swimming is so goated its too bad im terrible at it lol. jus doing lines up in there on a beautiful sunday morning
It’s my favorite activity, it’s like you’re flying
And then after an exhausting 20-30 laps, if it’s an outdoor pool you relax and recharge under the sun
Nothing better than leg day
Nothing better than the endorphin rush after pushing that body to its absolute limits with the bar on your back
The pump on chest and arms is great and all but it just doesn’t compare to that post squat high
how do i make this s*** easy on myself? feeling overwhelmed with the wealth of knowledge out there. I’m 5’8” and weigh in the 170s. My goal is to get down to 150ish with a slim-muscular build.
I have a small lift routine I’ve been following, then I usually end on the treadmill for cardio.
I’ve been doing this every other day for like a week and a half, and I have felt better physically/mentally. But I think I’m tired of going in there without having a real “plan”. My diet is kinda unpredictable due to money so I’m mostly just focused on finding the right way to exercise my body.
Gonna test out a recomp/maintenance phase. Will report back with results for 4-5 months.

I hear you but i hate the fact that walking (my favorite thing to do) genuinely becomes a chore for like two days lol

diet is gonna be responsible for like 80% of your results. download an app like myfitnesspal, lose it or cronometer and track what you eat. those apps should put you in a calorie deficit and you should really just focus hitting your calorie and protein goals, i wouldn't worry about carbs and fat rn. just do your best to have a consistent diet cause you aren't able to out train a bad diet. also weigh yourself every day
as far as a training split, it's hard to recommend just one cause they basically all work and have their ups and downs. i'd personally look into either full body or upper lower
full body is great cause you'll hit ever major muscle each session, but the length of the workouts can get long because of that
upper lower will give you a lot of volume, frequency and time for recovery but the volume can be taxing for some people
here's examples for full body and upper lower, i'm currently doing a version of the upper lower

you could also look into push pull legs, i don't have much experience with that but it's very popular
a big part of this game is experimentation and finding what works for you. you might not like certain movements, prefer a machine over free weights, have mobility issues, etc, but that stuff just comes with time and depends on what your gym has. pick a plan, stick with it for 10-12 weeks so you can make measurable progress and then reevaluate. consistency and effort will lead to results

So first off if the goal is weight loss you have to prioritize the diet. If moneys tight then getting the diet right will help double because you can figure out that part of your budget.
Figure out your daily calorie target and set a minimum target for your protein.
Protein powder, canned tuna, and chicken will be your best friend. If times are tight frfr…chicken hearts are real cheap and don’t even taste bad.
Find a lifting program that you like and stick with it. Walk around daily.
And just keep it going. It’ll take some time but it really is that easy. Lot of s*** out there overcomplicates things.
Chest pumping so hard they want me in the next American Eagle ad

the art of lifting by greg nuckols and omar isuf. 100 pages long. billions must read. you dont need ANYTHING else until later when its time to read eric helms muscle and strength pyramid training. youtube is false prophet and can only be used if you have a specific/technical question you need a quick and easy answer to
i just realized you asked some different but maybe this response will be useful to some1 else struggling with info paralysis

Honestly don’t even need those 100 pages.
10-20 working sets per body part per week. 8-12 reps for muscle building. Below 5 reps for strength. Divided into 3-4 sessions a week. Add weight or reps every week to progressively overload.
All these new fitfluencers just repackage s*** we’ve known. The Soviet’s figured it all out decades ago

Agreed however there’s some good advice far as training mindset and approach goes
