Anyone ever try 5/3/1 for a long period of time without program ADD?

So when you notice you're not losing any weight for about 3 weeks, while cutting, should I drop calories some or up my cardio some more? I prefer eating pizza then not, but am willing to do either one.

depends on what your caloric intake is to begin with but yes, diet is more important than exercise.

Tbh, it depends on what you want. If you have high standards like me (I was 10% bf before summer cutting and at 7,5% now bulking), you'll always keep diet and cardio in check. However, if you're one of those average guys who think 12% bf is good, then just do cardio, or eat rationally clean. You won't look like a fitness model either way though unless you go 100% strict on diet, cardio and diet.

Who here is on IF and what times do you eat?

I am.

5PM till 1AM usually. Sometimes 2PM to 10PM if I'm training earlier the next day.

do you do 2 a days ever?

Say I wanted to do 1 PM to 8 PM, but wanted to get up and run in the morning then lift later in the evening? Is more detrimental to me to do cardio on an empty stomach, then stay empty for like 5 hours?

[i$e]

I don't alter it ever. 16 hours fasted, 8 hours fed, repeat. I'd never train completely fasted (..BCAA's before lifting) but now I just hit a meal and train a few hours later. As for cardio I always did it after lifting so I can't really comment.

I use to hate legs days and now I look forward to every workout.

Legs are a bitch. I always procrastinate when it comes to them, good thing I have naturally big legs.
