Body weight exercises can be fantastic for weight loss and keeping the muscle you already have, but if you’re serious about weight training you’ll need a gym with a squat rack, bench, barbells, and a spot to do pull-ups, chin-ups, and dips to be most efficient. And for starters try to use some kind of creatine .

I am 40 years old trying to build muscle and just be healthy. I'm taking supplements for protein, creatine and pre workouts. I eat about 5 meals a day. I'm 6'2, 203pds. I work out 4 to 5 days a week for 40 mins day. My goal is to put on 15 pds of muscle.I see changes in strength more than seeing changes in my body. I feel like body is working against me because of my age. And suggestions or routines would help. Thank you.

What's the average amount of muscle/weight gain would you say for a male focusing on strength training for 22 months? At 5'10" I've went from 300lbs to 187lbs doing 70% and the rest weight machines. I hated having loose skin, so I focused on a full body strength training program in January 2018 and been focusing on that 100% since then. I have been using adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable level bench. I've kept increasing weight throughout the journey, eating 5 times a day and started using Dymatize ISO 100. I'm at a weight of 235 now. Feeling stronger than ever, but scared if the weight is going up too fast or much. Ive had to switch to athletic style jeans instead of regular style and go up a size since they get tighter at the thighs due to muscle gains. Would you say my rate is going correctly? Is there a plataue soon to come with Newbie Gains?
Here is my workout plan:
Monday: Dumbbell bench press - 3 sets of 10 reps, Incline dumbbell press - 3 sets of 10 reps, Dumbbell squats - 4 sets of 10 reps, Alternate dumbbell curls - 3 sets of 10 reps, Dumbbell Pullover - 3 sets of 10 reps, Ab Crunches - 4 sets of 15 reps
Wednesday: Arnold press - 3 sets of 10 reps, Alternate front dumbbell raises - 3 sets of 10 reps, Dumbbell rows - 3 sets of 10 reps, Dumbbell stiff legged deadlifts - 3 sets of 10 reps, Ab Crunches - 4 sets of 15 reps
Friday: Dumbbell deadlifts - 4 sets of 10 reps, Incline dumbbell press -3 sets of 10 reps, Dumbbell Lunges - 3 sets of 10 reps, Alternate dumbbell curls - 3 sets of 10 reps, One arm dumbbell extensions - 3 sets of 10 reps, Ab Crunches - 4 sets of 15 reps

Hey there!
Before I ask my question I'll give you some information to help you out.
I am an 18 year old female who gains and loses weight really easily. I believe that I gain and lose muscle easily although because I am naturally a bit squishy (? I dunno how to describe it) its hard for me to really see the muscle that I'm building up because of this.
I try to work out everyday for around an hour. I mostly do weight lifting and jog a bit (it really hurts my ankles, my friends say it might be because I have big legs).
I want to build a lot of muscle and be able to see it too...I guess you can say I want to look like chun-li or something lol.
Any advice? Tips? Motivation?

Hello, I am 18 and looking to build some muscle while also shaving off a few pounds. I used to be an athlete but haven’t worked out or done anything in a while. I’m looking to gain muscle to look better but I’m lacking the information for the right workouts and diets since there is so much i formatting it’s overwhelming. If someone could point me in the right directing that would be great

Fairly new to fitness, so my question is how much sleep should i be getting? Is it ok to do 5-6 hrs and still make gains, or do I need 7-8 for recovery.

Little background I guess. I'm 22, 5'6", 128lbs. I'm in school but still stay pretty active, workout 4 days a week about 30-45 minutes a day. I'm eating about 2300 calories a day, around 160g of protein, 250g of carbs, and 60-70g of fat.
I've been working out for a while but just started tracking about 3 months ago. I was a runner before but when I decided I wanted to focus on building muscle I stopped. Over the past 3 months doing the things listed above I have gained no weight at all, muscle or fat. I'm not seeing any muscle growth really and I'm wondering what I could be doing wrong.
Am I not eating enough, not working out enough? Am I expecting results too fast? (Felt like in 3 months I should see something)

Anyone here who thinks getting in the best shape of his life is too complicated, too confusing, too time demanding?
If that's you, you are probably right !
If you have no plan to follow, if you are doing useless exercises, if you are half-doing it, if you are not progressing, YES it is going to be complicated and basically... impossible.
So if that's you, write what part(s) exactly your missing in your opinion

As an ectomorph, I have difficulty putting on mass as my metabolism is high. I'm 16, 6'0, and weigh 65kg (I turn 17 this year in July). Would it be possible for me to put on 10kg by next year September?

Hi. I went from 235 to 185 on keto and now that the unwanted weight is gone, I'm ready to build muscle. So I started eating around 2500 calories a day along with 100 grams of protein through protein powder and meats, all while lifting every other day. While I'm seeing gains in strength and size in my arms, I'm also seeing an increase in my stomach. Is this a sign my calories are too high or is this to be expected and will just have to be dealt with once I've grown some of the muscle that I'm after? I also stopped running for fear of eating up all my extra calories that are supposed to be going toward muscle building. Thanks in advance

So I'm 30. 6'3 208 pounds. I know I have a very weak chest and I'm hoping to find some possible answers/help on how to make it stronger.
I've had 2 open heart surgeries and just recently been cleared to work out about 5 months ago. I've also had 2 mini strokes in the past year so really going all out and pushing myself or trying to figure out my Max weight is difficult/scary for I don't want to tear my hear or faint.
Anyway. I know I'm doing my workouts correct for I spend a lot of time focusing. On the particular muscle I'm working on that day with understanding how it works and contracting it and what not. But it seems every time I work out my chest I only feel a burn or sore afterwards in my armpit area and my front delt I think it's called/shoulder area.. whether I'm doing bench, push-ups, incline, fly etc.. it's always the same. So I'm wondering if 5 years of being on weight restrictions has caused me to use my shoulders more in daily activities whether from a subconscious fear of hurting my chest/heart, or if it's normal to only feel a burn in the armpit area..
I do notice my chest has become more trimmed and I do see and feel bigger muscle in all areas of my chest. But ive noticed my shoulders are a lot more muscular than my chest which makes me think I'm using my shoulders more... If this makes any sense. I'll even go to really really light weights just to really make sure I have that mind muscle relationship during chest exercises, but i still only feel a burn in my pit area.. anyway, and response on the matter would be appreciated.

Hi I'm a skinny 14 year old looking to build muscle! I eat a pretty healthy amount of food as well as a decent diet but can't seem to build muscle! I have a York multigym in my garage and I'm just starting to use it! Please give me an idea of how long it will take before I get visible results! Cheers

Hey everyone!!!
I'd appreciate if you guys could clear something up for me. I'm trying to slim down and build muscle at the same time. I am diet and I have lost weight, but I don't see much muscle growth?
Do big people need as much protein to build muscle? I am eating chicken breast and lean beef, but less than a pound per day. I also eat two eggs and two slices of turkey for breakfast.
Is it necessary to still drink protein shakes? I know they don't make you fat. I just thought the fat reserves might be enough? What do you guys think?
Also, I have a routine. Every day I work a different muscle group and each week I add 5lbs to the weights.
Thanks in advance!
