I often see people burning out because they’re constantly on an intense shred or an intense bulk. There is one very important aspect of these training cycles that seems to get forgotten - MAINTENANCE.
At the end of the day having an intense chunk of time for a specific goal is ok as long as it is limited. If you find yourself yo-yo-ing because you’re aiming for an unsustainable lifestyle this is more damaging than just being realistic and sticking to your maintenance or giving yourself a longer time to reach this goal.
Do yourself a favour and take the pressure off. Stop yoyo-ing between shredding and bulking and in the end reaching neither goal.
Remember that you won’t spend the whole 12 months of a year on a goal-focussed plan. Some of those months need to be maintenance-only to give your body and mind time to rest, reset and just be.
Not sure if you’re over-doing it or focusing on the right thing? 🤔 DM for help.
