Looking for online coaching...
Once upon a time, I hired Kalle Beck for a strength/strongman coach. I loved his programming, but it was only geared towards strongman.
I come from a crossfit background (I was a coach, and had both my strongman/power lifting certs), and am looking for online coaching similar in that vein.
I've more or less given up crossfit, and only want to concentrate on strength training, but want to train in the crossfit style if that makes sense. I want to borrow things from Olympic Lifting, Strongman, and Power lifting. I like the variety and tend to get bored just pushing out reps over and over and over again. Are there any online coaches that have that kind of coaching or expertise out there? Most of the ones I've found only specialize in one modality of training. Any recommendations, or suggestions?

Uneven strength correction for back pain
Tl:dr - from ignorance, I focused on machines for my chest, arms, legs and lats and got them strong. What exercises do I need to fix the resulting back pain?
Lots of questions at the end, feel free to only answer one or 2, any info helps
In highschool, my family had a gym membership, and I'd go fairly frequently because I had nothing else to do. All I'd do is lat pull downs, leg press, curls, cable pulls for my triceps, and chest fly's, about 10 reps a set, as many sets as I could manage (3-6). I had about 120 lbs for my late pull-down for each arm at one point, but now my back is fucked up. I'm wanting to build strength quickly in my neglected muscles (primarily my back and core) and know if I should work my lats at all while I do this, or wait until my back starts feeling better regularly to work on them again.
What exercises should I do, how many reps and sets should I do (bulk up first?) and how long until I can expect results? I'll have access to a full, state of the art gym until May.
I'll be going to the gym 3 days a week, should I work my back each day? What are good core exercises?
How do we train, and more importantly, why do we train like this?

Male with excessively large ass, how to squat+deadlift while minimizing gluteal growth?
I’m a male. I have a big ass. Part of it is because of caloric excess, part of it is because all my gains are going to my bum. Now I look really strange. I still want to do squats and deadlifts but want to get rid of my fat ass. How can I do this?

I only have access to a 20 kg barbell and two 5 kg dumbells. How can I take full advantage of them?
I only have access to a barbell that has 20 kg on it and a couple of 5 kg dumbells. How can I increase in strength with just these?
This is my routine so far: -Run for half a mile (warmup). -Bench press 10 times with the 20 kg. -15 biceps curl. -15 triceps kickback. -15 kneeling one arm row -10 lateral raise -10 Palms-Up Wrist Curl
I rest for 1 minute, then repeat the routine for a total of 5 sets. I want to get a stronger upper body but I don´t know if this is good enough. Should I repeat the routine more times? Or should I switch something about it? Is this routine too arm-related? I want my whole upper body to grow in strenght not just the arms. Apologies in case I have some errors in my writing, English is not my first language, and i don´t know any gym lingo.
EDIT: I go three times a week.
I won't break, I promise
How do i earn width on my arms?
My forearms are fine, i think. And when i flex, i am satisfied.
But the width of my biceps when looking straight in the mirror is something that i would like more of.
What arw good ways to build this?
And thank you!

Best method for rapid bench press reps count increase?
What strategy should I use to improve the number of bench press repetitions I can do in a row at a particular weight?
I made a wager with a friend that: in a month, we'll see who can do the most 135lb bench presses in a row. Loser pays the winner an amount based on the difference in reps.
Guidance to help improve my 135lb bench press repetition count the most in the next month would be appreciated. We're both men in our upper 30s, in average shape, work desk jobs, and know we can do three sets of ten at 135 lbs.

