Strong Curves question
For the gluteal goddess program... Is it 3 or 4 days per week? The book doesn't specify that workout A should be done twice a week, it does for the beginner program.

Favorite glute exercise
I know hip thrusts are where it's at but I feel my glutes worked the most with the back extension, so it's my favorite. What is your favorite exercise to work the glutes?

belly issues
So here is my problem area. I think it's a mix of some loose skin and a little fat. I'm not sure I have much weight I could still lose. I can wear a boy shorts bikini in public and this area is covered but I would love to confidently wear a bikini like this. For some background I have three kids, last one born in 2014. I…

Recomp stalling
https://www.aworkoutroutine.com/how-to-build-muscle-and-lose-fat/ What do you guys think of this article? I've been maintaining/recomping since July. I made a ton of progress from July to December but I feel like my rate of body fat% loss has stalled since then. My weight is steady. I'm still lifting with progressive…

PHUL question
Is PHUL good to run when eating at maintenance calories or is it more for bulking?

Lean enough?
Am I lean enough to run a bulk? I lost weight last year and have been in maintenance/recomp since July. My butt is smaller than I would like and I'm not sure if it will grow in maintenance. If I do run a bulk I'm not planning on starting until late summer/fall because I go to the pool a lot and want to look good for the…

Weight lifting programs
I'm curious to know what others think about this program. https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/muscle-and-strength-womens-workout I won't do the cardio at the end... I'm in maintenance and do others forms of cardio already. I'm really just interested in the weight training aspect of the program. I don't enjoy full…

Lifting progress while cutting.
Question... So I'm eating at a slight deficit to lose about 5 pounds. Should I expect to still progress in my lifts? Or will they likely stay pretty stable? Or will they decrease? Last time I was at a deficit I started weight training and made lots of progress but then stalled out. I then went into maintenance where I have…

Maintenance calories increased
So, I've been in maintenance/recomp for 4 months. When I started I was eating 1600-1700 calories to maintain, any more and I started gaining. For the last month I've been eating 1800-2000 plus a cheat meal almost every week and I've been maintaining. Is this common with recomp?

Body fat check
What do you think my BF% is? I tend to only see my problem areas. My scale says 23%. A seven point caliper test says 19%. My guess is I'm somewhere in-between.
-
Protein
Quick question about protein when maintaining/recomping. How much do you need for the muscle development? My current weight is 115 lbs and I eat anywhere from 100-130g of protein a day. I know this is necessary in a deficit but what about when trying to recomp? TIA!

Recomp success
Has anyone here had success with doing a body recomp that would be willing to share their before/after pics. I'm trying to decide if I want to do recomp or a lean bulk. I've been going back and forth with both for the last two months. I'm at my goal weight but bf is around 20 to 22%. I get mixed answers from both sides as…

Belly fat
I have small amount of belly fat left after months of cutting. I did maintenance for the last two weeks and feel better eating this way. I want to stay in maintenance as I'm tired of cutting but I'm worried about this belly fat never leaving. I am lifting with the 5x5 program and I do some cardio and yoga as well. Is it…

Here's some background: I started this fitness journey in January with the intention of losing weight and dropping some pant sizes. I am 5'2", in Jan I was 137 lbs and barely fit into a size 10. I made it to my goal weight of 125lbs at the end of March. I keep eating at a deficit and kept up with exercising about 5 days…

For women that have children
Does the tummy pooch ever completely go away? Will there always be a bit of loose skin? I'm 33 and I have 3 children. My youngest is 3. My prepregnancy weight with him was 126lbs and I was a size 8 (I'm in the US). I think I gained about 25 lbs in that pregnancy. After the initial loss of having him I stayed around 137 for…

Help me decide
I really enjoy Beachbody workouts. I have used turbo fire and the 21 day fix and had good results for weight loss. I now really want to tone my body. I feel like I'm skinny fat right now and I don't like it. Anyway the two programs I'm looking into are Body Beast and The Master's Hammer and Chisel. Does anyone prefer one…

Hi
Hi! I've been using my fitness pal off and on for a while. I've never used the community but I want to give it a try. I have three kids, my youngest turned 3 in March. After having him and losing the initial weight I was around 140 lbs, I'm 5'2". I've always been a touch overweight my whole life. 2017 has been a great year…
