01Start from zero
↗Never trained, or stopped long ago: start with a beginner program — squat, push-up and row first, and the smallest workable volume.
02Coming back
↗Trained before and picking it up again: a returning program rebuilds frequency and movement first, and you re-confirm loads for today's body, not your old log.
03My training
↗Already on a plan: see which training day is due and continue from your last log.

General nutrition
Creatine: the basics
Creatine is a substance your body makes and that meat and fish contain. This covers the one established effect, why monohydrate is the default, the general intake ranges published in the literature and EU law (not a prescription), and the contamination risk. No brands, no doses.
Getting startedTraining after 40
Public guidelines have no separate plan for turning 40: the WHO and China's 2021 guidelines both give adults 150-300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week plus strengthening on 2 or more days. Why strength matters more now, how to start, and when to see a doctor first.
Rest & missed sessionsSore or injured: how to tell, and what to do
Delayed onset muscle soreness has a shape: it appears one to three days after a session, sits in the muscles you worked, and fades within days. Here are the signs that are not soreness, when to seek medical or emergency care, and how to train while sore. No diagnosis here.
