Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely-Chapter 406 - - Caleb’s Physique
Just like that, four days passed. They reached the fountain after running and stopping at some safe areas in the forest from time to time they were exhausted.
As they walked through the forest, Mic couldn’t help but marvel at Caleb’s impressive physique. "Adam, your physique is incredible," she remarked, her eyes tracing the contours of his muscular frame. "Your lats, striations, and boulder-like shoulders... they’re so defined."
Caleb chuckled modestly, acknowledging the compliment. "Thanks, Mic. It’s all about consistency and discipline."

Curious, Mic leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued. "So, what’s your secret? How do you maintain such an impressive physique?"
Caleb smiled, realizing that Mic was genuinely interested in learning from him. "Well, it’s a combination of factors," he began, adjusting the strap of his backpack as they continued their trek. "First and foremost, it’s all about nutrition."
He paused, emphasizing the importance of dietary habits. "I make sure to consume enough protein every day, aiming for around 150 grams. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, so it’s crucial to prioritize it in your diet."
Mic nodded attentively, absorbing Caleb’s words. "And what about training?" she inquired, eager to learn more.
Caleb’s expression brightened as he delved into the topic. "Training is key," he explained. "I follow a push-pull-leg split routine, focusing on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups. This allows me to target different muscle groups effectively while also allowing for adequate recovery time."
He gestured animatedly, illustrating the different aspects of his workout routine. "Consistency is key, Mic. I make sure to stick to my training schedule, pushing myself to improve each session while also listening to my body and giving it the rest it needs."
Mic listened intently, impressed by Caleb’s dedication to his fitness regimen. "And what about rest?" she asked, recognizing the importance of recovery in the muscle-building process.
Caleb nodded in agreement. "Rest is just as important as training and nutrition," he affirmed. "I prioritize sleep, aiming for around 7-9 hours per night to allow my body to recover and repair itself. It’s during sleep that our muscles grow and repair, so it’s crucial to get enough rest."
As they walked through the forest, Mic’s curiosity about fitness continued to grow, prompting her to ask Caleb about the intricate details behind their training and nutrition regimen.
Caleb smiled, pleased to share his knowledge with her. "Sure, Mic. Let me break it down for you," he began, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "Firstly, let’s talk about genetics and muscle insertions."
He gestured animatedly as he explained, "Genetics play a significant role in determining our muscle-building potential. Some people are genetically predisposed to build muscle more easily than others, thanks to factors like muscle fiber composition and muscle insertions."
Mic listened intently, absorbing Caleb’s words as he continued. "Muscle insertions refer to the point where a muscle attaches to bone. Optimal muscle insertions can contribute to better muscle development and aesthetics, while less favorable insertions may require more strategic training."
"Interesting," Mic remarked, nodding in understanding. "And what about the role of protein and carbs in muscle growth?"
Caleb nodded, acknowledging her question. "Protein is often referred to as the building blocks of muscle," he explained. "It provides the essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and growth. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are the body’s primary source of energy during workouts, providing fuel for intense training sessions."
He emphasized the importance of balance in their diet. "By ensuring an adequate intake of both protein and carbs, we can support muscle growth while also fueling our workouts effectively."
Mic nodded thoughtfully, processing Caleb’s explanation. "And what about tracking macros?" she asked, curious about the practical aspects of their nutrition plan.
Caleb smiled, reaching into his pocket to retrieve his phone. "Tracking macros involves monitoring your daily intake of macronutrients—protein, carbs, and fats—to ensure you’re meeting your nutritional needs," he explained, opening a tracking app on his phone to demonstrate.
"By tracking macros, we can ensure we’re getting enough of each nutrient to support our fitness goals, whether it’s muscle gain, fat loss, or maintenance," he continued, scrolling through the app to show Mic how it worked.
Finally, Caleb touched upon the concept of achieving a lean physique. "A lean bulk involves gradually increasing your calorie intake to support muscle growth while minimizing fat gain," he elaborated. "It requires careful monitoring of macros and consistent training to ensure you’re building muscle while staying relatively lean."
Caleb leaned against a nearby tree, ready to delve into the intricacies of caloric intake and expenditure with Mic.
"Alright, Mic, let’s talk about the role of calories," Caleb began, adopting a thoughtful expression. "Calories serve as the energy currency of the body, fueling everything from basic bodily functions to intense physical activity."
Mic nodded, signaling her understanding as Caleb continued. "The key concept here is the ’calories in versus calories out’ method," he explained. "This simply means that to maintain weight, the number of calories you consume should roughly equal the number of calories your body burns through daily activities and metabolism."
He emphasized the importance of balance in calorie intake. "When your calorie intake exceeds your calorie expenditure, you’re in a calorie surplus, which can lead to weight gain," he elaborated. "Conversely, when your calorie intake is lower than your calorie expenditure, you’re in a calorie deficit, which can result in weight loss." Stay tuned with novelbuddy
Mic listened intently, absorbing Caleb’s words as he delved deeper into the science behind calorie balance. "The science behind this lies in the principles of thermodynamics," he continued. "When you consume more calories than your body needs, the excess energy is stored as fat. Conversely, when you consume fewer calories than your body requires, it taps into stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss."
He gestured to emphasize his point. "It’s all about finding the right balance between calorie intake and expenditure to achieve your desired goals," he concluded. "Whether it’s maintaining, gaining, or losing weight, understanding the role of calories is essential for effective and sustainable progress."
Mic nodded in understanding, impressed by Caleb’s clear explanation of such a complex topic. "So, it’s not just about counting calories, but also understanding how they impact our bodies," she summarized, reflecting on Caleb’s insights.
Caleb smiled, pleased with her grasp of the concept. "Exactly," he affirmed. "By understanding the science behind calories, we can make informed decisions about our nutrition and achieve our fitness goals more effectively."
As they continued their conversation, Caleb .
Mic nodded in appreciation, impressed by Caleb’s depth of knowledge on the subject. "Thanks for explaining, Caleb," she said sincerely. "I feel like I’ve learned a lot today."
Caleb grinned, pleased to have been able to share his passion for fitness with Mic. "Anytime, Mic. I’m always here to help," he replied warmly.
