Hey guys this is my first post so please take it easy on me and I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate place to post this, but I looked around and it seems the most applicable. I'm a 27y/o male. 170lbs 5'8" Just as the subject says for some reason the more I work out the less of a sex drive I...

I'm a young guy and I'm very skinny. I've thought about going to the gym, but I can never seem to get over the fear of being the smallest person, having people give me looks for being super skinny and talking about it. What could I do about this? What has helped you in the past?

I used to get motivated alone by feeling weird if I didn't go to the gym. Now that my routine isn't as consistent as it used to be, that no longer motivates me. Any tips?

Anyone know where Ronnie Coleman says "Gotta get JUICED! I GOT TO GET JUICED!!!!" this line before lifting a lot of weight? This line permenantly lives in my memory and gets me hyped in a gym, but I can't tell if this is a video thats no longer around? Reps for replies.

Ignore my username I made this account 7 years ago. I’ve been lifting for about 8 years steadily, a few injuries have kept me out of the gym at times. Anyways I’m 25 and 6 ft 220lbs ~17% bodyfat. I’m supposed to be finishing up a 12 week PPL routine but I just can’t get myself to workout these last...

I've been working out for about 18 years. I have an average body. Some say I don't eat enough protein. Others say I am not lifting hard enough. I am completely unsure about what "hard" is supposed to mean. I try to go as heavy as possible and still have good form by the end of my third set. I...

Yesterday I injured my shoulder pretty badly. I went to the gym, stepped on the treadmill to warm up and guess what happened. I finished my running, pressed the button to stop but the machine got stuck. It kept running but I thought it stopped, so I stepped in the middle. At the same time I was...

Hi all, Curious as to what motivates other guys to get into bodybuilding and what motivates you to keep going. I started working out in college because I was always the weakest, scrawniest kid in my family and school, and my brother, cousins and dad really made me aware of it. I think I’m...

Hi all, Just in advanced, this entire thread is going to sound very stupid but I'm not sure what to do and I have to be honest. So I did gain a bit of belly fat, man boobs, and my face got a bit of weight in the last year or so. I do get excited of the idea of going to GYM but like most...

I'm sure you've all heard the obligatory on again off again workout posts with motivation and the like. I'm afraid this will be another one of those posts because, frankly I have no idea where to start. It's no surprise that the past couple of years has been a rollercoaster for all of us. 2019...

I am new to working out and strength training. As some background, I am 29 years old, 290 pounds and finally decided to take back control over my life. With that being said, I can’t seem to figure out the right workout program, or figure out the right number of calories to eat. My current...

There is a lot of up and down here, but this is meant to be positive OVERALL. I am not terribly young, but I have trained and trained HARD off and on for decades. Typically getting away from the gym when working 12-14 hour shifts and being on call all night for years, or doing yoyo shifts (Mon...
