Hello,
I'm wondering this out of curiosity: what happens to the extra calories you consume when in a surplus if you don't up the weight/reps each week or push yourself to your full potential in the gym?
Say you're eating 300 calories surplus each day and continue working at your current level whether it's 60bs or 250lbs and you never push past that weight or switch things up but continue eating 300 over.
with that situation in mind would training frequency affect where your calories go? (Doing the same workout 3 times a week vs 5 times.)
My guess is the surplus calories/energy wouldn't be used and stored as fat and even though you're working out, new muscles fibers aren't being recruited.
or maybe your body adapts and you'd end up just eating at maintenance? :L
