I see this all the time. People try for a few weeks to lose fat, the scale stalls for a week, they give up, and then maintain the narrative that they couldn't lose weight despite really trying. Don't get me wrong, I fully get that fat loss is simple but not easy. Eating less for multiple weeks can be quite the challenge, especially it you're somewhat in the dark as it pertains to what really matters. Countless hours of content on the latest fat loss hacks, special training programs, and supplements may lead the average person to think that they must be missing out on something.
The reality is that in most cases, it's either that...
1. You're not really in a calorie deficit. That could be because you're overeating daily, eg, by adding oil to food without factoring it in, or overeating on a few occasions during the week. 2. You're not really tracking your bodyweight daily to look at average changes over time. Instead, you're jumping on the scale whenever you remember and compare that single reading to last week, thinking you've gained weight, when in reality, you could be losing weight. 3. You expect fat loss to be a linear process. The scale will plateau for some days, or even a couple of weeks, at some point. This can happen even if you're in a big deficit. Don't panic and remind yourself that fat loss can still be happening even if the scale isn't changing.
Make sure that you're truly in a calorie deficit, stay the course, and you'll get there.
Alongside training for hypertrophy, I’ve been enjoying building my strength back up on some of the bigger lifts like squat/bench/deadlift/overhead pressing while being leaner than usual. Weighing around 95kg/210lbs atm. Being leaner helps me be fitter/more athletic/explosive for basketball.

FFMI is a great tool to see whether someone’s physique is *actually* impressive. It takes away lighting, muscle bellies, and bodyfat percentage to an extent. It has its limitations, but it can help you reality-check whether someone is actually muscular. If they have an FFMI of 18-19, probably not. Conversely, just because they have an FFMI of 24-25 or more doesn’t mean they can’t be natty!
If you couldn’t tell I’ve been editing my videos myself, this should let you know. More importantly: I WROTE A BOOK!
I’m super excited to announce that my first published book, The Deep Stretch Method, is officially available for pre-order.
The basics of building muscle have been understood for decades. But once in a while, science discovers something genuinely new and important.
The stretch is one of those discoveries.
After analysing more than 50 studies, the evidence suggests that training muscles at longer lengths can produce dramatically more growth than training them at shorter lengths, with some analyses suggesting differences of up to 4x.
So I wrote a book explaining the science, and more importantly, exactly how to apply it.
But The Deep Stretch Method goes far beyond just the stretch. It covers what I call the “new science of building muscle”, including the latest research on program design, nutrition, supplements, health, and complete training programs for every experience level.
Pre-order now at deepstretchmethod.com.
If you pre-order soon, you’ll also lock in the lowest price the book will be available for.
Thank you so much for the support. I’ve put a huge amount into this and I genuinely can’t wait for you guys to read it.
Been enjoying training recently. I’ve been training with more of a powerbuilding-style, and playing recreational basketball on a team at the same time. A training style you enjoy more will often deliver better results, since you’ll put more effort in!

It's understandable that someone's physique or title can make it easier to trust that they know what they're talking about, but ultimately, it's the evidence behind their reasoning that should determine how you judge their knowledge.
