Hey everybody, I'm a strength enthusiast who's been lifting for something like 14 years now. At the present moment I'm pretty washed up after a series of small injuries which have affected my mobility but in the past few weeks I've recovered enough to be able to perform my main movements with...

After a two month layoff from the weights, I will be making a fresh start following Starting Strength for an undetermined amount of time. This time around, I know what and what not to do, so there will be...

It's been a long time since I last posted on these forums. I've been training consistently for a long time again and have shifted focus over the last couple of years from powerlifting to physique oriented goals. I went from a really fat 205 lbs at 5'6 to 162 at my lowest in January 2021. I've gone...

Mostly using this so I have a back-up in case my workout journal gets lost/dies. My main goal is to get stronger and lean up a bit. 250 is the heaviest I've ever been and I'd like to get down to about 225. Training has been crazy inconsistent for years and I'm coming back from a mini training...

As some of you know I've been cutting. I feel I've now got lean enough to do a lean bulk for the long term. I will not be chasing bodyweight increase but will increase food when needed. I have neglected legs and this will be reflected in my starting numbers but I will be training them hard from now...

Hi! So, I'm making a thread here to gauge my progress. I am beginning with a skinny physique, not much muscles or bodyfat, except for the legs which are somewhat decent. I'm 6'2 and was 75.6 kg / 166.67 lbs on the 18th of April. A few days later I took these measurements. Chest 97,5 cm...
