  • Thanks! I did them in that order because I have no idea what I'm doing! So far I've liked doing the compound exercises at the end as a way to wrap things up and burn off any energy I have left. On the days I've done it the correct way I can definitely lift/push more weight on the compound movements because I'm still fresh…
  • Sunday: Chest, tricep and shoulder 5 sets cable crossover fly 4 set cable rope tricep extensions 3 set cable lateral raise 4 set machine fly 3 set assisted dip 4 set shoulder press 4 tired sets of bench press Monday: Some curls at home but otherwise a rest day, my legs were still sore from Saturday. Today: ran on the…
  • Leg day today, along with back because I neglected to do anything back related for the week and 4 sets of hanging leg raises because the gym got some new equipment and I wanted to try it out. 7 minute jog and some stretching to warm up 4 sets dumbell lunge 4 set seated leg curls 3 sets cable row to give my legs a break…
  • An update on the little strength training experiment above: down a half pound over pre workout weight from yesterday. Ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things with weight fluctuating due to all kinds of things but there we are! Today’s exercise will be either a run on the treadmill or time on the stair stepper…
  • I saw this post last night and figured since I had planned a strength session this morning and I usually do morning stuff fasted it'd be a good test. I'm assuming any change on the scale is sweat/exhaled but since I wasn't planning on too much cardio it'd be interesting either way. This morning was: 9 minute warm up jog 3…
  • I’d been getting burnt out on cardio so I’ve been avoiding it for a bit but was really feeling like running this morning. Hill sprint program on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Not particularly fast or steep but still a good time. Bench press Cable rows Leg curls My 13 year old has started asking about the gym so looking…
  • no pull ups today, not even as a treat. tricep dips lateral raises cable crossover fly rope tricep extensions shoulder press some curls bench press squats
  • The same thing was happening to me. I just started reducing cardio to a quick 5 or 10 min warmup followed by weights and my appetite has been much more under control.
  • Thanks, I haven’t tried since but it was cool just being able to do one. I gave myself golfers elbow a few weeks ago so not trying to overdo it with pulling exercises. Today was 23 minutes on the stair climber then some cable rows (light weight due to the elbows) and squats in the smith machine.
  • The sprints and squats yesterday left my legs feeling nice and stiff so today was just a 15 min jog followed by tricep dips, cable rows, curls and a bit of incline bench press.
  • I've been getting bored with 20-25 min of running followed by 30ish minutes of throwing weights around so today it was 40 min of sprinting fairly quickly for 30 seconds followed by walking for a minute and repeat. Then some squats, lateral raises, machine flys and tricep extensions. Oh also I managed to do my first pull…
  • I use the Fitbod app personally. It's not free but there is a trial so you can see if it's for you. I know this doesn't exactly match what you're looking for but maybe you'll like the way it's structured in trying it out enough to look for a sale. Fitbod can be used for cardio and strength training, and since you said you…
  • Fitbod integration would be amazing! It’s so annoying having to manually add things in to mfp after a work out.
  • Just got back from the gym and I’m happy to report it seemed as busy towards 6am as it has ever been. Hope everyone is able to stick with it!
  • Hi everyone feel free to add me! I’ve been losing for almost exactly a year, this site is a great tool. My diary is open as well, looking forward to getting meal ideas from others.
  • It’s ok after reloading the app it worked. It’s just an advertisement so I’m not too worried about missing it.
  • I had the day off today so got to go to the gym with my wife which was a nice change. Our work schedules are usually out of wack. 13 min jog on the treadmill 4x 8 cable tricep extensions 4x 8 EZbar curls 4x8 machine fly 3x6 overhead kettleball squat 3x 9 medicine ball russian twist
  • Makes total sense, thanks for that.
  • Treadmill jog - 16 minutes, 1.27 miles 5x8 glute kickback machine 3x9 dumbbell row 4x8 dumbbell shrug 5x8 dumbbell incline bench press 4x10 machine fly 6x8 squat (light weight) 3x12 ab crunch Got home and my wife told me she wants me to come with her to the gym later today so I guess I'll have another very light jog later…
  • Yesterday: 18 minutes jogging on the treadmill 5x 8 reps leg extension 3 x 10 reps barbell curl 4x 6 reps leg press 4x 10 rep tricep extensions Today: Taking a break unless I get bored
  • Just joined a gym a few weeks ago and having fun figuring it all out. Here was the day today, focus on my core but enjoy running so added the treadmill in. 13 min treadmill around 5mph Ab crunch 4x10 Machine bicep curl 5x8 Lat pulldown 4x9 Cable upright row 4x8 Machine bench press 4x6 Cable row 6x5 Cable rope tricep…
  • I can share a bit of second hand data, hope it will help. I'm CIS but a close family member is a trans man taking testosterone. He is around 5 foot 2 and 120ish pounds so pretty small and does work out but unfortunately hasn't had a huge increase in caloric burn since transitioning. Maybe 100 extra calories per day after a…
  • Fall update time, the pic on the left is now at 189 lbs. Still 9 more pounds to get to my goal and down 87 lbs this year.
  • Cool story man nice to meet you! This app has literally changed my life so I can't say I'm in the same boat but hope you find peace in life with whatever you need to do.
  • Hello fellow middle agers! Looking to add some friends on here so we can creep each others diaries and get meal ideas. I'm a 44 year old man, started the year at 276 lbs down to 190 now and still have a bit to go. I started running in the spring and I'm trying to get the hang of how the extra exercise affects calorie…
  • My NSV is running 5 km without stopping earlier today. 6 months ago I couldn't make it 250 meters without a break.
  • A banana is my go to, it'll fill you up enough and doesn't need to be refrigerated so it's pretty simple.
  • We used to eat out a lot but have cut it way back since getting an air fryer. It's so easy to toss a chicken breast or two in there and cook up some veggies and/or potatoes on the stove. Clean up is way easier than using an oven as well.
