Everybody trains different , everybody is at a different stage and a different place wanting different things & yet everybody’s an expert telling him to do this or do that , eat this, count these, don’t do that etc . I ignore 99% of it.

You have advice that is so good & such good results that you must share it ?

Mine is this.

Progressive resistance. Focus 100% on that and nothing else,

Your eating will be forced to keep up like magic & tale no effort . Count and measure nothing. You will eat everything in sight including spare carb's off other peoples plates, and the bones and fat of your meat! And you will look and feel amazing. Every day is a cheat day.

Even a bad day for gym becomes a good day if you can squeeze in a bit of progressive resistance beyond last weeks.

Good advice op. Mine would be anything is better than nothing. If your short on time done be out off going to the gym anyway. 30 minutes of hard work if its all you can fit in is still a good workout

If your aim is to maintain muscle, tone up or hypertrophy you need to eat lots of protein, about 1 gram per pound of body weight and limit carbs,

My number one tip: Enjoy it! - You won’t keep it up if you consider it a chore and dread each workout. Also (and linked to this) keep your workouts a bit varied, so as to avoid stagnation.

Good luck 😃👍🏻

Here’s another thing I realised a long time ago when I was stuck benching at about 90 kg and it seemed impossible to get to 100kg maybe 2 years and barely any progress and then within six months I was benching 115kg.

You will never be able to lift that heavy weight until you lift that heavy weight and get to know it.

Getting someone to help me lower 100kg, having them help me lift it and doing negative reps I learned what 100 kg bench would feel like before I was strong enough and the extra core and balance work you have to be able to do and then it was only a matter of time

For cardio endurance zone 2 of your heart rate (60% of max). For strength 3s up 3s down, you'll soon discover you don't need much weight

Exactly what I was going to say, no point in lifting heavy weights if your technique is shit.

My advice:

Warm up properly before starting, learnt that the hard way twice!

I agree with op progressive overload is the number 1 factor when it comes to stimulating hypertrophy

Train each set to failure or close to it

Train a muscle twice a week of recovery allows

A set of 5-30 reps produce the same degree of hypertrophy but a set of 5-8 comes with far less fatigue and can recover quicker and train thst bodypart again more frequently

Eat high protein minimum of 2.2 grams per kg bodyweight, I and every decent bodybuilder I know prefers higher I like 300-400g a day

Somewhere

You dont need as much volume as you think to pack on muscle. 4-6 sets per week, per muscle, 6-9 reps to failure or within 1-2 reps of failure.

Most people don't get close enough to failure and the stimulating reps hence they require higher volume to get to the reps that count.

Don’t use scales. Work on changing strength, shape or tone.

Focus on the reasons you want to be fit and healthy.

Use non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), the energy you expend for everything that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise. Park away from the entrances and walk a bit further, take the stairs, walk, cycle, fidget, standing desks…

Don’t eat shit food, don’t eat late at night.

If it’s winter and you’re really not feeling it, have a big portion of porridge some banana get a couple of coffees down you , give it an hour and head to the gym and your Hoodie and joggers, put some in saying hard for me on the headphones just do dead lifts. 10-15 sets then go home feeling fucking awesome

Only tip you need - take a copy of my profile pic and put it in your kitchen.

When you feel like reaching for the cookie jar just look at what abstaining from those extra calories will give you !!!!!
