Need some input here. What are the best stores or brands for dress or casual men's shirts for a tapered physique? I've tried 'slim fit' shirts. Those are too tight through the arms. I have many 'fitted' or 'athletic fit' shirts, but would still like something more narrow through the waist of...

Don’t make events that happen around you mean anything negative about you… 99% of all the stuff happening around us is outside of our control, it just happens. It’s illogical to make it mean something about us… Be a good person for yourself, help others for yourself, be cheeky at the right times...

Hello everyone! I started crossfit about 3 months ago. Before that, I injured my knees and back by doing regular bodybuilding. After several visits to the doctor and some medicines my knees recover very well but not my back. My doctor advised me to workout Upper body on Day 1, Lower body on Day 2,...

Hi all, When I started lifting at the age of 19 I became sized up pretty easily while I never been above a body fat of 15%. Now that I'm down at 9% and been down even as low as 5% with a solid amount of mass and definition; there's only 1 thing that bothers me enormous: on both! front delts...

A few months ago, I herniated one of my lumbar discs and bulged another lumbar disc (I'm 16). After I got an MRI, it was discovered that I also have arthritis in my lumbar or pelvis area (I forget). It hurts so much to work out because of my back spasms and the pain of lifting a weight. I've tried...

I find comfort in knowing that what separates extraordinarily brilliant results from mediocrity is being consistent day in, day out. Patience is arguably key. You will not see the results you want tomorrow, or in a months time, or even in 6 months time. This is a long haul, and in order to succeed...

Remember back a few years when i had super motivation and worked hard, i did everything good and kept the motivation for a while.. then i randomly stopped for some reason.. I did not lose my motivation, but I sort of paused it After one and a half year now I'm ready to start, do it right and...

My main question is why have I struggled and continue to struggle to bench my bodyweight? I started working out about two years ago. When I started I was 6ft and weighed 140lbs(I know that's like a skeleton). I was taken under the wing by friends of mine who all are in pretty good shape. Lets...

"The distance between who you are and who you could have been always widens over the course of your life. Nobody will ever know just how far apart they are but you....and that distance is the true measure of a human being. We all find many ways to sabotage our own potential. We put 60% effort...

Would I get more attention from girls if I go from 5'7" 120lbs to around a lean weight like 160 or so?

I've been wanting to cut but I can not seem to get into the right mindset. I am 5'11 at 226 lbs and not happy about it. But I find myself giving into food cravings, and unwilling to spend time in the gym or doing cardio. I always seem to rather goof off on the couch instead. How do any of you...

Hey guys, My name is Robert and I look forward to using this forum as a way to build and keep motivation. A few months ago I tipped the scales at 340lbs, angry at myself I decided to change things. I ate way better and started going to a gym, and things were going really well. I dropped down to...

I love weed but I am a busy person so I never get a chance to smoke it recreationally. So one day I was listening to JRE and he mentioned that he smokes before working out and that it helps. So I gave it a shot and, holy crap, it works! It calms me down and makes the entire workout more pleasurable...

Never had a 6 pack before. I wanted one really bad so after reading a lot of materials and using a few calculators, I finally figured out my diet and exercise and started cutting with carb cycling. I was already working out a lot and at a healthy body fat percentage, it was just the diet part that...

I made this and hope it motivates you! XTkH1KjkE9o

Have you grown sick of the hustle, bustle, and sweat-stained walls of the typical commercial gym? Do you find the travel time associated with getting to and from your local workout center affects the amount of sessions you can get in each week? Are you simply fed up of paying through the nose for...

I go through phases where I just "don't care" aka eating badly, not training hard and living unhealthy. Right now, I'm wanting to go on a mini cut for a beach vacation but it's like I don't care as much as I used to. My ultimate goal is to cut down a little (then build muscle/body recomp) but...
