This is the worst advice you could give to a lifter. To the OP, you need to pick a proven program that is well suited for beginners (Starting Strength, Stronglifts 5x5, Madcow's 5x5 or even 5/3/1 if you feel you're ready) and STICK WITH IT LONG ENOUGH FOR IT TO WORK! Only beginning lifters will achieve a training effect in…

535 squat, 415 bench, 660 deadlift

Water is a byproduct of carbohydrate metabolism. On the first day you did HIIT you were using mostly glycogen in your muscles as a source of fuel and thus you sweat a lot. As you burned away the glycogen stores you sweat less and less as you have less carbohydrates available for use as fuel.

Walking doesn't build muscle unless you were really, really, really sedentary for a long period of time before you started walking. Even then it would be dependent on your diet and you still probably wouldn't be able to gain more than 3lbs of it unless you were also extremely heavy.

Don't do this. They just list a bunch of bro workouts with too many isolation lifts. Do something basic and full body with progressive overload. Like some other people have mentioned, Stronglifts 5x5, Starting Strength or Madcow's 5x5. Stronglifts is good because there is a whole website dedicated to it.

Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe "So you think you can squat" and "So you think you can bench" series on Youtube

^This, you can cut from 5x5 to 3x5 to 5x3 to 3x3 and then reset or deload after you stall again. You're a long way from needing periodized training.

You haven't hit your max with stronglifts. My friend Norman squatted 661lbs at a meet running stronglifts. Until you have stalled and reset at least 4 times you haven't exhausted your gains with progressive overload. I know it can get boring but you need to stay with the program long enough to see real results before you…

On the weekends my training sessions are around 2 hours but during the week they're only about an hour

I feel shaky and like I can't think

You can use liquid chalk at just about every gym since it doesn't make a mess on the floor.

^This. When you first start training you need to do full body training sessions several times per week because it won't take your body long to adapt to the training stimulus due to your low level of current physical adaptation. As you get stronger and stronger it will take longer and longer for your body to supercompensate…

People doing things in the squat rack that don't require a squat rack (i.e. curls). One time a lady came up and told me that I had just taken her squat rack, I let her have it back and she got down on the floor in the middle of the squat rack and started doing crunches. Did she really need a squat rack to do that?!

WTF are you talking about?

yes

Barbell back squats. These can also be used for cardio/conditioning.

We all understand that different people have different goals but it really sounds like you are just insecure and don't like to see people who are more dedicated than you. Also, HGH is not a supplement, it's a class III controlled substance and lifting heavy doesn't give you pancake tits, it gives you pecs. That's the kind…

I address these types of issues with clients using a foam roller and a lot of heavy, unilateral movements (bulgarian split squats, back lunges, one leg deadlifts, etc...). If the problem is mild-moderate this usually will do the trick. If it continues or gets worse you should obviously go see a doctor about it, just keep…

Building strength will actually probably help your running in the long term as well as decrease your risk of developing overuse injuries by supporting your knees, hips and low back with the added muscle tissue you will gain. You can run stronglifts 5x5 and run extensively but you will need to eat quite a bit extra in order…

I quit smoking after having tried multiple times and multiple different ways. I swapped from cigarettes to chewing tobacco because I hated chewing the tobacco so I would only do it when I was really craving some nicotine. One day I ran out of chew and I just didn't buy anymore. It was strange because it was so easy to quit…

The real knuckleheads are the people who go to a gym and train like a bunch of nancies and get less-than-optimal results. I spend the same amount of time in the gym as most of the members at PF and get twice the physical adaptation and this makes me a lunk head? This actually shows that I manage my training and my time…

I know I am not welcome there and I am happy about it. I think it's funny that y'all call it a judgement free zone but you immediately judge anyone who actually trains hard lol. BTW, 500lbs on a leg press isn't very much. Most men could do that after training for only 2 or 3 months...

Going to Planet Fitness is like going to a gay bar where they're holding group therapy.

This is what I eat everyday. It's boring but I have lost a lot of fat eating this way while maintaining a lean mass of over 250lbs and most of my strength. Breakfast: 5 eggs 1tbsp coconut oil (for frying eggs) 1 pot of coffee 1/2 cup of coconut milk (used as creamer in the coffee) Lunch: 3 cans of tuna 4tbsp of mayo 1…

They should make "the biggest fat *kitten*" and film skinny nerds down stacks of pizzas and hamburgers on their quest to be the fattest ****s ever.

I trained with a wooden squat rack and wooden high pulley that i made for years. You can see them on my blog thepursuitofstrength.blogspot.com

My Wife lol. seriously though, a weighted sled