7 Photos To Make You Cry
Am I doing ok?
Hello everyone! I have just started a mini-program for myself for my goal of increasing my overall strength. I have been going to a gym and it is now my second week. Do mind that I literally just started to go to the gym, so ZERO is the starting point. And i do admit I am kinda weak considering I am a bit heavy (180 lbs). Also, it is a small gym (no squat rack, treadmill, and not much space for deadlifts)
Here's what I do - 3x/week, around 45 min - 1 hr per session
Monday is my "PUSH" day, I usually train chest, triceps, quads - Bench press (dumbell and bar) - Dips - Cable pulldowns (one-arm, kinda looks like dip but with one arm) - Seated chess press machine - Inclined Dumbell press - Dumbell fly (flat) - Squats while holding two 20 lb dumbells
Wednesday is my "PULL" day, usually train Back, Biceps - Lat pulldown machine - One-arm dumbell rows - Bent-over rows - T-bar row - Bar bicep curls (emphasizing on eccentric contraction) - Bent-over lateral raise
Friday is sort of whatever workout I may add to smaller muscle groups (here's a flaw of my program), so usually I just repeat some exercise or exercise my arms or try to improve my weak points (legs, squats, shoulders etc.)
I don't do any exercises in my off days and I have tried to lessen my calories to lose weight ( I want to eventually be better at Pull-ups and Dips and be able to handle my body weight through exercises better)
What are your thoughts? Any suggestions are welcome! Am I missing something? And how could I progress (besides the obvious of increasing resistance/weight)? Is it too light?
Thank you for taking the time to read.

Strength and Hypertrophy
In my routine I generally will go heavy with the first movements (not arms though) and then for the rest of the workout I generally work more of a hypertrophy style. An example of this would be of course Chest. I normally start with either 5 sets 5 or I will do 3 sets of 5 then 2 sets of 3. Then wide grip incline bench for 4 sets of 10-12. Dumbbell flys for 3 sets of 12 with a drop set on the last set. Then top it off with 3 sets of 12 for decline cable flys. Is this a good set up to be able to get stronger in my bench and also gain size in my chest? Please let me know thank you

Squatting everyday + SS, SL, GRSK...
Has anyone tried combining squatting everyday with one of these 3 day a week programs? And by everyday I mean 7 days a week ala John Broz or Cory Gregory. In theory if you did....
Would you follow the warm up to 1 rep at max then work down for volume reps like the squatting every day program? Or a mix of both systems?
Secondly, would there be an advantage to keeping the structure of the linear progression and timing of SS, SL etc versus the 5 day split structure Cory uses?
So, if you're not familiar the two options would be this:
Cory's method simplified
Monday: Squat and chest
Tuesday: Squat and pull
Wednesday: Squat and shoulders
Thursday: Squat and arms
Friday: Squat and chest/back
Saturday: Squat
Sunday: Squat
SL Hybrid
Monday: Squat and bench press, bent over row (A)
Tuesday: Squat (maybe add dips and chins, ab work)
Wednesday: Squat and overhead press, deadlift (B)
Thursday: Squat (maybe add dips and chins, ab work)
Friday: Squat and bench press, bent over row (A)
Saturday: Squat (maybe add dips and chins, ab work)
Sunday: Squat (maybe add dips and chins, ab work)
Then alternate to a B, A, B week.
Sorry for a stupid post. Just curious if anyone has played around with these possibilities.

ADVICE NEEDED: Getting surgery in 6 months, will not be able to lift for 4 weeks!
I've been consistently lifting for a year now. I'd say I'm an intermediate lifter. I will absolutely not be able to lift heavy for 4 weeks. Maybe light weights medium intensity at week 3. I will be able to walk around within a few days of surgery but my intake of foods will be restricted to liquids for the first 2 weeks (my jaws will be banded shut).
QUESTION: What steps can I take to minimize muscle loss?
-
I will be using olive oil, mass gainer shakes to maintain caloric intake with liquids. I probably won't lose weight if all goes well, but I may lose muscle and get fatter in the process.
-
Will training for hypertrophy in the 6 months leading to surgery result in less muscle loss than say training for power?

