Its a sad and pathetic story but I have to tell it. So I've been talking to this girl online, shes beautiful, and we click super hard. Now I send her a picture where I used to be pretty thin while im fat now, I was scared of showing her my actual body because I'm ashamed of it and fear that she...

I have been working out at the complex at my condo unit. Now it is closing for repairs due to water damage for an unforeseen amount of time. I am not driving at the moment. I am looking at bus schedules to get to nearby gyms. I don't live close enough to get to one because I can't get around the...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this topic, but it's a simple one: What is your ideal physique and how far away are you from achieving it? I'm currently somewhere between skinny and skinny-fat (my profile pic was taken at the start of this year and I've since lost 15lb, mostly...

Hello everyone, I’m new to the community but I do referring site articles on gaining muscle etc. I’m struggled to gain muscle/weight. I’m hoping that some of you can provide advise for me. I’m 6”2 weighing 134lb super skinny. From childhood I was skinny and didn’t eat enough food. I depends...

Hello everyone. Sorry I had to come in all anon and ask questions. I just want to address this one issue pronto and go back to lurking. The post will be a wall so I'd appreciate it if you bear with me. So there's this guy I'm friend with. Not exactly best friend, so I didn't know much about him....

Where I am at right around a decade into iron therapy. Ran through my routine the day of the show when I got home, and some posing before and after it. L5lXa9TyD1E

Hi guys, I saw an ad in Facebook about a guy who gained 28 pounds in 8 months. This is the link: http://skinnytohero.com/ Is it scam? Or is it possible to gain that in 8 months?

I've been trying to hit a goal. it will be asier to hit that goal, if I was consistently working out in the morning. I have tried a lot, but keep failing any suggestions?

I have been dealing with depression since 2017 due to being unhappy at my job at the time, my dad passing and my ex at the time dumping me when I first found out my dad had cancer. In the passing months I did accomplish some things like losing weight, getting a new job, etc. Fast forward and I...

About four months ago, me and a few of my friends started lifting weights in the gym. They started doing split body routines their friends made up for them, but I started on the Fierce 5 workout (which is full body, obviously). Despite the fact that all my lifts are much higher than theirs, and...

I had to retire early from the military and fire fighting service because of my injuries in service and a very bad car accident that left me with a bad broken back. Im not sure if I can post videos here but I wanted to show you a youtube video that I thought was pretty inspirational. I dont...

Can you be "fit-shamed" in your gym? I am petite middle-aged female that can outlift and outperform a lot of men pound for pound in the commercial gyms (so I was told). I always possessed a strong work ethic, can lift heavy every day and I have the sculpting of a fitness competitor year-round. ...

Been lifting a couple years now, on and off through uni. Traditional hardgainer. I've recently (like 6 mo. ago) started finding stuff that works a lot better for me, but I have this mental block that I can't seem to get over. Growing up, I was always the weakest male in family, compared to my...

Long time lurker first post. Anyway after around 6 years of lifting my current maxes are around 225 bench, 315 squat and 420 deadlift with a bf of at least mid 20's. I feel I have wasted so much time program hopping and neglecting nutrition and could have reached these numbers so much quicker....

Hello. I want to hear your opinion, whether you agree or not! I see most lifters today who seem like not visualising their goals physique. What I mean is, lack of knowledge in bodybuilding, mainly proportion and symmetry. I’m not talking about people who just wanna get fit. When building a...

I need your help! Hey everyone! I used to be active on this page but for a while I took a back seat and just watched. My father got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (we caught it late- however it’s a quick cancer to begin with) we found out about January 2018. He passed away at home on March...

Hey All, I'm a college student and this summer I decided to change my life around for the best. Decided to cut down and lose bodyfat and then clean bulk. I will be updating this thread weekly with pictures and my macros for each day of the week. I have my first bodybuilding competition...

Hi everyone!! I have been working out and eating healthy for the past three years and this is the first semester I am just not able to keep up. I barely make it to the gym twice a week. Managing full time work and full time school is miserable and has compromised what I like to do in my own free...

I spent a year working out. Nothing is working. I feel confused and don't know where to start. I feel like I have to go back from square one from diet and workout. Im not doing well. Should I just pay a personal trainer for $400 just to train me. Where do I even begin? There are a lot of...

I try to get up at 6, and hit the gym by 630 or 645 to get a workout in before school. the gym is empty then, and I don't like when people I know see me working out (i';m a little overweight). Anyways, I always get up at 6, but just quickly talk myself into going back to bed, every time i try this...

Hey, I am a beginner. Lately, the entire month of february thus far, I have not skipped one day at the gym. I don't hit the same muscle groups back to back, I cycle them. I've been doing about 45 mins of lifting with 30 mins of cardio everyday. Considering my goal is to cut do I really need a...
