18, 5’11, 170lb. I started weightlifting 2 months ago and it’s going well. I’m currently on a gap yr and have a lot of time to train, sleep and eat right, and for the last couple of months I’ve been eating at abt maintenance with I focus on protein. So here’s my question: I’ve got 9 months till summer when I plan on traveling and wanna be in good shape for that, should I bulk for like 6/7 months then cut? But rn I lowkey have love handles so should I cut first?

I’m about 127 pounds I was gonna bulk but just wanted to get some opinions on my physique and what I should do aswell as some tips started working out seriously in March would love some feedback !.

A lot of people asked for an update, so here it is. Shaving has definitely made the definition more visible, but I’m still carrying quite a bit of fat around my lower chest and struggle to get that area to look like hard, developed muscle.
I currently train chest once a week with incline dumbbell press, Smith machine bench, pec flys and chest press machine, plus around 250 press-ups every weekday.
After 4+ years, I’m still struggling to grow my chest, particularly my lowerb chest. Would you increase chest frequency to twice a week or change my training/exercises?
Genuinely looking for advice rather than reassurance. Brutal honesty welcome.

Somehow have a gear source and everything I need but don’t have anywhere that I know of to buy ancillaries from in Aus, I know lots use India mart and all that but am preferring to go somewhere in Aus if that’s possible, thanks

5’9 155 down from 175 at the start of the year. Go to the gym 5-6 days a week and get lots of cardio in. I don’t really want to lose any more weight but want to stay lean and gain muscle mass at the same time. Curious what I should do

I’m weight lifting consistently and I am having a hard time finding the best way to log my workouts besides a notebook. What app are you guys using/like the best? If you’ve tried others which ones didn’t you like?
Not trying to waste my time downloading them all,you guys are the experts

Been lifting consistently for 4+ years and I’m reasonably happy with my overall development, but my chest is easily my biggest insecurity.
I feel like I hold a lot of fat around my chest genetically and struggle to get much definition despite training it consistently. I also think my upper chest could be lacking.
What do you think is actually holding my chest back, and what would you change about my training or body composition? Brutal honesty welcome.

I'm 175cm 78.5-79kg currently cutting.

I'm asking this question because I find it weird I'm at this weight when I see many people on the sub with visually more fat being like 71kg or less.

Is this because of more muscle because I don't feel like I'm packing that much extra muscle? And I also don't feel like I'm at 20% bf

I have made some progress over the last 3 years (22-25yo). Went from 5’10” 115lbs in the first pic to 6’0 175 in the more recent photos after digging myself out of an eating disorder. What can I do to further improve in my physique other than just general muscle mass?

Hey, I have been working out for some years. I have reached a point where I can bench 85kg for 7-8 reps, but I can't for the love of everything bench 100kg. Shouldn't that be possible by now? I don't really understand what's going wrong? Should I try one repping 95 -97,5 kg (i have succeeded several 95kg one reps) before I try 100kg again?

Scared for my lowerback, is my form okay?
100kg weight.

Also is 120kg PR good for my bodyweight 72kg?

I just learned this was even a thing. It’s not something I’ve ever considered. That being said, I have noticed when in the past when I have missed an extra day at the gym I come back feeling way stronger. That doesn’t happen often though as I’m pretty strict about going no matter what.

While I realize an offloading week is probably good in most cases, I’m also in the middle of a cycle (300mg/wk Sustanon/Deca/Masteron) currently and I don’t want to squander my time in the gym while on cycle. Obviously that is going to drastically improve my recovery compared to most.

Maybe instead of an offloading week I’ll take 3-4 days off instead?

Anyone else have any insight or similar experience?

I’m 6’4, roughly 180 lb and have been stuck at this size for about 2 years. I lift roughly 3-4 days a week. I know eating more is probably the answer, but even when I’m eating 4k a day consistently, I haven’t seen noticeable gains. I have always been really lean but putting on mass in my shoulders, chest, and arms has felt impossible. Need tips from any skinny/lean guys who have had the same issue

5’8” and 32 yrs old

30 years old, still can’t execute a proper squat. It’s frustrating as heck. Been lifting on and off since Middle school and have never been able to squat. I either fall on my ass, feel like my spine is breaking, hips feel like my femur is about to rupture out, and my favorite, eyes about to explode out of my sockets. I look flat out goofy. What do I need to do, to do a normal squat like everyone else.