Diffuse pains in arms causing extreme restlessness in the middle of the night.
Hello community. I recently experienced this very unconfortable phenomenon, on the day of beginning my workout program after a couple of days break, because of .. well .. pain in my arms. I got through my program with only very minor pain and some feeling of exhaustion doing more advanced sets and apart from feeling very tired after my workout, which is usual, I felt nothing in terms of pain, untill I woke up. And it wasn't even that the pain itself was bad, it was very very subtle. But I felt an extreme urge to thrash around my body to relieve it of excess energy and make the sort of spinning sensation seize, especially located in arms, which succeeded after an excruciating thirty minutes of thrashing in bed, getting out of bed and spinning my arms around and moving my body.
I have experienced this before, maybe 4 times the last year, always extremely unpleasant. I have also experienced waking up to both of my arms sleeping, which has been happening more the last couple of months.
My program right now is focused on lowered repetitions, more sets, learning new techniques and keeping good form.
Here's a summary of a days work:
eating @ 10 training @ 11:00 total time: 2 hours
narraw and wide floor/elevated push-ups 12 x 6
Plache 1 x 100 sideplance 2 x 50 bridge 1 x 50 seconds
ring-roll-out (easy) 12 x 4
Plache 1 x 100 seconds - sideplance 2 x 50 seconds - bridge 1 x 50 seconds
pull ups 10-10-8-8 (biceps)
weighed squat lift (40 lb or 18 kg) 3 x 12
hollow body windshield wiper 15-12-12-12
dips 10-8-6
afternotes: - minor pain and exhaustion @ biceps and dips
I space my sessions out, so I get two or three days off, where I usually swim instead and do yoga ( ex. workout, swim, swim and yoga, workout, bike and swim, yoga, swim, workout ect. )
While I have moved forward with certain muscles groups, I have moved back with others and I really wanna keep up a consistent schedule without taxing my body too much. I'm trying to gain weight / muscle. Right now at 76 kg / 167 lb and want to reach 85 kg / 187 lb, if possible, by the end of this year.
Can anyone identify my experience or suggest what they think would be best to do, in my situation ? Thank you.

All I have is a cage, barbell, and a bench... What can I do?
Looking for some input. I've been lifting for ~7 years, always at the gym. I'm an athletic guy, in my thirties. I just bought myself a squat rack that doubles as a bench. It has a pull up bar, I have 300lbs of weight and a barbell. I own nothing else.
Anyone have any routines I could be doing? Looking to do something akin to the 5/3/1 stuff, but I have no dumbbells or anything.
Thanks.
Obesity, Form, and Personal Training
I'm looking for a point in the right direction, if possible. I am an "otherwise healthy" age 29 completely unconditioned male who probably has less practical experience with strength training than your grandma. Also, my BMI is 44. I had weight loss surgery about 2 months ago (I am cleared from a medical perspective for weightlifting). My primary concern with starting a strength training program is getting form right, because I've seen plenty of people fuck themselves up, sometimes permanently. In my mind, the best way to accomplish this is to enlist an experienced and certified personal trainer. However, my intuition tells me that the morbidly obese beginner represents a special challenge in personal training. I'm clumsy, my center of gravity is weird, if I even try doing body weight squats I fall on my ass, etc. I do not want to just present myself to a random personal trainer and expect them to deal with it, then come out the other end with less money, lost time, and a negative experience on both our parts. Has anyone had experience from either end in dealing with a problem like this? Are there "specialists" in working with obese clients, and how do you find them? Or are those the right questions to ask?

How To Fix Wrist Pain - Working Out
Fierce 5 dumbbell program vs dumbbell PPL
Hi, I’ve recently been getting interested into weight lifting. I recently came off of a year long diet and dropped about 50 pounds with mainly cardio and very light weights (think 5 lbs in each hand). My current stats are: 19F/5’6”/117lbs I want to gain some muscle mass and strength, as I don’t have much at all right now. As a beginner, I don’t think I’m quite ready to lift the barbell- it weighs 45 pounds before adding weight, so I thought it would be best to increase my strength with a dumbbell routine. After some research, I narrowed it down to these 2: http://ift.tt/2DfEyDy /r/Fitness/comments/2e79y4/dumbbell_ppl_proposed_alternative_to_dumbbell/ As a total noob to this, I’m having trouble figuring out the pros and cons of each. Are one of these routines more suited to my purposes/better for a beginner? Thanks so much!
Program critique feedback request
First time weightlifter here, F/28. Goal is to obviously get wicked strong, coming from a previous office barely ever worked out before.
Was wondering if the routine I have been using for my "program" is hitting all the things I should be. It almost feels like i'm missing things and doesnt take me more than an hour.
WARM UP (daily)
Monday
- DL
- dumbbell press
- chin ups
- front squats
- dips
- reverse crunches (I do mine from hanging on my chinup bar to also help improve my grip)
Wednesday
- Hip thrusts
- bench press
- t bar rows
- landmines
- push ups
Friday
- Loaded back extensions
- overhead press
- back squats
- dumbbell rows
- arm curls
On my off days and after lift days I do 25-40 mins of yoga as well to increase flexibility as well.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated or a point towards where this question could be answered. Thanks y'all!

