Good for you op! Depending on how hard your are lifting in the gym, how often, how long, you may need more calories than that, just to keep in mind.. In my opinion.. I lift 5-6 days a week. I knew nothing about weight training when I started but have read a lot and write my own programs.. Def have a plan when you step in…

Not dumb questions! #1 maybe do both, warm up with lighter weight db, a couple heavy 20lb lower rep sets, and end with high rep low weight. #2 I'd lower the weight and/or change position, move hand placement, leaning angle until you feel it working where you want it... I've sat on a weighed ball at times too, copying Erin…

Wherever you will do the work! I never thought I would feel comfortable in a gym, but it's ok...

Whitney Simmons on YouTube and IG has very easy workouts all written out and demonstrated for free. You could copy one of hers for each day to start.

Favorite abs excercise....I don't love training abs, but lately I've been doing cable rotations I don't know if that's what they are really called but it's what I call them... I alter the height to target different angles..ab wheel gets me tired... Sit ups on decline bench throwing a weighed ball at top is good.
-
My honest opinion, it's ok, but I'd want to do add one or two bigger moves... If I had 45 minutes I'd 1)warm up for five minutes or less with banded monster walk on treadmill or sumo deadlift with empty bar 2) Romanian deadlift with bb or sumo 3) hip thrust on Smith machine, move a bench over is fast... Easy to get under…

I've been reading this thread because it's in my genetics to get big arms.. and I don't want them..My dad's were like 🌲 trunks when he was young. And I just wanna say good for grambo54 for sticking up for himself and not disappearing with so many attacking his advice. I see nothing wrong with op training arms twice a week…

I like to do both. For the past year I've incorporated a couple heavy compound sets then moderate accessory lifts. Supersetting def keeps heart rate up, not sure if that's same as circuit training.

What others have said, and if it hasn't been said: learn how to wrap your feet either from YouTube or Dr and copy and do daily.. That plus never going barefoot, orthotics, losing weight, avoiding cement has made mine practically disappear.
-
I have done cardio all my life but my body only changed with weight training. Some days I train in a way to keep my heart rate up similar to how it is with running or cycling. But I'm pretty new at lifting

Love Erin Stern!!

Today I did back squats, bb rdl's, b stance hip thrust on Smith machine, abduction on machine, and single leg back extensions, oh and good mornings too
-
I cleaned it the best I could for now.. Not leaving marks on my carpet at least :) and my teen kids are using it!!!!!
-
1) Anything.. As I'm eating it.. And if not loving it.. then into the garbage it goes. 2) ding dongs, Twinkies, or any donut 95% of the time is not worth it

Thank you. I will look into it...I scrubbed and scrubbed yesterday...a lot came off but they are all old and I think sitting in a damp garage for decades... But they were almost free so I'm happy as long as the Olympic bar is not going to break on me!
-
Thank you... I've been out there scrubbing and they will never be pretty!

If you shower at the gym just be sure to wear something on your feet I would...

I log weight training in "map my fitness", sinc it with mfp; it gives me many more calories (I wanna say around 400per hour) than mfp. I eat them all back most days and I have yet to gain weight, yet I'm recomping so this is what I'm going for.

I'm having issues with jeans too... Helps me to roll/fold them up at the ankles till they are tight against my upper ankle/ lower calf.. Keeps them in place better .. at least for me.. wearing a skinny, high waisted jean with some stretch to the fabric.

Yeah I know... That's why I haven't been bugging him about it... Don't wanna be disappointed. I know it's not for everyone... It's just he already looks good and I know he could look REALLY good.
-
He's kind of wanting to... And he has some extra time after finishing a big project.. I've been really careful not to bug him about it for the past year cuz I know he would need to want to do it to be successful. I'll look into hst. Thanks

My squat form is much better when I raise my heals with plates too, but I don't lift heavy doing this as I don't trust myself stepping on the plates with 190lbs (that's my heavy) on my back... I have horrible ankle mobility. Would love a pair of lifting shoes one day! For very narrow stance I use the Smith low weight high…
-
I always eat back the calories..mpf set to lightly active if I remember correctly and I log if I do heavy cleaning sometimes, but always log my weight training sessions, walking, roller blading, and bike riding. I eat over the calorie and excercise alottment many days.. averaging about 2500/day over 18000/week since Jan ..…

I think if it works for you then it's great. You can always add resistance bands or weights if it's too easy and/or back off if it's too much.

You are a busy lady!!

I don't think of walking as a workout...I usually walk our dog for about 2-3 miles a day and lift weights 5-6 times a week. I have done walking and running and biking my entire adult life but only lifting for the past year. Lifting weights with progressive overload along with the food logging/and measuring is what has…

I'm 5'8" started a year ago at 164 and am now maintaining (recomping) at around 145. What helps me is following progressive lifting schedule, food planning, cooking in big batches to eat leftovers, food tracking. I try to not eat out much at all. 2000-3000+ calories a day and adjust as needed. Hope this helps.. lift as…

Good job!
