Im going to chime in and probly get blasted but i dont care as it needs to be said.
Thise of you women on here that have men willing to train you and take the time out of their own fitness goals are being fools. And you are only holding yourself back. No one else.
Take advantage of the knowledge they have.
My gf and i have been lifting together for five years. She had never lifted a weight before i came along just ran on the treadmill and some other useless bullshit. Ya she was thin but wanted more. So i said ok ill train you. If u start to argue with me ur done and u can go back to the treadmill. She agreed. Sometimes she would try to fight me and i said cool im gonna go do my shit then and u can do to the ladies room and do abs on the excercise ball and she said fuck that and would do what i said. Sometimes you ladies need some tough love.
Now. As far as the hip thing. You must be nuts to keep squatting if ur hip is impinged and popping. Get away from sauats immediatly. Whats the point of ignoring your body telling you something is wrong. If u keep pushing it then u will really injure yourself and then cant lift at all. Get away from squats entirly. For atleast a little while. Go do leg press. Or leg ext. or calf raises. Or the inner and outer thigh machines. There are tons of other leg shit you can do to get results.
As far as training splits. Im gonna have to disagree on that one. I believe more in supplemental lifts. In other words if day one i do chest and back. Then day two is biceps and tris. Day one i do my main chest back stuff. Then day two i come in with supplemental chest and back lifts to warm up. So less weight more reps and diff lifts. Then i go for the bis and tris main stuff and so on. But you gotta switch it up so day one i do over head press dumbell press all those etc. then day two for the supplemental lifts ill do peck decks and cable crossovers. With cable lifts. But less weight more reps.
To touch on the scale. Dont even weigh yourself but once a month for a reference. Your body is in flux. Gaining muscle losing fat gaining and losing water. What i would do however is measure your body every two weeks. Neck shoulders chest waiste biceps forearms quads and calves. That will show u your progress and the areas that need more attention
Just my two cents you can take it or leave it [emoji123]
