I've never been a huge advocate of Pre-workouts (especially the additional fluff they put into it). I would recommend Optimum Nutrition's Amino Energy. It's primarily BCAAs, but it has a low dose of caffeine (hence the title "Energy") - but you can add more scoops to your liking (quite a few scoops, actually, if you REALLY…

If you can make the drive - it's worth it. Hocking hills.

I would recommend the brand: Trutein. It is a mixture between Whey, Micellar Casein, and Egg white. No Amino spiking, digestive enzymes, gluten-free, low sodium and you can check the label as there are no proprietary blends. I like the CinnaBun flavor. I scoop or two a day helps make sure I get my protein to supplement…

1. Gyms are overrated - there's plenty you can do with your own body weight and some tools at home - that cuts down on time. 2. Diet is everything - you can always spend some time in the kitchen with the kiddos while you're preparing your meals. I have two kids - 6 year old girl who is a handful and a 6 month old baby boy…

Start with the bar. Learn and master the movement and motion. Gradually add weight as you master the motion. Most new to lifting weights start heavy with bad form leading to a weak foundation and risk injury. Build the foundation and progress from there. F the haters in the gym that judge. Everyone has to start somewhere…

Intermittent Fasting helps in these situations - take a look into it. It might not be for you, but certainly worth a shot. I also have really bad cravings in the evening time. If I conglomerate all of my calories in the evening time I have more flexibility for eating. Also, having one larger meal at night helps keep me…

Just remember - at the end of the day (even the week) it's about being in a deficit for calories (gradual deficit). Whether you want to space out your meals throughout the day or eat one meal at the end of the day. Whatever works best for you. Personally, I find eating my calories in the evening for dinner works best for…

I used to eat chocolates late at night before bed. I know the feeling. I replaced them with a protein bar (some actually taste really good!). That helped it become a more familiar food that was satisfying.

Everything develops into a habit, even fitness or diet. When I started getting into fitness it was really hard to get motivated except to grind through it. Eventually, it becomes a habit and a necessity. I had the worst time craving really bad food - but after 3 months of being dedicated I don't even miss it. Get started…

I'm fairly new to this site. Looking for people to connect/network with that are also interested in fitness and to exchange tips/suggestions, and positive encouragement.

Even though this suggestion is for two exercises - lifting the bar over your head onto your back for a squat is partially the movement for a shoulder press. Work light weights and develop your shoulder strength. I would not increase the current weight you're pushing over your head for your squats...instead maybe lower down…

Plan so far has been training 4 days a week. Mixture of core, body weight exercises, some weight training along with cardio sessions. Diet is focused on around 1700 calories daily while paying attention to my macros: protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates.
