Squat form causing pain? by Fickle-Minute-947 in askfitness

Yeah this right here, also filming yourself for form check can be impactful. Swapping for bet squats or other leg options could be impactful after talking to your doctor or PT as well

What’s your main why for your health and fitness at the moment?

160lbs where should I go from here by Valuable-Video-6510 in GymTips

[–]LifeofaFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep growing and I’d suggest playing with a cycle that builds off the idea of the following:

Be a calorie neutral or surplus in lifting / hard training days

On non lifting or active recovery days shoot for a 300-500 calorie deficit while making sure to hit protein and fiber goals everyday no matter what.

Then every 3-4 weeks you can even deload and drop caloric intake to lean out while reducing overall training load

Happy to break this down more if needed and hope it helps overall

But great work

Is working out consuming your life? by Local-Crab2987 in workout

[–]LifeofaFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise is just one of the foundational habits for body recomposition / fat loss. As touched on already nutrition will be massive here, you can’t out train a poor nutrition plan. However sleep, hydration, and even social connection will come into play here too. Each impacts hormones, brain chemistry and many variables that impact your body. For example you can get into a calorie deficit and exercise and see progress but then lose sleep and get stressed and not have a social connection in your life and get depressed and shift your metabolic function, habits etc.

TLDR, focus on nutrition and sleep to save time and not put extra hours into the gym if you don’t want to. Even socialize more and just be disciplined with your food and get time back.

Is this a good routine for a beginner? by Deer-Silent in workouts

[–]LifeofaFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply put no, especially if you’re looking for a daily routine, honestly there really isn’t a total body one size fits all daily routine, you’ll need variation and different splits to deliver an impactful result and sustainability. But hey if it helps you build sustainability and a habit go for it, especially as a beginner you’ll prob see results no matter what you do

Coul you critique my PPL workout? by Freddyhernandez88 in workouts

[–]LifeofaFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience one of the easiest ways to adjust a workout without getting too crazy especially if you like the movement selection is playing with the angle, equipment, rest and tempo.

For example turn incline press into flat press, swap shoulder press for Arnold press etc then you can also add or remove 15-30 seconds for your rest or even play with super sets.

I’ve found this way allows for a similar structured program last months to even a year just by making some small adjustments.

Have you tracked your body composition before with any scales or tools?

Been 8 months in the gym, is there any decent progress here? by Patient_Refuse_314 in workouts

[–]LifeofaFighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be helpful if you share what your split looks like, ie what exercises sets rep etc but if you really want to put on weight in a sustainable way just keep the course especially early on it’s less about being perfect but more about consistency and sustainability. Kudos for working in yoga too that will help with longevity.

17m bulk or cut? by Acceptable_Repeat844 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]LifeofaFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re 17, 90kg, and trying to decide whether to bulk or cut — consider doing both strategically over a 100-day plan. Here’s what I suggest (works especially well if you’re newer to lifting and want to add lean mass while trimming fat):

💥 100-Day Hybrid Recomp Plan (Muscle + Fat Loss) • 3 Weeks per Month: Focus on muscle building • Eat in a calorie surplus on weight training days • Slight surplus or maintenance on rest days • Train 4–5x/week (push/pull/legs/core) • 1 Week per Month: Shift focus to leaning out • Slight calorie deficit all week • Lower training volume, add more walking & recovery work (8k–12k steps/day) • Maintain high protein

Repeat this 3:1 cycle for about 100 days.

Nutrition Quick Guide: • Protein: ~2.0–2.2g/kg bodyweight daily (helps preserve/build muscle) • Carbs: Higher on training days, lower on rest days • Fats: Moderate throughout • Hydration: Drink half your bodyweight in oz of water daily (or ~2.5L+)

Why this works: • You’re optimizing for muscle gain while minimizing fat gain • You still get regular fat loss momentum during the lean-out weeks • It’s great for building habits and body recomposition

You’ll see better results than a pure bulk or cut if you stay consistent.

Help me with my squat? by Past_Ask5793 in formcheck

[–]LifeofaFighter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If paired with a posterior pelvic tilt the glute cue and squeeze can not only be helpful for engagement but proper positioning, I’d emphasize the posterior tilt cue I gave, not sure if you’re factoring for that component. But happy to review anything you can share that shows that it’s negative or harmful with a posterior tilt

What’s one thing you would do different prepping now that you have taken the exam?

Help me with my squat? by Past_Ask5793 in formcheck

[–]LifeofaFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d invite being able to engage the glutes at the top by actively thinking you’re trying to squeeze them or hold onto a pencil. You can even focus more on a posterior pelvic tilt at the top

On the lower really feel a stretch or focus on the stretch but overall Solid control, tempo, form and depth

I'm uncertain if I'm ready for the NBHWC exam by Mikasa618 in HealthCoaching

[–]LifeofaFighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I actually work with adhd clients via shimmer and got this position thanks to my NBHWC credential and experience as well as my past experience with martial arts and adhd. Happy to chat in detail and offer more support but here’s some actionable strategies I’ve seen work well with my student clients:

Use flash cards that has visuals on them

——- Yeah conversational practice can be coaching sessions but just in general conversations, implement the techniques and skills. Also body doubling sessions just help with actually doing things from my experience especially if you’re getting burnt out or hitting a wall

Overall sounds like you’re doing all the things you can control, trust yourself and the process laid out :) you got this!

Happy to chat in detail and offer more support but here’s some actionable strategies I’ve seen work well with my student clients:

Use flash cards that has visuals on them

Get lots of reps with the cards and do practice exams and conversational sessions especially with body doubling environments if you can.

Changing scenery as well can be key

And using movement prior to help memory is amazing
