yeah, deload week. tho i have been in a deficit for a prolonged period of time, so now may be time to increase cals. could still be a slight deficit, but not as large

If you hit a plateau, try taking a two-week break from intense training, focusing on light cardio instead. Consider incorporating a nofap practice during this period as well.

also i don’t believe no fap touch. i’ve done when i was on large deficit since i had no libido, did nothing. maybe wasn’t the right way to do since i had 0 urges.
