I dead lifted 140lbs for a set of 6. I am elated lol. It's not that much compared to some of you, but I'm pretty happy with this as I was stuck at 135 for 4 reps for quite some time.

I'm 5'8", which also makes me the tallest girl in my family too. Even when my aunts and cousins wear heels, they are no match for me.
I don't really consider myself abnormally tall, though. I'm...

I understand how tempting it is to cut back on calories when you aren't training the way you're used to, but it would be a huge setback in your recovery if you do that. You would be surprised at the...

When I'm at the gym I generally wear headphones. I hear nothing lol.
I did however once hear someone chatting on the phone about me once on my way out.
Random guy:"Yo dude I just saw this chick...

Helped me a lot too. I've been battling anorexia for about 10 years now. Almost died when I was 19. I've put on about 50 pounds since then. Spent high school and college being in and out of...

#1. Eat more dietary fat. It will make it easier to hit higher calorie counts and your body needs fats to repair the damage from starvation. IE cellular integrity and hormones. Also, most vitamins...

No gloves. I bought a pair once. They were too big around the wrist area even though I'd purchased the smallest size, so they caused more difficulty for me than what they eliminated.
I have...

No, he doesn't lift. He's naturally very muscular so he used to just do cardio.
He was in shape when we met (13 months ago). Went from 6' and 190 to about 230. He just started Insanity. I'll be...

There's a man at my gym who squats 225 and grunts so loud I can hear him through my noise-canceling headphones. Now, I can't squat that much myself, but it still doesn't seem like it warrants that...

Wellllll I don't really know how this posting pics things works but we'll see if I figured it out...

I have four. As you can see in my avi, I have a tree on my back. I also have my chest done - a sparrow on each side (one is a devil, one is an angel), with a star exploding from the center. And I...

^_^ Friday is my favorite day of the week purely because it's my designated "squat" day.
I set a new PR today (125 lbs/6 reps) AND I'm now only 10 lbs shy from my first goal (squat 135 - I want to...

Oi vey.
This sounds very eating-disordered to me. It is NORMAL for one's weight to fluctuate throughout the week which is why one should only weigh themselves once a week. Especially if one is...

Don't worry about what calories you will maintain on right now. Just eat to gain. Once you find a calorie level you make steady gains on, and get to a proper weight - THEN you can think about...

You definitely need to eat more than 2800 calories a day to gain weight. Especially at 17, you are still growing. Even if you weren't recovering from an ED, you'd still probably need exorbitant...

Just googled this. You are correct, apparently it is a thing. I will not be trying it either though lol.

Yesterday, a man was lying on a bench in the free weights section. I think he was thought he was doing crunches, but all he was doing was lifting his head and neck off the bench, and turning beet red...

I hate to nitpick, but lordosis is an exaggerated outward curve in the lumbar region. Flat back syndrome is caused by the loss of the natural lumbar curve (or, lordosis), resulting in a flat back....

Just wanted to say good luck! And you sound so motivated, I'm sure you'll succeed and them some. I've lost some weight recently too, got myself to 125 and then grossly underestimated what I needed...

The Ghost Inside - The Great Unknown. I have been addicted to this one lately, but the whole album is great.
