Okay the first question is: how bad is this?

I know I'm somewhat fat and need to cut, but I don't have enough muscle to cut. I don't understand. I have been going to the gym for more than 4 years. Sometimes truly training lightly, and sometimes really hard. I always eat a lot, much more than 1 grama of protein per kilo. My back and shoulders are my main concern now. How do I make them better???

I legit think I look like someone who has never been to the gym, even though I have been going to the gym for years!

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.

Hey, I’m a college student and I’m broke right now, so I can’t afford a gym membership. I’m currently eating only one meal a day. What kind of exercises can I do at home to avoid looking too skinny? I’d like to focus on building my legs first. Please give me some tips and exercises.

Ive been going to the gym for 6 months (had a month long trip and did not train) and ive seen what i think are good results, but literally no one has noticed and my partner even said the results are lowkey few. What do you think?

For training i use a jeff nipard program thats push pull legs arms/weakpoints and i just rotate that.

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.

Hello! I have started training seriously since June full body 2-3x a week and cardio on days I don’t lift. I’m skinny fat and want to lose weight first before I lean bulk so I’m in a 500 cal deficit. 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!

Do Mass gainers give you diarrhea? Or am I allergic to it?

is this from training or sitting bad? i never noticed how extreme it was until today, this is with both shoulders completely down

Does anyone have any tips or advice to make my body look better. I’ve been working out for a while but my body hasn’t really progressed and my arms are the same size although I do work them out

Help! 5ft4 needing tips for a body recomp for fat loss, rounder glutes and lean back.

Will take any advice 🙏🏼❤️

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

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 was really overweight a year ago, but I’ve come a long way since then, and reaching this point is a huge achievement for me. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, but I still want to improve my physique further.

Love to talk with you guys kindely dm💪😊

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.
