I can only assume why you deleted this comment and decided to bother me in personal messages instead. But reading this I can't really believe your PM to me where you say you meant no disrespect mate. I don't even know what pumping iron is and I don't base my personality on the gym either, I...

@zanyteen16 Mate, I mean this with all due respect, but it doesn't sound like you understand what you are talking about. Increasing weight is not the bread and butter of progress in fitness. Intensity is the word you should focus on. It doesnt matter if you use additional weights or just your...

@dawn16 I was mostly talking about the fact that every gym bro, maybe you are one of them, tries to push their own narrative onto others. "You gotta train to failure everytime bruh" "You gotta do this and that amount of reps for optimal muscle development, bruh" "Bruh that exercise is...

@zanyteen16 I am sorry but I do not understand what you mean. Bodyweight training (calisthenics) is not more or less complicated than regular gym training. It all has its own benefits and downsides. Personally I think calisthenics has more benefits, but what matters is what you enjoy doing...

@zanyteen16 You can achieve the most amazing physique without ever having pushed or pulled more than your own bodyweight mate, your understanding of the topic might be very wrong and I say that as a bodybuilder. It is absolutely possible to achieve amazing results in a year. Things like...

@jacksonjogu Everything works. That is what I realized after almost two years of working out daily. It doesnt matter if you go 4 times a week or 6, or if you do short sets with heavy weight or long sets with less weight or long sets with heavy weights. The only thing that matters is how you...

@eileentee Brother, the gym is a place for people trying to improve and take care of themselves. This is exactly where you belong and just because you maybe don't compare to other people who frequent that place daily you are still a part of it. I felt exactly the same and I can tell you not...

@blueskies88 If you want to reach your physical potential, having a thorough diet is a must. Or you won't grow as much as you can.

@thebrittschmitt Injury and therefore cockiness. I wanted too much too fast. Don't get me wrong, I am still going strong after 20 months and have clocked in way over 365 gym visits, but what always sets me back are injuries. I so far had a pulled muscle in my abdomen, an inflamed biceps tendon...

@caresirs It is not assisted, it is more isolated if you ask me. Who do you gonna go for tips regarding exercise? A guy that held several world champion titles in boxing or your friend? :D

@diane44 There is a bunch of things happening in your body once you start to train. Your testosterone levels rise, your body retains more water in order to repair the muscle tissue and depending on your initial physique it might appear like you are making crazy fast progress, which is called the...

@childofthealmighty 31m, got into fitness last year in june - my app tells me I visited the gym 265 times and that would not count the days where I forgot my membership card (happens a lot xD) nor the days where I worked out elsewhere or at home. I can tell you the top secret solution to your...

@petronela It always comes down to what you want to achieve. You will never build huge amount of muscles when you are in a deficit to lose fat. Personally, I did a 3 day split followed by a 2 day split for nearly two years and dropped almost 15% bodyfat. IMO you can achieve that by doing...

@safsafs I mean if you take the facts that muscles require a caloric surplus for maximum growth and that you only burn fat on a caloric deficit then it is clear that there must be more to this than just a simple contradiction. Its not as black and white and it highly depends on your level of...
