    I can't afford enough protein to grow muscle

    @ohkja Jeff Nippard has a ton of videos that deserve to be watched period, the dude is honestly the best fitness influencer out there in my opinion. He brings consistently research backed arguments to light, but doesn't forget the human aspect of training, and that while he is speaking to a...

    I can't afford enough protein to grow muscle

    @guitarguy00 1g is an easier figure to calculate and it’s gained a lot of popularity, but anything over .75g isn’t really that necessary, the benefits grow exponentially between the RDA and .75g, but after .75g the benefits increase drops dramatically. Jeff Nippard actually had a good bit on...

    Lifting while losing weight - pointless or no?

    @safsafs Hell no it isn't pointless. Weight lifting provides a mode of exercise that burns more calories in the long term than cardio alone, builds up bone density and helps strengthen muscles. It's part of an important and healthy fitness routine! For those looking to lose weight, it's...

    I couldn’t even do 5 minutes on an elliptical!!! Help!!!’

    @andrewmicheals Cardiovascular endurance is just like anything else, it takes time to build up and when you lose it, it goes quickly. Think about this like the gym, if you took four years off from lifting and you used to be able to squat 350lbs, would you expect to walk back into the gym and...
