@bravechrisitian There are many different ways to achieve (almost) the same physique. What works for one may not work for others. I am following several influencers, and they all do different things. One only lifts weights and does zero cardio, another one does every exercise to absolute...

@ferero I built some muscle, strength, and endurance (I also occasionally did HIIT classes called BodyAttack). I had anorexia before it, so I started from zero. Went from ~48 to ~52 kg. But my nutrition was quite bad, so I surely could've benefited more from it. Also, it wasn't that consistent...

@girdyourloins Thank you so much for the suggestions!

@tmi11er Didn't even notice it. I think it's just angle/lighting, or maybe my posture is slightly different in the second pic. I doubt that you can change the shape of your collarbones with exercise 😅 But yes, the leaner you are, the more visible they are. I believe pecs affect it as well. My...

@girdyourloins No, I haven't tested my 1RM for anything, should I? I'm not following any particular scheme. Basically if I can do 3×8 dips, I increase the weight and stay at this weight until I can do 3×8 again. For pull-ups, I can do 5 kg ×7, 6, 5, I'm thinking about trying 6.25 kg 2×6. No, I...

@girdyourloins Great post and congrats! It's a HUGE achievement for a woman (sorry, men, not so impressive in your case hehe). I'm on my muscle-up journey as well, and it was really nice to see that I'm doing the exact same things that you suggested: weighted pull-ups, weighted dips, banded...

@anguspure Thank you! So happy to inspire someone 🥹

I've been debating for a while whether I should make this post because my results are not particularly impressive. But progress can look like this too, so I still want to share it. General information Bulk: Sept 2023 - middle of Feb 2024. Cut: middle of Feb - end of March. Stats: 27 y.o...

@johnmogro It's something super generalized and mostly for gym bros I think (but tbh I like these numbers, too 😅). Just nice numbers that are easy to memorize. If you look at some website like this one (idk whether it's a good one, just the one I found by googling) then the standards are...

@naate I benched my bodyweight (126.5 lbs) exactly once in my life! It was this August, but then I got sick, started bulking and switched to higher reps. I hope to re-achieve it in 2024

@johnmogro From what I've seen, it's usually 0.7x (or 0.75?) bw for OHP, 1x for bench, 1.5x for squat, and 2x for deadlift. I was hoping to achieve at least three of these this year, but, well, I only achieved one and am still happy

@sparklepaws23 Being able to eat a lot without gaining weight. Looking good, too

@marilines I'm not an expert, but I'd keep calories the same for one more week. Your body might need time to react to the deficit. Also, plateaus are normal during weight loss. So I'd wait for another week and then reassess
