After stopping lifting you lose the strength and muscles you gained right?

My sleep schedule is pretty screwed so I need some tips on trying to get fit during the night. I keep reading things on the internet that says that people that stay up for the majority of the night are prone to gaining weight. I know that some of you guys out there probably work on a nocturnal...

Pour moi, it's the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. LOVE it.

I'm a young guy and I'm very skinny. I've thought about going to the gym, but I can never seem to get over the fear of being the smallest person, having people give me looks for being super skinny and talking about it. What could I do about this? What has helped you in the past?

Ok so after the last lockdown (lasting 5 months) I did some home workouts which sucked major ass, I am now back to a decent level of strength (stronger than I was before) and now we're locking down again for 1 month. I just need to hear about potential muscle loss during this month when all I...

Hey everyone. Wondering if anyone has been or is in the same boat I was. I was a gym/fitness addict for about 10 years , train everyday and time I could. I said I would never stop doing it. Anyway in 2017 just happened to fall out of love for it, it felt like a chor and just got bored what...

Ever since COVID-19 shut down the gyms in my area, I've gotten out of shape and started to eat more unhealthy foods. My max for squat was 275, bench 215, deadlift 320, and my age is 18. I'm now trying to get back into the gym but I'm struggling and don't know where I should start. I feel like all...

Hi, Scragsmagoo here. Any advice for muscle gains for somebody who has a super fast metabolism? So, I used to weigh the same weight for years, even through highschool I was only 110 pounds. As of now I'm 31 and weighing in at 130 pounds. I just started working out about a year and a half ago and I...

How are you doing guys?

So I don't have any problem going to the gym (average 4 times a week), but sometimes find that once I'm there I have very little energy or motivation to lift hard and really push myself and feel like I've made hardly any progress (I'm naturally very skinny but been lifting consistently now for over...

I train consistently and do it almost everyday for a few year but i had never commit myself fully into training.I do had a breif few days where i was hyped about training but then the hype is gone and my motivation hit a little.I still go to the gym and give my all,what i wanted to say is people...

Have not lifted at all since March when they closed all the gyms. Had nothing at home so the only lifting I did was body weight stuff. That lasted for about a month and half. But I have been walking 2 miles or riding my bike almost every day. Recently I finally managed to get a bench and some...

i know that some of you will criticize and say this post is filled with egotism, but thats not the main reason I want to post this. I am a drug addict. I have spent multiple years in prison, been in a long and toxic relationship, and at one point I was 120lbs and absolutely hated my life. I was a...

Hi folks. I’m training 3 times a week with my trainer and loving it. Lifting weights helps fight depression and it’s the best thing that’s happened to me. I’m looking for some sort of competition or transformation challenge that I want to enter though. I’m a tub right now but I’ve cleaned up my...

Yeah

My world is physically falling apart but what is getting me harder than anything this week is insomnia, anyone else feeling this too just lately?

Hey guys! ever since the pandemic we all know that gym and other fitness centres have been closed and have yet to be opened in my place. I was an enthusiast in both dieting as well as working out and was going in a good path ever since the lock down. Now when i want to go back to the my fitness...
