@lovemachine Perhaps pop a sign round your neck saying not to disturb you, that you'd rather mess your back up for the rest of your life. That way, people can not direct you to the nearest A&E either.
@lovemachine Yeah, super rude telling someone how to do something properly, thus, avoiding injury and limiting gains. Especially as he was nice whilst doing it. I mean, the nerve of the man.
@mcl123 I aim for 170g of protein a day. Honestly, I probably only hit that 3 or 4 times a week. If you eat enough, and try and eat as healthy as you can, you'll do alright. As said before, don't overthink it. Eat and train, you'll grow.
@frances20 You still have the whey in protein powders. I find that gives me terrible wind, more than milk itself. It's a shame most of the vegan powders take vile and are hideously expensive. I'll live with the wind!
@cflowers87 Op is only replying to the comments about them being lazy. Not any with helpful advice. They're not prepared to work for it and will just come up with more excuses.
@faithonly Scale it down. No need to be in the gym for more than an hour. Maybe a bit longer if you throw in a bit of cardio. Follow a good plan. My preference is a push/pull/leg/rest/push/pull/rest but that's on the individual. Biceps and chest shouldn't be on the same day. You're overloading...
@faithonly Too much intensity for a start. What's your diet like? Are your weights progressing? What else are you doing in the gym? If that's 3 times a week, I'd presume not a lot.
@pronobis The 3 days you get your 10k steps in is, effectively, a rest day. Maybe slow down on the treadmill steps for a bit, kee up the strength training as that will help aid weightloss and toning. You'll get to a point where weightloss does stall, try not to concern yourself with the scales...
@jewels77 I do 1 leg day a week and, twice a week, add on a couple of leg exercises at the end of my routine. You may hate a leg day, but I do feel having 1 wholevsessiin dedicated to them would help. You may even grow to enjoy it when you start noticing gains!
@henyo All of this! With grip, I use my 4 fingers as a hook essentially. Completely taking my thumbs out of the equation and not wrapping my fingers around. Try not to throw your body around as well. Slow movements under control.
@grasshopper66 Eat more. You want to grow, you eat.
More volume doesn't mean more gains in muscle building. Make sure your training plan is on point.
Lastly, hire a good bodybuilding coach.
@summertt5 This right here. The big muscles, skin head and tattoos are almost always hiding a good bloke who is more than happy to help you out. They were new to the gym once as well.
You'll be good man!
@kirthika We all get caught up in doing this when we start. Anyone who says they haven't is a liar or very lucky to have excellent guidance from the start. As I said, places like YouTube have created it to be more difficult than it actually is so they can sell their guidance for £150 a month...
@kirthika 4 to 6 exercises, 2 to 4 sets, 8 to 20 reps (20 being maximum for only 1 or 2 exercises per week) 90 to 120 seconds between sets of rest, not lugging weights about REST.
@kirthika You're spending half the time swapping your weights around. 2 hours is too much. You should be in there for 1 hour tops. Simplify your plan out, write it back up, put it back on here. Stick to one weight for the set not this many reps at this weight, then this weight for this many...
