@mturling BCAA don't do much. For multivitamins, other than ashwagandha, which is neither a vitamin nor a mineral, pretty much any multivitamin out there would work? I go with Solgar, but there are a dozen decent brands.

@ms7dc It spent more time on nutrition than physical movement. (As someone said above, you cannot outrun a bad diet.)

@ms7dc Did you, uh, follow that campaign? The last 20% was "and move more", but the first 80% was not that. ;-)

@maxmanroe See, I thought you were gonna be a bench press, then opened the video. Then I thought you were going for a squat, and was like "eh, that's not heavy". Then you did not go for a squat, I stand corrected, and lead on good sir, lead on.

@gibsonian I realized at some point I have a choice, which is "drink today or workout tomorrow", and it's really "if I drink one, I'm less than half as likely to make it to the gym". I don't love the choice, but it's the choice I have.

@scott2511 What's your bodyfat percentage, if you have a rough idea? If that was 10-15%, you'd be pretty damn muscular at 212, and that'd be weird to have T that low... but you'd already be muscular, so I'm not sure what you'd hope for there. If you're >20%, the T is low because you're...

@ms7dc "Does it satiate you" That's not what drinkable calories do.

@mel101 What kind of workouts do you do, and how heavy is the most you'd want to load? Some are faster to adjust, some are less stable if you shake them sideways, some are pricier, but knowing what you're looking to do with them would help answer this.

@nasa321 How much protein do you eat, and why F45?

@ms7dc No one loses much fat doing cardio. No one loses almost any fat lifting a barbell. You should still do those, but not to lose fat. You lose fat in the kitchen. Or by staying outta the kitchen. I've got four fast rules, because they work, and most Americans... don't do this by...

@honeysuckledreams You lose weight in the kitchen, by eating too few total calories for your body to weight as much. You gain muscle by doing things that are progressively tougher, and eating enough protein. Things like "terrible sleep" and "a six pack of beer" slow down both.

@tomatheist You lose fat by being in a caloric deficit. Protein is needed to build and retain muscle. Eat the same amount of protein but reduce total calories.

@blondie977 Three quarter, because I already hit close grip neutral on a horizontal pull.

@decibyte Without trying the gym first, signing up for life altering surgery feels a bad choice. Search for 'glute girls', and yes, pretty much anyone can look good in yoga pants by putting in the work.

@daughteroftheonetrueking Your bulking diet looks fine; it seems like not a ton of protein, but you're 140lbs give or take, so this looks reasonable to me. I would add more % protein during the cut, to see if I could keep more gains. I would look at a periodized program for the lifts that...

@youngwolf Your weight can be +/- 5% due to retained water, and being at the low end of that is dehydration and bad. If you work out, you also gain muscle, ideally, which is good weight to add; start tracking bodyfat and not pounds to avoid that one. Other than that, it is possible that 1700...

@erniedavid Someone with 300 followers on YouTube saying something different than everyone else has ever ever said, uh, seriously, just no.

@journeytolife77 How much rest are you taking between sets? Are you eating enough calories before your workout? Are you in generally good enough shape? (Could you slowly jog a mile?) Having squats and deadlifts in the same workout is also, well, exhausting; consider splitting those up...

@groov3ydud3 How heavy are you going on weights now, or "what would you define as heavy?" On my end, I got to fixed numbers I'm happy with on the major lifts (squat, deadlift, bench, row, overhead press, etc)... and I stop trying to add weight to the bar. I alternate between cardio and...
