$100 a month. Im not so much worried about lifting technique as I am diet, having someone hold me accountable while spending money seems like some great extra motivation.

Really? I believe in you. You always made good calls when we had you.

I'd be inclined to get an actual personal trainer who knows what they are doing. Can teach you how to improve your main lifts and provide you actual 1:1 coaching over something that's done solely online. What kind of money do they charge for online coach.

Hell Billay, I used to be a personal trainer and have a BS in exercise science. I wouldn't mind helping you.

Between Lewdog and Silock they have you covered for diet and training. Want accountability? Post pics in here with updates. Save the $100/month for some quality supplements and food.

So if someone is starting off in weight training (with a home gym) what would be a good 3-4 exercises to do daily, or every other day, to get started?

Deadlifts, squats, pullups, military press, bench press.

don't rush through any of the exercises.. focus on the muscle you are trying to build.. even touch the muscle is applicable (curls)

Anyone moved from the Eat Stop Eat type fasting to a circadian rhythm fast instead? I'm so ingrained with the fast all day and eat one meal at night, that the thought of my eating window being all day long rubs me the wrong way. But the research on it seems to point to some definite benefits.

Silock mentions something I kind of do.

My eating window is from noon until 8 pm. Noon is a protein bar that is 300 calories or less. I workout around 2 pm most days. Post workout protein shake around 3:30. I don't eat a full meal until 5 for dinner.
