This sounds fantastic! I'm game! and I did not press snooze (though the bump in my belly wanted me to ha)
Is “Overtraining” Just an Excuse for Under-Recovering?
People throw the term around—but are most actually overtraining, or just neglecting sleep, nutrition, and recovery? Poll Options: ✅ Yes—most people aren’t overtraining, they’re under-recovering. ✅ No—true overtraining is real and dangerous. ✅ Depends—volume, stress, and recovery habits all matter. ✅ It’s an overused buzzword—we need to stop babying effort. ✅ I’ve experienced burnout... whatever you call it. 💬 Drop a comment: Have you ever felt overtrained—or were you just under-recovered?

I've experienced burnout and under-recovery and watched one of my best friends go through them as well. One of the issues I discovered about myself is my anxiety which coincides with my ADHD. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have always wondered if anxiety is a motivating factor for driving us to burnout, like we feel we just have to go, go, go with all of our momentum. I got to the point where I needed back surgery, which was a blessing in disguise because only then did I learn how to slow down and recover.

I had a migraine yesterday, thankfully a minor one, but I listened to my body and rested. I did an AMRAP workout just now and I'll do another workout with my partner later to make up for yesterday.
Is Lifting Heavy Actually Necessary to Build an Impressive Physique?
Some swear by barbells and big numbers. Others say you can get jacked with bodyweight, dumbbells, and volume alone. So what’s the truth? Poll Options: ✅ Yes—progressive overload with heavy lifts is non-negotiable. ✅ No—volume, time under tension, and consistency matter more. ✅ Depends on the individual and training phase. ✅ I’ve built more size with machines than free weights. ✅ I’m still figuring out what works best for me. 💬 Drop a comment: What’s given you the most noticeable results?

I tend to build muscle very quickly and can lean out (mesomorph). That said, it also depends on my goals and phases of training. More endurance and quickness: I will not bulk up as much, but I'll still be strong and have a nice, lean physique. More strength and power: I will bulk up with the heavier weights and low reps, still very lean ( obviously).
Is “Clean Eating” Overrated?
Some say it’s essential. Others argue it's a vague buzzword that creates guilt, obsession, or unnecessary restrictions. So what's the real value of eating “clean”? Poll Options: ✅ Clean eating changed my life—it's the foundation. ✅ It’s helpful, but I still track macros and enjoy treats. ✅ Overrated—it’s just diet culture in disguise. ✅ There’s no definition—“clean” means different things to everyone. ✅ I used to stress over it—now I focus on balance and performance. 💬 Drop a comment: Has “clean eating” helped or hurt your journey?

This was a tough question for me. I used to obsess over clean eating and when I ate and it got unhealthy. When I was diagnosed with ADHD I found the Feingold diet and it really helped me eliminate and minimize foods that would exacerbate my symptoms. Like Stephanie, I eat foods that have been minimally processed and those that don't make my mind go nutty. Also, life is too short not to try new things - hello Tiramisu 😋 so I plan ahead and eat very well on the days I need to perform and then have a little treat when I am not working 😉