Help for gym noob
Hello,
I have posted here before under different throwaway accounts. I'm a 32 year old male, 5'11", ~165 lbs, hard gainer. Trying to gain weight constantly but my appetite is affected by clinical depression, currently I'm having trouble staying at my current weight. Back in 2015 I started doing workouts at home using dumbbells. The programs I followed were P90X, P90X3, Body Beast, and A Week of Hard Labor. Recently I started feeling like I wasn't making any progress even though I was trying to use heavy dumbbells as much as I could, and every time I asked here there was one response I would always get: dumbbells are not enough, you have to go to the gym.
I am also diagnosed with general anxiety and I have been terrified of the idea of going to the gym because I am highly intimidated by other men, and afraid of embarrassing myself or being made fun of (that's how I grew up which probably is how the anxiety started in the first place). I'm having financial difficulties, too, which was another excuse to skip the gym.
After posting here a few weeks ago and receiving replies that troubled me a lot I said fuck it, asked my mom and sister to send me money (which was not the easiest thing to do as an adult with a job), and signed up for gym as well as personal training for 5 sessions. There are 4 personal trainers but as far as I know only one of them focuses on strength training. He is a sports science major, so he knows his stuff.
However, I am very frustrated about how the personal training sessions are going. Here is the thing: I don't know what I should be doing in terms of lifting, and I don't want to think about it because I already have a shit ton of stuff in my mind I worry about. That's why I always used training programs at home; I knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and the weights to do it with. So, that's what I was expecting from the trainer: to tell me what to do 4 times a week where each day focuses on a muscle group to build strength (for the next few months). I think I have the discipline for it (I am there when they unlock the doors at 5 am, mainly to keep anxiety under control since it's not too crowded at that time) and I want to do it, but I need a well-defined, highly structured plan to follow, because that's how I do things. But I'm not getting it.
This is what happened so far: I have had three sessions with the trainer. First two sessions he did some fitness test and showed me how to use some of the machines. These are 1-hour sessions, by the way. For gaining strength he told me to do 1 to 3 sets of 12 reps. In the third session he showed me how to do deadlifts and squats --without weights, because the whole time there were people working out on that area, so I still don't know how to do them with actual weights-- and some basic upper body stuff using dumbbells which I already fucking knew because that's what I have been doing for a few years now. I have the fucking dumbbells at home, why am I risking having an anxiety attack to go to the gym then? When I asked him what I should be doing this week until I see him again on the weekend, he said stuff like "I don't know what your body is like, try different machines, branch out, etc." I mean, really? (He gave me a similarly ambiguous response when I asked about the gym rules and etiquette. "Just don't be a jerk." I'm glad there's stuff online to read about that.) For the sessions he seems to have some type of plan on his mind, but to me the whole thing feels completely random. All I needed was, give me a basic plan for building strength that incorporates the fundamental exercises, and show me how to do those safely. Done. It shouldn't be that hard. He told me that he thought I was doing well, but that doesn't help really.
The other thing is, I feel like I did a lot more at home by myself and actually covered the whole body. I haven't done a single crunch since I started going to the gym. I haven't had a core day. I haven't done anything for my back except some pull ups. I feel like in last few weeks I fell behind and went backwards.
I need some advice. I need to take control of the situation. I have two sessions left, which I think is not enough to fix this mess. Previously I had been advised to follow a program like StrongLifts, maybe I should pick one of those. I may end up purchasing another 5 training sessions (I don't even know how the fuck I'm going to afford it) and tell him to teach me how to do the exercises in the program and nothing else.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm just so frustrated. I took a huge step out of my comfort zone and...this is not how it should go. Please advise, preferably without shredding me to pieces (I'm a fucking snowflake. There, I said it.)
Thanks.

