Hi all, I’m 23(f) new to working out and i just signed up for cross-fit classes in the gym. Today was my third class and while we were doing bench press with 2.5 kilograms of weight, we would do 7 reps and take a 2 minute break, my arm in the third round gave up on the 4th rep. Is this normal...
So I‘ve had plenty of free time during the summer holidays, but I‘m starting to think about how I could plan my gym routine once school starts. I‘ve been going to the gym for a little over 2 months now and my split consists of just basically upper and lower body. Every time I‘m at the gym it...
I have access to basic hotel gyms 4 days a week in a row, and then dumbbells/pull-up bars the rest. I've been doing PPL to make the most of it with pull day first, push, legs, then pull again. I do the second set of push and legs using only dumbbells with rest day on Friday. Can I get some...
I've seen a lot of questions asking about Push Pull Legs splits, so I figured I would type out an EXAMPLE. As stated, this is an EXAMPLE and does not need to be implemented verbatim to be effective. The example as written would likely be too much for a new lifter. But I just wanted to show...
Hello. I really love running but no matter what I do I always get side stitches and it hurts so bad making me stop my running which is sad because all I wanna do is run and be good at running. I did these to prevent the side stitches and yet I still get it.:

Is protein from turkey breast meat better compared protein whey powder?
In my county a 2.3kg whey protein cost about 80USD about 8$ per 100g which contains roughly 90g of proteins, about 0.089$ per gram of protein.
When a 1kg of turkey breast meat cost about 6$ which makes it 0.6$ per 100g that...
So the gym I’ve signed up for offers 3 PT classes for free. I’ve been going to the gym periodically over the past 5 years (gone from 57kg to 75kg). So I have experience but I’m also quite casual with it and would have months off at a time. My usual split would be U/L or PPL.
Of course I took...
Im 4’9 and i weigh 190 pounds. Ive also had a baby via c-section. How can i lose 70 lbs? What workouts should i do that will help me reach my goal weight?
Hello:)
Some time ago I managed to gather people all over the world to do insanity workout together. I thought it would be a great idea to do it again, since working out in a group helps a lot with motivation.
Plan is to do workout whenever you have time during the day, and then track our...
Does anyone else find fitness influencers kinda exhausting? Barring a few, a lot of them are surprisingly confrontational and often throw shots at other influencers. It’s annoying trying to figure out a good workout regime whilst sifting through all the arguing. A tells you not to listen to B, B...
Hello,
Im relatively new to weight lifting. 4 months in, and have been using a lazy variation of PPL: P,P,L,P,P,R,R where (R=Rest). The results have been great but the more i look into optimizing the time I spend, I find myself questioning what I know and what is best. My hope for this post is...
19 (m), looking for some help in making some kind of workout routine as I am slightly embarrassed to admit, am completely clueless.
I weigh just over 55kg, and have an obvious quite fast metabolism. I would say muslce mass wise I am lacking entirely, my tricep and bicep areas, arms, legs and...
Context: Througout this whole year I’ve been getting 5-7 hours sleep when I really need 9-10 at my age (17). I workout to failure all the time and used to do it 5 days a week with a routine that worked pretty much the same muscles all the time (back bis tris) and then every second day I’d go for...
I recently got into trying different sports the past months. As of now, I enjoy climbing & jiu jitsu and I go the climb gym 1-2x a week & bjj class 1x a week since June 2023. I don’t do any other strength training or if I do go to the gym, it’s very rare.
I love doing sports but I feel like...
So I haven't been able to linear progress for the past 1-2 months. As the title suggests, I am trying to add some more methodical programming to my lifting and gain some strength, preferably a 3-4 week cycle (not a full routine, just a progressive overload method for my SBD). As it is now, im...
Long story short, I am 29 years old. I have been involved in sports all my life, from a young age until I was 21-22, when I dropped out after five years of American football and became a couch potato. Seriously, I didn’t even walk until I turned 27. At that point, I had a serious talk with...
