137. I Hit a PLATEAU & Here's What Actually Worked | Body Recomposition Week 5 (Deload + Recovery)

This episode is for you if you want to build muscle, get stronger, enjoy cocktails + Greek food without bingeing afterwards, and finally stop the all-or-nothing cycle.   In this episode I’m kicking off a brand new strength block after two months of hypertrophy, taking a proper deload week, testing my 3RM (hip thrust, deadlift, bench press), and sharing exactly how I’m staying in a performance phase while on a family staycation in our Maroochydore AirBNB apartment.   What you’ll discover:- Why more training is NOT better & how periodized deloads transformed my body- How I eat out guilt-free: Greek lunch, Aperol spritz, ice cream – no saving calories, no overeating- Why “saving calories” for dinner always backfired into massive binges (story included)- Easy high-protein chicken salad sandwich hack when your routine is chaos- How testing strength every 3 months is the REAL measure of progress New episodes every week – subscribe so you don’t miss the next one on overcoming emotional eating! 💪   OR watch the video for the full visual scoop!  https://youtu.be/yRgLwjgYQwU   Follow me on IG - https://www.instagram.com/fitandfreeacademy Follow me on TT - https://www.tiktok.com/@fitandfreeacademy   P.S.
