There are millions of options out there and it certainly can be overwhelming. The most important thing for any routine (in my opinion) is that it is something you will actually do. Youtube is a good source, maybe type "smaller waist bigger glutes beginner" in the youtube searchbar and check out a few of the videos and see…

Athlean has an app called 6 pack promise which walks you through progressive ab routines. Its free at first then you can reset and start over or pay $3 for the whole enchilada. I have android don't know if available on apple. Anyway it's a great app worth a try.

I'm having good results with AX1 but I haven't tried AX0 sorry. I can tell you Jeff Caveliere knows more about what it takes to achieve and maintain an athletic physique year-round than most. The proof is in the videos he's posted multiple times per week for the past several years. He walks the walk and the proof is…

Consistent results over time are accurate. Log your meals and your exercise for 4 weeks. If you are getting the results you want then great. If not adjust your calories and/or exercise from there. If you tracking is off they'll be off fairly consistently and the error will be offset by the adjustment in calories and/or…

I'm starting a petition to set them free. :)

I don't know the right answer if there is one, but I suppose you could increase protien (if it was low in the first place) in an attempt to aid muscle repair.

Sounds like your getting older. It happens to the best of us. Or you caught a virus?

Ummm... no. It kinda lends credibility (as far as that goes on here). Flagging him for it, however, kinda has an odor of harassment.

You look great. But to your question, you might try weight training 3x a week and HIIT cardio 2x a week instead. Then incorporate Weighted Glute Bridges and either Deep High Bar Squats or Sumo Deadlifts. Start very light to get the form down, and SLOWLY but steadily increase the weight each time. (Emphasis on slowly to…

Nay. Rest for a couple weeks stretch every day. If still hurting see a physical therapist or doctor.

Breakfast is a conspiracy invented by the Cereal Companies. :)

No, you are at a good healthy weight already.

Looks like all you'll get are more mixed reviews. My opinion of CrossFit is that it's not for me, I prefer to run my own program. But there are many people who love CF so clearly there's something beneficial there to be had. If you find yourself in a rut, or need a jump-start, you could do far worse than CF.

You should control the bar on the way down. But it's gonna make some noise. I try to minimize the noise personally.

Really? So you aren't any stronger now than you were in your first picture?

A short-hand way to tell a good brand is how well it mixes. A good brand will mix easily.

Here's the best advice I ever got: Stop thinking. Tie your shoes, get outside, and RUN!! This isn't rocket surgery!!! :)

Cucumbers are surprisingly awesome :smile:

Simple. Eat as much as you want when you get home. But eat very little before then.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Your journey began with that single step of deciding on your goal. Now there is nothing on this Earth that can stop you. "I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can…

Or my first marriage. Now THAT was butal!

Great work Matt! I always chuckle to myself when I hear people say you can't gain muscle in a deficit. You clearly have.

Glad you're seeing progress. The squat is a challenge for me as well. One thing that helped me a bit was to flex the glutes at the beginning and at the top of each rep. This got my hips in line with my feet. I'm going to try what you're doing with pushing the knees out and weight on the outsides of my feet; I get lateral…

My problem has been that I never really know what my wife will serve for dinner from one day to the next (not to mention the occasional snack when I get home or whatever), so I can only guess what to eat/not eat for breakfast and lunch during the day. So now, I just log my dinner for tonight into tomorrow's diary entry.…

Find a better gym.

Which means you'll have to move the bench, move the safety bars, move the bar rack up, change the weights out, and then reverse the process between each set. That's completely unreasonable and you know it. No one's going to bother to ask to work in because they're not going to want to deal with all that crap. All to save…

You look great! Congratulations :)
