Surely you have 45 minutes 3x a week to exercise. Just wake up a bit earlier?

Sounds like you need to gain a little muscle and lose a little fat. You can do that by eating at maintenance and doing resistance training. Sweets are ok, but try to get the majority of your food from nutrient dense sources.

What are your goals with your routine? 10-15 minute workouts probably won't make much of a difference. If you're going for strength, then I would recommend learning to use barbells and dumbbells over body weight -- but also depends on your goals and what you want to get out of it.

"Eat anything and everything" is nonsense. You should be eating mostly nutritious foods, especially while dieting to make sure you are getting enough micro nutrients in your diet. Definitely fit in some of the things you enjoy eating and occasional treats, but for your health you should be getting the majority of your…

You just need to be in a caloric surplus. Make sure to log your food consistently. Eat more calories if you're not gaining.

It matters for building muscle. What weight lifting program are you following?

Unless you are an advanced lifter or well into intermediate, which OP isn't, then yes, every week.

Well that's strange, that's pretty much the exact reason you should be doing traditional deadlifts haha.

Empty or full stomach doesn't matter. But yeah, that's the idea. Exercise gives you more calories to eat.

You're regularly not hungry?

It's completely an estimate. Pick one that you think is the best fit for you, then as time goes on you can manually tweak your calorie goal to better fit the progress you want to see.

I haven't done this, it looks like a decent program -- but I see some issues with it. There are no deadlifts, just Romanian deadlifts. RDL should not be substituted entirely for traditional or sumo deadlifts. No idea why they would do that... secondly, it looks like it's geared towards body builders rather than power…

I'm like that too, but I've found that warming up properly for a good 10-15 minutes prior to my warmup sets actually makes a huge difference on how much I can lift and how easy my sets feel. So lately I've really forced myself to warm up. I'll even set a timer for it.

I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and on levothyroxine for that as well as Remeron for depression and sleep. Feel free to add me. With hard work over the past few years I've manage to get into pretty good shape and beat my depression.

33/33/33 is actually a pretty good split for most people. It all depends on how you feel and what your goals are though

I'm not exactly in the same boat, but was before. Luckily if you have the mindset to not rush it and enjoy the process it makes it very easy. Aim to just get outside more and keep your progress to 1lb a week. Don't do what a lot of people do and try to lose 2 or even 3lbs a week or you'll set up for failure.

I think the selling point is it is claimed to help with appetite suppression to help with the deficit. However, research has show it not only doesn't help with that, but it doesn't do anything at all. And not only that, but it is very common for supplement companies that make things like this to not even put the advertised…

You can always just buy organic apples without the wax. Not sure why you care about removing it?

You should be focused on increasing the weight on your primary lifts every week. Every workout even if you're still getting newbie gains. If you are stalling then you need to be eating more and making sure to get adequate rest. What program are you doing?

Are you getting stronger? If you're not, then that's usually a good indicator that you're not eating enough.

People do eat 1200. You can and should do a little exercise to eat more.

I was close! I was going off of memory haha

A good amount is probably water weight from tons of carbs and sodium. Maybe 5-10lbs at your weight. Weight gain during the holidays is part of life. Just get back on track since it's over.

What was your 5x5 weight and BW after the program?

Also want to upgrade my plates soon since I'm just about maxing out my sleeve length with deadlifts. Some eliko or rogue competition plates someday.

Spotter straps work wonders. Here is my setup. Need to paint my walls haha.

I assumed it burned approx 200-400 calories an hour. Better way is to just use your TDEE instead of trying to figure out calories burned ever workout..

I think there's someone who has an avatar of a turtle eating oatmeal who's always on these threads. I'm sure she'll be here soon
