    Dr. Mike on male/female training differences

    @billbennet Again, I’ll just reiterate that these are averages and there is a ton of overlap in the distributions. Part of moving from the beginner to intermediate stage is figuring out what works for you, and choosing programs/tweaking programs appropriately. Some women will need one less...

    starting out a 4-ish month plan to get fit, let me know what you think of it!

    @earthbear Strongly suggest following a full body routine from the fitness or xxfitness wiki. The idea of doing a period of maintenance, followed by a deficit, followed by maintenance is fine. Though 3 weeks is not enough time to build an appreciable amount of muscle at maintenance (you will...
