@godisworking101 I’m gassed after like 40 minutes of intense strength training. At three hours, you aren’t pushing anything with any sort of intensity that’ll produce the sort of adaptations you want out of weightlifting. It might barely even constitute as conditioning compared to similar...

@xene19 The importance of metabolism is overstated because it’s what people want to believe.

@bjpascoal Yes, it’s clear you don’t see the issue. I’m going to echo the above commenters: follow a program.

@bjpascoal You tried gvt a couple sessions at too light a weight and determined that all volume training is trash because the max you stopped directly pushing went down? You’re literally in here asking about knee pain while hitting 9 total reps a workout at a weight you shouldn’t be throwing around.

@bjpascoal Proper squat form can vary widely depending on your anatomy. I think you should drop the weight and go for volume with a slow eccentric into a pause at the bottom. Either pick a different squat variation or just try widening or narrowing your stance until you feel comfortable. If you...

@concernedcatholic Frequently posting keeps them relevant, which directs people to that valuable backlog. And the conversation itself keeps people invested in their training. I personally like incorporating new tidbits here and there that changes how I look at a certain exercises. The whole slow...

@abnerpublishing If you struggle with consistency and tend to procrastinate when you have the day to yourself, exercising in the morning is the best remedy. When I transitioned to regular working hours, that was the first change I made and I stuck with it.

@cici1234 Pick a beginner program and do it consistently for a year. Then lean out. That is a very average, generally fit physique.

@rnstaplesattnet I dunno, maybe try blending up some frozen fruit and ice cubes. Fruit is healthy so long as you aren’t just straining out the juice. If pulp is an issue, it’ll be unnoticeable in a slurry of ice crystals. Just count the calories

@mel101 I waffled for a while on what to buy and then just went with powerblocks and have really liked them. There’s some minor awkwardness issues with the frame and where the handle weight sits, but the trade offs are excellent. If you go that route, know that a lot of people dislike the base...

@reddragon4444 I think a very simple way to look at it is eat whatever you want so long as it’s within your macros and keeps you pooping normally

@dougnarg The balance is making more time for your husband at the expense of your morning routine. Pick a day during the week to stay up later and either don't workout in the morning or truncate it and spend more time together on the weekends. While exercise is something we have to build our...

@fjdajfkldajkbfejfnsiqn One, wall to floor is a big jump. That’s bodyweight’s cross to bear. Don’t feel down that you haven’t made the leap because just exercising consistently is progress. Second, I think you should take that motivation and apply it to another approach. You have a lot of...

@nikamelodia Injuries will persist without rest. The injury is recurring because of something you’re doing (or not doing), either in training or outside of it. This is worth a talk with a physical therapist, assuming you haven’t already.

@johnnyboy1998 Just a simple lean physique like professional strength and endurance athlete, david “200lbs of solid muscle at 6’1” goggins, nbd. Wouldn’t want to do a push up too many and accidentally get jacked

@nasa321 Your body will adapt to the stimulus that you subject it to. It has no reason to waste resources building muscle it doesn’t need, which is why we simulate the necessary environment to encourage growth. That’s what lifting heavy shit does. It’s a slow process even under optimal...

@cbsmel I think you’ve got too much variety for beginners. Even working within like movements, it assumes strength and endurance are the only two factors at play. Beginners are also more likely to skip days or sets, which would set them even further behind. Just don’t really understand the...

@booboo222 Everything feels amazing when you’re still in a relative grace period where the work is “easy” and you’re progressing every session and watching your muscles poke through your skin for the first time in a while or ever. Especially if you’ve putzed around on and off for a long time...

@viajesen1 I mean, it’s not hard to source Adderall, but I’m not popping those all the time either. Edit: and just because you specified, there’s nothing special about bioidentical compounds

@living4christ560 I would ask your doctor, but walking is where I’d start. Your body is going through some significant changes, so keeping intensity low will avoid the risk of injury. As you near your goal weight and acclimate your body to regular exercise, you can incorporate some jogging.
