** MAYBE YOU CAN RELATE? **
I went years (as most do) having a gym membership and never using it; essential spending about $180/workout ($180 and only going twice per year) lol.
A couple years ago, I started going more, but didn't know what I was doing and just jumping on all the machines with no program or progress tracking. It wasn't until this year that I went hardcore.
I get WAY more than my money's worth now! I didn't love exercise until now - it was just something I did, but nothing worked because I thought just being in a gym meant I'd gain muscle or lose fat... It wasn't until now that I actually LOVE it and look forward to the next session!
Once you get to the point where you see results AND are doing exercises you enjoy, it's wonderful and not a chore!
That's the problem trying to convince others to join you or getting them to see how fun it can be. Just like I didn't see the joy folks got from it, they can't either... it's totally a personal epiphany that needs to occur within.

"I generally weight train in the 4-6 rep range these days. With absolute failure at 6. If I could push a 7th I go heavier."- KGC. That's pretty much powerlifting. The secrets are outta the bag! LOL

Well I'm gaining muscle doing it like predicted hence cutting Cal's back this week. 2.7kg of lean mass in 3 weeks according to the scans. And she'd 4.1kg of fat doing it.
In conjunction with resistance training HIIT and cardio are so important in a good fitness regime. I can't stress that enough. I remember playing with the idea of putting on some size I have no doubt at all if I wanted to bulk I would be crazy successful at it, it's just not my jam. Trying to get fit without to much mass is the hard part.

But Rich Froning and the other crossfit competitors are proof you can have both. I think that you're needlessly afraid to put on mass at this stage of your journey. If someone can do it at 195 pounds, you can def do it at 166. I don't see why you need to slim down any.

Also, what flipped the switch from telling me that F45 would strip muscle to then saying that it would make me a lot bigger?

Don't put words in my mouth, F45 alone would strip muscle off you. Combined with your weights you would gain. You would be sore / using muscles you didn't even know you had mate.

Again he is fit for what he does, none of that size would help him hike. It would hinder him more then anything. He would need to carry tonnes more food which is weight and his mass which is weight. A big bicep serves no purpose hiking except to weigh you down. Plus I don't like the look athletically.
