There’s plenty of historical precedence showing that starvation and hard labor combined lead to leanness then an explosion of muscular growth once sufficient calories become present.
You can train and diet so super scientifically, or you can throw so much at yourself that your body has no choice but to become awesome.
At present I’m working, barely eating, and doing a good deal of volume in the evening.
I just throw more and more pushups at myself, mantra sets, and stacking up more and more ten pump burpees til the cows come home.
Sets are always 10+ reps, I’m doing 250-600 pushups every night.
Lean is guaranteed.
Between low calories and the daily workouts I’m seeing progress, my upper body more visibly muscular, and all the chins are putting on lat size.
However I don’t view this, what I do, as hard. I train cause I love it.
It’s natural to make more progress and become more invested in doing things right as you continue.
