Polar FT4 issues?
Hi, I've recently dug out my polar FT4 HRM and it seems to be telling me I'm burning a lot of calories and I'm not sure I believe it...

Home weight lifting routine - no bench?
Hi, So I've invested in some weights to help me start lifting at home. I've been researching beginner training plans but most of them seem to include bench presses etc. My problem? I don't have a bench. I have dumbbells and a barbell. Any ideas on a starting plan I could use? Thanks

Sources of protein?
So I've noticed that I'm always under on my protein, and was wondering if anyone has any go-to foods for it? I don't like nuts so they're ruled out. Inexpensive things would be good as I'm a student. (Also, I know I've had a bad week or so with my diary, don't judge!)

I currently have them to losing 1lb a week, should I put them to 1/2 a lb a week now? When I've done this it gives me another 300 or so…

Building muscle mass...
Hi! Right I'm in a predicament. I'm a student and can't really afford to join a gym and so I can't go anywhere to lift weights. Will squats, lunges ect help build muscle mass too? Also, does anyone know what a typical circuits class involves? I'm considering going to one but I'm nervous!
