@djtom111 Can you guarantee at least 3 days a week of training? The idea that you have an unpredictable schedule and you still went for a PPL split suggests you don’t know as much as you think. A full body A/B split is my usual go-to for an unpredictable schedule. You won’t necessarily get all...

@sanman08 The recommended routine from r/bodyweightfitness might be what you’re looking for. Especially good if you have access to gymnastics rings. For gaining weight, you don’t have to go crazy. An increase of 1-2% in your weekly average weight per month is ideal. That means no more than a...

@britanyashton It’s going to depend on you as an individual. For some people having their own space and equipment made convenient makes them more likely to train regularly and hard. For others they prefer the variety and quality of a public gym environment and equipment. Start with what you have...

@angelbaby35 Those classes are entirely up to the discretion of the person running them. There is not a huge amount of guidance. Try a couple more by a few different members of staff before giving up. Struggling with core strength is a very common issue for women in your age bracket in...

@benforthelord If you’re a beginner then I seriously doubt you have any need to skew your training so hard towards any perceived weaknesses. A simple upper/lower split is fine. Or a full body A/B split every other day will also work very well. Have a look for something with some good...

@staceyy This looks ok. Leg day is missing a hinge movement if you want to be complete. I’d probably cut the last couple of exercises on the upper day in favour of a simple skull crusher/curl super set or drop set for the sake of saving some time. I’d also have a look at some programmes on...

@dcaple If you’re happy to use barbells and not much else, then try the fitness wiki beginner routine, or stronglifts 5x5. You can also try looking on boostcamp or lift vault for various free routines.

@narrowisthepath In your situation I would try and get access to a barbell. You can definitely make progress without one, but it simplifies things a lot. You could do 5/3/1 with dumbbells, but you’ll fairly quickly outgrow 50lbs for staple exercises like bench and even goblet squats. The...

@wolfmedic Look for a general training routine that has been proven to work and has good reviews. Places to look are: the fitness wiki boostcamp (app on android too) lift vault or look for an app preloaded with stronglifts 5x5 (it’s on boostcamp too) You can replace some of the pulling work...

@loneranger Start here. Click through until you find a routine you like. The r/fitness beginner routine probably makes the most sense for you. Once you’ve read up how to do the routine, and under what conditions to move onto an intermediate routine, follow the instructions and run it all the...

@narrowisthepath It looks like you have an issue with your training unrelated to your programming. I’d have expected better results in some of these categories even with inconsistent training. Given your goals I would personally steer towards straight strength training, combined with some time...

@elw80 Sounds like you pushed a little too hard too soon. Might not get all the way better but it should at least improve in a few days. I’ve had deadlift sessions I could still feel a full week afterwards, but the pain lessens well before then. I’m assuming that this is in fact just soreness...

@zanyteen16 Use any free pre-written programme online. Boostcamp, liftvault.com , and thefitnesswiki all have good ones on there. Doesn’t really matter which one. Just pick one with the right number of training days, and that says beginner on it. make sure you read the information and set up...

@zanyteen16 If you are paying even a small amount of attention to your diet and are using an intelligent programme, written by somebody who knows what they’re doing your genetics won’t be relevant.

@marvin54 This video explains it nicely for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

@elizabeth63 If I was you I’d have a look for a programme on Boostcamp or lift vault. That’s not to say don’t write something for yourself in the future. But I think it’s worth learning what other people do and what works well to make sure you know what your options are before trying yourself...

@jayisscott The recommended routine from r/bodyweightfitness might be a good place to look. This video explains it nicely.

@femooh If you want some proven routines with reviews have a look at Boostcamp and lift vault. It’s better in your position to learn how to train and let someone else sort the programming. If you have basic questions about training then the fitness wiki is a brilliant resource.

@femooh It’s mostly to cut down on time. A normal training session lasting 1-1.5hr might have 10-20 working sets depending on what you’re doing (17-20 sets is a very long session and not too common). Based on this, it’s just not feasible to only ever do 2 sets of an exercise. You can see good...

@thethao247h If you’re concerned about your Bodyweight then the only way to know for sure is to measure your Bodyweight over an extended period of time, and see whether the weekly average changes. Trying to do it by calculation is not feasible because every number you get is an estimate based...
