comment Building a first-time workout based on my lifestyle
There have been 3 downvotes on this question, but not one comment explaining why it is a bad question or how to improve it. Could someone elaborate on this? As for @informaficker's notes, the answers all appear to be in the question: he has never worked out before and has no plan, tried the gold gyms program generator but their efficacy was rightly called into question based off the output.

comment Is it a good idea to do really a lot of push-ups?
I wouldn't say no danger... push ups are a common source for wrist pain, so doing an excessive amount of push ups can increase the likely-hood or speed up the process of getting wrist pain. To that end, doing knuckle push ups on a heavily padded surface would be far better for decreasing chance of injury.

comment Why might assisted chin-ups not be recommended to build up to unassisted ones?
If the resistance band actually increases your strength, then it will transfer towards pull ups. If you aren't gaining strength from it, then no it won't.

comment Glute exercises for someone with knee pain
@Informaficker what does the rehabilitation tag exist for if not for questions regarding a persons rehab? If you don't want personalized rehabilitation questions then you should bring that up in meta. Either way, I don't think this is so overly specific that no one else might benefit from this question.

@Informaficker not at all, I was just looking for clarification for a single point on John's question which I was skeptical of.

comment How do I lose Weight when I weigh 345lbs?
+1. I 100% agree that the majority of weight loss comes from proper dieting, and that exercise is a drop in the bucket compared to it. I would argue though that calories in vs out is all it comes down to in the end. While the smart food choices (as we both noted) satiate more, if you are disciplined enough you can eat whatever you want and come out thinner so long as you watch the end calories. Hell, I ate a diet of daily fast food and lost weight through it just to prove this point once. Healthy? Hell no (google: CVD), but this was just concerning fat loss.

comment What is an ideal body fat% for young lean males?
At my weight, going down to 5% body fat would be a loss of approximately 2 kg or 5 lbs of fat. I would say that is a fairly noticeable delta, especially if the majority of the fat came from a single area, as is likely given my caliper sites. Either way, if you don't recommend breaking 8%, could I instead focus on growing my abdominal muscles so they show better through the little fat that is left, or would that be an exercise in futility?

@Kate I am not an athlete (nor very athletic). Outside of walking 7 hr/week and strength training 3hr/week I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle.

comment Is taking a set to failure recommended for any type of lift or goal?
If a bodybuilder were in a position where they could do reps to failure, wouldn't they be better off by just increasing the weight instead and sticking to their rep range?
