Hi all,

I have an interview for an underwriting position tomorrow. My screening call went well and now meeting a head of the department. I think my relationship management skills shined in the screening call, and my last question was what could I work on now that would benefit me for my next steps int he interview process, and the rep said maybe working on your numbers based skills. I do some basic budgeting and financial reading in my job now, but not too heavy.

Overall, asking for advice in general for an underwriting position as i'm not in the industry, as well as if just reviewing some basic financial principles should be enough. There is a training program and they're aware i'm not in the industry.

First time lifting after a long time and looking to finally be efficient and organized. Decided to build an U/L split as I’m going to go 4x a week and maybe 5 sometimes. Built this routine and wasn’t sure if I should switch up the routine for each day (different focus or lifts on upper day 1 and day 2). Or if I should just stick to this and track progression.

Looking to get stronger as I feel overall I’m pretty weak and looking to burn fat. I’m working on the belly fat but would love to see my arms and chest get stronger, I also feel like I have no lats, so I guess that’s just overall wanting to get bigger. Would appreciate any tips on the workout.

Upper Day

Incline chest press

Peck deck

Assisted Pull-ups or lat pulldown

Cable lat raises (shoulders)

Pendlay row

JM Press

Seated in line curl

LEG DAY

Lying or seated Leg curls alt. 2x 6-8

Hack squat (feet back) 3x last at fail

Roman deadlift 6-8

Leg extension 2x 6-8

Hip abductors 2x 6-8

Calf raise 3x 8-10

I’ve recently started going to the gym again, I’m in my 20’s and haven’t kept up the past couple years and looking to get back as I feel I’ve gotten weak. I’m about 214 rn and about 5’11. I get to the gym about 4x a week. I’m trying to lose fat and have been doing the 12-3-30 income treadmill walk before my lifting sessions which I’ve been doing chest/tri, back/bi, and legs, however I know I need to switch to hit everything 2x a week.

Asking for any tips on workout splits (PPL, U/L, ext.), I’d like berthing to get stronger but definitely would like my arms and chest to get stronger and lose the fat around my hips and belly.

I wouldn’t say I’m strictly cutting or bulking, but def starting to eat healthier and eat the proper amount of protein (about 145g) for the first time.

Any tips or even workout routines would be great. So far I’ve enjoyed the incline walk then lifts but would like to be more efficient.
