Hi all. I’m a novice lifter (less than 6 months in gym) and I’m switching from a 4 days/week UL workout to a 3 days/week full body. I tried to build a workout in order to reach from 12 to 15 direct work sets for every muscle group. The goal is to build mass (hypertrophy). Muscle groups...

Hi everyone, New here and essentially still a noob in the lifting world. I've started training 2 years ago and kept using the same program, I know a lot of people will probably be aghast at the thought of sticking so long with one program but I'll give a bit of background. I never did any...

Im planning on starting up early AM workouts, waking up early and hopefully within 45mins-1hr of waking up im in the gym. I remember reading something about the spine and fluids, something about when you wake up youre spine is at a much weaker state for x amount of time. Is this true ?

IM training for long period of time but I dont look like that. I only lift compound movements so I was wondering when its time to stwitch to a split routine. Threads in this forum cant answer my quetions, thats why Im asking here. I was thinking about to switch to a push/pull/legs programme...

Hello, About 5 years ago I had an injury and did not exercise since. Before my injury I had lifted weights regularly (5x5 mostly and following Kris Gethin's 12 week trainers) and done boxing for about 15 years. I am now almost 40 years old and 120kg. I am keen to lose the fat which I have...

Hello, this seems like a good place to post this question. Apologize for length and detail I only posted once on here years ago and got attacked for lack of detail. Looking for some help to find a program that works into my schedule and is most effective. Here's the details. I've been...

Hi guys I have been working out for about 5 months and have lost 22kgs and gained on some muscle. I have lost the weight mostly by aggressive intermittent fasting + low carb + the below exercise plan. Muscle growth is slow but okay I have missed a day here and there because **** happens,...

My wife is wanting an app to tell her what body parts to work and on what days. I told her just do PPL to make it easy and she just Bert stared at me. She wanted me to ask on here. I've told her I'd even help her, but she just wants something she can log into and check off each day. Is there...

Hello, My plan right now is to do a PPL split (so 6 days per week) with strength first then isolations after. From my understanding this is the best method to build strength and grow muscles. My question is if I add some basic calisthenics (not weighted) to the mix, which order should my...
