1) Pigging-out on junk food is terrible, especially compared to simply learning to love healthy foods. 2) Learning to cook is far better than relying on most supplements, for financial and nutritional reasons. 3) I get only benefits from cardio, with no noticable trade-offs. 4) Even a little exercise is far better than none at all. 4) Lateral Raises are best done with light weight and with the form demonstrated by Jeff Cavaliere. 5) Don't neglect legs or low-back. Exercise can help the joints here, despite the false alarms I heard from older lifters who didn't understand proper form. 6) The overall psychological benefits to fitness and health are most important for me. 7) SLEEP is the most important "nutrient" AND "exercise". 8) Related to the previous two things, stress-management is a core dynamic in the interplay between muscle growth and psychological fitness. 9) Kiwis, blueberries, blackberries, avocados, tofu and salmon are some of my best friends. 10) Eat oatmeal regularly, because fiber's extremely important. 11) Fish Oil, Creatine and Whey/Soy are worth the investment. 12) Have a more measured appreciation of caffeine, avoiding extremes of high doses or pure abstinence, and instead taking regular breaks for re-sensitization.

One of the biggest mistakes I made early on was that I set such an unrealistic goal for myself. I'm an avid rock climber and I'm pretty lean only about 130 lbs and about 5'8 tall. I wanted to gain 20-25 lbs of muscle and I tried to just eat as much as I could and workout super hard. But, about 2 years later I'm still 130.Eventually I wised up and realized that a true goal is to just focus on healthy progress and to focus on exercises and diet that work for me. (obviously my exercises mainly pertain to improve my rock climbing ability although I do mix in some antagonist muscle exercises to stay balanced). And since changing my focus, I've learned that I'm actually getting better and stronger and not just bigger. Another huge benefit to my change of focus was that now, I actually feel confident in my physique and I don't judge myself as hard for not being able to put on weight.

I am 16 and I always had thought that I have the knowledge to workout by my own and make my own plan and diet as I watched videos of Jeff, Greg doucette, athlean-X etc, but after the cut I performed succeeding my first bulk, my weight reduced to a crazy level. Turns out my caloric deficit was so damn low, like I was eating 1400 calories per day. It really made me feel depressed and broken. Right now I am trying to count my calories strictly, watch my weight daily (the biggest mistake I did was not watching my weight at all) and not go by my feelings. I hope everything goes alright. My dad was a lifter in his old days and he used to give one these "oldy-bro" advises and was against my cutting diet, I often rediculed him but now karma hit me baaad. Hope my lean bulking plan pays off.

Word. I've lost so much progress from ego lifting and the subsequent disc, hip, knee and shoulder injuries, and then spending lots of time on rehab. Yet it took many injuries before I finally leaned my lesson. That being said, if I had never been injured I wouldn't have spent nearly as much time researching the importance of mobility, addressing weak glutes and core and just bio-mechanics in general so there was something to be gained from being reckless I guess lol.

I started lifting for real about 3 years ago, when I was 53. I've always lifted a little, to compliment martial arts training, but now weight lifting is 90% of what I do. I was lucky enough to do most things right because my sons researched it all on KZbin/Internet, one of their sources being you. So now I look better than I've done in many years, I have zero injuries, I am certainly a lot stronger than I've ever been and I am still progressing well. I think people like you and Jeff (AthleanX) are a blessing to people with good intentions but little knowledge like me. So thank you for all you are doing.

I think the most important thing is finding the workout routine you really like. For me its a full body workout 2-3 times a week and going for a run 1-2 times a week with 1 day break. And playing football on the weekends. And if you can't excite yourself for anything there is a saying that you have to do things for a constant period until it becomes part of your life. At the beginning you will be motivated, after 2-3 Months you will probably loose your motivation. But if you keep your workout routine throught this period you will eventually integrate it into your lifestyle and cant live without it.

If EDUCATION had been a bigger part of high school physical training, I feel like people would have a better understanding of their bodies, how to fuel them appropriately and how to succeed. MACROS and how to calculate them would have been a GAME CHANGER for a lot of us. It’d be like learning a second language. It would just be a PART of you.

my advice is do a upper lower body workout 2x a week. do chest back and shoulder press and on legs do squats and lunges as they build the legs fast. but the main thing is to read what rep range to go through. and most importantly you only need a few sets per body part and you will get big by not overtraining.

