@purpleflower2 The only question worth answering is the last one; yes if you eat plenty and train intelligently you can get pretty big. You will never look like a Mr. Olympia winner even with their same juice stack so it's not worth thinking about

@guitardude93 Probably best described as an isometric chest fly. It's engaging the chest but I wouldn't say it's "working" anything.

@firofame No prob. Other thoughts as someone who's lost a lot of weight somewhat recently: Don't bother with "target" weights. We are (generally) fatter than we realize. You will not know where the first 10-15 lbs went. Don't rely on the scale alone; take measurements if you can and keep track...

@firofame I think you have the right idea, but you could probably go down to 1880 calories/day without feeling bad. Make the cuts from your carbs since your fat is already pretty low.

@bible4ang Everyone is. It's either been deleted or set to private

@larryicels Yeah (I only found this by searching for "r/fitness"). Really weird. I was a member but also got booted. Something must've happened.

@shroom Soreness is not important, if you're making progress that's what matters.

@chrisolys A 2.7 lb weight fluctuation is not significant and could be chalked up to differences in the scales or what you had to eat the day before. As for lifting, I'd imagine higher elevation could affect your strength and working capacity until you acclimate to it.

@environmentalman That's a study of 7 people. Common sense dictates that even if there is an effect, it clearly can't be enough to negate the benefits of combining high protein intake with weight training. Otherwise nobody would do it. It's not worth thinking too much about this stuff. Every...

@favouronum A lot of people enjoy Zombies, Run!

@stanmarsh Start with this. Eat more, at least 2000 calories/day, you are very underweight.

@nickblack I'm convinced several problems in this country would be solved if every man over the age of 50 was required by the government to get their testosterone levels checked and supplement with TRT if it's low. Especially stuff like this.

@justbadcode Everything from here has been created by qualified professionals and vetted for effectiveness by thousands and thousands of users. I really like GZCLP for someone who knows their way around the gym but wants to get more serious about their training.

@justbadcode What are your goals? If you're just someone who wants to stay healthy, active and gain/maintain some strength, this is fine. But if you have more ambitious goals (e.g., building a significant amount of muscle mass), there are much better, existing programs out there.

@aziluv5 That sounds right.

@katara So my best guess is that you're doing the moves in increasing intervals. Like, do 30 seconds of push ups, rest 30 seconds. Then do a minute of push ups, rest 30 seconds, and so on. I think. Don't be scared to ask. This is your body and your training we're taking about.

@happyfella0 Not sure of the utility of a PT that tells you your routine sucks but doesn't offer alternatives. Hell you can get that here for free. Here are some better routines.

@lm1955 A split is just an organizational tool. If it works for you, keep at it, though I would be concerned you have no deadlift/hip hinge movement at all. Hamstring curls are great but they aren't a substitute on their own

@sandrachenlau I feel that, I finally built out my garage gym because I got tired of commuting to my gym. And it was only 15 or so minutes away, mind you. Still didn't like making the little trek. It's tough, bc a barbell is very useful, but without a rack or stands you can only do so much with...

@sandrachenlau Personally, I would think long and hard about joining a gym before I committed all that money to an olympic barbell and plates to be used in such a tiny space. You have to have somewhere to store all of it, and maneuvering around just for simple things like swapping out plates is...
