    Slow progress

    Hi. I'm (M26) already working out for almost 1 year in the gym but I think I'm having slow progress in weight loss. I started last year November na 85kgs and yesterday I weighed 72kgs.

    I don’t understand the direction this sub has taken in the past months.

    Being a struggling vegan- one who tries to maintain the lifestyle out of love for animals and my own health, I find myself massively disappointed and dismayed at the volume of posts by obvious steroid users. I’m not judging them, or you if you use them. It just feels so counterintuitive to the...

    Thoughts on this Upper/Lower split?

    I have been running PPL x Arnold for some time now and I feel like it is talking a toll on my body. What do you guys think about my planned workout split? (Will try to hit every set for failure). Each set will be done in a 6-8 rep range and will be doing progressive overload if 8 is easily...

    Help me understand low RPEs in kettlebell programming

    In much of Neupert's programming (and others too but this comes to mind first), the prescribed starting weight might be say 10RM (taking this as an example without going into specifics) and then the rep ranges are very low say 4-5-6 reps per set in a wave. Now that would make the effort per set...

    Is it possible to lower your AF Fees?

    I’m currently at 2,300. Masaya naman ako sa AF so far but I think 2.3k is too much for me as a budget for gym when I could have 1.7k or 1.8k for an AF contract as I’ve researched. Is there any way I can haggle my fee to get lowered down to around that price? I was thinking of cancelling my...

    How are y’all working out in this weather

    I feel like I’m in hibernation mode. I work from home and have to go to the gym to workout, which is a few blocks away from my place.

    Re: influencers on the whey protein issue

    Napansin niyo ba nung lumabas yung issue sa actual amount of protein. Yung mga influencers nung natamaan na brand, lumabas yung pagiging ugaling basura. Sa ngayon, hindi niyo na makikta yung mga bardagulan posts nila cos they deleted it. They started mocking the professor who initiated the test...
