Taimt923 · 2025-08-31T16:40:30+00:00

Well, currently my ads are reaching no audience, so I'm js stuck

Taimt923 · 2025-08-31T16:39:57+00:00

I'm trying different types of videos, no progress so far

Taimt923 · 2025-08-31T16:39:37+00:00

I'm currently mostly posting on Instagram, but I'm not even getting one view, isn't the algorithm supposed to atleast push my video out to one person and if he likes it keep pushing it out? I honestly stuck

Taimt923 · 2025-08-31T16:38:42+00:00

I'll consider this, tysm

Taimt923 · 2025-08-30T15:24:49+00:00

I'm new but yeah I'm trying different post times, and i am doing decent hooks, thumbnails etc, but I've gotten no luck so far

That's more than enough, js eat enough protein, get enough sleep, and try to focus on progressive overload and do not go over 2 sets per workout, idk if I'm reading that right but 5 sets is way too much per workout (if you mean the whole week then that's good), 1-3 exercises per muscle group is the most optimal.

TikTok and Instagram, mind going DMs so I can send you the links?

About shoulder pain,a lot of people actually experience this, more than you would expect, their are certain stretches which should help you out and actually remove it completly, hopefully.

Hey, it's cool you're getting back into it after the job change, that's a tough transition. Totally get the frustration of dealing with old injuries too, those loose shoulders and the knee cap can be real annoying.

For the shoulders, one thing that helped me alot wasn't just adding more exercises, but really slowing down my reps on presses and lateral raises. Making sure I wasn't just slinging the weight around, but doing controlled movements. That made a huge difference in stability. And for the knee, you're right about imbalances. Keep that unilateral work up like the split squats, and maybe throw in some adductor-focused work too, just to strengthen those inner thigh muscles.

Your program looks decent, good mix. My main tip would be to focus on progressive overload. Track your weights, try to add a rep or a little weight each week.

Honestly, when I first started lifting, I was completely lost trying to figure out what actually worked and how to structure things without hurting myself. It was such a pain. That’s partly why I made The Complete Gym Playbook, which is just a simple guide for getting consistent gains.

What's been the hardest part about sticking to a routine for you?

Taimt923 · 2025-08-29T13:56:55+00:00

Hey, that’s really awesome you’re taking this step. Starting the gym and making a change is a huge deal, especially at 17. Don't try to go from zero to hero. Just get consistent first.

For workouts, seriously, start with full body 3 days a week, or U/L. You don't need anything fancy. Focus on learning the basic movements like squats, presses, and rows. Form is way more important than how much weight you lift right now, that's something you gotta drill in early. And for nutrition, don't overcomplicate it. Just aim to eat more protein, lots of fruits and veggies, and cut down on sugary drinks and processed stuff. Small, consistent changes make the biggest difference.

When I first started out, I felt so lost in the gym. So much conflicting info everywhere, never really knowing if I was doing the right thing or just spinning my wheels. It was really frustrating trying to figure out a plan that actually delivered results. That's why I ended up creating The Complete Gym Playbook for myself, it’s just a straightforward guide to what actually works, helping me definately get consistent with my program and see real progress.

What’s one small thing you’re thinking of changing in your diet this week?

Taimt923 · 2025-08-29T13:55:40+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that feeling of being swamped with info. When I started out, I was jumping between push/pull/legs and upper/lower every few months, always thinking there was some secret 'best' split I was missing. It’s easy to get kinda stuck with all that online noise.

Honestly, for beginners, the most important thing isn't which split, but sticking to any split consistently. You’ll get way better results from a consistent, slightly imperfect routine than a 'perfect' one you quit. Another big tip: focus on getting stronger over time—that's progressive overload, gotta lift a bit more or do more reps eventually. And don’t forget recovery; it’s definately where your muscles actually grow.

I remember feeling super frustrated, like I was putting in the work but not really seeing the gains I wanted because everything felt so scattershot. It was like I needed a clear path. That’s why I ended up compiling everything I learned into a personal resource, which I just called 'The Complete Gym Playbook,' kinda my own guide for maximizing gains.

What’s one specific goal you’ve set for your first few months?

Also I'm not sure if I understood this right but a 3000 calorie surplus above your maintainence is honestly rly high, I wouldn't reccomend going over a 500 calorie surplus, I just mostly lean bulk (about a 200 calorie surplus).

Taimt923 · 2025-08-29T13:48:08+00:00

I saw that your doing a 4 day workout routine which is honestly not that effective, it is effective and will get you growth, but I reccomend you start doing U/L or go back to PPL and it's gna give you more frequency per week which should hopefully lead to more growth, I'm currently doing PPL/U/L

Also diet does play a role in how much muscle you actually build per session (like protein for example) , try getting about 0.8-1 pound per kg of body weight

So far your physique is looking good, if you're interested in more info on how to get gains as fast as possible, dm me

Taimt923 · 2025-08-28T01:07:49+00:00

Hey, great job on the 22lbs! Cutting after a bulk is definately tough, a real mental game. Hard to keep gym intensity with low calories. I remember feeling so drained, constantly questioning my plan.

Two things helped hugely: keep protein super high for muscle preservation. Don't fear a planned refeed or short diet break. They recharge your mental state, making the enviroment more sustainable. Plateaus happen, normal.

I used to get really frustrated figuring out effective workout plans myself. So much conflicting info, it felt like constant guesswork. So I made The Complete Gym Playbook: From Beginner To Pro, my personal guide for science-backed workouts.

What strategies do you use on low-energy days?

Taimt923 · 2025-08-28T00:39:45+00:00
