Muscle

I’m new here!
Hi! I’m new here, just trying to get more toned and healthier. I wanted to lose a little weight, but I gained almost 5 pounds in about a week. I’ve been working out a lot, do y’all think I’m gaining weight or is that muscle mass?

45 and healthy by genetics only- Day 2 of Diet Plan! 😀
My parents cooked healthy and I'm like a trust fund child with the genetics. I don't eat fried foods much and never season with salt. I do eat late at night and have a vicious craving for doughy sweets, cookies, honey buns with the icing etc. When I focus I lose weight quickly but since my diet is tied to emotional eating,…
Hit my first goal weight !!!!!!! Very happy !!

Post open heart surgery lifting routine
I'm in my fifties and was seemingly healthy, but learned last year that I needed open heart surgery. Fast forward to nine months later.

When your body doesn't want to gain weight...
Hello! This is my first post so I'm a noob. My predicament is as follows: I have a REALLY hard time gaining any weight. The most I ever weighed was 120lbs in high-school when I was in a more competitive gym class everyday (HIIT, weight training, and cardio), I was also eating breakfast, AT LEAST two quarter pound burgers…
Deloading tips?
Would 2 days instead of 4 still be an effective deload and some cardio? Or should I perform the 4 day upper/lower split at lower volume? It's been 9 weeks since I deloaded, and missed 1 day since. My back seems to be tweaking out and I think my body is getting fatigued. I've made upped the weight these past couple weeks…

How much of extra calories earned should I eat?
So historically when trying to lose weight I would not adjust food intake to take into account exercise. Now I am trying to change my relationship with food, to not use food as a stress reliever and to really understand healthy eating with weight loss being a very handy by-product of that. Added bonus that if I can retrain…

Strength Training on Vegetarian Diet
I have been strength training for years. YEARS. Eight years to be exact. My max weights have plateaued for years. YEARS. About six years to be exact.

how much protein should I be eating?
Last year I lot about 50 pounds using MyFitnessPal to track calories and lifting with a little cardio. The last few months, at the recommendation of a fitness trainer, I started paying closer attention to macros and set my protein goal to about 1g per pound of weight, and using that as a baseline to calculate calories…

Exercise causing weight gain
I was tracking on mfp for all of last month and I lost 15 lbs (now 215) so I decided to take it a step further and start incorporating some strength exercise and cardio to get to my goal faster but after the first week I gained 3 lbs.

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…
Website for muscle groups and exercises
I remember about 10 years ago visiting a website where you could click on muscle groups like "chest" or "biceps" and it would show you a HUGE range of exercises targeting that muscle. I am about to make a new program and would like some inspiration. Does anybody know what I am talking about or if a similar tool exists?
