Lifting

First time going to a gym
I'll be going to a gym for the first time ever in the next day or so and don't really know what to do. I'd really like some input on some beginner friendly excersises so I'm not completely lost. People say not to get intimidated by the people but I'm more intimidated by the equipment lol. Thank you in advance for any help.
Drastic Calorie Deficit
Hey everyone I’m pretty new to weight management but I recently snapped and started eating a lot less. I used to eat very large amounts of food, I could easily eat 7 regular sized meals a day. I am 6’2 and an 18 year old male at 270. For the last 3-4 days I’ve been eating less than 1500 calories a day. I play football, and…
I've come so far! It is possible!

I had every excuse in the book...I'm in my 40's this is just how it is...I'm to busy taking care of my husband and kids....I don't have time for exercise with a full time job..etc etc...I…

"The man who moved the mountain began by carrying away small stones." Started working out with my wife and it only makes sense to track my diet and optimize my macros. Anybody else in the same boat?

Struggling horrendously with sleep lately.
I want to keep building muscle and I know how important sleep is for that. I've taken Trazadone and Melatonin. But I'm lucky if I get 3 to 5 hours of sleep, but I really want 7 to 10. I've always been a night owl, but it seems harder to go to and stay asleep that past month so far than I can ever recall it being. I might…
How do I view my history of routines?
It may sound like a stupid question, but I cannot find the history of the execution of the routines I made, for example, If I created a routine named "push day one #" and entered: bench 120kg 12 reps * 3 press 70kg 8 reps * 3 and so on... and the next day week, I log the same routine but with different numbers by using the…

Wanting to lose 30+ pounds
Hi everyone! I'm 23, and have had quite a journey. Came from a food desert, having not eaten rice or spinach until I moved to a new state at 19. So weight has jumped around with this access to whole foods and not processed stuff. Then I got into weightlifting and gained muscle and fat during the bulk. So while I could…

Working out after lack of sleep?
I've struggled to stay asleep the past few week or so and was wondering if I should skip working out today? The last chest day, I felt a little more noodle armed than I would've liked, but I was still able to force myself to get it done. And it's chest and back again today, but I had another bad night with a lack of good…
Hi
Trying out a different app. Was using BTWB, but it didn't integrate anything. It just counted, there wasn't any data relationship. Yes, it was great at counting (WODs, reps, maxes etc). My FitnessPal actually counts the calories in relation to your workouts (WODs).. so calories going in and calories burned. I'm nothing new…

I am planning to use the app to monitor my calorie intake. You can buy food weighing scale also and search on google the calories/gram of the food you intake. I…
Lose fat and maintain muscle simultaneously
Hi everyone, quick back story. I've been overweight to obese most of my life. A little over two years ago I lost about 42kg (93lbs), I've gained about 6kg (13lbs) back of that. I lost the weight through tracking my calories on MFP and walking. Over the past two years I worked my way up to running and cycling. I'm pretty…
Is it the training or my eating?
Over the last year, I put on a good chunk of mass, reaching 185lbs at my heaviest; I went up 20 pounds between the start of 2020 and early 2021. I cut this summer, dropping down to the 175lbs range, however now that it's winter I was looking to go back up in weight. This last month, I switched trainers as my old one was…
New to fitness pal!
Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I started my weight loss journey in august when I decided to do keto, and I lost 50 lbs! Now my goals are to build more muscles, so I decided to add carbs to my diet. It’s been a little bit of a struggle finding what foods contain the best carbs for my body in order to future my fitness…

I’m brand-spanking-new to anything bodybuilding. I know pretty much nothing. Looking for a good lifting routine and some high-protein foods to add to my grocery list. My stats are 148 lbs, 5’2”, and around 25% body fat. Trying to focus on the whole body, but my highest priority is my core (arms are a close second). Any…
New to MFP with age ole hormone issues LOL
Trying something new! Been on a few other apps before this seems to be more in-depth tracking-wise! I needed it so I can be more calculating with specifics and not just caloric intake. My hormones are giving me a run for my 50 year old money and my previous weight loss methods seem to be failing! Wish me luck folks!! 😬 Not…
Getting the Post-Breakup Dream Body
Got broken up with yesterday, because they “never felt an intimate relationship connection with me.” AKA, I got friendzoned by my own partner. I’m not mad at them, and I know I can’t control their feelings. But now, I’m finding this lack of fear about achieving my dream bod. I was too afraid to start working out and…
Kicking EDNOS’ *kitten* (TW: Eating Disorders)
My disordered eating started around April of 2020. I began descending the bottomless pit that is low calorie restriction and rapid weight loss. MyFitnessPal was my Jesus, and the scale was my God. My “goal weight” got lower and lower for every one I reached, proving only that there was no end to this. I was going to keep…

So you want to start lifting? Great!
Just a brief note/point that I wanted to make since I've seen a lot of friends offline make this mistake recently. :) If you just started or have been lifting for only a few months, don't do any of those split routines. Split routine means this:* Monday: Biceps, Chest [Bicep curls, dumbbell chest flies, ... ] * Tuesday:…
