    What’s your favorite physical activity?

    @g3ntl3w4rri0r I’ve been lifting for over 20yrs and that’s definitely my favorite. I was a college swimmer so that will always have a special place in my heart but I usually only get a chance to do it in the summer. I’m a runner but that’s a love/hate relationship, lol.

    When are glute band exercises no longer useful?

    @ledgekay I’d rather not know than get my info from him, personally, but I’ve seen Henry Cavill using bands so I’d say they’re helpful. I don’t really use them myself, I focus more on heavy lifts with progressive overload.

    Am I just wasting time by lifting?

    @hovis “diet is lacking in ways” “binge eating” You’re absolutely not wasting time lifting, if you’re overloading like you mention in another comment. If you want to see changes in your body composition, you’ll need to tighten up your diet.

    When are glute band exercises no longer useful?

    @ledgekay I have this comment saved so I can copy/paste where necessary. Let’s not advertise for that asshole. For anyone who doesn’t know, Bret Contreras is a dirt bag trash human. Don’t give him social follows, don’t buy anything from him, etc etc. Info in the FAQ here or you can Google it...

    Running plan for 8.5mile run?

    @keepitsimple144 You might have a little better luck asking in r/xxrunning. I’m a runner but I’m terrible with tweaking programs. I use Higdon for my plans but have to run 4x a week or I can’t handle adding mileage and I get hurt. Good luck and I’m so sorry for your loss.

    Seeking reassurance and inspiration: how long did it take you to get to your pre-baby weight?

    @bluestarsky I got back down in maybe 10 months? I only gained about 25lbs. I’m pretty dense and was heavier to begin with. I had a hard time with breastfeeding at first so I didn’t want to fuck around with a deficit. I didn’t really work out too much but I remember I ran a half marathon was my...

    Finally got dumbbells and…

    @kaylarose3 I’ve been lifting off and on for 20+ years and I’m just now doing reps with 30lbs, which is like 14kg? I hate being American, lol.

    How do you handle eating out or social settings when trying to lose?

    @eyezup Fine. But that’s weird. I couldn’t care less what my friends are ordering, unless I want to try it. But I’m also someone who doesn’t give two shits if someone comments on what I’m ordering.

    How do you handle eating out or social settings when trying to lose?

    @medjugorje What kind of friends notice or make comments about ordering healthier or skipping alcohol? That is so weird to me but then again I’m 40 and all my friends are 35 and up. Don’t tell people anything, just shrug and say “I’m ordering what I want.”

    How Long Are Your Lifting Sessions?

    @gotquestion I take 2min rest between every single set. 2-3min is the recommendation.

    Eating more protein when you don't like protein

    @curiouseeker My husband is like that but I don’t even notice them. You try and make me drink a regular pop though and I’d rather be waterboarded😆

    How Long Are Your Lifting Sessions?

    @gotquestion I also do a 4x upper lower split and if I’m rushing myself and only taking 90sec rest, I can sometimes finish in around 35min. I do 5-6 exercises per day. I honestly can’t even comprehend how you get though 3-4 sets (I only always do 3 sets of 7-10) of all of these in 15-20min, it...

    Eating more protein when you don't like protein

    @curiouseeker Probably? That’s not something I pay attention to, in all honesty.

    Fitness advice for 5'2" female feeling stagnant

    @jessica50332 You are absolutely not “bulky,” coming from someone who loves and strives for bulk.

    How do you pump yourself up to go hard?

    @angel33babygirl I have a shirt that says “stronger thighs” in the style of the Stranger Things logo, which of course I wear on leg days, lol. (It’s from Dr.Susie.Squats on instagram, btw.)
