@fionar Lifting for... 8 months. I'd suggest having some checkmarks along the way. Maybe plot training 12 weeks at a time.

@mhdagley Some people here like SL. That's cool - beats the bashing it gets in other sectors. That said, I've run Starting Strength, which is 3x5. Three sets is enough to make you question your sanity. Five sets of squats 3x a week is more than you need. I'd go with this variation...

@dillinger To a degree. I am n=1. Took most of last year off. Been on an experimental cut since New years. 205 lbs - 192 lbs. Regained all my strength back, and have been setting PRs. Recent bests are in the range of 140/195/285/375 OBSD. Without getting into training, dial in your...

@gm0nkx I have absolutely no idea what a "health coach" is. Sounds like a cashgrab.

@dinneratsix Prime movers are forearms. Still missing squat, hinge, bench, row, OHP, and pullups. This can't be a serious query.

@hallartistry Finally press 1 plate. Pull 4 plates. Row 2.5 plates. Hrm. Stay dry. : )

@rorypond Five day lower/upper/accessory on a 3-week wave load cycle. I'm the one executing it, so I understand the cycle-to-cycle flow. But written out, it might confuse you.

@trichakra At 2:30 pm? And you're in bed six hours later? I don't know the half-life of caffeine, but uh. I'd consider going without all caffeine for a week and see how you feel. Caffeine dependency and desensitization can creep up on you.

@olives Unless it has become sentient, scale doesn't lie. You know your food quality. Whole foods (oatmeal, meat, veggies) are more satiating, yadda yadda. You know if there's anything you're allocating because you have the "calories to afford", when you could go without.

@messagesoflove If I have a banana with dinner, it seems to help. One banana is far less calories than the chocolate I might binge. I've also found limiting milk helps. I'm apparently really good at processing lactose, so it probably spikes my blood sugar.

@olives It's reductive and annoying advice, but you need to eat less. Calorie tracking should work on paper, but well. You're eating too much for a deficit. Are you ever hungry?

@psalms91forme Until you engage in fork putdowns, you won't see a difference. If you eat right, you won't be TOO hungry on a cut. But also. If you're serious about a cut? Being hungry is part of a cut, like being full is part of a bulk. Reread that. Changes won't happen until you're...

@ashnarrowistheway Full body routine. Probably an A/B, making sure you hit all six movements across the two different days. (Squat, hinge, bench, row, press, pulldown). Since you're so inconsistent, you could kitchen sink it until you decide you're ready to progress. Squat/bench/row and...

@jhanice Two full body sessions. One heavier squat/bench/row with lighter hinge/OHP/pulldown. Other with heavier hinge/OHP/pull-ups with lighter lunge/bench/row.

@ttcmacro The day will come when I stop red-lining my strength. But, I'm not there yet. During my warm-up squats, I like sitting in a deep ATG position. I don't think 135 is heavy nor impressive, but your average civilian lacks the mobility for this. It doesn't take much strength to maintain...

@luciano123 Are you following an actual routine, or is this more of a philosophical inquiry? If the later, the efficacy of lift organization depends on implementation (exercise selection, set/reps, volume, periodization). Beginners are notoriously bad at implementing brosplits.

@rhettryder I follow a routine. More and more, I've noticed people with this conflict seem to be addicted to their unhealthy habits. They refuse to fix their sleep. They refuse to stop buying unhealthy things. They want the benefits without the effort. Only you know what unhealthy habits...

@newbeginning1996 Basic hip circles, sitting in an ATG squat, then specific warm-ups. Upper body is shoulder circles then specific warm ups.

@mikeb34 I like OHP because I like pressing overhead. : ). I bench, sure, but it's just another lift. Got a soft spot for rowing because my rows are stronger than my bench, go figure. The first rep of ohp is from a dead stop like deadlifts, and that calls to me for some reason...
