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...

What are the main motivations you have for going to the gym?

Current Situation : 126lbs. Previous Situation : I can recall being 125lbs six years ago. Never moved from that weight, have been that weight for the entire high school years. Last summer, I went up to 130 lbs (due to mass gainer), down to 125lbs at summers end down to 120lbs at the end of...

Upped my bench 15 pounds (65-80) yesterday from last week. Straight barbell curl upped to 50lb today from 30. I know they're b**** weights, but I'm happy to make gains while trying to drop 70 pounds. Hopefully tomorrow I'll see some gains in legs. Title related: buble came on the workout...

This isn't good or bad (depending on how you look at it), but interested/odd. I usually go to the gym after I get off of work (straight from work to the gym), I get there today, and there's a sign on the door saying "Well's Fargo has foreclosed on this property: closed for business". It's crazy...

I think getting into, taking in, and getting out of your own head for the activity of fittness and Really get into the activity, afterwards you’ll feel like you gave your brain a rest. That’s why I think working out your body is great for your mental health and makes you more grounded and connected...

I have cerebral palsy. It's mild and only effects the way I walk. I go to a mainstream school. People always make up reasons as to why I walk a certain way, they never really ask. My guess is because you probably wouldn't know I had a disability if it wasn't said. I'm even in a few honors...

Ladies! Men, how do you stay motivated to keep fit thru holidays/winter season? Eeeeek.......

I can work out either in the morning or the evening, given my 9-5 schedule. If I do it in the morning, i'm a useless lump at work. If I do it in the evening, I sleep forever (like 10+ hours), often through my alarm, and am half-useless at work the next day. I enjoy the exercising, but I...

Hi all. I've recently been diagnosed with bipolar type 2, which explains a lot about my previous attempts in trying to get fit / not fat. The thing is that I've always drifted into some serious depression when I've tried to workout and get proper fit...which leads to comfort eating... End result...

Hey all, I have made a video that will motivate guys who are newbies. My body was **** but I put my effort to make it good. I hope this will motivate you! youtu.be/dspT4E8mPFw

Just started squatting a few weeks ago, have been squatting 60kg. After each set I'll feel my lower back sore...

Today I'm going to tell you my 3 top notch "GOLDEN" nutrition attributes that helped me to gain muscle. 1. Dried chicken breasts on a radiator 2. BIO organic brown pasta rich in protein and fiber, gluten & lactose-free, histamine & biogenic amines free and totally human free 3. One trash to...

Hello All, I have been going to the gym on and off for approaching two years. At my local gym, there are plenty of people that I see who maybe visit the gym 3-4 times consistently week in and week out. Now, I visit the gym, but I always stop and start, which is frustrating. For example,...

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...

When you want something so bad, you think about it every min, dream about it day and night. You research, study, plan, test methods, you train, sweat, ache and bleed, everything you do revolves around that dream.. like you we born to conquer it. Most people will tell you it’s a far fetched dream...

Hello, I'm pretty new to this forum. I've lurked for a while but just recently created an account. I've been trying to get more into health and fitness since I know that I need a lifestyle change. I work at an office for 8 hrs every day and I think it's starting to have its toll on me. You would...

I have been hitting the gym since March 3rd and picked up the Stronglifts routine around late March. I have gotten stronger since starting but my progress is pretty low, particularly my upper body lifts for the time I have spent in the gym. I didn't get much done in the first 3 weeks in the gym...

Weird. Normal day at work, and I looked at the mirror and I was about to cry in the restroom. I've been going to the gym for like 8 years now and NOTHING is changing. I guess the good thing is, I'm NOT getting bigger, but the bad thing is I don't see a transformation whatsoever... I'm 31 now...
