Hi everyone! I’m 23F and 5’1, 110 lbs. I need some help managing protein intake with a very low budget. The amount of protein I need to build muscle mass is 0.8 x my body weight in pounds, so around 90 grams. Currently I can afford enough protein to have 90 g for every day of the month that I...

Hi everyone! Background- I’ve been a member for a while, mostly lurking in the background. I lost 45 lbs w weight watchers, hit goal, and then slowly gained back 12 lbs in about.. 9 months by doing whatever I wanted lol. I’ve been back on track for about a month, and I’m having a hard time, so I...

hi all! i'm struggling to see significant gains in my thighs/quads. i keep finding posts and comments about wanting to "grow glutes without growing legs" and how to not be quad-dominant, but i am the opposite currently. here is my complete weekly routine -- GZCLP (hello r/gzcl )with a lil twist...

Hi y'all! I've just started lifting, with a full body weights program that targets all of the major muscle areas, but I was really curious about the chest. I know men have something obvious that they're working for when they work their chests, trying to get really defined pecs. But as a woman...

I’m 5’4, 23y, and 170lbs and been going to the gym every week and seeing a trainer since the start of February as a commitment my New Year goals. However, despite my efforts I ended up gaining a couple pounds that first month before returning back to the weight I started at and hitting just an...

CW: 235 - at least -20lbs so far Height: 4’10 In the last 5 weeks I have entirely changed my eating habits. It is mostly roast vegetables. No rice/bread or meat/fish/protein in general. I have recently started adding lentils and beans, but it doesn’t seem like protein is very important at my...

I am currently training with 7,5kg dumbbells i wanna go up in weight and i like the aspect of dumbbells bc i can improve coordination, stability and increase posture awareness. The problem is the weights r not 100% ideal for some areas they r a bit so heavy for others ideal and for others...

For context, I’m 5’1” and started at 175 lbs, currently at 134 lbs. I’ve been stuck in the 130s for the past 6 months, but I’m assuming it’s mostly muscle since I think I’m still losing weight (i.e., pants I bought a month and a half ago are already way too big.) To lose weight I have been...

I’m 5’3”, just got down 7 pounds thanks to very recently (three weeks ago) getting on birth control and metformin (PCOS… even after working out consistently w good eating habits since January). I understand that you cannot target weight loss, but for some reason, my arms are always so bulky...

I been trying to lose weight forever I just joined Weight watchers. I never tend to stick to a diet and I hate working out but recently I saw a really unflattering video of me on my ring door bell LOL and I couldn’t believe that was me. I’m determined to get this weight off. My major issue is...

Hi. I started using fitness blender's free youtube videos for my muscle building workouts and I wanted to see what people's favorites were. I typically workout 5x a week (6 if you include yoga) and I do one upper body lifting day, one lower body focus, one full body or core, and two days...

My eating habits are horrible. I am 5'0 between 145-150. I don't know what it is about sweet and salty stuff but when I see it I gotta have it. 6 donuts in one sitting? No problem. 4 bags of chips in one go? Piece of cake! I am cycling and doing pilates about 3-5 times a week but obviously I...

Hiii! I’m a 20yo 156 cm girl (5’1) and 44 kg (97 lbs). I’ve been trying to gain some weight (and muscle) so I started to lift weights (fbw 3x per week for about an hour or hour and a half), sometimes I also do Pilates, stretching and some dancing (during rest days, so around 4 times a week for...

Do you think I would see much change even though I’m currently at normal weight?

I’ve been doing CG workouts for about 2 months now and have seen some great progress already (clothes fit better, face looks slimmer) however I’m still struggling to lose the last 10lbs (for reference I’m 4’10 and 120lbs, goal is 110). I already eat in a calorie deficit, have upped my protein...

I work 8-5, then M/T/W/F/S I go to the gym for 1-1.5 hours around 6pm. By the time I’m out, home, protein, and showered I miss a lot of my friends activities like going out to eat or trivia night. I can’t be the only one. How do y’all mentally deal with FOMO in favor of your routines?

For the past 2 months I’ve been trying to follow a diet of hitting 1230 cals a day with specific macros (30%p 30%f 40%c). I also workout 4 times a week (peloton plus usually lifting some weights after) and get around 5,000 steps a day, I work remote so I take time to walk outside. I’m usually...

So basically I started exercising and working out about a month and a half ago with the goal of growing my legs and glutes plus cardio but have recently had some knee soreness.

Opinions / advice on my routine Hi shorties, I've been working out at home for a couple of months now and I am definitely progressing in terms of added reps & weights, but I'm not sure if my workout split is optimal. I have adjustable dumbells, an ez bar, a (very makeshift) bench and...
