You'll gain it all back. You're not supposed to lose more than 1-1/2 pounds a week. Anything more is unhealthy and will result in your weight rebounding.
So, YC's weight loss is more the normal for keeping it off.
I've heard that if you're training for strength, assuming you're lifting to failure, about 5 reps per set is good. I know that w/ increased rep #s comes greater muscular endurance, not size or strength. So I guess it depends on what you want out of it?
This is definitely something you might have to experiment with. If you're looking to develop some strength but also get bigger I feel like 8-10 reps is good. Just make sure that on that final rep you're lifting to failure.
Ugh I've been noticing some muscular imbalances in my body lately so I'm gonna switch some of my current BB exercises (bench, OHP, some bicep/tricep ones) to their DB counterparts.
My chest especially is annoying me, my left side is weaker but is slightly bigger/firmer than my right.
i really want to start going to the gym but idk where to start.
i do lil 30 minute workouts at home just so im healthy and my body is good, but i really want to go harder and start gaining a bit but idk where to start. should i get a trainer or watch videos or?
Ask him to teach you how to squat with a barbell! It's the most effective way.
Lmao what with just the bar, then? All his weights are too heavy for me he's a big guy, like he's as obsessed with bodybuilding as we are pop girls
Closest I get to a full workout is being used to curl or squatted
And I kinda wanted to just do it privately without him knowing to see if he notices
Edit: he occasionally cage fights, does anyone else here do MMA?

The lower the reps, the more likely you are to build size and strength. The higher the reps, the more likely you are to tone and build lean muscle.
An average set of 8 reps will be in between both of these and you'll see smaller results from both sides of the spectrum. Around 3-6 reps is good for size and strength, and 10-12 reps is good for lean muscle and tone.
I started my 4 week trial at the gym on Wednesday and today I did my first workout, it felt great. First time I ever went to the gym in the morning (I never could because of work) and it's so much better than in the evenings. I love this gym, it's not part of a chain and their focus is on being healthy so everything is personal, relaxed and very positive.
Also the Milon circle is super easy to use and I'm impressed by how many muscles you can train with it.

I've heard dozens of people with reasonable assessments say completely different things about this. I think I'll just find out what Mark Rippetoe says and go with that.
I'm gonna start the Fitness Blender program this Monday!
Good luck! It's really fun. It has simple and intermediate versions of most of the cardio exercises so it's very versatile. I've been following it for about a month now and I've never seen such great results.
The YouTube videos are free and you can create your own workout routine.
Since I'm a flop and don't know which days I should work on a specific exercise, I purchased their workout program. They organize a Calender for you with their YouTube videos.
So you're right.
