And I also think there's something to be said about it teaches you that you also need to kind of modify other parts of your life. And there's probably going to be times in your life, right? Unless you're an anomaly or like Sal or you never miss that you just fall off a training and you're not doing it consistently. Yeah.
And so long as you learn to modify your eating and maybe your activity level, i.e. walking, doing physical labor, other things, then there's not this massive swing. Sure, I might lose a little bit of muscle. I might put on a tiny bit of body fat, but it won't be a major swing. I can take a whole month, two months off, come right back. As soon as you get right back, that muscle comes right back on.

where we are so consistent dialed in do no diet and then you and then an injury happens or you fall off the wagon for a month and then you eat like shit you don't move you don't and then you have this crazy weight gain it's like actually if you just tweak a few things you're injured you're not you're not uh training as hard you're not moving as much okay i better scale back the calories a little bit hey you know what now i'll probably just go for some walks

since I can't really push the weights right now and, and, and do that. And then what you'll see is like, you don't have these crazy swings up or down and, and the body is crazy how quickly it gets back to right where you were before. It's hard to reach new PRS and new levels, but to get back to where you were is really easy.

Yeah, I think that's โ I'm glad you pointed out that you're going to gain weight. I mean, that's part of this process. You're eating more. You're taking in more carbs. You're probably taking in more sodium. You're probably taking in more water.

All those things result in your body having more water, more glycogen inside it, and then it's going to just โ it's going to reflect a little bit on the scale. All I'm looking for is massive swings or consistently adding weight, adding weight, adding weight, adding weight. If I even see you adding a pound every week on the scale, I'm still not that worried. A pound, you know, every week.

So in four weeks, we've only put four pounds on. Not a big deal. But if I see four pounds in the first week and then I see another two pounds, okay, we're probably moving too fast, right? Like we got to scale back. But being comfortable, when you're reverse dieting, you have to learn to be comfortable with putting a little bit of weight on.
