    Absolutely. How anyone could think the molecular structure of fructose vrs glucose is relevant to a poster looking for basic weight lifting advice.

    Give me the planks brigade anyday.

    I'm M/42. Been working out this cycle for a little over a year. Got a fitbit a few months ago. Flagged the fact that I was eating way too little protein to add mass. Which is one of my goals.

    I do weight training for 50 mins, 4/5 days a week during lockdown. Started upping the tempo. Now squeeze the same session into 35mins.

    Lift a kettlebell. Super set and compound sets. I have 27% muscle and 24% fat. I also do cardio. Running and cycling 4/5 days a week. Very healthy diet.

    Question is this. Should I be cutting or bulking to add mass? Have healthy appetite. Boxed a bit when I was younger. Would like to do some more. So cardio and fitness is a must.

    Can anyone recommend an email newsletter or online resource containing tip, tricks and motivational content suited to my fitness plan?

    Greg Doucette on youtube is a good resource...a lot of his stuff is for the lols but he gives some of the best advice on this topic I've seen aimed at people newish to lifting.

    Everything I've seen and heard about him suggests otherwise and he's just doing his youtube to get people to pay his extortionate rates.

    I'm looking forward to getting back to my gym, I expect many more casual gym users will not be back until the new year now.

    He is impossible to listen to though. That voice and all of the unnecessary shouting...
