No, doing it your way despite being advised to do the workout as recommended and being told that your body needs rest to build muscle isn't a compromise. It's ignoring sound advice from people with more experience than you have. And I've "categorized" you based on what you've said you're going to do. That's hardly unfair…

This, to me, sounds like a psychological disorder. Many people with ED think in much the same way This made me LOL. Thank you for you opinion. I'm sure in your way it was kindly meant... or not.

The thing about rest days is that those are the days when your body actually builds the muscle tissue. I know it's tempting to go work out every day, believe me I know. How about you do some walking or swimming on the "off" days and lift every other day, because your muscles will build faster if you do this. You're a…

Add another in the "OP asks for advice, gets it, discards it" column. It's a shame you've categorized me already especially since you've given no advice of your own. The majority have told me It's just water retention. A couple have said just do the workout as it was recommended (3x per week). Taking all into…

Why have the surgery before losing the weight? Everything about this post seems backwards.

Now that I'm fully recovered and…

Awwwww thank you. You really do care about me. You're awesome!!!!! What if I do this as I am right now for another 2 weeks since most…

When my husband started strength training, he plateaued for two weeks. Before he got super mad, his weight dropped by 5 lbs in 3 days. Your body is holding on water to repair your muscle, so don't worry about it too much. Thank you for this. So very good to know. I look forward to a drop in weight on the scale :smiley: Pay…

Water retention Thank you. I'm certainly drinking way more water than before cos my body just craves it. I hope that since it's only been 2.5 weeks that my body will eventually acclimate. Why worry so much about the scale if you're seeing improvements in other ways? I'd take firming up and cellulite reduction over a number…

I thought ICF was a full body program. You're not resting between days? Sounds like a made up 5x5 program now I'm doing the Jason Blaha Ice Cream 5x5. I just didn't want to write the whole A and B program on here - just gave an idea of where I am with a few of the lifts. I used to do it 3x per week but now I feel my body…
