You probably don't need more sets per day. You just need more intensity.

Doubling your training volume doesn't necessarily double your muscle building stimulus, but it could drastically increase your fatigue.

Let me explain...

Something I always say to friends, family, and clients is that there's a nonlinear dose response relationship between training volume and muscle growth.

In other words, more work doesn't always mean an equal return on your investment.

Every additional set increases fatigue, but each additional set generally provides less muscle building stimulus than the one before it.

This is called diminishing returns.

For example, imagine your first set provides 100% of the initial stimulus.

Your second set might give you 66% as much stimulus as the first set...

Your third set, 39%.

Your fourth, 23%.

And your fifth, just 16%.

These are obviously estimated percentages, not universal measurements, but they illustrate the point.

Doing 10 sets doesn't mean you're getting 10 times the stimulus of doing one.

Eventually, you're accumulating considerably more fatigue for progressively smaller returns.

Instead of adding sets, focus on making the sets you're already doing more productive. Train closer to failure. Occasionally incorporate drop sets or rest pause sets. Become more comfortable with being uncomfortable.

This is also why I'm not a big fan of traditional bodybuilding "bro splits," where someone crams an entire week's worth of training for one muscle group into a single workout.

Unless you're an advanced bodybuilder with exceptional recovery capacity, you're usually better off distributing that volume throughout the week.

Instead of doing 20 sets of chest on Monday, try doing six or seven sets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

You'll maintain better performance, manage fatigue more effectively, and give yourself more opportunities to train hard and recover.

Muscle doesn't grow because of how much punishment you can tolerate. It grows because you provide enough stimulus to force an adaptation and enough recovery to allow it.

More sets don't always mean more muscle.

The goal isn't to do as much work as possible. It's to get as much growth as possible from the work you do. Workouts are like alcohol, more isn't always better.

7 Simple Habits That Could Help Reverse Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes isn't necessarily a permanent, irreversible condition. Research shows that changes to your diet, physical activity, body weight, sleep, and daily habits can significantly improve blood sugar regulation. For some people, these changes can even put type 2 diabetes into remission, allowing them to maintain normal blood sugar levels without diabetes medication.

I can't reproduce the entire article word for word because it's copyrighted, but I can provide a detailed, easy-to-read summary of its contents.
The Seven Habits Explained
1. Improve your sleep. Getting approximately 7–9 hours of quality sleep helps regulate cortisol, improve insulin sensitivity, and maintain healthier blood sugar levels. Chronic sleep deprivation can increase insulin resistance.
2. Improve what and when you eat. Prioritize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and other minimally processed foods. Eating earlier in the day, avoiding late-night snacking, and maintaining a consistent overnight break from eating may improve glucose regulation.
3. Support your gut microbiome. Eating fiber-rich foods and fermented products such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut can support beneficial gut bacteria. A healthier gut microbiome may contribute to better metabolic health and insulin sensitivity.
4. Consider intermittent fasting. Fasting can help some people improve blood sugar control, particularly when it supports weight loss. The article also discusses fasting-mimicking diets, although evidence for their long-term effectiveness remains limited. People taking diabetes medications should consult their healthcare providers before fasting because of the risk of dangerously low blood sugar.
5. Exercise after meals and prioritize strength training. Physical activity encourages muscles to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. Even a 10–15-minute walk after eating can reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes. Resistance training also improves glucose regulation by increasing muscle mass and improving insulin sensitivity.
6. Manage chronic stress. Prolonged stress can increase cortisol and adrenaline, contributing to elevated blood sugar and insulin resistance. Improving stress management may support better glucose control.
7. Build a supportive environment. Family, friends, healthcare professionals, and supportive communities can help people maintain healthier habits. Early medical intervention is particularly important because remission becomes more difficult as diabetes progresses.
The Most Important Takeaway
Type 2 diabetes can sometimes be put into remission through lifestyle changes, particularly sustained weight loss, improved nutrition, and regular physical activity. Remission is not the same as a permanent cure, and not everyone will achieve it. However, even without remission, these habits can significantly improve metabolic health and reduce the risk of complications.

Its boring. You don't have to read all of it,.just this top chunk.....

The biological changes that lead to fat loss start wayyyyy before you can see them.

Research says that within SEVEN days of strength training, your body may ALREADY be adapting by improving the cellular pathways and metabolic mechanisms responsible for breaking down .and regulating fat.

Now this study was just done in mice, but the takeaway is important... Just because you aren't seeing results in the mirror or on the scale doesn't mean your body isn't already adapting to the work you're putting in!!!

Ok now read....