I would add rest and sleep important and if at all possible at least for first 2-3 months get a good trainer, when starting out this is vital for proper form, safety and efficiency, save a tone of time getting off on the right track with correct exercises - I was holding back for years as wanted to go to gym but was intimidated and scared by variety of weights and machines. As a 57 year old male I started weightraining last year with a great trainer in London, and despite being an "older" fat - thin guy (little muscles - 3 months pregnant stomach and a history of never building much muscle) I have made amazing progress in all areas.... I would also add be in it for the long term at least 1 year plus - don't be the "can I do it in 1 month" club, even after as little as 2-3 months hard work you will see some encouraging and motivating results that will propel you forward. If I can build muscle and improve my physique with my age, atrophy, hormones, craptotah genetics against me anyone can...thats my final add, believe and know you can develop a great body whatever your starting point and enjoy it.... plus if you only train 3 or 4 times a week make those sessions count !

Speaking of influencers, Jack LaLanne was the biggest influence on my fitness aspirations, from age 7 in 1957, to the present day. Nearly 73 now, I am finding it necessary to adjust poundages downward, partly due to muscle ageing, but also joint issues. The point though is to keep at it. The hardest part of any workout is getting started. Even now, as a resident of Geezerville, after a bracing 90-minute workout I feel 30 or more years younger. Not sliding into lethargy is paramount; aches and pains of older age are exacerbated by inactivity but relieved by exercise, as vigorous as one can muster. Maintaining a positive outlook, doing a lot of stretching, running as much as my knees will allow, and being involved in worthwhile pursuits all help with quality of life in the retirement lane. Ya know, Jack at 96 was still working out 2 hours daily, doing bench flyes with a pair of 50 lb dumbbells., for example. Not bad for a near-cententarian.

A big thing that helped me, was recording what I did every day for my overall goal of shaping my body how I wanted. It helps keep you on track, and motivated, and it let's you able to see the progress when it is slow and you can't see it. Mine started in a jail sentence, wanted to not waste another 6 months of my life with nothing to show for it. I tried working out b4 , I'd make it a few days maybe weeks but then it ended. But when I made a calander to count down the days until my release, I also started working out, and I wrote down what I did everyday. Chest was my favorite, and no lie, I could only do 10 push-ups in a clip, and only 3 sets and I literally couldn't do any more. I was so frustrated because I assumed I could do 30 pushups easily. Anyway I wrote down every day how much protein I was able to get that day, what exercise, sets and reps.. and I did this every day atn2:30 to 3:30 at lockdown. I went from 10 push-ups a set, 30 max , to 900 a session, incould do a clip of 50 at once, but usually did sets of 20-30 depending on my day. I still have the ragged old tainted piece of notebook paper, that looks like trash but it was the beginning of my self confidence that I could achieve my goals if I really went for them. Also, when I got out, I could do more overall than most the people I met that started around when I did, and they had the use of weights, enough food, protein supplements, equipment, trainers.. I had only my body n weight to use, never enough to eat, no protein besides the 18 g of what they supply you with daily of protein, and my only weights were garbage bags filled with water. Taught me that you don't need anything to get into shape. Just determination.

I like what Jeff said about genetics. When I began lifting, I was a 20 year-old adult male weighing a measly 80 pounds- my bar was so low; even lower than a female at my same height. That being said, if I would have just given up before starting, I would have never gotten to where I am now.

I’m 38. I got into the lifting game late in life, but I’m sure I’ve been doing it fewer years than Jeff. Develop an early appreciation for performance development. Aesthetics are awesome, but take time to recognize the increase in your physical abilities that you observe along the way, and it’ll go a long way to helping you enjoy the time you’re investing. Don’t worry that you may not be able to lift X number of pounds or don’t have the physique you want yet. Rather, reflect on how much work and effort it takes to improve from lifting X to Y. You earned that. Stick with it and adhere to your diet and rest. Listen to Jeff. You’ll reach your goals.
