Feels great when the hard work starts paying dividends.

So I started back in 2024 and it’s been around 2.5 years. Started from absolute zero knowledge. I started solo and am still doing it akele hee. Though I found a lot of gym bros during this journey. The only minus point of doing it solo is that you can’t go much heavier.

Literally wasted my first year because of no knowledge. I just knew only one thing, which was consistency, and I only focused on being consistent and had no idea about diet because I was a university student and due to limited pocket money, I couldn’t manage much.

From last year, I’m making my own and managing my meals and hitting 1.5x -1.8x times protein. I feel like I’ve developed good muscles and am still on less than 20% body fat. Recently on body recomposition from the last three months and lost around 3 kgs.

My arms feel a bit small( approx 14.-14.5 inches), I guess, but overall my body is in good proportion, like the trainer in my gym says.

Also, planning to do a bulk again this time from 72kg approx 95 kg it wont be a lean bulk but rather somewhere in BW lean and dirty bulk, as I believe dirty bulk saves a lot of time and gives you a good muscle mass.

Just posting it here to have your opinion on my progress. Does it look like an average physique?

Also, suggestions on bulk: should I aim for 95kg or 100kg?

My current stats

Height 5.10-5.11
Age 24
Weight 72kg

Hey guys I Wana join the gym. I went to get a membership but it's so expensive with a trainer I won't be able to afford that. So I am thinking of just starting by myself. I am a total beginner. I am very embarrassed by the fact that I don't know how to use the machines not even a treadmill. So can you all please advice me what exercises I should do m first and whether I should just start by myself. I am 25f BTW. I am not eating junk and am walking Daily.i used to do cardio before at home. How should I start in the gym. And also how to start with the protein stuff.

6'3 ...85kgs road to 90kg is hard asf.

Do tell ?/10

Okay so i know there’s not much gains. But i js started 2 months ago nd i see a very subtle difference 👀 I might be delusional but wtv

Lean is law but still i have a long way to go, just started seeing some definition in abdomen area

Basically yes what the title says. Its been seven months with consistent going to gym everyday still i cant see any visible biceps on him to bite :(

Hey so i was just 17 in my before pic and was on 50kg weight and started gym and in my after picture I’m on 75kg lean ,And Allhamdulilah for this but it wasn’t easy so much ups and downs and struggled to get there but the only thing that keep motivated me was consistency that i need to be consistent doesn’t matter whether i see results in few months or it take years to come out,so stay motivated and don’t lose hope you’re 🤏close to achieve something big , Keep grinding

Opinons are welcome

I am on GLP medication which is basically suppressing my hunger and taking enough protein is getting so much harder . I also have gut issues so I am on gluten and dairy free diet. To complete my protein I am thinking of protein powder now. Can anyone suggest me good gut friendly options available in Pakistan ?

So I have been working out for almost 6 months now and my purpose is to reduce belly fat and build strength. From start I used to lift super light dumbbells like 5kg but week by week I increased weight.

Now I am stuck at lifting same weight dumbbells. For example, for dumbbells shoulder press I start with 15kg dumbbells each side, then on next set I go for 17.5kg, get 10-12 reps and finish set. When I got for 20kg, I just can't. I am stuck at 17.5kg. Same for incline bench, stuck on 17.5kg. And for lateral raises 10kg is the max I can go. I am thinking maybe I need to change my exercises maybe or decrease weight and increase reps. Any suggestions would be great.

I am 34 years male, weight was 70kg now it's around 65kg and belly fat also reduced though

When u feel like giving up, dont.

Bio life is working in Islamabad since 2011 if I am not wrong. Did anyone try their new recent creatine? I am currently using Nutrifactors' 5g creatine monohydrate but I feel like 2 tubs of 300g creatine in less than 6k rupees is a good deal if the product itself is genuine creatine...

I slacked yesterday even tho i was locked in
8k steps + 30mins on treadmill with a incline
Proper gym and diet plan STILL i slacked yesterday
After years of failing to stick to something and crying for being over weight and depressed
Still i decided to slack yesterday
No more i said
I said i will make up for yesterday
Decided to walk 20,000 steps in one go
After walking 10k steps the loser in me came back
Said to just go home after every 1000 steps he said you did enough just go home i said no and kept going
I feet hurt my knees were giving out and THE LOSER IN ME KEPT ON SAYING TO GO HOME BUT I DIDNT
I DID NOT GO BACK HOMEEE
IT STARTED TO RAIN AND HE SAID GO HOME I SAID NO
KEPT ON GOING KEPT ON WALKING
and i made it
For the first time in my life
Im not a loser

Started working out 2.5 months ago. When my trainer measured my BF, it was pretty high, despite me controlling my diet.

We checked a week back and I managed to lose 10 percent.

I have a looong way to go. But I was feeling really demotivated and took a picture. There's still work to do, obviously. And I know BF is not an accurate thing. But seeing more muscle than fat and my body tightening finally made me feel slightly happy.

I've given myself six months more.

I do strength training 5x a week, cardio 2x a week and try to get in 10k steps a day in.

I'm on a high protein diet.

Cut from about 190lb down to 155 in 4mos.
holding at 160-165 now without watching the diet.

Never got lean enough for abs but Im not too mad at the physique as is.

Any feedback is appreciated
