@elizabethwilliams Kung naka deficit ka naman calorie-wise, hindi ka naman mag ga-gain ng weight, even if umiinom ka ng whey, kasi food lang din naman yun. Tapos, if ever mag decide ka mag gain ng weight (by being in a calorie surplus), hindi ka naman magiging muscular in the same way as a guy...

@extrinsic Yup, no need to complicate what’s working so far. If it’s working, it’s working. Deadlifts mostly hit the legs (hamstrings, glutes, etc) but also tax your core and back, so you could insert them into your leg day (or back). That said, if your goal is purely hypertrophy, you can...

@extrinsic The guys in your references are all packing serious muscle, that’s for sure. Honestly, you’d probably benefit from any conventional routine built around the major compound lifts (SBD, etc) as long as you stick with it consistently and get proper nutrition, rest. I can’t see your...

@aramar Maybe that’s a good thing? I feel like adherence to one’s gym routine should be generally consistent but not too strict. I try to shoot for at least thrice a week but sometimes life happens and I can only do one or two and that’s fine. Best tip I have is to get some barebones fitness...

@aramar Can’t skip gym or I start getting anxious. Yup. Probably not a good thing.

@mikerb Sure, pick up an endurance sport, like running, and keep at it. Seriously, my daily calorie allowance has ballooned ever since I took running seriously and it’s been a convenient weight management tool for me. When I was purely doing weights/calisthenics, I could probably maintain on...

@anfo1989 My man, never mind the looks, do it for your health, best reason there is! You’ve already got the ball rolling exercise wise, now you could also do the same for your nutrition. It need not be a drastic change, it can be as small as eating more lean protein or a little less rice at...

@jwroe No, supplements are entirely optional. They are literally used to supplement your diet to reach your calories/macro goals, which you can definitely hit through eating regular food. Not true. Three days is fine but you should look up how much volume (sets x reps per muscle group) you need...

@jam737 You don’t have to buy their specific shoe recs. You just need to know if you’re prone to significant overpronation/supination or (if you’re lucky) largely neutral. You can then easily find the right pair of shoes based on that.

@layla17293 Haha ignore those motherfuckers. Obvious naman from his/her statement na completely ignorant siya sa fitness. Not to mention, iba iba goals ng mga tao sa gym so you can't really assume. Nag pro-project lang yan ng insecurities since (I'm willing to bet) hindi siya nag wo-work out...

@jessica88 Madaming tao nagsisimula sa zero. I started with zero pull ups. Progression lang yun until you can do a decent rep and then continue self-learning and improving your form.

@jessica88 Pull up bar. One of the single best things to have at home. Works your back, biceps and core.

@craigbrickhill Spot on. Daming tao na stu-stuck sa pag worry sa coaching expenses at kung ano ano pang details. Pwede naman mag start na agad independently and improve gradually through practice and self-learning.

@cparker Seems like you’re thinking about it the wrong way. Your diet should be relatively consistent through out the whole week irrespective of your active/gym days. As mentioned, your body will still be recovering and rebuilding even on rest days which are arguably when a large part of...

@beloved_prophet It’s super fun! The coaches there are really nice so don’t be afraid to go solo if you feel like it. You’ll also meet lots of good people there (groups usually) who’d gladly let you tag along with them if you’re new. The first few times, the coaches can guide you through their...

@kenadi Yeah, this is a great suggestion OP as well as obstacle-course races in general. Relatively easy for beginners but can be increasingly challenging the more competitive you want it to be. Also has a great community behind it with people at all levels of competition. Check out Obstacle...
