Is it bad to lift w/o shoes?
I’ve seen a lot of bodybuilders do this but the reason I’m curious is bc I grew up barefoot, I’ve really don’t like to wear shoes unless of course I’m going out in public...I find that I am much more stable barefoot & have so much more control and mind muscle connection when lifting that way...I know shoes protect your…

Improve poor cardio
I had a period of time where I was sedentary for a year which took a toll on my cardiovascular system so I need enough cardio on non lift days to help get back in shape. Nothing will be too intense considering I’m basically out of shape right now & have chronic anemia which makes things worse (doc cleared to workout so…

Just wondering for someone who can’t do a full pull up & only a few knee push ups...should I do them every day to get stronger & better at them? And at what volume? The idea I have is to do the wide, shoulder, and closed grips/stance for both

Weight gain calories/macros?
For someone with a weight milestone in mind, should they eat a surplus and macros that would be considered maintenance for someone at that goal weight? Or is a basic surplus the best way...ex: I’m 116 (lost weight from being sick) but I want to reach 130 for now.

Weight gain & cardio?
I’ve seen numerous places that you should do little to no cardio if trying to gain weight. However I’ve been sedentary for nearly a year & have become somewhat weak and very lethargic. On top of a surgery 5 mo ago that just made it worse and caused me to lose what little appetite I had & 10 lbs...I said enough when my…

Sedentary to fit??
Early-mid 2017 I was working out. I was glute/weight training 3-5 times a week with little cardio other than Hs PE 2-5x a wk since I suffer from chronic anemia.

How often should I switch workouts?
When I first started lifting I was comfortable enough to just decide same day in the gym but since it’s been several months since I’ve gone I’d figured I would follow a program. I invested in a bodybuilding program (glute based) but it’s not specific on if I should do a different one everyday. Or stick to one for a couple…
