...and your body fighting back because its working under the design that calories are still very difficult to get on a regular basis. So its not going to use the precious calories you give it to build all kinds of calorie consuming muscle and bone mass unless you show it is necessary or that you'd eventually die without it the muscle.
Muscles are incredibly inefficient.
That's why people that work 12 hour days doing manual labor were "skinny strong".instead of jacked.
To get huge muscles, we need to trick our bodies into thinking we randomly have to move heavy weights every once and a while.
Part of that is slowly increasing the weight so they muscle rebuilds even bigger otherwise it would just stay the same. If you stop, your body stops wasting the energy for those huge muscles and they get smaller.
You are what you do. Your body will adjust to what your regular physical activity happens to be, combined with what you choose to feed it.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
