In this context we call this progressive overload.” “It is absolutely not required to train that hard to maintain progress.” “Our body functions best when it's pushed to adapt, [...] the optimal state is adaptation.” “It doesn’t actually matter how much you lifted or what speed you achieved, but the intent to go as fast as possible will lead to greater adaptations than lack of intent.” “You store your carbohydrates in the muscle tissue. You don’t store much fat in the actual muscle tissue.” “We lose a very minimal amount of fat through our urine, some through our feces, [...] the overall majority is coming out of your breath.” “I can be burning more fat, but that doesn’t mean that I’m losing more fat.” “At all times you are actually going through protein synthesis, so you’re making new proteins right now.” Follow Andy Galpin: Website: https://www.andygalpin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drandygalpin/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrAndyGalpin YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe3R2e3zYxWwIhMKV36Qhkw
