Had a guy finger me and said ' The safety word is banana . Not at all cute . <| sep |> watched the same one man those feels indeed '<| sep |> That ' s pretty misleading . In that case the side who lost the war and was under occupation won allegedly . Pretty different than what we ' re discussing now . <| sep |> You say you can ' t put muscle on because you ' re erging and you can ' t start to lift because of poor recovery . Recovery is largely dependent on diet and sleep so just start eating more . You absolutely can grow with lifting while maintaining your aerobic work . You may want to do some research on your body ' s caloric requirements and expenditure to determine how many calories you need per day to fuel both erging and lifting . But yeah in short , start lifting and eat more .
