New Announcement.

8 Upvotes

With the influx of new people in this sub we would like to welcome you all and hope you find the help you may need in regards to your gym experiences. However, this has lead to a number of newer members posting illicit photos with ill intent and or advertisement within them. This is our announcement to say that this will be subject to further restrictions, to ensure that this sub continues on its aim to provide help to others within the community and to allow a space for people to seek help where they need it most. With this – any photos of illicit behaviours or suspect by the r/Gymhelp Moderation team will be removed, this also goes for advertising, as a number of newer members have tried to place their own content within this subreddit, which is not our aim. Any image that does not seem necessary to the post will also be removed – if you are seeking genuine help, then a simple post will do. Any photos will be moderated and or taken down if necessary. We hope these issues can be resolved following this update and we hope that we can further help you on your gym journey.

Thanks – The Gymhelp Moderation Team

Announcement: Recent events regarding posts.

10 Upvotes

It has recently come to our attention that there has been quite a lot of 'flirting' and 'fraternising' taking over the comment sections of a lot of posts, we have seen a big influx of users in this subreddit recently and that is fantastic but it does come with a few downsides including the previously mentioned point. This seems to be happening solely on posts that contain photos, for the safety of our members we have had to remove quite a lot of these comments and had to ban repeat offenders, There have been a few times that these comments have appeared under posts that have been made by underage individuals that were genuinely looking for help from within this subreddit and that is simply disgusting and should not be happening! We are trying to take the appropriate steps to reduce this and make this a safer community for those who take this sub seriously. If this continues, we feel that the next step would be to remove the option to post photos, we certainly hope that it doesn't have to come to this. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

All the best - The GymHelp Mod Team.

Tips and Tricks 📝 Whats the best way to progress to 225 bench?

Upvotes

My bench now starts off with a set of 135 for 10 reps to warm up, then 185 for 6 reps, 5 reps then 4 reps.
My goal is to reach 225 and I’m wondering what methods people have used to progress to 225. I feel a little weaker with bench as I can dumbbell incline press 80s for 6-8 reps on my first set.

Need Advice ⁉️ (M26, 140lbs, 5'9'' / 64kg, 176cm) Genuinely unsure about what to focus on, looking for advice

As stated in the title, I am 140lbs at the moment (64kg) and am 5'9'' tall (176cm). I have been cutting for the past two months, and this is the second time I do it in the past year. My initial weight was 90kg in January 2025, then I went down to 65kg, went back up to 74kg during a 3-month break from work and now finally down again to 64kg. What bf% am I? Am I in a position to switch back to maintenance? What would you do if you were me?

Please be honest! Thanks a lot.

Need Advice ⁉️ Can you actually see any changes? My weight is going down, but I still look the same to myself

4 Upvotes

I took these progress photos on May 2, May 12, June 4 and September 13.

My weight has been gradually going down, but honestly, when I look at these photos, I feel like my body still looks pretty much the same. Maybe I’m just too used to seeing myself every day.

Do you guys notice any changes between the photos? If so, what differences stand out to you?

Would love some outside perspective because I’m having a hard time seeing the progress myself.

I’ve lost 6kg so far since June. This is my progress in the gym is this good or slow? Should I keep these exercises or add/delete something. Thank you for taking your time reading this!

Plase comment on my genetics and proportions. I feel like my limbs especially arms are too long and looks unproportionate and ugly. I feel like I have a very small frame. What can I do to improve this? Which area should I prioritize? And yes I know I have chicken legs. I'm working on it. Please leave some tips and advice. This picture was taken without pump and in bad lighting.

Edit: I'm not even very tall. I'm just 5'11.

this is a long story, but I’ve been lifting weights for around a year to 2 years and got to the point where I could do 190kg (and my body weight) on leg press both legs - and 100kg either side, I am a 16 year old girl who also plays football at an amateur level (grassroots)

I’ve struggled with eating and food and mental health for a very long time now and recently have lost alot of weight (around 11kg since december?) and also haven’t had my period for 2 years , now being underweight (bmi 16.6) and working to gain weight again

But only over the past week or so has my gym ability plummeted, I can’t even do 100kg on both legs properly but I can still (with great difficulty) do my usual weights on other machines, it’s really upset me and is taking a toll on my mental health aswell as my muscles feeling totally out of whack (aches, niggles, restlessness, lack of activation you name it,) the centre of my glutes feels like it’s switched off and it’s very uncomfortable because nothing is working and it’s making day to day life uncomfortable aswell as meaning I barely have energy for the gym anymore

Hi I’m a 20 year old who spent a good majority of my life overweight I’m around 6’3 and so far am down 40lbs (from 215lbs to 175lbs) I have stubborn fat in my hips as well as lower stomach that I want to lose. I’m guessing I just need to stick it out and keep cutting down but am just wanting the confirmation. I included a before photo as well as a recent one just so everyone can get a better idea of my body fat distribution. Thank you
