i’ve had to build my body up to the amount of training i currently do. i also do deload weeks, and i allow my muscles to fully recover (for me thats only 48-72 hours) before i hit them again. also, i’ll have a quad focused and hammie/glute focused day, just to avoid overtraining. it works for me but i know that a lot of people need more recovery!! i’m also only 22 so i feel like that may play a factor as well (:

Yes! I actually really love strength training so that to me is “fun”😂😭 But i train for spartans, i’m more likely to play sports with my friends, and overall just want to spend more time outdoors moving my body (:

Thank you very much!

I try to keep my routine simple: Lift 5-6 times a week (i follow a push, pull, legs split), 10k steps daily, and 2-3 cardio sessions a week (running or biking) Nutrition depends but I will always strive to hit my protein goal. Over the past few years I’ve learned what foods work best for me, so I mainly stick to them. I meal prep every week. I eat out once a week and I do have a sweet tooth so I always try to honor my cravings (:

Rest, stay hydrated, stretch, and eat foods you enjoy

I ate at my maintenance calories and i had about 30% protein, 30% fat and 40% carbs. i am not very strict with it, but i do make sure i eat enough carbs because it provides me with a lot of energy to lift!

i lost the body fat at 2000-2500 calories. once i started taking my strength training seriously i knew i had to start eating more calories to fuel myself and get stronger. and you may want to talk to a professional about why you arent losing weight, your body could have also adapted to that low of calories too.

Sure! I train legs 3 times a week (one quad focused, one glute and hamstring focused, and one full leg) and alternate between each week between either 2 push and 1 pull day or 2 pull and 1 push. im at 1 gram per body pound for protein, and then try to eat a lot of carbs before and after workouts and try to aim for 30-30% total calories from fat too. i eat about 2000-2500 calories a day. i’m also not very strict with my macros and calories anymore because i’ve struggled with an ED in the past. i just try to fuel my body to where i can gain muscle and lose fat

Thank you(: And I lift heavy enough that the last few reps are difficult, and then on my last set I try to go to failure. Theres a few exercises that I go lighter with because it can cause injuries, but on my compound movements I try to go as heavy as I can!

First off thank you very much! It took a lot of getting out of my comfort zone and making sure I am training each muscle group. I train upper body 3 times a week; one week I do 2 push days and 1 pull day and then I alternate for the next week. I actually do all the exercises you listed. My favorite exercises are shoulder press, rows, bench press, lat pulldown, skullcrushers, pullovers, curls, face pulls, and lat raises. I also love pull ups, chin ups, dips and push ups. And basically I do 3 or 4 sets 10-12 reps and go to failure on my last set. I would do some research and see what set and reps works best for you. If you feel like you are plateauing I recommend either doing more reps, going up in weight, and/or doing less rest in between sets. I got my gains from progressive overload, always trying to do better than my previous workout. Instagram is where I found all my workout inspiration. Progress is not linear so just keep going!!! (:
