A spotter for when I bench.

I never train when I am genuinely sick.

It's not muscle. Your weight is going to fluctuate from time to time. If your caloric limit is correct and you are accurately measuring your calories you are losing body fat. Ditch the scales, take progress pictures and take measurements of your body. p.s. BMR is a load of crap.

I count my macros, and going to the gym to lift things above my head and then i sit on a bike and pedal for 10-20 minutes.

My training philosophy is this. Every time I step in the gym, use heavier weight or do more reps than last time. If doing 12 reps is easy on my first set, I up my weight.

This. Your genetics determine your body shape. Lose weight, start lifting and stop trying to look for easy ways out.

I ate a whole stuffed crust pizza from dominos a couple of nights. It was excellent. I gained about 5 lbs, but I still look and feel awesome. Today I had a cheeky weigh and the weight had gone away. What I'm trying to say is don't put yourself down for having a night off. Just make sure your consistent with your diet and…

Taking any medication? How long after you exercise do you try to go to sleep? General rule of thumb is to create a "winding down" routine. Turn off the lights, don't look at your phone or your computer, make sure the room is cool and make sure your bed is comfortable.

Do you see any red/purple marks on your chest? Sounds to me like you pulled the muscle in your chest. If you had torn it you would be all purple and looking rad. You over did it buddy, enjoy your week off and next time take it easy when doing dips. Remember Form > Weight.

Here's the truth: HRMs are useless and don't really offer you much if you're an average user looking to lose a bit of weight. Don't worry about it. As long as your calorie limit is good, you're working out consistently and thoroughly you will lose weight. Don't be put off by some fancy watch.

Good beginner plan, teaches you how to do each exercise, proper nutrition and basic introduction to supplements: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kris-gethins-12-week-muscle-building-trainer.html Remember, your diet is the main reason why you'll lose weight, so make sure your calories and macros are correct:…

Eat less.

I would recommend finding a decent lifting program and making that your main focus, then do 10-15 minutes of HIIT after.

Exercise.

Is this just fantasy?

I'm so edgy, I eat in my sleep.

... Hold on. Why are you going to the gym? To make yourself feel better or to impress your co-workers? If it's the latter you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

I eat a full English every day.

Water weight. Ignore it. Ditch the scales. Take measurements and progress pictures.

Don't rely on scales as an accurate measurement of your progress.

I eat in my sleep because I just dgaf.

Hijacking this thread to say that's an amazing Jinx cosplay.
