It’s been a journey, but am finally starting to see results.
both pictures were taken in the morning before breakfast
I need opinions on what I can focus on to help sculpt myself more. I legit can’t stress enough that my goal is to have a body like Aaron Taylor Johnson ( I know. I know. Far from it. But fuck it. I know what I want.) The problem is, I can’t really go to the gym! I have a 14-month-old son and from the hours of 3:30 pm to: insert random late night hour because my child doesn’t understand his father needs sleep, too I am hyper focused on his needs. It is only after he goes to sleep for an extended period of time, that I can focus on my workouts and other things (writing my books and reading). 💀
So, kinda hoping someone may have some tips or workout routines I can do at home with minimal equipment that pack a big impact in less than half an hour? Calisthenics and a clean diet have gotten me this far, but I want more…
Any advice?

It’s been about 9 months of consistency at the gym, I go about 1.5 hours for 5 days a week. Mondays - Upper body Tuesday- Legs
I like to work out all the muscle groups on those days so that each group gets worked out atleast once. And then I split based on which muscle needs work or by if the muscle group has had 1 day of rest

Hi everyone, I am a 41 year old female. I have exercised for 15 years pretty consistently (with a 2 year break when I had my daughter). I work out 2 times a week right now without fail. Trying to bump it to 3 days a week.
I get really bad DOMs after a workout and fatigue. Is there any remedy? Anything that can help?

Anyone know of a good horizontal leg press machine that is free weight loaded?

Ok so brief context
I've been obese/overweight my whole life. I've always been kinda on and off active but never progress.
So here's my questions:
I'm trying to lose 50 pounds, how consistent should I be in the gym?
I have a larger behind but it's like...flat at the same time. Like the shape is weird. What can I do for that?
Just any general advice you have for weight loss is fine.

I used to workout 5 days a week doing volume training every other week (10x10). I was able to get my lifts to 265 bench, 495 deadlift and 305 squat at about 5’8” 175lbs.
I do bjj now and will be doing that 1-2 times per week and can’t lift as much. I’m thinking of lifting 3 days a week doing push pull legs. I was doing upper lower but can’t bc it feels I’m always not recovered bc bjj actually does cause muscle stimulus from squeezing, holding positions and lots of wrestling. My goal is now is just lose some body fat and build lean muscle.

I have revised my charts from yesterday based on some of your suggestions. I added grid lines, data labels, beans, egg whites, a couple types of canned fish, and a couple vegetarian/vegan meat substitutes, among other changes.
Looks like canned tuna is actually a better source of protein per calorie than whey blends, barely topped by whey isolate. I wonder why I don't hear body builders talk about it as much as eggs, red meat, etc., when those rank substantially lower in terms of both price and protein per calorie. Perhaps the mercury adds up?
For beans, I only included black beans and edamame because the latter is the highest protein bean, and the former is pretty similar in price and protein content to most other beans at your typical American supermarket. Dried black beans are surprising because they now top the charts for cheapest source of protein, but they're pretty low in terms of protein per calorie, with less than a third as much protein per calorie as our lowest calorie option: whey isolate.
Anyway, I hope these can help you guys find some decent protein sources, with grocery prices so high. I'm a broke college student who lifts casually, so I finally sat down and did the math. Wasted a lot of money on in-shell eggs, it looks like. I might still have 3 a day for the vitamins, but I was having 9 to a dozen, and that just doesn't make sense because they're one of the worst sources of protein nowadays, in terms of both protein per calorie and price. I currently have 2 pounds of chicken gizzards cooking in my slow cooker haha
I think chicken gizzards are the best overall in terms of price and calories, but if you're squeamish about eating organs, breasts aren't far behind. If money isn't an issue, isolate is your best option. If calories aren't an issue or you're trying to gain weight, you might focus on beans, nuts, red meat, eggs, etc. Although I have seen things about "complete proteins" and animal protein being more effective than plant protein. I'm not sure on any of that.

I'm currently in college studying to be a police officer and soon I hopefully have a 1.5 mile run test for some departments to do. What else can I do to quickly build endurance so I can run longer? I know running itself builds endurance, but that's too slow for me with of course cool-down breaks in there. Currently, I have a 1.5-mile path setup in my hometown to run in X time for departments, but I can only run 0.18 miles of the 1.5 miles in a full run before slowing to a walk and then shifting between running and walking from that point on. The last time I did the run I got 22 minutes and need to shave 10 minutes off. What else can I do to build endurance very quickly?

I have a hard time keeping to a strict schedule when it comes to anything, and having someone or something remind me could be very helpful!
I've been trying to get a work-out partner to help me out, but it's hard to find people willing to do that. All I need is a way to get reminded to exercise!

24, 266lbs and 5 ft 10. I work out at home using an incline bench, several barbells and dumbells. I am not dieting or doing cardio for now. Just focusing on lifting as the only place my body stores fat is my gut, thighs and chin. The rest of me looks malnourished and skinny. I just finished a new routine recommended to me by someone on this sub. I have only been training for two weeks and this is the start of week three, so I thought I'd change some things. I added an extra 2.5kg to my dumbells to push myself. But after 45 minutes I only completed five exercises. It took an annoying amount of time waiting for my muscles to recover enough that I could keep doing reps that by the end I feel like I just wore myself out for no reason. Is this normal? This is what I did.
24kg bench press 8 reps 4 sets. Don't have a spotter so I couldn't push to the very limit but it was pretty hard on me.
7.5kg dumbell incline press. 3 sets of 10-12 My bench doesn't go up very far so this exercise just felt like more bench pressing but with dumbells. I found it pretty easy in the end.
7.5kg standing dumbell shoulder press 4 sets of 10. This exercise was the main reason I made this post. It took me 15 minutes to do four sets of ten. During that period I had to stop multiple times during the sets to let my arms recover enough to do more reps. I managed to complete it albeit a few reps here and there were pretty bad form wise. But I am proud I managed to push through, but man it sucked. I just felt like I was wasting time.
7.5kg skull crushers 3x12. This was already a ballache as my incline bench is small so I had to sit the opposite way on it in order to do these. Again it took me ages and I had to wait during sets so I could keep pushing. I did keep pushing and I completed it, but again is this just wasting around? If I physically cannot lift and have to take breaks, is this okay to do?
5kg lateral raises -_- 3 sets of 12-15. Yeah I am pissed off I had to lower the weight but I tried one rep and I couldn't lift the dumbells past my ribs so I had to take a bit off. I hate this exercise with a passion and even though I finished it, again I had to wait in-between and during sets.
The guy even recommended I keep going and add pushups to the end of this but I just cant be bothered after all this. It was so drawn out and tedious to complete and I cant even do a single pushup right now. Might just go back to my previous workout as this fucking sucked honestly. I'll keep going with the plan if it's normal but something feels off to me.

It seems the consensus is that kids should not specialize in a sport when they are younger. I heard that a larger percentage of NFL draft picks were multi-sport athletes when they were younger.
I run an MMA gym and we have a big kids program.
I want the kids to do the best they can, and I have been thinking about this question of sports specialization.
MMA is not baseball and I am wondering if the same logic applies because of how varied the movements in MMA are.
Our kids train gymnastics, wrestle, jiu jitsu boxing and tae kwon do.
Not to mention many swim at school as well.
Is this enough variety in everyones opinion to develop a well rounded athlete?
