When I look in one mirror I look great, but when I look in another mirror I look totally out of shape. What gives? If the mirrors are slightly bulged or warped, or not positioned upright properly does that make a big difference? Kind of frustrating when I glance at the bathroom mirror and I...

Dear All, I am looking to connect with others who have returned to exercise and weightlifting after illness of injury. Lucky me, I had both. I wish to return to exercise in whatever capacity I can while healing continues. I would love to read stories and advice from those who have experienced...

I want to consider where I am now a clean slate. I am 5'5 and 133lbs last year I lost a good deal of weight going from a little over 200 to my current weight. Pretty much by cutting out pasta and sugar. I am now skinny fat. I work from home and actually have agoraphobia and PTSD. I have trouble...

Hi all I have been working out off and on for years now. I can make really good progress when I do workout. My biggest problem is my weird passion. When I am passionate I can workout most days of the week and on days off I'm looking forward to the next workout. I get up early to get to the gym,...

I signed up to the gym 5 months ago. My plan was to consistently go 3 times per week. So I should've done 60 sessions by now, but I've only actually done about 40 sessions. Some reasons for skipping the gym: 1) I had a cold and took 1.5 weeks off. 2) I had food poisoning and took 1.5 weeks...

Hey guys Im currently doing clean bulk and I see fine results till now in terms of gaining weight and lifting weight and here is my quiestion Does lifting correctly and (non-beginner-weight) necessarly mean that I will be able to lift thing that aren't gym weights? I ask that because I work in a...

Hi, Just to be clear, I am not here to advertise or promote any business. This is about an idea or a concept that I have set up with some friends and that we would like to test: We believe, that any goal can be achieved with enough motivation and support from like-minded people. To...

I have been trying to get in the best shape of my life again like you guys, but I just end up sitting in the sauna and jacuzzi switching back and forth for 30minutes (its what it feels like, i don't really do this). I also drink some beers on my days off. I go with low calorie beers. my...

This is probably a stupid question. But do you get 'gains' (visible or otherwise) per-workout? I read that your muscles start to deteriorate after 2-4 weeks of inactivity and I was wondering if working out once per-week would illicit gains, hypertrophic or strength-wise, or if that would only be...

I've had a BodyBuilding account for God knows how long and I never really used it until this year. Something inside me was just tired of being overweight and I snapped. I'm about 5'11" and I weigh 275 lbs, carried mostly on my chest and abdomen. I've tried to get in shape a few times, even...

Male, 39, 5"10'. The new year is in front of me. 2020 has got to be a defining year. To tell you the truth, this is not a new year's resolution, at least not one of the "I'll go to the gym everyday" kind that is usually broken before February even appears on the calendar. Why not? Because 2019...

Here it is:

due to illness i am losing my strength and gains.... Really need some motivation

I made an account here ages ago to post something... and I've got to say... what even is this username/picture?? :| Anyways, to the point. After some looking around I decided this section is where this post fit the best, as it's just kind of a long-winded 'I don't know what to do' post. For...

So I was lifting weights, but lost motivation before I made noticeable progress. I'm a full time college student, and quite busy. I barely had enough motivation to get through this last semester of college, yet somehow managed to get good grades in all my classes. I want to start at the weights...

How do you find the motivation to start, when all you want to do is curl up in bed and stare at the wall? And yes, I am currently taking an antidepressant.
