Hi everyone! As the title says I'm now starting to train and diet after a break, and I gotta say it's been harder than I expected. On the training side - I want to go back to the loads and volume I was doing before, but my movements are sluggish and I'm lacking the strength I had, which is natural of course, but what are some ways to get back to where I left off? Should I start with less but more intense sets to try and stimulate my strength back to where it was and increase the volume over time? On the diet side - I've rarely struggled to start a cut, and didn't have much trouble mantainging them either, but for some reason now I'm finding it incredibly hard. I'm a male, 24, 175 cm, at around 90KG at the moment, I was doing maintenance at 2300 calories when I was training and at around 86, so I wanted to start with that which would be a relatively small cut from where I am now, but for some reason, I did that for 2 weeks around 20 days ago and it was extremely hard. I was feeling hunger quite often no matter what I did. Any tips on all of this?

Hey everyone! After having launched this community for 7 months now, I've identified a very clear problem. 🤓 Despite having access to: - 8-minute workouts - Instrument-Specific - You can do at home - Beginner friendly - No fancy equipment ...most of you still couldn't stick to it, not even for 21 days, let alone in the long run. And that really got me thinking in the last month on how I could solve this! 🤔 Because let’s be honest: you’ve done the first workouts. But by the second week, life got in the way… and you stopped. Not because you didn’t care. Not because you’re lazy. But because you’re still seeing training and music practice as two separate things.
