Hello all noble natties, I am currently on reading week and will not be able to get in the gym for about a week, which I'm okay with since my body is beat up anyways from training hard 7 days a week for 5 weeks straight, and running an UL split before that. I am currently 187lb and between...

I post this here because I feel I might receive better responses on balancing these two sports: sorry for the long post! Over the last year, I've been drawn more and more towards running; I don't just want to add running as a form of cardio, I want to improve on it (let's say, 10km @ 43m). That...

(20M)Advice on workout plans? And feedback on the program I tried following? Ive been lifting for about 4 months, however I’ve stopped going to the gym for the last half of November and until today, since I plan going to the gym later this evening. However, I felt as though I need a regime in...

Usually, I visit gym 3 times a week and repeat the same upper body program (I do not do legs for several personal reasons). I noticed that when I go to gym 2 times a week I can do a bit more reps (or more weight) that when I go 3 times. On the one hand, this "a bit" does not compensate...

I made a post last week about my physique plateau and a lot of people suggested I build my own program, so I built myself a modified PPL program. It's my first time building a program so I wanted to get some feedback. Program Details arm is a focus and trained every other day (2 direct arm...

I’m just so dumbfounded and pissed off still I didn’t know where to post this. As the title says- I was banned from my gym for bringing in a guest after hours. It’s a 24/7 gym and we showed up around 10pm and left at 11:30. I’ve been going to this place for 2 years and this is the first time...

Yo whatsup r/bodybuilding, Here is what I look like now: I'm 5'8 - 147 LB - 22Years old Posting here because i'm getting really frustrated with the way my body is developing. I'm clearly doing something wrong because my chest looks flatter than a cat ran over by a semi. I've been "working...

L Former fat dude here, been into running to lose most of my weight, went from 270-170 as of this morning, def have a skinny fat frame with a little man boobs and a belly still, been in the gym consistently for the past 3 weeks with a locked in diet, was looking for advice on weather I should be...

Hey y’all Back again with another mesocycle update Some changes: This is mesocycle 3, 6 weeks long (as opposed to 4 for the first, 5 for the second) I made this one a little more “powerlifting” with my rep range test week and kept my bench to 225x10, safety bar squat to 335x8, and sumo...

Hello, Recently I've been thinking of how is it possible there is so much training programs, very well evaluated by users, which are full of junk volume, too many exercises, too many sets per workout and overall volume? F.e. Kong routine, PHAT routine, Bullmastiff and many more. There is like 4...

I have loose skin from a significant weight loss many years ago. The weight is gone, but the skin is still there. Here are some pictures, with a pump. https://ibb.co/q04ZLM3https://ibb.co/17F5RjBhttps://ibb.co/PQGhLWjhttps://ibb.co/R77wWgChttps://ibb.co/d6yc1Hd I'm currently cutting (started...

Hey this is gonna sound kinda elementary but I’m kinda confused: How do I cut without losing muscle? Just wanted to know what’s working / worked for y’all in the past. Further, what’s the most effective way to cut in the shortest amount of time? I’ve heard a lot about intermittent fasting…

Hey all I've been training 2 x per week split for some time now, made some reasonable gains and ready to move on to training 3 x per week. I was looking at moving to a PPL routine, although having done some research, it appears that this routine is generally recommended for 6x per week...

There are tons of great intermediate programs out there. It's overwhelming when selecting one to stick with for awhile. Would each program or routine yield different results or would the results largely be similar? This is assuming one is looking to train 4-5x per week. Intermediate programs...

I have recently come back to doing dumbbell flyes after not having them in my program for like a year and damn, they are MASSACRING my chest. I used to rate it as a C-tier movement, now it makes me sore and pumped like nothing else. What are some lifts you used to dislike, or just not get much...

So I just watched a video from Meno Hanseman where he explains how CNS fatigue/systemic fatigue doesn’t really exist in weight training, it’s more for endurance athletes. So now I’m thinking is it the same for local muscle MRV? Is there a maximum amount of volume you can do for a muscle before...

Very insightful interviews all scattered over Spotify. The best I think are with Peter Attia, he just recorded his third or fourth one with him recently! He’s a scientist at heart, so that means you get research backed content without any sugar coating. He’s one of the few fitness...

I'm 36 and been lifting for 15 years. Currently 203lbs 6'6 and mid way through a cut. I can't do BB squats or regular deadlifts anymore as my lower back flares up. 4 days a week suits my schedule best so been running this Upper / Lower split. LOWER (A) Hack Squat - 3 x 8-12 reps Leg...

Going to a gym with many machines and most of them good ones, I think I started doing too many exercises. Pros: if one machine is occupied, I can easily go to another one. you hit the muscle from different angles (especially on back) the same exercises bocomes not that good after a while...
