@dottiec They're not mutually exclusive qualities

@luyandam I mean, it is pretty idiotic to speak on a topic when completely uneducated on said topic A non idiot would say "I don't have enough information to speak about it" or simply not speak

@ausilio It should take as long as it takes to complete the work prescribed by your program. Your question suggests you're not following a good program, if any In your shoes I would follow something from the link below https://thefitness.wiki/routines/strength-training-muscle-building/ And...

@dawn16 Ahh, good spot, I hadn't noticed

@jacksonjogu Generally both, many people tend to do different things at different times in order to get the benefits of all types of training In your shoes I would follow an actual program, that way you know that what you're doing will actually work, the link below has many...

@joyce65714 So a qualified person talking about the topic of their qualification has no relevance? Do you understand how dumb that point of view is? The fact is that there aren't studies for everything, and in fact there aren't actually that many useful studies in the fitness world, but what we...

@unname28 This is a bad idea, chat GPT tends to make poor programs and randomising it is silly because consistency and progression are critical to getting results, how can you guarantee progression if things change week to week? As the other commenter said, following a proven program is a...

@jerryfont It depends if I need the shake to get enough protein Your question could also be asked as "do you eat food with protein on days you don't work out", protein shakes are just a high protein food. Clearly you need to fuel your body every day, not just days you train

@anandmtech10 As others have said, read the wiki and pick a program With regards to cardio/conditioning (separate yet similar) do them on the non lifting days of whatever program you pick At your stage it isn't worth worrying about minor details, just focus on getting strong, someone with a...

@gilcimarlp It's perfectly fine to lift awkward things at weird angles, that's basically the entire sport of strongman As long as you use an appropriate starting weight and build up it's fine

@luckycharmz Probably not, it's just a list of exercises, there's no progression scheme or indication of how much to lift Following an actual program is likely to give better results over time, some dumbbell and kettlebell programs are below...

@randomelement I mean, even if they weren't eating "optimal" protein they'd still gain some muscle unless they were getting zero protein at all But again, that doesn't seem to be OP's focus so it doesn't matter

@louiscabrera Just follow an existing program that's proven to work, the link below has plenty https://thefitness.wiki/routines/strength-training-muscle-building/ This isn't really a program, there doesn't seem to be a prescription for number of sets, not every movement has a rep scheme, and...

@randomelement Whether or not someone becomes skinny fat is down to their training, you can eat doughnuts and cupcakes and gain muscle too but the only way to gain is to eat more But OP isn't asking about training, only about gaining weight

@shiwang90 Methods of measuring body fat aren't particularly reliable, you might have measured differently or it could simply be that you're a bit bloated, both of which would cause an incorrect measurement being bloated can make you "feel fat" without you actually having any extra mass Don't...

@dinneratsix Just do one hand at a time so you have a hand free

@brokenjohninchrist Haha, I'm glad you got something useful from my ramblings In case you're interested, there's also a Zercher deadlift, I'm in awe of this guy

@canadiangirl143 Why would someone screw their back up holding weights on a treadmill? It's the same as holding weights while walking on the ground

@brokenjohninchrist Front squats are definitely worth figuring out, they're an excellent lift, in case you can't tell I'm a squat fiend Awesome! As long as you recover properly and eat enough then in theory you should be able to progress on the program recommendations, sometimes it's good to be...
