I can't figure out how much to eat.

Option A: eat less.

Option B: eat more and use the improved recovery capacity to train more.

Why you always struggling with something main.

You just eat the food.
Lift the weight hard.
And do your breathing.

On sauce you could prob get away with just the breathing

Most of my training is cardio rather than lifting now.

Nice man. Train some vertical and dunk

This is tangenting away from the thread but vertical can't be trained.

A person can take their squat from say 135 to 495.

But if your vertical is say 20 inches, you can 2-3 inches to it at most. The exception is if you're fat as fuk and lose a bunch of weight, but that's not really adding, that's just removing the handicap.

Somebody said that if you are watching calories, just simplify it by weighing your food and multiply it by 2 to find a general estimate of calories. This is assuming it's a mix of proteins, carbs, and fats.

Not true. That gay kneesovertoes guy on YouTube got his vertical from 22" to 39".

I've gotten at least 4 or 5 inch improvement with just a little focus on jumping. I would think I could have pushed it a little further with actual dedicated training and effort. I would think

Measuring vertical is full of frauding and stupidity. But if he did it on a digital pad for both the before and after and if it wasn't something extreme like from obese to not or from detrained/untrained to trained, then sure, I have no problem being wrong if he did all that.

Your overall weight and leg muscles matter, but the way to increase vertical leap is....... jump more. Functional training is key. In my BB playing days, it was jumping whenever I could. Practices distance, height, technique, etc. Being able to have mid forearm at rim level being just over 6' tall took lots of practice. Jumping is like heavy lifts, part is the strength increase, but a lot is just training the body to encompass all the parts of the body working together cohesively.

I wanna say eat more but I've been eating to the point where I'm in pain and still not gaining weight. Might be over for me.

[buwbs]

Eat more and train more

But also fast more

Clears the toxins buildup yet still gives you the calories when required pre/post lifting

I don't think you understand. My body is rejecting all food at that point. 10 years ago I bloatmaxxed on fastfood up to 238lbs. That's the weight I am now and it seems nothing I do will let me pass that.

[GuineaDago585]

A caloric deficit makes me feel like chit. Unless you’re a fat ass, I don’t believe anyone should eat below maintenance srs.

I believe it. I can't talk. I've never been that heavy. Same height I think. My body wants to keep me small
