Were your hands slipping off of the bar, or was your grip just too weak?

Might be able to use a hitch pin for a band peg. If you can find the right size.

You can lose fat and gain muscle. Especially the more excess fat you have. As you get leaner, it will be harder. The more you lift and the stronger you get. The slower you'll be able to gain muscle and strength.

For most Men, belly fat is the last to go. You just have to keep eating in a defecit and be patient.

The real problem I see is trying to look like someone else. You have all these "fitness influences", who post a selfie and an inspirational quote. Then you see all the "I want to look like him/her". The fitness industry is full of a lot of fake people. I try to be the best I can be. I battle myself, not trying to look like…

Food intake is number one.

Was able to pick up a Rogue Dog Sled for $150 with the plastic skids. Also, my Texas power bar finally shipped.

They also make one with built-in resistance. Without using one it's hard to give my opinion.

I guess it depends on their physical capabilities. Possibly outgrowing the usable weight.

Turmeric with black pepper extract.

Those are nice. I guess I see exercises like barbell squats, OHP, and deadlifts as essential. They are natural movements we do every day. Cable machines have their place. I like them for doing accesory work.

You can throw in some glue work on your lifting days. Just make sure it doesn't affect your recovery. One exercise that I highly recommend is the hip thrust. It will help with your squat and deadlift as well. It really targets your glutes and hamstrings. Above all, it will take time. Squats are also great for your glutes.

My opinion, hire a personal trainer and learn first. My opinion, all in one machines are very limiting. Free weights not only help you build strength, but stability. Unless you have serious underlying injuries or other medical conditions.

We all good days and bad. Some days I go into the gym feeling phenomenal, orher times not so much. Just push through and get it done.

I wouldn't pay some random person with 0 qualifications, minus watching some videos. Also, equipment is hard to come by right now. I know as I ordered stuff for my gym.

You need to weigh your food and track everything. There are no short cuts, or magic diets. You also can't out exercise a bad diet. If your diet isn't in check, it doesn't matter.

If you aren't tracking your food intake, then you really can't say your diet is on track. You can exercise until you pass out, but it doesn't matter. Diet is the key. I train six days a week, but I wouldn't be losing weight if I didn't track my calories.

It's like anything else, it takes time. Your body and brain have to lean patterns.

Peanut butter contains healthy fats. I put one tablespoon in my protein shake.

Some animals were put on this planet to eat.

I keep my weight training and conditioning separate. I want to focus on one or the other.

My workouts don't allow me time to think of anything but what I'm doing. Exercising helps me to manage my stress.
