@jessiengerman Have you tried to reduce training days in order to decrease your overall calorie burning? You can get any result you want on 4 days a week. Are you resting properly? Because resting is literally the most important part of it all - if you don't get proper sleep and allow your body...

@mcl123 Well, lets say something is always better than nothing. As long as you can get in the calories it should be fine.

@mcl123 Relax, if you try your best, that is almost certainly good enough! :)

@rumiakthar To answer your question in your title, it is not a myth. Our metabolism can change through countless factors like diet, sleep, drugs, age, genetics, physical activity, stress, body composition, sexual intercourse and probably many more. What is absolute bollocks is people saying...

@peachysteph I just wanna tell you that it is great what you are doing. The best way is to do it yourself IMO and you will notice when things are off and need to be changed. Just stay open to adjusting your routine. Personally, I just went back to 4 to 5 days of training per week instead of 6+...

@angelbaby35 You can lose without moving your body for the entire duration too. Its all about diet.

@melindap A couple of weeks ago I came to a conclusion after 18 months of going to the gym for at least 6 days in a row. It aint the way for me. Aside from the time factor, it did more harm than good to my body honestly. I would suggest you take one more rest day and also to not train legs...

@zanyteen16 Im gonna sound like a dick, but by being smart and doing your own research instead of asking strangers for advice. Most of the people I met in the gym world are talking out of their asses, me probably included. Only very few people I met I would trust enough to not double check...

@zanyteen16 By doing different forms of pushups, try doing a pushup on one arm and tell me thats not fucking difficult to do ;) But let me give you some advice, making mistakes is a good thing, cause they are your best teacher in life. You will not avoid making mistakes, that is simply...

I can only assume why you deleted this comment and decided to bother me in personal messages instead. But reading this I can't really believe your PM to me where you say you meant no disrespect mate. I don't even know what pumping iron is and I don't base my personality on the gym either, I...

@zanyteen16 Mate, I mean this with all due respect, but it doesn't sound like you understand what you are talking about. Increasing weight is not the bread and butter of progress in fitness. Intensity is the word you should focus on. It doesnt matter if you use additional weights or just your...

@dawn16 I was mostly talking about the fact that every gym bro, maybe you are one of them, tries to push their own narrative onto others. "You gotta train to failure everytime bruh" "You gotta do this and that amount of reps for optimal muscle development, bruh" "Bruh that exercise is...

@zanyteen16 I am sorry but I do not understand what you mean. Bodyweight training (calisthenics) is not more or less complicated than regular gym training. It all has its own benefits and downsides. Personally I think calisthenics has more benefits, but what matters is what you enjoy doing...

@zanyteen16 You can achieve the most amazing physique without ever having pushed or pulled more than your own bodyweight mate, your understanding of the topic might be very wrong and I say that as a bodybuilder. It is absolutely possible to achieve amazing results in a year. Things like...

@jacksonjogu Everything works. That is what I realized after almost two years of working out daily. It doesnt matter if you go 4 times a week or 6, or if you do short sets with heavy weight or long sets with less weight or long sets with heavy weights. The only thing that matters is how you...

@eileentee Brother, the gym is a place for people trying to improve and take care of themselves. This is exactly where you belong and just because you maybe don't compare to other people who frequent that place daily you are still a part of it. I felt exactly the same and I can tell you not...

@blueskies88 If you want to reach your physical potential, having a thorough diet is a must. Or you won't grow as much as you can.

@thebrittschmitt Injury and therefore cockiness. I wanted too much too fast. Don't get me wrong, I am still going strong after 20 months and have clocked in way over 365 gym visits, but what always sets me back are injuries. I so far had a pulled muscle in my abdomen, an inflamed biceps tendon...

@caresirs It is not assisted, it is more isolated if you ask me. Who do you gonna go for tips regarding exercise? A guy that held several world champion titles in boxing or your friend? :D

@diane44 There is a bunch of things happening in your body once you start to train. Your testosterone levels rise, your body retains more water in order to repair the muscle tissue and depending on your initial physique it might appear like you are making crazy fast progress, which is called the...
