    I cant lift more than 10 kilos in bicep curls. It’s been like this for 8 months

    @vincentleo Sleep more, schedule it in. Forget bi curls for awhile. Focus on compound movements (press, pull, squat,deadlift). Get on a proven program. While it doesn’t generally matter much which routine you follow, it’s still important that you do follow a structured routine. It’s always...

    When did the machine start breaking down and how did you power through?

    @grace_mercy At 40 a few years ago, coming out of the pandemic, I found myself obese, inflexible, in a bad mental health state, and hardly sleeping at all. Now I'm 43. This week I deadlifted, benched, and squatted like I did in my 20s. My mobility has returned. I'm relatively lean (about where...

    Why don't men hire health coaches as much as women?

    @rbr He wrote, "people pay for organization, not information." You're arguing that people pay for "organized information." If that's what he meant, that makes sense. Average Joe absolutely is paying for information, IMO.

    Risk v reward

    @ttcmacro Mid-forties guy here who got back into lifting a few years ago. I squat and deadlift. It's fun and makes me strong. But I really focus on mobility and technique. Even a slight "twinge" and I cut back or stop. Focus on learning your body and listening to it. If you want/need to...

    How do you choose your supplement brand?

    @conner Yeah, if you haven't read the fitness wiki yet, I'd recommend spending all the time you were spending watching influencers and focusing on reading and rereading the fitness wiki. To be honest , it answers the vast majority of questions posted here.

    How do you choose your supplement brand?

    @conner Fitness is kind of a three-legged stool. With one leg being training, one leg being diet, and one leg being rest / recovery. I feel like the vast majority of people need to focus on these three things and not to worry so much about supplements. With that said, if you got the above three...

    Why don't men hire health coaches as much as women?

    @gm0nkx I mean, tbh, as a middle aged guy who learned to lift off T-Nation back when, my general impression is that most health and fitness coaches are crap. So sure, "I know what I'm doing!" But also, "They got no idea what they're doing..." My 2 cents

    Would love to hear some feedback for my routine!

    @nldctonc While it doesn’t generally matter much which routine you follow, it’s still important that you do follow a structured routine. It’s always better to defer to existing, proven routines that came from experienced professionals than it is to try to reinvent the wheel – at best you’ll come...
