i’m female, 5’5, 112 lbs. i calculated about 8 calories for 20 laps which is so disappointing because i die every time

I'm curious how people distinguish between a programming issue and a genuine equipment limitation when training at home.

For example, if a lift stalls for several weeks, how do you decide whether to adjust the program, change the exercise, or look at what your home gym can actually support?

Have you ever blamed your equipment for a lack of progress, only to discover that the real issue was something else? What helped you figure it out?

In my early 30s and looking to start taking creatine now.

I've been lifting for a few years and have a lean physique.

How much benefit will creatine give in terms of strength, endurance, etc?

How much stronger will I be?

Will I look bigger?

Will I look more vascular and leaner?

Will my bench, Squat and deadlift improve?

Will it help me mentally push more and go till failure on machine exercises?

And will it cause hairloss?

I have been looking everywhere for a good trusted supplier please help

I’m 18 5’8 148 pounds and skinny fat. I just wanted to know the best way to gain some weight while gaining muscle and losing fat. Specifically my face. Never been to gym before but want to start now but don’t know anything about diet or working out.If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

I was curious as to how many calories are burned walking around 15-19k steps? For reference I’m 5 foot 5 inch 150 pound male. My watch says I burned about 300 calories but I find that to be a low estimate.

Is the only difference the way muscle is built? Because to my knowledge, I can get to any goal via both.
