@acer621 This is super helpful advice!

@contemplatingfarmer Compound movement meaning an exercise that works multiple muscles at once. You look fantastic btw! Great job

@markoj72 Yup, she does either upper or lower on one day. And she does the exercises on that day that she listed above. So: Week 1: Monday UA, Wednesday LA, Friday UB Week 2: Monday LB, Wednesday UA, Friday LA Week 2: Monday UB, Wednesday LB, Friday UA etc, etc.

@johnacola Understood, thanks so much!

@johnacola So just to make sure I’m understanding your split, you do: Monday UA, LA, UB; Wednesday LB, UA, LA; Friday (go back to monday) UA, LA, UB. Is this right?

@takkula Very good point! I love riding my bike for the same exact reason, also not sure why I torture myself while running.

@leon007 This could probably be an “ah-ha” moment for me too. I hate running because I’m always feeling like I’m out of breath/exhausted. I’ve read a few times on this subreddit to try running slower. I just need to get over that mindset hump of “I’m going to hate this”.

@dawn16 Ugh, yes this is a good one! I immediately thought of my sister who uses the smith machine for squats. She goes to PF, so it’s all she has and not her fault at all, but I would love to bring her to my gym and use the squat rack and barbell. Such a difference! If you have access to these...

@heyitszeus I love walking in my city too! I try to go for a few short walks throughout my work day and listen to different podcasts. Since I’ve been implementing this (on top of my lifting schedule) I easily hit more than 10K steps a day. It also helps my mental health too.

@lucywu2012 I’ve also seen people lower the smaller end of the bench and hip thrusts off the front of it, if that makes sense? Like instead of long ways on the bench, the end of it where you would usually be sitting with it upright if you were doing shoulder press or other upper body exercises.

@relliott28 Thanks for sharing. I struggle so so much with body image issues and not loving myself because of it. I may give this a shot.

@3rdday I was using 5 steppers on each side with the platform on top of it and lowered it to 3 on each side and it was instantly better!

Today while I was lifting, I had a “oh, duh!” moment and had to half roll my eyes at myself and half be thrilled that it finally clicked. I’ve been lifting consistently for ~8 years, but recently really started focusing on strengthening my glutes over the past year. Hip thrusts are obviously a...

@johnacola Wooooow, I am so impressed. I am basically your exact size: 110lbs and 5’2 and basically should follow exactly what you did. I need to take my shit seriously if I want to see these results. Even a small bite of ice cream or whatever your go to treat is makes a huge difference. You...

@wizaless Interesting! How tall are you?

@rc393 Agreed! Tons of my clothes are from ASOS petite and they have sales all the time, the clothes are mostly quality for what you’re paying, and they have a fantastic return policy!
