Healthline says that it takes about 3 weeks to start losing muscle strength during a period of inactivity:

"Athletes can start to lose their muscle strength in about three weeks if they're not...

Thanks, the info in that popup does kind of align with my understanding. It's just that I've read a few articles recently that have been arguing that the idea is flawed.

Just posting these links...

That doesn't really answer my question though. Ok "complete protein" is a dietary concept that describes amino acid content. But is a source of "complete protein" necessary for effectively building...

Ok they are all proteins but I am talking about the concept of complete vs partial.

I've always had a vague idea in my head that meat, eggs etc are a 'complete' protein, meaning that they are enough on their own to function as a protein.
But other types of protein, such as from...

Seriously, talk to your doctor or a medical professional that understands your specific injury. No one here can tell you what will mess up your shoulder.

If you're not going to talk to a doctor...

Yeah that is a really good point that I hadn't considered. I do aim to get everything done twice a week as part of my current schedule but it doesn't always feel like enough recovery time, not a...

Ah it's called AMRAP/AMSAP, thanks.
I've only been doing it for bicep curls, chinups and pushups but yep I keep going until I get to 1x1, typically it looks like the above set/rep sequence.
Now...

For a while now I've been doing as many reps as i can of a particular exercise (let's say I get to 10 reps). Then for the second set I do as many as I can again (let's say I only get to 8), then I...

I'm skinny fat with pretty much no muscle.

I've been making progress for the last few weeks just doubling my calories (I didn't eat a lot before) and just lifting as heavy as I can.

I haven't...

Thanks, I'll do that.

Also, I haven't posted here for a good few years but when I tried to rep you I got this "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mrpb again.". What are the...

I'm going on holiday for a week, I won't be working out.

My overall weightlifting goals are slowly building muscle while losing bodyfat. At the moment I'm eating at a slight calorific excess.
...

Kind of in.

The only thing that puts me off is the head, eyeballs, insides, fins, tails and skin. I'm sure I'll overcome some of that once I've had a few though.

I'll try them for a week and report back, in...

Yeah they look good, will have to look out for some fresh ones too then.

These ones I have are shrivelled/dried up, crispy things. Most you could do with them is probably mix in some salt or...

I was browsing the supermarket the other day and I came across a big bag of dried anchovies.

They look like this:

But in a bag more like this:...

It's really not, you can eat pizza and crisps and lose weight, your issue is quantity.

If I were in your shoes I'd eat a moderate diet, exercise and just lose the weight relatively slowly, and...

I'm only allowing myself one scoop of whey a day, due to budgetary constraints.

What's the best time to take it?

I would say post workout, but then if I'm already eating my tea around that time...

Whey protein when I can't get enough via food for whatever reason. Creatine. Multi.

That's it for me.

In my opinion, people shouldn't worry too much about supplements until they have their diet...

The bottom line is that most of the stuff you read is just opinion, personal preference or complete bull****.

There are some very simple concepts when it comes to weightlifting:
