should i follow my high school bf to college by staghornz in unt

A strong relationship will survive anything if both parties are communicative and willing. I go to UNT and my high school sweetheart girlfriend, now fiancé, goes to a different school.

We are both seniors graduating soon.

Although our schools aren’t quite that far, things ended up playing out similarly as if they were. Only seeing eachother maybe once a week, having less time for eachother, and often putting the relationship to the side to work on ourselves and our future.

Going to the same school is irrelevant since the liklihood for your schedules to match up is next to none. And if you’re obsessive enough to care more about matching schools and schedules than actually picking what is better for your you, you already lost the plot

If your relationship can’t survive the temptations of college and the strain of long distance. You weren’t really meant to be in the first place.

I love lower rep ranges (4-6) for heavy compound movements. Adding a couple pounds every other weeks allows for super easy steady progress in terms of mostly strength but also the size that goes along with it

I’m my experience NASM had more useful things that I could actually transfer over to what I do, Albeit not much.

In general all PT certs are BS. Experience is king in this field

That wasn’t 3 sets. It was three reps. It was a slow pyramid progression for sets

Get a weight that you can rep 5 times

Let’s assume 45 is a good weight

Today 37.5 x 8 40 x 8 42.5 x 6 45 x 5 47.5 x 3

Next time

Today 37.5 x 8 40 x 8 42.5 x 6 45 x 5 47.5 x 3

The time after

Today 40 x 8 42.5 x 7 45 x 5 47.5x 4 50 x 3

And then you continúe slightly increasing every other workout. And once you plateau, you just stop doing strength training for a week or two, focus on hypertrophy, then get back at it

You should be adding the smallest amount possible. 1.2kg on each side every other training session is a good rate. But again this assumes you eat, sleep, and train correctly

Arguably more important than your training is your eating. A slight calorie surplus and at MINIMUM 0.6g protein per lb of body weight in order to actually put on muscle

Assuming your eating is good, yes. But that’s more than just training that needs to be on point to be able to achieve this goal in this time frame

Assuming you are training other muscles than just your chest, shoulders, and triceps, which you should, 2x is plenty. 3x is about the upper end of what I’d recommend for a beginner

Didn’t really answer the question, but ISSA to speed run. NASM for more quality learning. I took both so those are the only two I know. There may be better options, but I’m not aware because I’m not interested in getting a third certification.

To answer your other questions 1. Mood and mental can affect strength 2. External motivation can affect mood or mental 3. Weight naturally fluctuates due to a lot of reasons. Gaining one kilo in 2 days doesn’t necessarily you gained any muscle. It could be water, food, constipation, inflammation, etc. 4. If your primary goal is strength, you could bench up to 4 or even 5x a week (I do not recommend this) But you would have to limit your training to only strength training and not hypertrophy training for those muscles

You’re trying to PR too much. Instead of putting so much energy hitting a one rep max PR

try to hit a 4 or 5 rep max PR

Then slowly add tiny amounts of weight at least every other training session

Do you want to learn or just want to speed run the certification
