Deloading has merits, ime. It has helped immensely with hitting PR's after plateauing. I deloaded for 1 week before starting a new cycle and have hit PR's in all my lifts the past 2 weeks.
new to the thread since i just started a weight loss prop bet (actually is part of a prop bet involving poker also)....
that Sol guy took a lot of heat for basically saying something that almost everyone universally acknowledges nowadays... that a focus on weight loss isn't really the best metric for health. sure, it is correlative with many diseases and improved quality of life.. but it isn't the BEST or most efficient options to track/correlate. sounded like he could have come off a bit less douchy in his approach, but the fact of what he was saying was accurate and i got the impression that his heart was in the right place.
I agree that a lifestyle approach is a more effective and ultimately better solution for overall health. But his approach and post was one of many in a long history of condescension.
I ate all items on the McDonalds menu in a day once when I was advertising them in the 90s.
Couldn't do it now given the proliferation of options but in those days there were five main burgers plus the snack burgers and four main breakfast items. We had to do one of each drink as well and it was the milk shakes that hurt the most and I remember the veggie burger being disgusting
We met at 7 and ate every three hours, while walking around London visiting stores. Was a load of fun. We got it all done by 7 then started drinking and went for a late night curry for the lols
Would be fair to say that my guts weren't in great shape for a few days after
