Hey guys.l used to be a weightlifter. I quit in 2018 . Sometimes l train legs just for fun (once or twice a week) .I still have muscular legs. I tried jogging/running and l love it. I want to jog/run 5 times a week. Every morning and l will lift in the afternoon. So my main goal is to get big quads...

alright, so I got stubborn ass biceps. I’ve been lifting for a couple years, and over the years I’ve seen significant gains in all of my muscles except for my biceps. sure they’ve grown a little, but definitely not much. I know genetics probably play into this at least a little because I have...

So I’m 30 and a mom of three. Since turning 30 and having my third child l really want to lose weight and have more energy and just be healthy all overall. I work from home and have zero time to go to a gym, I can start by doing good home work outs- Im trying to get this going and I have no clue...

I wish I had found these videos couple years ago (impossible cuz these were published like a few months ago lol). I’ve been dealing with progressing on my squat and squats just not feeling natural to me. Butt wink had been an issue also...talked to the people at the gym - they said feet...

So I have a lat machine with a hinge at the top and one at the bottom which can't be adjusted. The hinge is where the cable runs from and joins to the end part (long bar handle, short handle etc) When doing rows with a barbell I've noticed I get a lower back ache. This week I tried with...

Hello everyone Gyms are closed. I hardly made visual gains. Am skinny guy who doesn’t want to be skinny again. I have light dumbells and I got a pull up bar and a dips stand. Any tips and recommendations on continuing on building muscle.

Yo any of you guys know of any good exercises I can use to target my rhomboids apart from barbell rows and pendlay rows. I live in the uk and gyms are closed due to lockdown so I only have a barbell and dumbbells atm.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good exercise for strengthening the lower trap. The two I've found are pull/chin ups and trap raises.

What would you expect a newcomer to the gym and to exercise in general, in the 18 to 35 male demographic be able to lift on these lifts? Squat Deadlift Bench Standing press Power clean So I'm asking for untrained 1 rep maxes on day one.

What exercises do you guys use to target the long head of the triceps?

I'm a little confused here....I see the Stairmaster mentioned as a good leg/glute builder, but also mentioned as good cardio. Some people say not to do cardio after leg day, but then how does Stairmaster get incorporated into a leg workout if it can hurt recovery? I plan to do a upper body/lower...

Been reading and asking around and it seems the general consensus is that low bar squatting is easier for most people, and enables greater poundage due to more muscle recruitment. That said, while some experienced lifters have a natural advantage with high bar, for many taller people with long...

I’m on allpro I failed bench on my last test day. And I’m approaching my test day again next week. I already feel like I’m going to fail bench again. That will be 10 weeks at the same weight on bench. If anything I feel like my bench is getting weaker. What could be the cause of this? ...

Hi everyone I have been on my weight loss journey for 7 months. So far 76 pounds lost! Originally was morbidly obese. The question - I am having quite a bit of difficulty achieving the correct form for the front squat. I know for the front squat your back is supposed to be straight and not...

Embarrassing subject but I'd like views from lifters who have the unfortunate experience of getting hemorrhoids after a heavy session of lifting. Generally it's due to your diet if you don't eat enough fibrous foods and then you strain too much on the toilet. In my case it happens when I strain...

Hello, I've heard some people mention benching with a slight incline and I'm wondering about people's knowledge and/or experience with this because I am considering it. I'm going to be following a program that includes only flat bench barbell pressing in terms of chest exercises (also overhead...

The theory goes that: - Heavy weight, low reps creates hard, dense muscle - Light weight, high reps creates big, soft muscle Always sounded like broscience to me. Muscle is muscle right? Surely “soft” muscle would just mean you’re carrying extra fat (and to some extent, water weight)?

Hi guys! Do you go to the gym or do sports at home? I am curious whether fintess applications could be a good alternative to visiting gyms. I've heard that today fitness app development is a very popular topic and there is a wide variety of such apps. If you are doing sports using such app, share...

Hey, Recently started doing french presses with the ez curl bar as my main tricep excercise and i like it. But i find myself doing 2 different motions in the middle of the set, its strange. When im holding the bar ontop of my head and begin lowering it i do either 1 of these 2 things, 1 - I...

Hiya, new beginner armbuilder enthusiast here, a quick question please: is it possible just to train arms and how would that effect the amount of protein i will need to take if its just the arms and nothing else?

Just wondering what leg press hits more typically, glutes or quads? My glutes are fried from leg press, much more than quads. Wondering if this could indicate a slight imbalance. Oddly enough my glutes don't feel worked super hard squatting or deadlifting.

Hello, i have a question. I train classic fullbody training 4x per week. I have bodyweight dips and pull-ups in my routine. Im bulking, so i gained some muscle mass and some fat (not many) for the time im bulking. I have no problem with regeneration or progressive overload, im getting stronger too...

This will help you boost your immune and build your body system,so that you won't fall a victim of diseases or to get infected.

I put a table with my exercises and weights. Is the progression on bicep curls too quick for a program that only does an exercise once a week? I made a thread about doing to tricep press downs and a few people mentioned about adding reps before adding the next weight (because the machine...

Hello, I am looking to develop large thighs & in the past, I have enjoyed the isolation & "pump" that lying hamstring curls give me. I took a break from working out due to poor mental health, but now that I am back starting again, I am afraid of the crippling sciatica I have experienced...
