    “Mom’s food.” x 5 times a day

    @keepy Whatever a basic novice program tells you, which is likely 3-4x week. If you aren't super overweight and in need of losing weight you can probably just eat whatever looks healthy and like it has a dece amount of protein in it and you'll be just fine. Will more than likely average out, if...

    Split your sets V.S. Doing them all at once

    @scargirl i actually really like the idea of giant sets, you hit the nail on the head. i agree, being able to dissipate more fatigue on the muscle level will probably lead to being able to get better motor unit recruitment/mechanical tension which seems to drive more growth. except: - it...

    Is this workout plan missing something or should something be changed?

    @jeanq001 i like it. looks solid. could possibly start with sets of 4-6 on the chest press or 8-12 incline dumbbell press but you dont need a ton of volume if your technique is locked in and you are pushing close to failure

    I’m a dental assistant who’s also studying and it’s so exhausting; but I really want to establish a workout routine plus healthy eating

    @jonathonmercil /r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine. i would start with something like just the strength portion of this routine if you don't have gym access/time and just split it up whenever you have time. if your phone says you are getting more than like 6-7k steps from work every...

    Is it me or is this program really hard for beginners?

    Gym for 1.5 years, no results. What am I doing wrong?

    @truth76 im talking about gym lifts, eg. are you squatting or rowing as much weight as you did when you were 20 and if not its probably a good goal to surpass those levels to gain more muscle mass

    Body Recomposition

    @jellybeab recomposition means building muscle while eating roughly around maintenance because that is logically how you lose bodyfat without becoming a significantly smaller person. building muscle is best achieved through progressively overloading the exercises that you do for whichever...

    is fast metabolism really a myth?

    @walkaway https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6471929/ this could explain some of it: - in very sedentary populations energy intake (presumably dictated by natural appetite) seems to be dysregulated compared to expenditure aka accidentally putting people in a surplus - in...

    @zbehr are there specific ranges of motion that you would like to be able to access (eg static stretching) or that you would like to produce force in (eg load the muscles in a stretched or novel position imitating said range of motion). do you have specific goals to improve your physique...

    Is hanging from a wall as good as pull ups or at least enough to prepare your shoulders for pull ups?

    @iiell_spinder_1 good catch. confused the bottom of a pullup with a dead hang. not a biomechanics expert so i guess you probably know a thing or two

    is fast metabolism really a myth?

    @rumiakthar https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11310775/ it looks like a mechanism that accounts for a lot of individual variation is NEAT which pretty much encompasses how much you unconsciously fidget etc in these sort of studies, some people spontaneously/reflexively...
