@ang7999 I think we found your calorie problem ;)

@ang7999 how many of those 1300 calories were alcohol?

@busola48 The only thing I'd say about the Arnold split is it's a ton of volume. not a men/women thing, more of a natty vs enhanced thing - your average natural lifter will tend to have issues with recovery on that split if they're not taking nutrition and sleep extremely seriously that someone...

@rumiakthar To expand on what /@londonmum is saying, it's not the amounts that matter, its' that weight gain plays the long game. 1-200 calories per day doesn't seem like that much, but if you're overeating by that amount (we'll use 150 for easier math), you're gaining slightly over a pound...

@datahead Regardless of how you get into it, the biggest thing I can recommend is trying to find a beer league. I know you're across the pond, but in the US a lot of adult leagues are full of people who played competitively in their high school and even sometimes college years. If you're brand...

@rumiakthar For the most part, yes. there are some minor differences from person to person, with the general swings being somewhere in the 1-200 calorie range, mostly based on NEAT aka the person is a pacer or a fidgeter. On a day to day basis that much of a swing doesn't really matter, though...

@britanyashton Home gym owner here. I would not even think about purchasing a home gym if you do not already have a consistent routine built that you can replicate there. That's how folks have $2500 Peloton, soloflex, bowflex, etc. machines in their house that become glorified clothing racks...

@wait4him Speak to a PT about how to work out given your condition. IMO it shouldn't impact upper body weight training, but cardio-wise you'll obviously need to consider low/no impact options, i.e. running is off the table. As someone recovering from a lower leg surgery right now and just...

@ausilio Find an actual routine somewhere. 90 minutes is overkill, especially for a beginner. 3-4 sets each of 5-6 exercises is completely appropriate and shouldn't take more than 45 minutes to an hour if you're choosing weights that adequately challenge you. 90 minutes is how long you spend...

@skilletgirlepic Quick correction/expansion - it's number of working sets, not number of total sets. Warmup sets should not be counted as they're generally too light to be considered stimulating.

@soulsearcher57 I think at higher levels women care less about training around their cycles though. Because let's be real, your competition schedule does not care what phase you're in - why should your training? Awareness is a good thing just for mindfulness, but it's not like your sports...

@kingshellie This is creepy. in all my years of sports, and even in the military, any time anybody has ever put their hands on me to correct me, they've asked permission first. Permission should be asked for and granted, not assumed, with the lone exception being if the client/trainee is in...

@malkah18 Looks pretty good overall, though I question flyes as a main chest movement - to me it's much more of an accessory than anything else. You do you, but I'd personally choose something you can go heavy on like incline DB press or dips, and you're not doing vertical pressing. B day is...

@malkah18 I have a few general rules for putting a workout plan together: Big muscle groups before little Compounds before isolations Have a push for every pull to avoid imbalances. Looking at your routine, you follow most of them, but I have a few comments/questions: Maybe consider just...