How much protein do you REALLY Need? w/ Eric Helms PhD
Euro-trip Episode I: Pukepocalypse
Sharp pull on my shins when squatting low. Like I'm stretching a tendon. Just below the knee.
Coming back from 3 weeks of Christmas holidays. I get an uncomfortable pull in my shins on squat movements. Feels like something tendon, not muscle. Just below the knee. It's not sharp enough to be painful but at another level it could very well be. It's like something is pulling there when I sit deep on squats. Is this known to any of you?
Working out after tooth extraction.
Hello all. I have had a tooth extracted, where they had to cut the gum to get to the root. The instructions they gave me say to limit physical activity for 2 days after the procedure. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I have seen different things online saying to wait 24 hours upto 10 days before exercising again. They fear is that the increased blood pressure might knock loose the blood clot or the stitches. Personally I am also worried because I either clench my teeth ( obviously I try not to) or put pressure with my mouth when I lift heavy.
I really want to lift tomorrow, but I also do not want to go back to the dentist again until I have to.
Thanks in advance.
Fixing Hyperlordosis & Kyphosis
Am a 34yr old male, started lifting when i was 14, had no idea about techniques just taught myself. Ended up with too much curve throughout my spine. Got injured (torn rotator cuff) from that point on, ive spent my entire lifting career working around my issues.
This year i’ve figured i want to get rid of it & just be healthy. From there learn techniques to avoid going back to that pattern.
i want to know if i should lay off lifting completely & just focus on fixing my posture?
i have spent past 2 weeks reading & researching & so far have found so many opinions & ideas. that all exercises combined would take me about 5-6hrs a day.
Does anyone have experience in this & can help me out, right now i feel lost with it.
any advice is appreciated
How do I start weight training?
15, about 140 pounds, 5'10-5'11
Having recently gained access to a gym, I'm sorta clueless about where to begin, especially since I've never done this sort of thing before. I ultimately don't want to run the rusk of doing more harm than good, so if you could throw some basic guidelines at me, I'd really appreciate it.

is it smart to do less excercises on chest/back day
so for chest i do 2, 3 excercises, but for the back i do lower back 1, 2 excercises and then for the upper back 2 excercises and 2 more for the lats- all of those excercises have 4 sets in them .is it better do hit back twice a week instead of all that in one day

How to train lower back?
I have 3 questions:
1) I have swapped to training at home and have all the essentials, but need to train my lower back. Its the weakest aspect of my deadlift and I have an old injury that i don't want to agitate. So how do I train my lower back at home?
2) If I went back to a proper gym what are the best exercises for lower back strengthening or isolation of the lower back.
3) Have considered getting a hyperextension bench, is it better to do hypers on a 45 degree bench or one perpendicular to the floor.

Is it worth training once a week?
Just want some input on this :) I really only have time to train once a week, I work long and awkward hours :( would it be worth training once a week? I've read elsewhere that if I do, i need to go all out and make sure I ache for up to 3 days after my day of training, but my job is heavy work, I have to manually handle around 200kg+ on most days. I want to train, but I don't want to not be able to work because of it.
Any thoughts peeps?

Realistic goals for strength?
Some background:
I have been lifting for just under a year now in which time I have grown from 5'7.5 to 5'9 and gone from a bodyweight of 85kg/187lbs to a much leaner BW of 75kg/165lbs. My current lifts as as follows:
Squat: 120kg/265lbs (low as I didn't do squats for the first few months)
Bench: 102.5kg/226lbs
Deadlift: 155kg/342lbs
I am loving the powerlifting training style and was wondering what would be some realistic all time goals for strength (I know short term focused goals are more important for progressing, but just want to speculate and gather some opinions).
At my height (5'9) what sort of bodyweight do you think I could get to. Some charts I've seen recommend me going into the 100kg/220lbs range but I think I would quite like to weigh in at 90-91kg/200lbs and relatively lean (say around 15-17% bodyfat). Would this be naturally attainable?
In addition I have been thinking about raw strength goals. How heavy a Squat/bench/deadlift would be attainable (natural or with gear)
Right now i think a life goal of a 300kg/661lbs squat, 340kg/750lbs deadlift and 200kg/441lbs bench (low bar squat and Sumo deadlift) woudl be what I want (maybe an extra kilo here and there) as well as a 300kg beltless conventional deadlift and 250kg/551lbs beltless high bar squat. Would these be naturally attainable? Attainable at all?
Just looking for opinions.

