@dylanboyle789 Start here, that wiki has everything you need. I read this as "I'm the type of person who would rather use not finding the perfect routine as an excuse to never start in the first place." Stop that. There are routines in that wiki, pick a beginner or bodyweight one and go. Do...

@joshualiley Not good. Not enough volume per muscle group. If you want a big, jacked physique, you need an optimized program. Why not try 5/3/1 Boring But Big or Building the Monolith? Can't do much better than those for building size.

@brett1677 Since you have a barbell and plates, no reason not to start with the basic beginner routine. Get some cardio in 2-3 days/week on the bike, treadmill or rower and you'll be on your way

@zulubwoy And the way to do that is to keep doing what you're doing. As long as you're still able to increase your training maxes per the program, you're building muscle. The fat loss will keep coming, it just doesn't happen as fast as anyone would want. But if you changed course now to focus...

@zulubwoy 23% bf is already a healthy weight. You're 6'3", 173 lbs. What do you think you have to show off once you cut down even slimmer? Just keep chipping away at it. Keep building the muscle, keep slowly losing fat. Fat loss slows, yes, but think of it like a roll of paper towels. With a new...

@louisphan This bodyweight routine includes both pull and push ups (among other things) and tells you how and when to progress each move.

@toddinsd Either Couch 2 5k or Hal Higdon are proven methods

@hartsfield Woof yeah I dunno man. I'm not familiar with the program you're following. If I had to guess though I'd say yeah, do all your sets in one workout.

@zulubwoy It only gets slower the leaner you get. The 40 came off pretty easy. The next 20 will be much harder. Getting into the low teens, bodyfat-wise, requires borderline unhealthy dedication levels.

@mosessaloe I CAN get one done in under 30 minutes if I'm hustling. Usually closer to 40 minutes.

@hartsfield I think you're misunderstanding the source material. This 5/3/1 primer should help clear up what you're meant to do

@zulubwoy You definitely need more protein, shoot for at least 160g/day if not more. Doesn't matter how you get it. That'll up your calories some, which is fine, you need them (if not even more). Keep doing what you're doing and things will sort themselves out. It's not a process you can really...

@xxjesusfreak1984xx This is just entirely too much working out. Why does a full body workout take you 90 minutes? Why are you doing 20 whole minutes of plyometrics and THEN swimming? Why are you doing any of this? If you are trying to exercise yourself skinny, this will fail.

@wrldrvltn When I lost weight a few years ago I followed the keto diet. A lot of people who do that fall under the (incorrect) impression that the diet requires that you eat *extra* fat, so they get creative about adding it. Not very helpful for weight loss but really handy if you need to add...

@wrldrvltn Fat doesn't make you fat, a combination of too many calories and refined carbs make you fat. If you want to grow, you gotta consume calories somehow. If you have a history of disordered eating my (non-expert) advice is to keep your changes small and slow.

@denise1961 With no equipment your best bet is this bodyweight routine

@wrldrvltn Fat is your friend; it's the most calorie-dense macronutrient. Make your protein shakes with heavy cream instead of milk or water. Blend butter into your coffee (surprisingly delicious). Buy the logs of fatty ground beef, which also happen to be the cheapest. As for the gym, later at...

@tef85 Just follow something from here. GZCLP, nSuns and most 5/3/1 templates work well for 3-4 days/week

@hogstar Yeah this is perfect for that. You can always add accessories if/when you have time or feel like it, but so many people on this sub would be so much better off just doing this than the goofy stuff they come up with instead.
