Hi girls the botton muscles of my butt have developed but the superior muscles of my glutes have not evolved. What would be some exercises to target the upper area of the butt? Thanks

I didnt know where to put this so i tried some different places. I know none of you are doctors (well i dont but i guess not haha). After working out a bit more than usual, my thumb feels weird. Ive been doing a lot of pullups lately so i guess the stress is because of the grip. What i wanted to...

My friend has been lifting for a couple of years but somewhat winging it sort of doing whatever she feels like that day but with some structure. She has two leg days where she leg presses as the main lift and squats the other day as the main lift. She then has an arm and back day, a chest and...

Hey, sorry if this question has already been asked but I'm new here. I've been off track for a year and I'm about to start a 10-week diet on my own. I'm still quite inexperienced so i'm just really confused about how I should approach this- I'm trying to drop 4-5% bodyfat (I'm at around 21%...

Hello, me again haha. As ive said in earlier posts ive been working out for about 2 years. Ive definitly gotten somwhere since i began, but ive kind of hit a wall as i made a post about earlier. So i looked into the fierce 5 program which im starting to do. My problem is tho, that when i began...

Hey, i am going in for a consult with a plastic surgeon in 3 weeks for a breast augmentation. before i make a rush decision on this, i want to know what some other women's experience is with B.A. A little about myself; i'm almost 19 yrs old i have almost no breast tissue glandular or fatty...

This is an odd one and dont know what thread to put this exactly. Ive been going to this gym for awhile now and I like it a lot. I made some good friends and Im generally very friendly easy going. Never had a problem from this gym but they have a few female bodybuilders there that I cant tell if...

Hello ladies I am new In this forum. I start my weight loss journey for over the years now, after 1 year of my journey I have been the same weight since the beginning of the year. Right now I am just focusing weightlifting and not doing any cardio or anything. My goal is to achieve a fatless...

I usually do 2 upper body workouts and 2 lower body workouts. My reps can go anywhere from 20 to 6. I usually start with lighter weight and more reps and decrease as I increase the weight. I usually do 4 sets unless I stick to higher reps (15-20), then I do only 3 sets. I usually work shoulder...

Hello I have never been able to do pullups before. Couldnt even do pushups once. Well recently i did 2 pullups (and a weird third that prob doesnt count) which is huge for me even though they probably werent that well executed. Since im new to this exercise i would like some help when it comes to...

I really want advice on my form in an exercise but since i have only posted 17 posts in total im not allowed to put in links. What do i do then?

I am currently a high school teacher and have a passion for fitness. I really would like to compete in a NPC bikini competition this summer. I have heard that some people compete with their middle name or an alias but I wouldn't know how to go about doing that. Anyone have experience with that? I...

Hello, ive been working out for a while and noticed progress in the beginning (newbiegains i suppose) but lately progress has been small. Im gonna get started on one of the many programs here but what confuses me is that before i simply had slow progress. Now i feel like im actually losing gains....

Hey i wanted to ask if uneven shoulders and winged scapulas (not that bad) is something that can be corrected through basic exercise? And do you know any exercises that will help this issue OR do you think should i go see a physotherapist? Its a struggle ive had for a while. I dont know what has...

Hello! I am a 21 year old female who has gotten into exercise about 1.5 years ago. I began trying to get into shape about a year ago using F45 (intense group training gym) and found it really worked for me. Now trying to transition into using a local gym myself for the past ~2 months, I've found...

Hi I'm not sure why I chose this forum, because I have never been close to a gym, but I think that I've got strong legs for a girl who doesn' work out and think that I have good potential for lower body strength. But I beat my boyfriend in leg wrestling recently, and he works out. I know that I'm...

How do you cope with PMS and training? I have about 10 days in my cycle where I either just want to cry and/or I'm so annoyed at such little things and I notice my motivation drops to "i'll do it tomorrow" level. Really messes with my training (and life!) Interested to hear about any vitamins...

Is creatine safe to take while breastfeeding??? Can you explain why or why not? I'm guessing since there have been no studies on this that it's probably best NOT to take it while still breastfeeding. But I would really appreciate some input. THANKS!

hi everyone! this is my first post here - i am 20 and female. I've been going to the gym for around 1.5 yrs now and have been doing very 'basic' weight lifting - by this i mean just using dumbells, kettlebells, maybe the occasional barbell. i have gotten stronger through this but i have always had...
