Hello! My name is Andero, I'm from Estonia and I am 18 years old. I got into fitness about 2 years ago. I was overweight - by alot. For now I've lost 27kg(60lbs). Through that losing phase I wished that I would've had a calculator in hand that could calculate how much my cooked food weighs if...

So I had Covid and took a week off the gym and exercise in general. This has been my first week off for 2 years. Pre Covid i was in an U/L/R split, high volume and intensity ( 8 sets Quads&Hams per session/ 12 sets Back and chest per session/ allways finishing with 3 Sets biceps SS triceps SS...

Was curious on some feedback for a cutting phase - I ate this yesterday and I felt great and leaned down this am. The chicken breast, if not overcooked, was very tasty and I didn’t feel like I need any sides. Looking for any feedback on Macro mix and overall if this is a good approach to adhere...

So I’m 21yrs old. 6’5 260lbs 21%bf. Bench/squat 4plates+,etc you get it. Late last year and earlier this year I dropped from 315-260 and was fasting like a bitch(goal was to lose weight). I’m just now starting to eat again like normal, and actually eat nutritional food and have a balanced diet...

My arms are currently 15.8”. I want to get them as big as possible. I don’t want to hear all the “do compounds” shit. I already do compounds. I want my main focus for my routine to be bigger arms. Big meaty triceps and biceps. Gimme your advice. Edit: thanks to those who replied answering the...

I was at around 12% bodyfat before I was on a lean bulk. On the bulk, I realized I wanted more defined abs. So, I thought a good idea was to add weights to my ab routine. This included weighted crunches, leg raises, and v ups; I am not working out my obliques specifically at all. However, it has...

Today marks my last day of week 5 of my week 6 mesocycle using the RP Hypertrophy App. Here is my progress within this timeframe: Incline bench: Week 1= 145x5 | Week 5= 175x5 Weighted Dips: Week 1= 25lbsx5 | Week 5= 55x9 Weighted Pull-ups: Week 1= 7.5lbsx8 | Week 5= 27.5x8 Tricep Pushdown...

Just getting started and looking for ideas.

Current situation:

Podcast Time-Stamps: 1:50 - Lyle’s upcoming book on birth control and women’s fat-loss/muscle building 3:35 - How much muscle can we build after 3-5 years of good training (Lyle’s recent debate/discussion on this) 14:10 - Why it often still takes 10+ years to achieve your genetic...

Have you all seen his TikTok highlighting some “new” exercises that he recommends in his new pure hypertrophy program? Link below: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLYm8HfY/ To me, it’s a bit wild. I usually think of Jeff as one of the “no-bs” fitness influencers, but I guess you have to continue to...

I was wondering if anyone is doing PPL x4 a week, and want to know is it better than twice a week, gain vs risk of injuries, how they feel throughout the day etc. I've been doing PPL for a while, and I like it a lot. I usually do: Sunday [Push] Monday [Pull] Tuesday [Leg] Wednesday [Rest]...

Hey all - I’ve been struggling with some mental health issues for a while and was in a long term toxic relationship, just in a bad place in general. So through much of Covid, I didn’t work out at all. Started taking Adderall for diagnosed adult adhd, but otherwise just ate like crap, lots of...

So I'm able to do at least 20 dips continuously now and am putting up too much weight when I squat and deadlift. I know those 2 are more powerlifting but I do moderate rep ranges and starting to feel like I need a belt for both. Need to add weight to dips, unfortunately not pull-ups yet, and to...

Guess I traded in my natty card without even realizing it. See ya guys. It's been fun.

I've been running upper lower 4 times a week for forever. Want to throw in a weak point day to mix things up, planning to start with side delts and triceps. Any tips on programming to minimise the impact of reduced rest days? I'm used to U/L/REST/U/REST/L/REST which always allows 2-3 days...

Same exercises on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday in order. It’s extremely unconventional and I’ve only ever met one other person that does something similar. Whenever I talk about it, people try and tell me that it’s bad or I’ll get injured. I’ve been doing this for 3 years now, and I...

Edit: I found out I was eating about 1000 calories on PBJ with milk. 400 Calories with the amount of peanut butter I was putting. I was drinking 2 glasses of milk. Which equaled to 3 cup of milk=360 calories. Not including the 2 slices of bread or the jam. I was overeating without realizing on...

I don’t have an insane amount of volume, I simply just take my time and rest probably a bit too much
