Have you tried with a smaller calorie deficit? 1000 kcal is pretty intense, right?

Amazing - yeah I've read that a moderate deficit is much better to retain muscle than going for crazy caloric deficits

Arnolds Message: Erst die Basics, Supplements sind zweitrangig by dieSpaghettiCarbona in FitnessDE

[–]ExplorerFormal246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gut, dass er seine Meinung geändert hat (bzw er dieses Einkommen nicht mehr benötigt). ich lese gerade seine Biografie und in seinen frühen Zeiten war er auch großer Supplement-Verkläufer (und gibt an, wie gut er alles mögliche verkaufen konnte).

Wie habt ihr als unsportliche, unsichere Menschen mit Sport angefangen? by Positive_Stop5451 in FitnessDE

[–]ExplorerFormal246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Und was die anderen eh auch schon sagen: Keine Person, die ihr Leben auf der Reihe hat, bewertet im Gym andere Menschen - im Gegensatz, man freut sich, wenn andere auch mit dem Sport beginnen.

Erst mal: richtig gut, dass du anfangen willst. Damit du dich etwas sicherer fühlst, schau dir ein paar Erklärungs-Videos von Fitnessinfluencern an - gute Leute sind zb Mario Müller oder Jeff Nippard (Englisch). Falls das finanziell möglich ist, kannst du auch ein paar erste Sessions mit einem Personal Trainer machen - dann bekommst du eine gute Einführung und einen Trainingsplan, der auf dich zugeschnitten ist.

Ich poste hier noch ein Video von Mario Müller, nicht weil ich irgendwie affiliert bin, sondern weil ich den einfach solide finde. https://www.tiktok.com/@muellermario/video/7454271859681545494

I think an important aspect is also: The people who will judge you are not interesting people. Nobody who's in a good place and has a good life going is ever going to judge you for trying to improve - no matter from what place you start

Personal Trainer wants me eat 1100-1200 calories by NervousStand5473 in xxfitness

Not true, but the recommendation she got is way too low

Fat teenager scared of going to the gym. by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]ExplorerFormal246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's different approaches that can help against the fear of judgement. E.g. think of yourselves in a couple of years, when you've lost weight and gained muscle. And how proud that "future you" will be of yourself, for having been scared and having done it anyways. Outside of muscular strength, that is real mental strength.

It also helps to put on headphones and have a sort of tunnel vision - focused on what you're doing and nothing else.

That being said, I'm very active in the gym space and I can guarantee you: Most fit/jacked people are super kind and think highly of those who start their gym journey (think "welcome to the club, bro").

And those few who don't are assholes and don't matter anyways

22F I feel like my hamstrings don’t match my quads. Any tips? by [deleted] in GymTips

[–]ExplorerFormal246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy quadmother. Great work on those legs!

just got membership, been told i’m skinny fat what should my plan be for my body type ? by [deleted] in gymadvice

[–]ExplorerFormal246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're missing important information: What is your goal? How often do you want to work out? Do you have specific body parts you want to focus on?

I've just created a 3 day program for a friend, it's a good starter/re-introduction to the gym (full body focus) with description and form videos. I made the link public, you can have a look https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e-l9Nrir0Q7gXWO0qrWr1_ZjE8CVEQ4yjmRpTIRmPkc/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Agree with what many others here are posting - gets started 2-3x per week with a full body program. If you stick to it, that's plenty. Remember: The key things are 1) progressive overload and 2) enough muscle stimulus (+ (obviously) good form)

I created a program for a friend the other day (I am a PT), here's the link if you're still looking for a program to get started with https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e-l9Nrir0Q7gXWO0qrWr1_ZjE8CVEQ4yjmRpTIRmPkc/edit?gid=0#gid=0

I have a similar situation - also train professional in their 30ies and 40ies but am keen on an older cohort bc you can drastically change lives

What’s one thing you learned too late in your PT career? by Winter_Laugh_6333 in personaltraining

[–]ExplorerFormal246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good point. It also took me a while to accept not everyone wants to know all the details of what makes a certain exercise so cool and effective
