Hello! :)

"Heavy" weight at "high" reps. I have quotes around those words because they are subjective. For some people 100 lbs might be heavy, for others it might be light. For some people 100 lbs at 5 reps might be a lot of reps or for someone else it might be a very little amount of reps. It isn't exactly right to call it…

So many people just vanish and quit. That is just how it is.

You'll be able to move more weight in the long run with low bar squats.

5 AM workouts are awful. I could never see myself doing that.

You're 19. Your t levels are through the roof. Go ahead and exercise as much as you feel the need to.

Hello!

Awesome that you are back on track! You just gotta commit to it and DO IT! Not much advice to offer other than get out there and do what you have to do.

Strength first. Cardio tires you out and will lower your strength performance.

So motivation can only provide the spark for you to do something. It might carry you for a day, a week, a month...but it won't carry you forever. You have to move past just being motivated to do something and you actually have to step up and do it. Set a workout schedule and do it. Once it is set, there is no going back on…

People don't like doing squats or deadlifts. They are hard and draw attention from everyone else. People don't like doing things hard and having attention drawn to them. They like quietly going through their lives doing the easy things...

Calorie deficit will help. Lift heavy. They will go away.

Then your calories are too high.

Smith machine I guess can be fine for shrugs and that is it.

Cardio is better for overall weight loss although I like results of lifting more...

If you can do 20x10 you can up the weight. Pretty much if you can do 10-12+ reps it is probably too light. I'd say 5-8 reps is a good target many people use.

Ask the support forum.

That must be a real challenge. How does it impact a workout?

Welcome!

So you lost 1 pound a week. Don't see any problem here. Take a few hundred more calories a day out and you'll lose a bit more if you want.

5 grams creatine monohydrate daily. No loading, no phasing. Drink LOTS of water. Make sure your urine is clear throughout the day. If it gets dark you are dehydrating.

Are you secretly wishing there would be more squished bugs?

On that note, you have to be VERY accurate over the week if you're going to do this. A few hundred calories off every day can make a huge difference come Sunday. There will always be a % error so recognize that.

It might be easier to look at your eating on a weekly level if you are interested in treating yourself every Sunday. See what your deficit is at the end of the week and from that you can figure out how many Reese's Cups to eat without ruining everything. B)

Um generally avoid randomly over-eating if you are just starting any sort of weight loss program or fitness program. You might see athletes or fitness people do it but they are very careful tracking everything. Stick to a caloric deficit for the most part. If you want to treat yourself once in a while that is fine, but…

The inventor of Nutella passed away this month.

I am physically attracted to girls who aren't particularly defined. I like softer look.

A trainer told you to avoid the weights? Oh boy. There are three compound lifts you should look into. Bench press, deadlift, and squats. You should also look into rows and over head presses. All can be done in different variations and with different intensity levels (as in, just because a guy is benching 400 lbs for reps…
