    Slowly add more calories back in. 100-150 more a week. Idk if that answers your question?

    Does it work If I eat 300 calories more a week?

    Honestly that should work fine. I was understating it, anything in the range of 100-500 calories/week is fine. Can’t really imagine any significant body fat % increase by this. If your maintenance calories were that low to where 300 calories is significant then I’d taper it down. Otherwise fine 👍

    I was hitting that 275 bench for 10 with ease tbh. Shoulder pain mostly gone. I just need to get consistent, haven’t worked out really in 2 weeks now. Bulked you’re to 215 after being down all the way to 189 at a point during quarantine

    I used to do this when I was younger and had more stamina or whatever but not all at once

    Had a pull up bar w 5 different grip positions so I would 10 pull ups using one grip, then do 20-30 push ups, then do another 10 pull ups using a diff grip, then do 20-30 push ups, etc.. x10

    I’m doing something similar now since I don’t got any weights but i can barely do half the amount now prolly cause I’m old as s*** + haven’t worked out in two years lol

    just been doing 5-10 pull ups, 10-20 push ups, then 8-10 squats w 20lb dumbbells lol (it’s all I have at home) then repeat for 15-20 min

    Then I just use the only resistance band I have to do extra full body workout till I’m tired

    Usually done within 30-45min tho
