Hi guys, been training 3 months now after a period of 15 years of severe heroin and crack cocaine addiction, coupled with anorexia. Was in good shape and very strong before the wheels fell off, and have been enjoying the experience of reacquiring the strength I once had. The gains feels like they're coming even faster than standard newbie gains because of the condition they once had. Have piled on a lot of weight very quickly as rebound weight from my eating disorder, and have also put on a good few lbs of muscle mass. I am running a full body 3x/week split consisting of MOSTLY compound movements with some supplementary isolation work for side delts, biceps, triceps, calves.

I am 5'5 and currently weight 65 kg. My bent over row is 80kg, and I am adding an extra 15KG to do weighed chins (underhand grip).

The problem I am having is that I want to do wide grip overhand pull ups. However, I just cannot get past a certain part of the motion and wondered if anybody could tell me what I might be doing wrong. I struggle going from the active hang to the next portion. If I use a stool for assistance at the very lowest part of the exercise, I can complete it from about the 20% point. If I dont go all the way down to the bottom of the exercise (full arm extention) then I have no problem getting back up. Obviously I have no problems doing weighted chins, but feel as though (through a specific portion of the ROM) I don't have enough strength to do a pull up, which seems absurd to me...

I don't know if I have worded this very well, but if anybody can understand what I am trying to ask, and can help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys...

I want to start getting fit and achieving an ideal body. Need help getting started.

I am 17F and my goal is to start my workout goal. I find myself being too skinny and feeling weak 24/7, and I really want to work on this so that I can be a happier and fitter version of myself for the future.

Recently, I've found a girl that has gone through three years of working out and eating properly who was the exact body type I am right now. However, she does not have her routine or what she eats posted. I've been trying to figure that out but I'm inexperienced in these types of things. The body she has now is the ideal body I want to achieve.

Currently I am 5'3 and 41 kg and I do not eat enough calories I should be consuming every day. I believe I should be eating 1600 calories (150 grams protein, under 100 carbs)? There are a few photos that'll show you what I want to achieve. here is an example.

Any advice will help! I eagerly want to get my fitness in a state better than what it is right now. I find it hard doing this myself because I feel like I would do so much better when I am given a routine and meal plan instead of making it myself with 0 knowledge.

Recently finished Athlean Xero - recommendations for future?

Since covid I stopped going to the gym and felt I really lost quite a lot of my muscle mass. I decided to give the Athlean Xero program a go, as I quite like Jeff, and I recently finished it. Overall, I quite liked it, I feel it helped me train more like an athlete which is the whole selling point.

My only complaint would be the biceps and bag exercises which just didn't do anything for me. However, this isn't a problem as I can compensate wiht dumbbells and bands.

Now that I'm done with the program I'm looking for other similar options. I know Jeff has released an Athlean Xero 2 which I'm considering, but is there anything else you guys would recommend?

Besides bodyweight, I have access to dumbbells and bands.

Hi guys,

So my country is on full lockdown again -_-

But over the course of the past months, I've found these 3 individuals that make sense when it comes to technique and insight about the body (muscle, diet, etc.):

Jeff Cavaliere

Jeremy Ethier

Sean Nalewanyj

Now, I'm trying to find the best home bodyweight workout for me and I can't really decide which is best though I am leaning towards Jeremy and Sean cause Jeff's looks a little too crazy. However, if someone can tell me Jeff's workout is better, please let me know.

For reference, I'm going to list down links to their workout routines:

Jeff - https://athleanx.com/articles/the-perfect-home-workout-one-month-plan

Jeremy - https://builtwithscience.com/full-body-workout-at-home/

Sean - http://seannal.com/home-workout.php

Thanks!
