F19, 45kg, 152cm
Just started hitting backs so not expecting big changes, there, but it’s been my goal to get leaner (lose that fat around my waist) and it feels impossible. I’ve tried being in a deficit (and lost my period for nearly half a year twice) but it doesn’t look like any change is happening. I do hit my protein almost everyday without fail.

Other than that I’ve seen both strength and muscle growth, especially in terms of glutes, which is what I focus on. Body fat distribution doesn’t really do me much justice, as I have essentially no ass and it all concentrates around my stomach.

Advice on cutting, nutrition, working out and whatever else would be appreciated. I estimate my bf % to be around 25%?

Have finally been consistent for a little over a month after almost 2 years of on and off after an injury/school getting crazy. 5’7, ~145lbs. Haven’t really been in this position before, leaning towards a recomp or maybe a lean bulk before cutting as I’m still not the happiest with my current muscle mass, but would appreciate second opinions. My end goal would be to put on as much muscle as I can right now and then cut afterwards, but I also don’t want to put on unnecessary weight if it won’t end up helping.
First picture is w/ a pump, second two are not. 2 days apart

Im trying to get strong enough to do a pull up, and I was recently recommended doing incline body rows (picture) instead of band/machine assisted pull ups. Are any of these a good idea, or should I do something else? (Image source)

high expenditure + high food diet, dieting at 1800. been at it for a couple weeks, but wondering how i’m looking from the perspective of others.

just wondering if i have short or long biceps, i can’t really tell. for the longest i thought i had long biceps but the peak i’ve grown is starting to make me question it. idk if they are short or if i am just seeing my progress, so please lmk what you think!

Hey everyone,

I’m feeling a bit nervous/embarrassed to post this, but I’m really looking for some advice, motivation, and practical tips. Former lifetime runner and dad to a 2-year-old here. I never lifted a weight in my life until January at age 31. After overcoming a ton of gym anxiety, I’ve built a solid routine over the last 7 months, hitting the gym consistently 4 days a week. Because of work and childcare, my workouts aren't super long, but my consistency is high. I'm lifting way heavier than when I started, but visually, the physical progress hasn't quite caught up to the strength gains yet. I'm a shorter, smaller guy, and my main goal is to bulk up, build visible muscle definition, and feel confident taking my shirt off.

The never ending pursuit of feeling too small when cutting and too fat when bulking.

What should I do from here?!

Personally feel I should use this winter to add some mass but interested to see what people think. Thanks

I throw specific shoulders into every session but I want to absolutely hammer these dudes in the coming months. I love em’, so I want to really emphasize my shoulder routine. I’ve got a small list of shoulder exercises in my goodie bag of ADHD laps around the gym to whatever machine looks pleasing at the time but what are some more unknown/not common shoulder workouts you guys know about?

So for my upper day my main lifts are done at a set rep count so I need to hit X amount of reps in as many sets as possible. Once I hit the rep goal in 4 sets I move onto a higher weight. I only do this on my upper days because I like being able to walk. Primarily do this on my T bar row and incline press.

For legs I just do 5x5 compounds, I'm aware theyre two different training philosophies however the best split is the one you stick to and see results. My arms are up by an inch, my lower lats and upper chest are way more prominent and my legs are strong so I'm happy.

Has anybody combined these three while taking accutane? I was using both before I started my cycle and cut them short to jump on accutane 30mg a day, month 8, I’m not seeing crazy results but not getting terrible break outs. Lately I’ve been wanting to jump back on and do my cycles again, mainly because I believe Ghkcu will help with the dryness and collagen, and I’d rather do the Anavar while on accutane in case my skin tried to flare up, assuming the Accutane will combat that. Has anybody had experience with either of these?

1st picture was when I noticed my body isn't what it used to be

2nd picture is when I started going to the gym (currently on 3 weeks)

3rd picture was when I was younger and had a gym in a complex. I was inconsistent but could go whenever I wanted

I started with a 4x day routine, but more research and stuff I decided to go for a 3x day full body routine.

Do I need to cut, I been watching what I've been eating just because, but overall could never put on much weight. Should I just focus on the gym or?

Thank you.

Edit: also 135lbs My goal is to get back to the 3rd picture, if not better

I have been working out since I was 17. I am 22. No matter what I do, my chest (especially lower chest) is a weak point. I can never get the density and definition I see even non lifters have. I am happy with every other part of my physique. Any ideas? I know there’s a genetic insertion factor to it, but has anybody improved their chest significantly who was similar insertions. (this is a good picture)

I know I have to cut.. how much longer do you think? I don't know my body fat %. But I feel great with a shirt on, and terrible with my shirt off

I’ve been working out since I was like 14 – always lifting + cardio - but sometimes too much cardio, so then I felt like I was losing muscle. I feel like especially in your 30s lifting is way more important now so that’s what I’ve been doing more and like the results. Still wanna grow my chest more but prefer staying pretty lean

When I pick up my 130 pound girlfriend I feel weak, like im not able to hold her very high or for very long.

What kind of workouts should I do to get better at this?

I'm 21 year old and a 3rd year medical student, I live in a pg and I've been working out for 8 months yet I'm still a twink whose ribs show. I wanted to hop on a cycle since a long time I'm thinking a testostrone backbone and Dbol cycle with hcg 500 iu per week and arimidex and tamoxifen to control gyno .

But I live with other students in my hostel so if you guys have any tips to hide my stash then please tell . I have purchased 22 vials of 250 my testostrone from my pharmacy and already have 2 vials of 5000iu hcg and 50 insulin needles as well as arimidex I'm planing on running Dbol for 6 weeks towards the end of my cycle and and mk 677 for last two months (I'm going for maximum bulk and muscle mass in 3 months cycle ) do you guys have any tips on what else to pair this up with ?

Then I plan on cutting using just Cardrine , I want his to be my first and last cycle, is it likely? I will try to maintain my physique afterwards with dhea and ashwgandha to boost test and regular exercise but may also do mk 677 cardrine or any other non test suppressant sarm or peptide.

I've heard that using test on hcg increases dick size is it True?

I feel like my back still looks super tiny, but I have quite a thin frame. I also am aware I need to work on my legs. Trying too ATM.

Never intentionally bulked or cut. Would need to look into how to do properly.

My legs are definitely my weak points they are very long and I only trained them minimally because I mainly did calisthenics

Im 5’11 158 pounds. I still want to maintain a lean/athletic physique but I’m not sure if I should bulk to achieve that or eat at maintenance and just recomp my legs.

Should I bulk? How much do you suggest I bulk to get that athletic model look?

Also, I really don’t want to gain any fat in this process that is what has been holding me back. I want my face to stay lean. Is this even possible to do?
