Title says it all, i want to lose weight and also build some muscle, ive have been hitting the gym and cutting my calories by 500-900cal for the past two months, while i am seeing some muscle growth, its not very substantial or something people around me will notice, ive also lost about 2kgs which is not much so i am thinking of doing a 200cal surplus for a month to see how it goes I wanted to get some advice as well as read other people’s experiences

Idk why but my coach directly put me into the machines and did not make do any of those compound exercises, i think that it maybe because i was (and still am) in a very bad shape, i am not obese but i have extremely low muscle mass (consequently high fat mass), heck i can’t even do a simple push-up even after two months, still doing knee pushups

It took me eight months of training before I could do a simple pushup. I’m so glad I never gave up.
