Basic Fitness Question Thread

What's up everyone! Hope you all are doing well today and crushing your goals like always. I have some questions for you

1. What training splits do all you follow?
2. Do you follow any specific diet?
3. What fitness channels/people do you follow?

I do a back/bi, chest/tri,legs/shoulder slit for a few months then go to back/tri,chest/bi,legs shoulders for a few months to shock my body.

I don’t follow any specific diet but I do intermittent fasting often

I follow some fitness youtube channels for some workouts but other than that I just do whatever I feel like doing that day at the gym

Just stick with it and be disciplined. Just because you aren't getting sore doesn't mean your muscles aren't growing

1. I work legs twice per week, 2 upper body days, 1 full body cardio HIIT day, and 1 day with a personal trainer.
2. I do not follow a specific diet, i just try to eat healthy but also allow myself some treats. Generally try to keep it 85-90% clean for the week.
3 On YouTube I follow Athlean X, Alan Roberts, Burn Boot Camp, Funk Roberts, and JTM Fit.

What kind of stuff does your personal trainer teach you?

It'll be things that I don't normally do at the gym. For example on Friday she had me doing zercher squats, supersetted with one legged squat with a kettlebell. It's great to have someone that knows more then me and can give me new things to do on my own.

Yeeah that's awesome but they're also pretty expensive

Most trainers know exactly fuck all..
Stay away from complicated instagram exercises. They do nothing but complicate things.
When choosing a work out ask only one thing?
Did Arnold do this when he was training?
Eat six good quality meals a day (not McDonald's)
And train hard.
Bench press for example... You might start with just the bar for 20 reps. Then add 10 lbs a side after each set. 4 sets of twelve is a fucking warm up. Ten sets gets you strong.
