@99balloons Rather looks like something for cardio/weight loss/endurance?

@janika11 Getting tired at 10, sometimes yes, sometimes no, it rather depends on the time I woke up in the last couple of days. I reach muscular fatigue and failure, maybe not training long enough/not enough exercises though.

@rhonda500 I feel a bit stronger yes, but would have expected more in all that time

@qurious4christ Lot of cardio? I thought it was fairly modest, I used to run so much more. As for progression, I do progress but maybe not quick enough, especially because the app often tells to do like 22 reps - which I can edit of course. I do always reach muscular failure though.

@harko This might be it yes, just learned that my app tracks speed and strength of exercises. Speed is very high, strength/force is quite low. It's true I may be rushing things yes, often feel like in a hurry.

@harko Sorry, second language here, I may have misused words. -2,5 km run to the gym -some quick warming up once there (around 12 one-shot bodyweight exercises)... -Block 1: 1 or 2 combined exercises. Start with, for instance, Dumbbell Bent Over Reverse Flies, 12 reps, then Lying Reverse...

@jefferson818 Since I used to workout before and once got bigger without tracking that, I thought I still wouldn't need to track. As for eating I think I have a very, very average/common appetite.

@heidiii Wow, thanks a lot! Lots to experiment, change and try out. Yes I do have some trouble getting more solid food like beef, in part why I don't eat this meat anymore. Unfortunately I have a dairy allergy but I do drink the soy milk that has the most proteins. I'll try the pre workout...

@jesusismyhero11 Hmmmm yes indeed T. Thought this could be the sessions are too short, not sure what else.

@samyeru I did suspect that (cardio or lift) but always found conflicting information. I run because I love the mental benefit of it (much better mood in my case). Should be worth a try. It's true that I wasn't doing cardio when successfully weight-lifting at 20, maybe just 15 min on a thread...

@onewholovesgod Never until just earlier this week yes, took my first ones and so I'll compare later

@rj71 The issue might be the amount or relative quantity of proteins compared to carbs fats etc. Or the calories. I'm some sort of half-vegan. I have some (mild) allergies. To dairy for sure, eggs suspected too. Don't like beef. Not a fan of seafood, except tuna. So it's tofu, chicken, pork...

@onlyone2012 I do find the health benefits important indeed, especially on the mood and just better general shape. Not taking anything.

@dawn16 Thanks for sharing!

@dawn16 My doctor made me blood and urine test earlier this year, like for testosterone, never heard back, I assumed this meant I have nothing abnormal. Dexa scans seemed to require a medical referral, at least in my province... There are tests in gym too but aren't Dexa but do give you BMI and...

@jimmykiff 5 feet 9 or 5 feet 10, not sure but one of those two.

@jimmykiff Definitely not benching 80 kg yet, I think I topped at 55-60 kg, but doing only dumbbells lately... Gym is small and packed and so it can be a long before a bench press becomes available. Definitely not squatting at 120 kg either, maybe 72 kg. Strict pressing, hmmm 35 or 40 kg tops...

@mommajulesberry Outside workouts, never have been particularly strong physically, more generally. Definitely a little weakness in my genes (thin, no gym class hero). I do believe anyone can get stronger but some start much lower, like me. I do feel better in shape generally now than when I was...

@olenak Hmmmm certainly better but maybe not much. The thing is the app gives you series of like 22 reps, but I thought for muscular gain its better to decrease the reps and increase the weights? Like 8-12 reps max. I think progress was better with that.

@olenak The app I use increase the weights and/or repetitions overtime, although not super fast, I regularly adjust by extra-increasing weights/reps, always aiming for muscular fatigue. Gotta say when I was 20 yo working out, that time I was tracking with a pen and paper, but now I just...
