What % of body weight is considered good for squats, bench press, and deadlifts? I weigh 150lbs (M27) so what are some good weights for these exercises? Thanks!

https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards is a good place to start.

In general, BW for bench, 1.5 BW for Squat, and 2xBW for deads is not a bad goal - slightly subjective as everyone has different strengths and weaknesses and proportions.

I’m trying to also rationalize paying for my own in NYC but it’s so expensive ($500+/mo). I go to the doctor fairly often. Single NYC freelancers (no kids), what do you pay monthly or yearly? Worth it?

My trouble is… I love the income I make full-time… What age was your child when you went part-time or stay at home? And why?

Would like to go on a fat loss diet. Need to drop body fat , recos on full proof diets ?

Let’s say you’re looking to transform your fitness - lose weight, tone, stay generally healthy. I know diet is more important than exercise. Would you then first focus on your diet and build sustainable changes before getting to exercising? Or would you do both but focus more on diet? If the latter, how do you avoid getting overwhelmed with so many changes? And this is for a long-term ‘feel-good’ kinda lifestyle, not just for immediate weight loss