Strength Training Can Begin Changing Fat Cells in Just Seven Days
Source: ScienceAlert, October 12, 2026
Research: Published in Life Sciences
A new study from researchers at the University of Campinas in Brazil suggests that strength training can begin improving fat metabolism in as little as seven days, even before noticeable weight loss occurs.
Researchers studied obese mice to determine whether resistance training could change fat tissue independently of weight loss.
The mice performed seven strength-training sessions involving climbing a 70-centimeter staircase while carrying weights attached to their tails. Each session consisted of 20 climbs at approximately 70% of their maximum carrying capacity, with 60–90 seconds of rest between climbs.
After just one week, researchers observed several important changes.
1. Fat cells became smaller.
The trained mice had smaller fat cells and less visceral fat around their intestines compared with sedentary obese mice. Smaller fat cells are generally associated with healthier fat tissue and improved metabolic function.
2. Fat breakdown increased.
Researchers examined two proteins involved in fat metabolism: ABHD5 and ATGL.
ABHD5 helps activate the breakdown of stored triglycerides, while ATGL is an enzyme responsible for initiating that process.
The trained mice demonstrated healthier ABHD5 levels and increased interactions between these proteins, suggesting improved capacity to mobilize stored fat.
3. Fat production decreased.
Researchers also observed reduced activity of the Scd1 gene, which participates in fatty acid production and fat storage.
This suggests that resistance training may simultaneously influence pathways responsible for storing fat and breaking it down.
4. These changes occurred before significant weight loss.
Perhaps the most interesting finding was that these metabolic improvements occurred before the mice experienced measurable weight loss.
This suggests that resistance training can begin producing beneficial changes in fat tissue long before those improvements become apparent on the scale.
What Does This Mean for Humans?
The findings suggest that resistance training may improve metabolic health independently of weight loss.
However, this study was conducted in mice, not humans. Researchers still need to establish whether the same changes occur in people and how significant those changes might be over time.
The researchers also emphasized that combining resistance training with cardiovascular exercise remains a valuable strategy because both forms of exercise influence fat metabolism through overlapping and distinct biological pathways.
The Takeaway
The number on the scale doesn't tell the entire story.
Resistance training may begin improving the way the body regulates, stores, and breaks down fat before any noticeable reduction in body weight occurs.
Importantly, increased fat breakdown does not automatically mean sustained fat loss. Long-term reductions in body fat still depend on overall energy balance.
Nevertheless, the study reinforces an important principle: Exercise produces physiological benefits that aren't always immediately visible in the mirror or measurable on the scale.

Lost just shy of 5 lb since Monday and this is pretty much all I've eaten. Chicken and waffles for breakfast maybe a few tuna fish sandwiches or chicken and rice for lunch, and then chicken and potatoes with some spicy aioli and ketchup for dinner. It may be glamorous, but it works. Most people have difficulty losing 5 lb in a month because they try to do everything the hard way. Efficiency is about minimizing steps so don't work harder, work smarter.

I'm sorry my runner friends, I know you don't want to hear this, but no amount of running is ever going to give you the physique that you want, and it's barely going to do the job of burning fat if your diet isn't already on point.

Let me start by saying that cardio is incredibly important. Everyone should do it. Running, cycling, swimming, walking, really any form of aerobic exercise produce adaptations that are essential to your long term health.

Cardio improves your heart's efficiency, increases stroke volume (the amount of blood pumped per heartbeat), increases capillary production and density, improves mitochondrial function, increases aerobic endurance, improves oxygen delivery and utilization, lowers resting heart rate, improves insulin sensitivity, and can reduce blood pressure.

That's amazing.... But resistance training.can do all that s**t too...

These are much needed adaptations but here's the problem, thhey're primarily cardiovascular and metabolic adaptations, not the muscular adaptations responsible for building an impressive physique.

if muscles aren't your goal, you can stop reading now... but if they are... keep reading...

If your goal is to build bigger shoulders, a wider back, thicker legs, rounder glutes, or a more muscular and aesthetically pleasing body, running isn't going to accomplish that. Ever....

There's an old saying... Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

I think of cardio and resistance training the same way.

You can run five miles today and burn a few hundred calories. Great! But tomorrow, if you want to burn those same calories, you're gotta do it all over again. The primary calorie burning benefit of that run comes from the activity itself. In order to burn calories, you gotta run more.

Resistance training offers something different. It builds the machinery that burns calories on its own.

When you lift weights, you're stimulating muscular hypertrophy. Your building muscle. You're creating the adaptations that increase muscle size, strength, and ultimately change not just the shape of your body, but how it functions.

Muscle is metabolically active tissue. It needs A LOT of energy to maintain, even when you're sitting on the couch doing Jack s**t.

Now, don't misunderstand, A pound of muscle isn't burning hundreds of calories a day. The actual resting energy expenditure of muscle is relatively modest, approximately 6 calories per pound per day. But adding muscle can increase your resting energy requirements, and maintaining a larger, more muscular body generally comes with a higher total energy cost.

That's a cost you WANT!

Because the more energy your body expends, the more food you can potentially consume while maintaining your weight. And when you're trying to maintain a lean physique, having more calories available to work with is an advantage.

Of course, neither cardio nor weightlifting overrides the laws of thermodynamics. If you want to lose body fat, you still need a caloric deficit. And if you want to build muscle, you need an appropriate training stimulus, sufficient nutrition, and recovery.

Here's the. Point

Cardio improves the performance and health of the body you have.

Resistance training builds and reshapes the body you want.

Nutrition determines whether you gain or lose weight.

And combining all three is how you build a physique that doesn't just look good, but performs well and stays healthy.

Don't stop doing cardio.

Just don't expect it to accomplish something it was never really meant to.

Chicken and and french toast for breakfast again... Blah blah blah nobody cares.

An important point though... If you want to lose weight, you got to get good at eating, and if you want to get good at eating, you got to get good at math.

Eating as much food as you can while trying to maintain or even decrease your caloric intake is probably one of the most important parts of proper dieting.

Look at these pics and you'll know what I'm talking about...

My friend was asking me if she should eat protein pasta and I said, f**k no.

The problem with pasta is that even if it is considered a high protein pasta, it's still inherently pasta which means it's going to have a s**tload of calories versus the actual volume of food you're going to get.

Now compare that to potatoes!

If you look at the example here I've compared only 2 oz of this Protein Plus pasta to 7 and 1/4 oz of potatoes.

If you have 190 calories in your budget, what would you rather eat... 2 oz of food, or 7 1/4 oz of food... It's a big difference and the answer is obvious.

If you're trying to diet and cut calories, this is what you have to do. Experiment. Compare and contrast. Try new recipes. Try new combinations of food. Try new sauces, new cheeses, new breads. Play with your food as though you're creating your own menu because YOU ARE!

For years your parents told you not to play with your food. Don't listen to them. Listen to me.

Play with your food.
