    Good, cheap protein on Amazon and a heart rate monitor that actually works and doesn’t cost $500?

    @ms7dc Dont EVER buy ANYTHING from Amazon that is put into or onto your body. Amazon has a huge problem with counterfeit products in its market place. The problem is they dont always buy direct from manufacturers. They often have to buy from 3rd party distributors who in turn are responsible for...

    Frustrated over being very fat.

    @ms7dc Exercise is for building muscles, diet is for losing weight.

    Possible to be in good cardio shape but very fat?

    @ms7dc Just because you have good bpm and can do cardio, doesnt mean your body isnt struggling. Your body is just adapting, but adapting still means its working harder than it should. Id be willing to bet your blood pressure is very high while doing cardio. The fact is fat people have a lot more...

    The only people who say, "It's all downhill after X" are those who were already going downhill the decade before

    @prestonmcghee Yeah the whole metabolism thing is such a cop out excuse. The metabolic system that took billions of years to evolve into what it is today is a highly tuned chemical process. Nearly every persons metabolism or the rate at which we convert ATP energy into heat is nearly identical...

    The only people who say, "It's all downhill after X" are those who were already going downhill the decade before

    @prestonmcghee Yup, for the vast majority of people being out of shape/obese, its a choice. Its a choice to eat poorly, its a choice to sit around all day, its a choice not to exercise. Getting older doesnt have to hurt, depressing or stuck. You are the sum of every single choice you make in life.

    Drawing up a 3 day full body routine for myself, would appreciate suggestions

    @godisworking101 Listen to your body first and foremost. I do full body 3x a week with 4 sets per exercise and more exercises than you. I do my compound lifts and big lifts to failure, everything else is like 90% effort per set. Ive been making great gains so far being a newbie to lifting. Im on...

    Program tweaks: Any Suggestions please.

    @iqoretyby I dont know what your goals are, you are doing a lot of volume which is good for endurance building. If you are looking for strength id would increase your weights and lower your volume.

    No weight loss with weight lifting

    @galnaros If you arent losing weight, you arent eating at a deficit.

    Hit 2 plates and am confused as where to obtain my gym bro membership card, help?

    @sharkbait13 interesting, yeah ive been playing with wide and narrow grips for a few months now trying to figure out the shoulder pain. If I rest for 4-5 days it goes away and if i stay around 155-175lbs i dont have it at all. But then as soon as I start pushing it where I can get like 3-4 reps...

    Hit 2 plates and am confused as where to obtain my gym bro membership card, help?

    @sharkbait13 Nice, ive stalled right now around 185-195lbs and its driving me nuts. For a while I was adding about 5lbs a month, but I seem to have hit a plateau around 185-195. I did do 2 sets of 3x185lbs on monday but it wrecked my shoulders. Goal is 2 plates by end of summer.
