    I made a journal to follow the recommended routine - what’s missing from it?

    @cantsed This is so cool! May I ask what program you used for the sheets and cover?? Or is it just some google or Microsoft office program?

    I’ve stalled at losing weight!

    @jwright219 Wow you're not eating much! How's your energy level?? A typical 5'5" female needs ~1800 to run even with a sedentary lifestyle ("eating at maintenance"). For some perspective, 1200 is the typical lowest recommended cal intake. Eating way lower than that can trigger your body to adapt...

    I’ve stalled at losing weight!

    @jwright219 What does your diet history look like? Do you track your calories? If so, what are you eating at? The good news about cardio is that it HELPS with losing weight, but ultimately it comes down to diet. There's a phrase about this, "You can't outrun a bad diet" and it's totally true! I...

    Can’t wake up after a hard workout

    @robg I skimmed the comments and everyone is saying to get more high quality sleep. I will add that it's important you look at your overall recovery. If you're working out hard every week, you won't get any net gains if you only let your body recover what you just used up the previous workout--...

    6 Month Handstand Progress: What It Really Takes & 3 Biggest Lessons

    @jesiah Congrats on the progress! I’ll add that handstands can be a reflection of everyone’s individual weaknesses. My wrists are more stable than my shoulders, so to me, shoulders come first. They’ve never automatically fallen into place— I’ve had to work on technique over and over again. For...

    Body exercises for the obese?

    @nickale Heyyyy I have that too!!! PCOS makes it harder to lose weight because your TDEE is lower than someone without PCOS. It fucking sucks. Annddd even without PCOS, comparing someone who is, say, 150lb with a history of 200lb vs someone who's always been around 150lb, the one who used to be...

    Let's have a conversation about squatting, and ignorance

    @judee Unfortunately it's easier to think in black & white instead of considering the entirety of the circumstance. In some modalities, there are specific rules, and if the person wants to train under that framework, then ok great. But for something like general quality of life, there's a lot of...

    What do you think of my back and neck and how can I fix it?

    @bao3niang I wrote an in-depth post a while ago on r/posture including a list of exercises & stretches for forward head/shoulders and APT. Look over the discussion too, it'll be informative for you You're not seeing any improvements so far because you're still continuing to do the things that...

    My outdoor bodyweight gym. It's not much but it's mine

    @usexpat97 Very cool! How long did it take to put together? Just curious, what is the high wooden beam on the right for? (The one perpendicular to the bar for rings and the removable bar for your kids)

    My Handstand Journey: What I wish I knew when I began

    @jesusloverr I wrote an in-depth post on straight handstand technique a while ago here It is literally everything I know about straight HS's so I hope it's helpful to someone here! One common thing that a lot of beginners are not aware of is the importance of two exercises: heel pull & toe...

    Daily full body -how important is variety?

    @chris1975 Variety is def something to be considered. If you want to work breadth of movement, yes train variety. If you want specific strength & hypertrophy gains, then you send the strongest message to your body that you want to build strength & muscle in this movement, in this range, by...

    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    @bibbigo I agree that modern-day living already has a bias towards IR. More often, people have trouble with ER and proper scapular stabilization, and need to be extra mindful of that (this is a very common theme that physios work on with patients). I do both IR and ER band work, but I do more...

    Can’t stop binging carbs after I’ve started heavier strength exercises?

    @nannyo12 Makes sense! Stress can def trigger these cravings, plus carbs are the natural/go-to energy source for us so also makes sense that you're wanting more now that you've increased the amount of work your muscles are doing!

    I did GtG with weighted dead bugs for 3 months and got a lot of core strength gains

    @sarah1977 People say "flat back" meaning low back specifically. You're fine!

    Anyone here gone to a physical therapist for shoulder pain? Can they discover the problem without an X-ray?

    @thups Hey there! I have been a PT patient, and I also work with people trying to get on top of their mobility as a trainer. It's wise to get on top of little tweaks/twangs before they get worse. Once something gets to the point where it HURTS, it needs additional work to bring it back from the...

    REPORT! I did 100 pull ups a day for 30 days. The result was amazing!!

    @rarelozo It can be difficult to eat enough protein to support muscle growth. Eating 1/3 or 1/4 of every meal as protein is a good place to start (of course you also need to be on a training program). You can post form checks here! Check out the Daily Help Thread. (And yeah, what the other...
