Hello all. I've been a fairly thin person my whole life, never had noticeable abs, not ecto. More like between meso.. I've been working out a year now, I'm 28, 5'11. 165. I'm gaining strength, everyone in my family has a cut. Rest of their old fat bodies are fairly thin. So on a GOOD day,...

Hi folks. This is my first post ever. I am looking for ideas on how to lose my lower abdominal fat. My stats are 5’3” and currently 135 lbs. I’ve been training along with the beach body programs for the past two years and I am the leanest I’ve ever been. I’ve been in a low carb calorie deficit for...

I've been on the weight loss journey for 10 months now. I've gone from 204lb with 30%BF to 160 with 18%BF, this was a combination of calorie deficit and cardio training. Now I'm stuck at 160 with 18%BF, the measurement comes from a scale. I know many will jump and say it's crap, I did tape myself...

Just finished 12 week of fat loss, lost around 15 lbs, still got 20 lbs more to lose. My question is how important are maintenance phases and lower volume training between the phases? People like Mike Israetel and Layne Norton always preaches some type of reverse diet or maintenance phase after...

I have been living a sedentary lifestyle and so accumulated weight. Being an ectomorph I don?t gain easily, but by not moving, and a little older now, it has come on a bit. Far more active these last few months, walking every day for a couple of hours, I have been able to get my weight down by...

I am about to have to go to about 3 weddings in 4 months and I am trying to lose my covid weight.

However, I do have a gym...

I'm at a crossroads here. I'm a little frustrated but learning to enjoy/accept the process lol. I'm new here as of today but I've been obsessed with bodybuilding and the fitness lifestyle on and off for 10 years now. As far as genetics go, they aren't great. Always struggled with weight my entire...

Hi Guys, Not sure why i always feel extremely tired when running. I can do weight lifting for 1 - 2 hours without any problems, but during the cardio days, I cannot even running on the trendmill for 10mins. I start to feel tired after 5mins of the run ( 6.0 speed on trendmill). Today I pushed...

Welcome ❤️ As stated this is a continuing thread that has been going on quite a few years now this will cover a 12 week period. Enter starting weight next Friday and then weigh in on a weekly basis using your weekly average. Good to be back with you since having the last 12 weeks bulking. ...

Working out for 10 weeks - increase strength but I don’t know if my body has changed. I have before and after photos - not sure how to post these here? Wondered if someone could have a look and let me know if they see any differences? If not - I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! Following the...

I’ve Been doing a hour of cardio, lifting, and eating one light meal a day in a one meal a day fasting the other 23 hours a day. Haven’t lost one pound in 2 weeks of doing this. Is there’s usually a delayed effect to losing weight that hits weeks after the work and diet done, or is something...

I'm fairly new to fitness, worked out for a few months, eventually stopped because of stuff, now I'm kind of chubbed up (M17, 5'11.65, 78kg/171.9lbs) cause I stayed at the same ~300 caloric surplus give or take, hence gained some fat, especially on my lower back and hips. I got back onto working...

Hello! I haven't worked out consistently since 2014.. I am getting back into it starting today! I unfortunately gained 30lbs since then.. I have never had to lose weight before... Can I lift heavy,? Do I need to lift light and do more reps,? Do I need to incorporate longer cardio sessions in...

By looking at my most recent photo you might think "you need to cut fat ****." The only reason I'm asking is because I have lost a lot of muscle due to not working out and eating poorly. So I am wondering if a bulk can be beneficial 197 to 205 due to muscle memory. For example my arms 14.5 L and 15...
