"Intuitive training" is an oxymoron. Training has specific goals.

That's my lunch!

Cheeseburgers, bun not included. Use 80% lean or less for it.

According to the USDA, refreezing isn't a food safety issue as long as the food hasn't been in the "danger zone" (45F+) for more than two hours. They do note refreezing can change the texture of foods in negative ways but safety isn't a problem.

Cheeseburgers. You need cheeseburgers.

Better shoes are a good start.

A stack of issues right off. A camera angle about 45 degrees behind you where we can see at least one end of the bar. This is to see depth, bar path, and back angle. Get rid of the pad. You're not even close to proper depth.

Biggest thing about gyms: The overwhelming majority of gym-goers are paying no attention at all to you and your workout.

Strength training first, because strength training seems to me to be far more negatively affected by cardio training than cardio training is affected by strength training.

JeFit isn't bad, but lacks an export function.

* Stop comparing yourself to others. Your challenger is the previous you * Drop the isolation exercises (e.g. bicep curls, lateral raises) * Shift to a full-body linear-progression lifting program - stronglifts, starting strength, PHUL, whatever. * Run out that program As the Russian Weightlifting Jesus said,

The packaging should have the nutritional information.

I noticed a distinct lack of a recipe.

OHP is always the first to stall in my experience. I haven't seen a lot of adjustable dumbbells that go above 100lbs / 45kg each; titan fitness has sets that go that high. The harder part is a good substitute for deadlifts. Doing them with DB isn't really possible as the positioning with a barbell on the shins is hard to…

There's things you don't cheap out on, and barbells are one of them. Take a look at Cap OB86PB and OB86PBCK. They're inexpensive olympic-plate barbells, but they're not weak. If you want to spend real money check out the Ohio Power bar.

Strength training and skills training are two different kinds of training.

I would strongly suggest running out the program first then focusing on whatever issues you think exist afterwards.

Chalk will help grip; when you can't do double-overhand, switch to mixed grip. When mixed grip starts to fail, it's time for straps. Gloves are only useful to over an injury.

I would strongly recommend a barbell, plates, squat rack with safety arms, bench, and a sheet of plywood to act as a base for dealifting. * Barbell - Cap OB86PB or OB86PBCK * Rack - Rogue or Titan Fitness * Plates - any Olympic plates you can find, 250 lbs + total * Bench - Flat, 600+ lb capacity * Plywood - OSB, four foot…

There is no "fitting in" exercise. You either make time for it or you don't.

Stop worrying about what stupid people think.

"Lifting harder" is in the details of every linear progression program that's been recommended. Your inability to read isn't the program's - or commenter's - problem.

It depends. If you know you're using the exact same plates every time they can be valuable; if you're in a public gym, the plate variances can be enough to really throw off the calculations. Even my home gym (uncalibrated) plates vary 3 lbs on the 45 lb plates.

A novice doesn't know their RPEs, and it's not a useful metric for novices in determining how much to lift. At some point you're going to have to slap down the doubts and grind out reps to pack volume into the program. It serves several purposes: * It allows a lifter to get the reps they need to continue to drive the…

Check out https://youtu.be/X2zDg7RU3TA as well. I've found two light sets of lying triceps extensions with an EZ curl bar work as a good warm-up for my shoulders for squatting low bar.

Overhead press is one of those lifts where you either need microloading plates or need to continually adjust rep & set schemes, even as a novice. To the former end, I use 5/16 chain to make microloading "plates" - each link is one ounce, and I made sets for 5/8 lb each and 1.25 lb each with a short length.

Utter bollocks. A single workout's movements through the "six planes of movement" are irrelevant. The total programming matters.

What's your goal and training level? If your goal is strength-building, you can do a lot better with a program with mostly compound exercises - squat, bench, press, deadlift, and rows - with fewer accessory lifts. If you're a beginner - by which I mean you can do a full-body workout every two days AND add weight to the bar…

Yes.
