Coming back from injury time off
So I was cleared to come back to the gym with no restrictions after a hospital stay. Coming back from extended time off where I’m definitely a little weaker, what is the best way for me to build back to where I was and to keep building strength? I am planning on lean bulking.
Coming off a year and a half diet.
Hey guys, I’ve been on a weight loss journey the past few years and I am nearing the point of where I wanted to get to. I’ve lost 124 lbs so far and have about 20 lbs left. I was wondering if keeping the current aggressiveness, or taper off and prolong it. Personally, I would rather keep the pace, as I feel fine in the diet constraints, but I wanted to know if there were any advantage to tapering off as I get close.

Thank you guys for the giveaway and for all that you do! What are your thoughts on a “maingain” type of approach? I’ve seen people talking about this as sort of a diet break, eating at maintenance calories but trying to build strength and muscle. For context it feels like I’m stuck between the fork in the road. Currently I’m 6’4 253, not sure how reliable but my scale says I’m about 17.4 % body fat. I’ve gotten as lean as 237 (I was running a lot more) and as heavy as 294 (no running lol mostly just heavy lifting, not lean but strong). I’m fine with the scale being between 240-260, but want to focus on my body composition while still being able to workout with a lot of intensity. Any thoughts on the best direction to go? I like trying to balance your programs with an additional crossfit or hiit type of workout during my day. (Currently it works best for my schedule to split my workout into two smaller sessions per day. Steps per day range from 10k-15k. 10k is my minimum goal) Thanks guys!
