Awesome thanks so much!! I will definitely let you know when I have a question. You have been very helpful!

Good. Well you can always hit me up if you need help.

That's been my rule lately if doesnt feel right stop. Reset form or even drop weight try it again if it still hurts I make a note of it in my book like does it pop or is it weak bla bla... and come back to it another day.

That's good! Lol I have the same arm imbalance from breaking my collar bone and not using that arm 😑 obviously whenever your training and something hurts, stop, check your form and if it still hurts it's something more

@kambam yeah I've had to over come the fact that hips rotate forward naturally so I have to make it a point to flex the gluts rotate the hits forward for a better neutral spine. That and I use to be a bar tender so my right arm/shoulder is a lot stronger then my left from being used to poor heavy bottles and stuff. So I'm trying to undo what my dory has told itself and that's what December has been for me really getting that conectivety back. Also a c section when my son was born so trying to reconnect with the lower abs workingnnotnjust over compensating with my back or less or just the upper portion.

That's an imbalance. But also if you get injured or have been keeping bad posture it leads to other imbalances that you have to teach yourself to stop doing. Nobody wants to follow a diet but if you do it makes a huge difference.

@kambam I don't want to structure diet because I know for a fact I won't fallow it lol. But I will admit it does need a tune up lol. Imbalances is just where one side is stronger and over compensating right? If so I have changed some of my work outs to be more unilateral to help try and even back out.

That's good. You'll learn about imbalances in school and how to overcome them. I'm sure your diet is great but if you're looking to build that lean mass, chances are it does need work. I felt like I was in jail with my diet for a while 😂 but after seeing results I grew to love it and of course looking forward to those cheat days.

My diet could be better but it's pretty balanced as far as getting what I need to grow and be healthy

I have a work out journal I've has it for maybe 10 or 11 months, so I've been tracking and making notes of how my body works thought a workout if Something hurts if I buckled or form was off at that weight then I drop and focuse on getting it right with a lower weight and try again another day normally.

Ok. Well you want to always be progressing in the gym. Either with more weight or more endurance. So always keep a journal and write your weight and sets down. Then you might want to try and increase every week by 10% is a decent starting point.

It makes sense. I'm not looking to compete but I'm thinking about becoming a trainer so I'm trying to learn as much as I can. So don't worry if it doesn't make sense I will be looking it up later lol

@kambam yeah I'm routine hasn't change but my every 3 weeks change up. I got 4 to 6 days a week depending on how the next week looks or sick whatever but lately I'm going 4 days a week sometimes 5. I would like to try and hit muscle groups 2 times a week not sure yet. I do a lot of yo go stretches before and activation warm up. For my cool down it's normally stretching. I've been working on my posterior chain I just kinda learned about it like a week or two go blew my mind lol.

Hope that makes sense

You'll notice your body composition will change drastically with 2 things: routine, and diet. If you keep a good diet (right amount of calories and nutrient ratio) and stick to a regular routine, you will see results fairly quickly. 6m or more. But also, don't forget to have decent warmups and recovery work. Foam rolling and stretching properly. Its hard to give so much info on here and I don't know what your imbalances may be, but likely you should roll your hip flexors and piriformis before squats or any posterior chain work to deactivate them.