What's your go to song(s) for PRs?
I have a few dozen singles that I'll jump on when I'm staring down that barbell during 1RM tests:
Or I'll throw on one of these albums and just go to town:
-

-

-
Wage War - Deadweight
-
All Shall Perish - Awaken the Dreamers
-

-
Parkway Drive - Horizons
-

-

Came across this passage in a strength training program I found online, need help "translating."
Lift: Max effort Board Press, High Volume Chest Shoulder Tricep/ Round robin Incline Bench and Decline Push up 4-8-4, Century Set with 95-115lbs, Push Up/Incline/Decline Tri sets…Round Robin Lat Pulls and Rows with high total volume, MB Pull Overs for time, High Volume Bicep and Tricep, Band Chest Fly and Band External rotations.

Should we filter any types of lifting videos submitted?
I think it's awesome we have people submitting PR's, and asking for form checks, and posting videos from established lifters/coaches/competitors like the unfuck your x videos
But like does anybody really want to see people uploading vlogs of their entire workout, just trying to get people to follow their vlogging channel? Selling personality etc so you might want to keep watching their fitness diary
Im probably more annoyed than I should be idk, I just feel like as a strength training specific sub this isn't for that kind of soapy garbage. A post recently came through from some dudes whole leg day where you have to watch him walk into the gym talking about what he ate, and then listen to him talk to you while he does ham curls. Just felt out of place and like spam.

Anyone have experiences or insight into lifting light/heavy weights exclusively?
While doing research online I've seen all sorts of relatively credible sites say different things. Some say you can lift only light weights and do high reps to get the same result as heavy weight and low reps since it all depends on the tension and pressure your muscles are put under. But then I've seen other sites say that you need to lift heavy to get "ripped" since it works the muscle harder. So does anyone have any opinion/insight to give into this topic to help me out? I love lifting light and the tension I feel on the muscles is amazing, but I'm not sure if I should reincorporate heavy weights into the mix. Thanks guys

Bench and OHP help?
So I've been lifting consistently for about two and a half years and have made good progress I think. My most recent PR's are as follows: •Squat-325lb •deadlift-365lb •Bench-215lb •overhead press-140lb My squat and deadlift have gone up very consistently, but my bench and OHP have plateaued hard. Since they use several similar muscles, is there some accessory work I can do to improve both lifts?
For context, if its relevant, I have been following Doug Hepburn's program of 8x2, working up to 8x3.
Thanks guys!

Weight gain advice
I am a 22 year old male and weigh around 110 lbs. I am 5'6. I have a very ripped physique and people at the gym think I weigh 140 to 150 lbs. I really want to weigh around that weight is it possible. I can bench 185 lbs.3 to 4 times. I also do shoulder press with dumbbells starting from 40lbs. 10 reps, 45 lbs. 8 reps, 50 lbs. 6 reps and 55 lbs 4 reps. I have been really trying to gain weight at one point I was at 130 lbs. but I got sick and lost most of my weight. Is it possible for me to be 140 to 150 lbs I am about to start Medical school in a few years and want to be in good physical shape so I can just maintain it.

