Working out has been the best thing for me! I feel more relaxed and happy. I encourage anyone to do it.

I just feel more calm and less stressed about life, I also feel a bit more intelligent in school.

WHEW these Split jumps in the HIIT workout really KILL me

[Rainsford]

The HIIT workout worked better than I thought, I lost 3 lbs (1.4 kg) in 1 week

Post your goals, stats, personal records, routines, weight lifting schedule, eating schedule, supplements you take, etc

Ask for advice or answer someone's question


I know ATRL is about 3/4 twinks but let's change that, TOGETHER. You have the power to better yourself.

BB.com is not homophobic. They even have a forum specifically for the gays. I have straight men admiring my gay ass on BB.com all day long.

I do a combo of HIT style mixed in with an upper body/lower body circuit workout... However, you all should keep in mind the diet folks the diet.

Tbh what are some good exercises for your lower abs/upper abs and also your love handles/obliques? Crunches and bicycles are the only thing I know and I'm tryna do some more exercises.

I love sideplanks(in various variations) and dumbbell sidebend for obliques.
Planks,hanging knee raises,bicycles and sissors are usually what I do for abs

I'm happy this thread is bumped. I'm going to GNC to buy protein whey today or tomorrow. I also need to buy a blender for college. I start my journey to a defined body, Sept 8.

Tomorrow will be my first day at the gym. I'm scared. I don't want to look like a skinny flop who has no idea what he's doing. I'm also going in the morning in order to avoid the jocks.

I generally do the same Well it's not so much that I have a problem being around more muscular dudes (), but because when I wait till the afternoon it becomes a total sausagefest and I often have to interrupt my workout waiting for someone to finish on a machine/with weights that I need, and it just triggers my anxiety of being in a crowded space as well.

But I can get self-conscious if I'm struggling with a weight that someone nearby would lift easily It's just important to remember that everyone starts somewhere

Basically. That's why I'm not as self-conscious when I'm there. Clearly I'm a beginner and it would be foolish to start off with 45 pound weights or something. I'm using my 15 pounds and I'm proud of it.

Also I've been sore for days, but I guess that's normal? It's dying down now, but it was terrible earlier this week.

Yeah, for the most part no one is really concerned with what anyone else is doing at the gym anyway For bicep curls I started off doing 20s, am handling 25s easily and will hopefully be doing 30 in the next few weeks. I think my brother curls like, 60-70+

If soreness gets to be a problem to the point where it interferes with your workout schedule, I recommend taking glutamine tablets. I don't know know if you can find them at the average drugstore like rite aid/cvs (maybe?), but you should definitely be able to get them at like, GNC, or ordering online. Also, taking Fish Oil pills (which you can get literally anywhere) regularly has helped too. I used to get soreness that would go on for like, 3-4 days and would keep me from weight training 3 times a week like I'm supposed to now, until I started taking that.

I have been sick for the last few days and busy with exams so I missed out on Chest & Triceps day and Leg day. I was so bummed

Can't wait to get back into it.

I used to think people judge but in reality people are selfish and really only care about themselves so I'm sleep, as long as you aren't like completely making a fool of yourself that is. Just logic!

Literally haven't had a rest day from gym in like 3 weeks. Constantly there for up to 2 hours every day. Probably not too good an idea but whatever.

[Gazing Ball]

I'm so glad I don't care about what people think of me at the gym any more. I do dread the thought of someone having observed my minimal progress over the past few years. I'm obviously doing things wrong.

Yasss I got over it. I used to need to take someone with me to work out with but now I fly solo a lot of the time. Lol I like my improvements.
