    What’s your preferred warm up routine?

    @austinsugden Find a 10-15 full body mobility routine. It takes time, but well worth it to be doing consistently anyway. So why not do it as a warmup?

    41/M. I want to be able to play with and lift grandkids one day. I’m looking for suggestions on dumbbell only functional/compound training

    @bridgida No not really. Just started light (e.g. milk jugs) with low volume and worked my way up the weight and reps.

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

    How long does it take to get to body like this ?

    @anonymous316 …plus the right/appropriate expectation for goal physique. It’s unlikely OP’s (insert muscle group) is going to look exactly like that, even with optimal diet and training, as everyones’ musculature and anthropometrics is going to look a little different.
