@nowhereman I'd look into Mike Israetel and Renaissance Periodization on YouTube or the aforementioned Basement Bodybuilding. Renaissance Periodization has the RP Training App or RP fitness app. I forget what it's called but there's a sparsely populated sub on it. It's the only fitness app I...

@nowhereman Switch up your training style. You've been doing strength programs with average or below average genetics a minimalist strength training approach isn't going to give you the results you want. I lifted for around two years and made decent progress taking a similar approach to you. I...

@ilovemyfather Home Gym is the way to go. Especially if you work from home. A power rack and barbell is all you need.

@truth76 Yeah I'd switch up the training style. What you're doing is often advertised as a "build muscle burn fat" style of training. Or it will be advertised as "get shredded" trained. Imo it does both of those things very poorly. With this training style you'll see people make some initial...

@truth76 Based on this you might not be going heavy enough to stimulate muscle growth. You want to make sure you're getting quality reps with sufficiently heavy weight which should slowly increase over time. I'm still not exactly sure what you're saying but it sounds like you're doing a fast...

@truth76 What do you mean 3-4 sets of 1-2 exercises 4-6 series each? This sounds like your problem. What's your routine?

@cjschaff Yup personally I do upper lower 4x a week. The basic splits are; Full body 3x a week Upper-lower 4x a week PPL 6x a week for best results but I've seen it done 3x Bro split 5-6x a week Bro split is the only one where you're not hitting everything 2x a week unless you're doing the...

@juliekl Please explain how 5 muscle groups are 1 muscle group?

@juliekl Yeah that was a typo it's OPTIMAL but whatever. Beginners are not juiced up pros which is exactly why they shouldn't train like them. Do whatever you want though. The real problem is you don't seem to know the difference between one and multiple muscle groups.

@juliekl See the thing is that's 5 muscle groups not 1. So it's your communication skills and English that suck. Yeah it's a regular bro split. Not necessarily bad but like I said 2x a week per muscle group is optimal. Many beginner programs are even full body 3x a week. So don't act like an ass.

@juliekl Hit one muscle group a week? Is that a typo? Everything you say makes sense. It's ideal to hit every muscle group 2x a week. If you're doing one muscle group a week that's hitting chest 1x a month.

@lucyflor This is what dynamic double progression is. It's worth looking up. It works great.

@zach17 It was weird to get bitched out for making an effort to help people lol. Yeah motivation is a tough one to deal with. I have a "habit building" copypasta that I usually share on those posts. My least favorite ones are the "be my accountability partner" posts. Of everyone I've known...

@zach17 You forgot "how do I get/stay motivated?" I do pretty much the same thing with copypasta replies. I actually get quite a few thoughtful replies and the occasional DM following up and thanking me for my advice. Someone attacked me once for "wasting my time" because I gave a long...

@scheidna Wraps. It's just a wrap+bag of salad+protein. I like Ole Extreme Wellness and Lavash Bread for wraps. Any bag of salad that has a decent dressing but you can buy your own sauce or dressing too. For protein I liked smoked salmon, canned chicken, deli meat, occasionally chicken tenders...

@fayerie91 I can't tell you how much you should be eating a day but If you've had kids it might be loose skin as opposed to fat. It might also be genetics. If you have the genetics (like I do lol) where most of my fat seems to be stored right around the midsection you may have to get to an...

@joyce65714 You lost weight and likely have loose skin. It may tighten up some over time. You can also minimize loose skin by focusing on hypertrophy and muscle building.

@fayerie91 "I do work on the rest of my body and not strictly core so I can burn fat." That's the problem. You have incorrect ideas about what you're doing and thus unrealistic expectations. It really depends on the type of exercise you're doing but generally anything claiming to "burn fat" is...

@thecoldbike It's false. It's long been known that LISS is better for recovery and hypertrophy granted it's not taken to the extreme. The afterburn effect is vastly over stated.

@thecoldbike HIIT is not necessary nor advisable for anyone trying to build muscle. It's not the magic fix-all everyone thinks it is.
