I'll skip the essay and give the cliffs for y'all:
- Used to be kinda fit
- After a long break of almost literally not moving I am now REALLY unfit
- What is the best strategy to improve fitness...

talk to your mum first and find out what actually happened, it may not be as bad as you think...

Hopefully, I'll stop the 1300 soon enough and return to a higher 1600-1800 or so. Protein intake at 1300 is not great for me.

I think at the moment, I maintain on like 1800-2000 kcal.. so I assumed like a 600kcal cut would take me to about 1300kcal until my shin splints recover :/

Hey, I've been cutting.. and living a VERY VERY sedentary life at the moment (at home on holiday)... was doing a bit of cardio though but then I got shin splints or something and have been resting.
...

Its my first day of a new IF type diet lol. Let's hope it works! But thanks anyway.

How do you fight hunger cravings on a cut without snacking?!

When you scream "aaaaaargh" with shoulder pain.

Like IceBrah sed.. we can only guess from here. Whatever injury it is, just let it fully heal before you carry on and there should be no need for surgery unless it majorly worsens.

Rest it. Stop doing presses behind your neck.

Do crunches do anything more than improve endurance? Because apparently, your abs should be trained with less reps and weight..

aahh.. rent :/... but yeah.. you could keep using the best of what you have until you find something you can afford.. something you can try is buying it piece by piece lol.. like a weight plate...

Can you afford a barbell and some weights? Even if they are second hand?

As for your second question, I don't know.

ayt.. I guess this means its time to train in 15 mins! :)

Recently been experiencing muscle soreness in my calves after skipping. Slightly uncomfortable walking, but it seems like training soreness as opposed to an injury. Do I NEED to rest, or could I just...

I'm tryinna take in enough protein and train to avoid losing muscle mass. My sanity should be fine though, because if I ever do get really hungry, I just 'cheat' and eat an extra couple/few hundred...

I'm on 1000 calorie deficit. Only have about 9 weeks to cut, and want to lose a fair amount in that time!

That is very good news.. I normally get lazy with lifting when I'm cutting because I feel I won't see much or any increase and so I get demotivated!

:D :D

I haven't lifted properly for about 6 months, how much strength gain, if any can I expect whilst on a cut and lifting?

Sorry if this question has been asked many times before!

That sounds like a normal crunch, but you hold the top position.
