The concept of a cheat day is nothing new and is very simple, it’s a given day within a period of clean eating or dieting where you allow yourself a re-feed day where you eat whatever you want.
STOP: They Are More Likely To Kill Your Progress Than Aid It!
Theories Behind Cheat Days:
1) eating lot’s of food can help boost your metabolism, counteracting it’s slowing from calorie restriction
2) It aids motivation and a mental boost as you get to eat the foods that you like
What Happens When Most People Have A Cheat Day
So, you’ve been really good Monday-Friday and hit your cumulative calorie target regardless of whether it’s for weight loss or maintenance, at this rate you’ll finish your week on target, however you heard that you should have a cheat day for the reasons above (or others).
So, on Saturday you go crazy and consume double your daily allowance of calories. If you are very good you’ll then be able to return to your normal target for Sunday, however even with only 1 cheat day you’re now over your target for the entire week meaning that if you haven’t gained weight you definitely didn’t lose any.
What You Should Be Doing:

M2MC is the communication between the brain and the muscles.
Developing effective signalling has a range of benefits & will enhance your performance and progress.
Effective training often means leaving your ego at the door and literally lifting with your brain…
Here we look at what it is and how to do it…
How long are your working muscles actually working for?
Are you getting the most from your reps?
For decades body builders have maximised their time under tension for a very good reason.
Here we have a look at what time under tension is and compare 2 examples..Increasing your TUT will help you to increase the time efficiency & effectiveness of your workout..
Have you ever found yourself in a gym with limited equipment?
We can get comfortable in our routine using the same machines & set ups..this isn’t great for progress but also can leave you a little lost when they’re not available.
We’ve put together this leg workout that uses nothing but a barbell & the accompanying plates.
We’ve programmed it using higher (slow) rep ranges to produce a pump (metabolic overload), however you could change this to lower rep, higher weight range for the Squats & Deadlifts for a strength focused outcome.

Hey Guys, Want Boulder Shoulders?
