All of my main lifts, bench, squat, deads, take 45 min with warmup, I'm not sure why this is a big deal, if you're lifting heavy (relative) you're going to need longer rest.

You're going to feel it where you're weakest first. I'm a big fan of standing rope french press, ez-curl extensions, and dips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GWilKDXEY4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rh3MHnRI_I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqxwoQvMEjY

"He recommended I only work out on one muscle group at a time, especially being that I had never lifted before." this defies logic...

This is bad advice. The only instance where this should be done is if you are using TDEE. People often make the mistake of cutting too much too quickly because they want to lose fast, then you don't have room to take more away later as you get lighter. Slow is the healthier way to do it, take it from someone who destroyed…

You probably just need to up your fitness level, you're new so your body is still adapting, If you can fit it in your schedule, try walking 30-40 minutes 5-6 a week, even if it's just 10-15 min after each meal and running 2-3 days. The more you move the easier it will get.

As you get older your body becomes resistant to protein, the starting strength guys (Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum and Dr. Austin Baraki) recommend more for older people as a result, unless you only have one kidney, or have some kind of medical problem with your kidneys, I wouldn't be concerned about it.

1g of protein = 4cal 1g of carbs = 4cals 1g of fat = 9cals I usually try to stick to 1g per pound of body weight. Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum has a table on his website, barbell medicine(Scroll down): http://www.barbellmedicine.com/584-2/

Sounds like a parasite to me.

There's no reason you can't lift everyday. I train 6 days a week.

Most people here won't be interested simply because of the fact that you don't bite.

You don't have to warm up this way, you can warm up for whatever movement you're doing by doing warm up sets of that movement with the bar or lighter weights. For example, when I bench press, I like to do some light high rep sets of face pulls and band pull aparts in front of me and above my head, and then 20 reps with the…

Carbs don't cause diabetes... excess calories overall does(in some people), protein causes an insulin response/blood sugar spike too.

I dislike squats, because I'm not very good at them. I like deadlifts, because they hurt me in all the right places.

I would only do HIIT 2-3x a week, but I'd at least walk 30-40min a day regardless, even if it's just 10-15 min after each meal as well as some quality time under the barbell a few times a week. Regarding weight loss, calorie deficit through diet and activity. There is no such thing as spot reduction.

Yes, keep moving.

Strength training, my sister has it, and getting under the barbell makes her feel better.

Personally, I think one should always strive to improve themselves, physically and otherwise.

This, if you really wanted to keep it low, you'd have to restrict protein and carbs and eat higher fat. Edit: Have you had blood work done? Do you KNOW that you're insulin resistant?

This. You'd be surprised how different a serving of peanut butter is when compared based upon weight vs volume.

Lower your body fat percentage... other than that genetics will play a big role in your jaw line.

Insulin get's a bad rap, it's just a hormone that regulates blood sugar, and unless you have a medical condition e.g. diabetes, you shouldn't be worrying about it, you should worry about whatever diet works the best for you in regards to satiety and sustainability.

I would stick to the program until you stop seeing result from linear progression and then move on to something that fits your goals better at that time. You're new to lifting so it's important to build that strong base.

To further clarify, it will help you change your body composition, as a untrained individual initially you will lose weight and gain muscle thereby decreasing your body fat percentage. However, as others have said, you will need a proper diet and cardiovascular exercise in conjunction with this as your body becomes more…

It absolutely does.

Even if you did one compound lift per day 5x5 is still 25.

Why do you just want to work your upper body and not your whole body? For a newbie, I'd recommend starting strength or stronglifts 5x5.

No, it's 5 sets of 5, so 25 reps total per exercise.
