interesting. I’ll keep that in mind because I usually do legs as the last day of my three day split before my rest day, I’ll try putting it at the front.

        Yea exactly, just try it out once or twice, if it feels weird or you like the old schedule, do your usual one, but it’s a nice tip that can speed up the fitness goals a tiny bit
