Today's post isn't really going to be anything new, but it's one of those
subjects that people need, apparently, constant reminding of when we're
talking about successful fat loss.
What am I talking about? Any
guesses?
I'm hoping it's obvious.
I'm talking about
dietary adherence; that is basic compliance to your nutritional plan. This
is and always will be the KEY to long-term, successful fat loss. I don't
care how hard you train, I don't care how many metabolic workouts you do,
or how much cardio you do, if you can't nail your diet week in and week
out, you're short changing yourself of results. You're working hard in the

Ok, so we've established answers to the following questions in the first three parts of this series so far: 1. Would I have to do a bulk? 2. How long would I bulk for?

By that I mean, I don't care how hard you're training, if you're not eating enough to support muscle growth, you're not going to be gaining size. Period.
