    What’s your preferred warm up routine?

    @austinsugden The best warmup for anything is to do that thing at lower intensity. If you’re starting with bench press, do a nice slow set of 10 reps with half of your working weight. Do this again when you change muscle groups.

    48M kind of disappointed in 2-years' gym progress. Maybe I need some help

    @nowhereman Lifting heavy and lifting for muscle growth are totally different goals. Which one is more important it you? If you want size, then training somewhere in the range of 8-15 reps depending on the exercise and really going to failure is what you need to be doing. Training lower rep sets...

    48M kind of disappointed in 2-years' gym progress. Maybe I need some help

    @nowhereman Are you mostly training for strength or hypertrophy? If you’re not training to grow (hypertrophy) then you aren’t going to see dramatic musculature changes unless you’re super lean.

    What do you guys do for drinks

    Regression in pushups

    Workout taking too long

    @blsdmomof4 If you’re working out this hard I’d recommend getting in to tracking calories in general, as that will help in the long run. Pre-workout meal should be at least an hour before you train, if not 90-120min depending on what you eat. Post-workout meal doesn’t have to be immediately...

    Working out with babies requires sacrifice from the entire family

    @hopeisalive I have a mate dealing with exactly this with a newishborn kid, it seems brutal! Great effort to still make the time to dedicate to making yourself fitter and stronger for you, or even better, for the people in your life! Think of the difference it will make for your kid to have...

    Says here that the farmer’s carry is a full-body workout. Can I just do farmer’s carries every day?

    @dinneratsix No one exercise is going to train your whole body proportionately, or even actually train your full body at all. Farmers carry uses very little chest, lats and triceps compared to traps, biceps, forearms, legs and core. Sorry to spoil your day but if you want a balanced body you...

    Took a Dexa Scan before resuming gym [M35 / 96 Kgs / 6'1 ft - 30% body fat, overweight]

    @yeshuabride Stress induced insomnia and eating disorders/body dysmorphia aren’t as far apart as you think they are, and both can be exacerbated by additional fixation/focus. Stop talking about mental issues/disorders if you’re not an expert.
