How do you keep your shorts from riding up? I’ve only just run in shorts for the first time in my life (at age 28), and I absolutely love it. I feel so free, I don’t care who sees my legs, and it’s nice to not be so covered. I’ve got body-glide for the chafing, so my only current problem is my...

Hi all! If anyone knows how to work discord I'm open to a chat there as well! There were a lot of us with similar stats so I thought a separate post for questions/support would be helpful. Not to say others can't comment as well, but we are all so similar in current goals. For reminder, I'm...

Hi everyone, I found it really interesting to see the posts people have made in this sub with results from their DEXA scans, so I thought I'd post mine. Image gallery, including pics of me & screenshots of the scan. My Stats: * Height: 5’1” / 155cm Weight: 123-125lbs / 56-56.5kg. Age: 26...

For reference: I am 14 y/o girl, parents are 45, dad is probably around 230 lbs if I were to guess, not sure if that’s helpful. I love my dad. My whole family does, always. But he’s always been overweight, and that’s been very difficult for him to struggle with. My mom and dad always say that...

For years I've told myself I'd lose that 10 lbs. I'm generally healthy and moderately active, but have been having trouble tracking how much I really eat... I logged my food intake on and off with MFP, but it's been challenging with 1200. At some point last year I measured 128lbs, (SO CLOSEEE)...

Was originally going to go through the process of posting this anonymously but you know what? We're all on our way. I've had a long journey, and I have further to go than I thought. I've gotten a LOT of value reading other people's Dexa results posted here so I wanted to give value back by...

I hope this is okay as a standalone post, I've never made one about my own experience - but if it's not, sorry, please take it down! Progress pictures: June '23 (top) vs Oct '22 (bottom) July '23 (left) vs Aug '22 (right) https://imgur.com/a/LhhaAmQ Current stats: 23F, 158cm/5'2...

Hello! I was doing some research about relieving some digestion issues I was having and I came across L-Glutamine. My diet is balanced and I take a probiotic (now) it's impoved a bit. While researching L-Glutamine I found out it's used in the fitness community. So, I figured why not kill two...

I hope I did this right! Starting weight was 197, size 14. 5’3 for reference. I didn’t diet at all. I made significant lifestyle changes. I ate fast food once a day at my peak weight, plus multiple sodas. I was very sedentary. I started slow. I cut out soda except for one a week, and...

Hey y'all :) A few days ago I posted a request for feedback on a new glute hypertrophy program I'm designing. For context you can read the original post here. It explains why I've created this program vs doing a ready-made glute program. I've created the first week of programming based on...

^ Title I really don’t know what it is or how to improve and actually make progress from here, but I can’t do a jack knife to save my life. My weighted bent leg jack knives are better than my straight legged ones. For the latter, my whole upper back goes rounded and always comes off the floor...

I’d love to hear your recommendations for follow-along YouTube workout videos focusing on growing the glutes and achieving round, well-developed glutes that can be done from home with limited equipment (e.g. dumbbells of various weights, resistance bands, various furniture which can be used as a...

Happy Monday, everyone! How ya feelin'? We ready for a new week of getting our abs on? Day 12: Scissors Day 13: Butterfly sit-ups Day 14: Hip Twists Day 15: Star Abs Day 16: Eagle Abs Day 17: Boat Crunches Day 18: Side Plank Rotations I don't think that I see a difference, or really even...

Back in the gym after half a year, never got deadlift form correct and would really appreciate any advice! Thank you.

I have recently started a full time job, which is my first full time job since moving to NYC and I’m having trouble balancing commuting, working, and the gym. Mostly because I feel like there’s SO MUCH I have to carry and I don’t want to haul around a billion things all day. I want to be a...

How long did it take you to do at least 1 full pull-up & what did you do to get there? I'd like to hear from anyone but especially the smaller, weaker females b/c that's me (5'3" 102lbs).

Workout is here: http://www.muscleandfitness.com/workouts/workout-routines/hiit-6-week-full-body-workout If so how did it work out for you? Anything that you wish you had known before you started?

I do a lot of weights and circuits when I work out, and I'm always looking for good music that I won't be hitting 'next' on when it comes up on my ipod. I'd say right now my top ten are Jessie J -- Domino Cee-Lo Green -- Bright Lights Bigger City Guns n' Roses -- Paradise City The Eagles --...

Hi Everyone, I've never posted a question on Reddit before so my apologies if I do anything wrong in advance. I'm currently 26 years old and would like to work on incorporating exercise back into my life and losing around 15-20 lbs to reduce fat while gaining muscle. (Don't care about scale...

WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF. That's what I'll be screaming to myself while I hobble down the stairs with my jelly legs after squatting tomorrow am. You see, I've slacked off from the gym (for ~3 months) and now I'm about to get back to it. The only consolation is that I'll somewhat miss them...
