How many exercises per session?
I've been doing this 4 day upper/lower split (see images), but some say you just need to go hard for 4 excercises? What do y'all think? If it's not broke don't fix it?

Dealing with weight gain
I’ve lost quite a bit of weight since I’ve started my journey but recently I’ve gained some back. I’ve been strength training so I try to blame some of it on muscle gains but due to some recent changes in my life I’ve been putting off my workouts. I want to get back to it. I would input every calorie almost obsessively…

How much should I eat before morning lift?
I normally lift in the afternoon/evening but need to switch it for vacation. I've struggled with morning lifts before feeling weak. If I eat a 300 calorie breakfast, how long should I wait to lift? 1.5 hour? Do I need more or less? (I'm 101 lbs)

Intermittent Fasting and Working out
Hello all, I've recently restarted IF 16/8 and it has helped me get past a plateau with my weight loss/fitness. My fasting begins at 9PM and ends at 1PM to correspond with my work hours-ish. Problem is, I was going to the gym in the morning around 9AM, and I find that I am light-headed doing the workouts I was doing…

IF(currently 20:4 mostly) and sporadic EF, with lower carbs, crossfit/lifting plus long distance wal
Hi all, I have been intermittent fasting for several years now, though in the last couple of years struggled with having shorter eating windows....so I did a lot of 2mad with a 6-7 hrs window. That said, I've recently fallen into a 20:4 pattern with some days of 2mad (without limiting time) to fit my life. I am training to…

Deloading tips?
I've been lifting seriously for about a year now taking breaks here n there. The week of Thanksgiving was my last "deload" where I did 2 workouts that week instead of 4. Since then missed 1 day for being sick. I'm making good progress with my 4 day upper/lower split. I don't know if I should take a breather or keep going…

Feeling deadlifts in the legs
I recently took on a new objective of learning how to do deadlifts, and my beginner's session went well. I studied up on the correct form, I went to the gym and did 4 sets of 6-8 reps, to start off using about 40-50 lb (I'm a woman, I can probably lift 100 lb max). I managed to avoid using my lower back, yay for that. But…
