So here’s my plan and summer break is coming (I’m 16M, 165lbs) so I’ll have extra time. But I also have 2 days a week of basketball practice so a total of 6 workout days a week. Now, is it a good idea to add an extra workout or two on my schedule that are really short (30mins or so) that...

Hey, I’m 16M, 5’9 and 160lbs. Since March this year, when I was 176lbs I’ve stopped counting my calories. Went to a dietitian and she helped me lose weight and focus on maintaining as much muscle as possible while doing that because it was Ramadan and I was fasting. So my lifts got lower...

Hey all, I’m a 23 y/o male, I’m 5’10”, approximately 150 lbs. I have quite a rounded back and slumped shoulders that I’d love to work on but I’m not sure how to do that at home. I’d also like to trim some fat, while I’m by no means over weight, I find that I have a bit of excess fat on my...

Hey all, Ive never really did exercise like ever until exactly one month ago. Ive been hitting the gym an hour (almost) everyday (somedays I was busy) and it is going ok, I got the hang of it quickly and I now know what to do to achieve the results I want in both diet and exercises to do on the...

For whatever reason i don't feel like taking protein powder I'd rather just get it all from my food but im kinda struggling to go over 100g. Its easier the days i can eat tuna but i cant really eat that everyday. The goal is to hit 150 g of protein while staying under 1500 calories. What I...

Hi, as 26y/o male I started going to the gym 4 month ago (complete beginner) with a 3 times a week frequency. My training plan consists of a full body workout including 8 machine/cable exercises that usually take up between 1:15h and 1:30h. Since I was at an estimated body fat percentage of 35...

Hello everyone. I'm 26, weigh 78 kg, 1,82 m tall, and have been doing muscle training for 4 and a half months. I work out at home every other day (1 hour/1 and a half) with a set of dumbbells: Monday (chest and triceps) - Wednesday (back and biceps) - Friday (shoulders and abs) - Sunday...

The title. I have a good and healthy diet so my food isn’t a problem. But I can’t get myself to go to the gym no matter how hard I try. Out of 6 days I only end up going 2-3 days and it’s a waste of my money too. But I really need to lose weight for my health. How do I get myself going to...

Hi, I'm a mid teens person trying to get a lean but muscular body so I look/feel more masculine (I'm AFAB with 30-35% body fat). I tried looking at that Jeremy ethier guy but 100+ dollars is rlly steep for a teen w/ no job lol. Specifically I was looking at his Shred 2.0 beginner setup. Tried...

I used to lift a lot in my early 20s, and started back at it around six months ago. I would go on short kicks in-between. I am 36 now, and over the last 3 months I stuck to a program that I tailored off the internet and I've liked the results but I am trying to approach it with more purposes...

Hey r/beginnerfitness! I'm Michael and my mission is to help lifters reach their fitness goals. As all fitness enthusiasts know, following workout programs is the best way to consistently get stronger and build muscle. The problem? Many of the most popular programs, including many on the...

Hey everyone! So I’m just getting back into working out again. I took about 6 months off, and have been on again off again for 2-3 years since COVID. In college, I was in great shape but I got lazy and got a job and found it hard to find motivation to get into the gym (as I’m sure most do). I...

I really let myself go last year, i got close to a 100 kg, when i stepped on the scale and saw it said 100, i decided i needed to change. I just dieted but that didnt lead to as much weight loss as i would have hoped for, so i decided to join the gym. I was around 97 kg when i started going to...

As somebody just starting out, my goals are to improve my overall health by: 1. Building strength with weight lifting 2. Increase endurance and heart health with cardio. Compound lifts with barbells seems to be the most efficient way to build strength, but can I just start out with barbells, or...

The Rut 6 years ago, at the age of 21, I was working in a call centre and had been for the previous 4-5 years. I didn’t have much of an education; I was never one to take anything academic seriously. I had become stuck in this average Groundhog Day rut where my job brought in enough income for...

This workout plan is from boostcamp (4day upper lower by Dr. Swole), but modified a bit to fit my preference and the gym equipment. Is there anything to change? Link to the workout plan: https://alphaprogression.com/35JXmG Also I would like a chest exercise in upper B because dips don't feel...