Life insurance... all dads need to look into it--here's how to make the process relatively painless.
Starting out, need advice.
I have no clue as to where I should start. I've been looking for guides on strenght training, what program to use, what to eat and how often. But all I get is a long dumb text selling me some overpriced advice, that sounds like BS.
So here I am at Reddit looking for what to do.
What I want to know is:
Workout routine: I want to build up my full body strenght, what exercises should I use and how should I shuffle them up?
Diet: What should I eat and how often?
Supplements: worth it?
I don't want to end up on a podium, just stay strong and healthy whilst looking good. I hope you can help :)

Not Able to Train As Hard
I have been training for American Ninja Warrior pretty hardcore for a little over 2 years now. I started off at 6'2" and 220lbs with a well defined dad bod. In about 6 months I lost about 40 lbs and getting in pretty decent shape.
I am not sure at what point, but last year (as late as the fall) I was going pretty hard. I can do 25 strict pull ups. I rep my body weight on bench press. I rep 335lbs (sets of 5) on deadlifts. I was finishing in the top 5-8 in pretty good size Ninja tournaments, etc. The point is, I feel like I was killing it.
With that said, over the last year or year and a half, I have been constantly battling with pain in my left arm. I have gone to chiropractors, physical therapists, doctors, had an MRI, etc and still haven't figured it out. Furthermore, sometime around October/November this year, I started getting a burning pain all through my body during/after workouts. Just a general pain. Because of this, or maybe along with this, I have started to fall off on my workouts. I can't seem to finish my typical workouts. I find myself struggling on obstacles that I used to dominate. Recovering from workouts is taking longer. That type of stuff.
I recently got sick and took about a week off and thought I was feeling really great, but did a pretty hardcore ninja workout last night and again burnt out quickly and didn't perform near as well. I don't know what is happening. I feel like I could go harder when I had my dad bod.
My typical workout is; regular gym push/pull/leg split on Monday/Wednesday/Friday. I hit the ninja gym Tuesday and Thursday. Thursdays are usually lighter because my joints hurt from Tuesday. And sometimes I do a grip workout on Saturdays and probably more pull ups.
Also, my diet is pretty strict. I follow a 40/40/20 split of Carbs/Protein/Fats. I stick to it pretty well. I do drink a lot of coffee though (but I drink it black). I keep my sugar intake between 20g and 60g a day. I take men's one a day every day as well.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Strength Coach Internships
I am getting my bachelors in Exercise Science and simultaneously working on studying for the NSCA-CPT + CSCS. Would any certified strength coaches with experience in the field be able to share their experience learning and finding a job through various internships? How did the internships run for you and what would you recommend?
Dumbbell squat advice
I lift weights at home using dumbbells & Kettlebells. I'm not an experienced lifter, but I really enjoy it despite not having time to go to a gym and workout. When doing dumbbell squats I know there are several variations. I generally do front squats with Kettlebells, but as I progress in weight I use adjustable dumbbells. Is it more advisable to do squats with the dumbbells held at the side than cleaning the dumbbells and holding them above the shoulders? Is there a difference in effectiveness in these 2 variations?
Powerbelt advice
I want a 4 inch all around, 10mm thickness good quality belt at a good price. I know about Inzer, bestbelt and a ton of others that pros recommend. I want something similar without the brand name at a low price. Doesn't need to be ipf approved. I need it for squats/deadlifts/bench/clean press.
Here are the ones I'm considering. Please consider that I'm Canadian, so exchange rate/shipping is a factor. Which one would you pick? Inzer is the equivalent of $130 Cad for me. The most expensive one below is Iron Bull at $70 Cad.

A Chance Encounter (January 1st, 2018): /r/happycryingdads
Hi all,
Each day I hit "random" on the top of reddit and spend the entire day engaging with the subreddit I 'land in.' Today it is you all at /r/happycryingdads. I hope you all will welcome me and find this as a chance encounter to learn more about one another, and of course, see some happy, crying, dads, and stuff.
Feel free to ask me anything!
Some icebreakers:
- How did you find yourself here in /r/happycryingdads?
- Why do you think you like to see dads happy and crying?
As for me, I came here by chance; but I'm glad I'm here and look forward to it! I think perhaps for me, men are often not socially 'allowed' to be emotional -- but happy is likely more socially acceptable. So seeing dads happy and crying allows us to see some emotion from men, but not too much. Chances are I am overthinking this, but that's what I do, ya'll.
Oh, and Happy New Year! :)
