@joshgale123 Eccentrics are definitely key in my experience. I had a client recently go from three dodgy chin-ups (palms in/easier) to six solid pull-ups (palms out/harder) in the space of a few weeks, purely through training the eccentric portion of the movement and then adding weight and...

@warriorinchrist14 You need to invest in literally nothing to lose weight. You might want to consider a gym membership of some basic equipment for home if you want to work out. You might also want to consider investing in a PT for a few sessions if you're a total newbie. You don't need pre...

@anna_a Not applicable.

@marsha445 It's better than the old day job, that's for sure. I find i have surprisingly little time to fit in my own training, but i never really get fed up of being at work (with the exception of the odd evening) when i'm working with clients. My partner and I run a fitness business which...

@hogmaw It's a nuanced question - or rather a question with a nuanced answer. The short answer is yes, you can build muscle in a calorie deficit. As a beginner you certainly can. The more experienced you are, the harder it becomes to do that. With regards to protein, it's essential for...

@drewman It's not "better". It's neither better or worse. It entirely depends on your goals, your preferences, and your current abilities. I'm a PT. Most of my new clients want the same general thing when they first approach me - a better body than they currently have. That's subjective, of...

@sparklepaws23 Discipline eats motivation for breakfast. What even is motivation? Do you think it's going to just appear one day and from that day on you'll never miss a gym session again? It doesn't work like that, you'll be waiting forever. You need discipline, not motivation. Set your...

@pronobis Never mind a day, take a week off. It'll have next to zero effect on your gains (in fact it'll most likely be hugely beneficial). At the very least, take a deload week. This should be planned into your program every roughly 6-10 weeks anyway (though this will vary depending on the...

@teofan Well that doesn't add up at all. You're calculations are way off somewhere.

@bobmurray That's a ridiculous amount of time, no two ways about it.

@fernandosn Are these sessions built around progressive overload? If not (and I suspect not, as most fitness classes aren't) then you're wasting your time. I mean sure, you'll burn some calories, but you're not moving in any particular direction if there is no element of progressive...

@jrminoh419 This is 100% a calorie issue. Simply put, you're eating too much. Now that's that's a tactless way of putting it, but it's the nuts and bolts of the issue. The only way to achieve what you're trying to achieve is by putting yourself in a calorie deficit - ie, eating fewer calories...
