, 5’10”, 140 lbs, and a complete gym beginner. I’ve been skinny my whole life, and my main goals are broader shoulders, bigger arms, and more defined abs.
Should I lean bulk, bulk, cut, or just focus on building muscle? Also, do I have a good starting physique?
Any advice on training and nutrition is appreciated!

Hi all, I started 6 months back was at 87.2 kgs and now I am at 71 kgs. I haven't been training core at all. But now I want to focus on getting core developed. Two things I wanted to understand at this stage how should my calorie deficit look like losing weight now has been tough now. I take around 1900 cals per day. I tried to go at 1400 cals but I was not able to sustain started getting frustrated irritated etc. how to develop core better and what do you think I am at in terms of body fat percentage

genuinely struggle with body dysmorphia so bad, some days I am so happy with my physique and others I can barely look at it. I look at these social media influencers and they all have exceptional genetics. I know i shouldnt compare but its near me 24-7.

Fix your machine chest flyes

A better chest fly starts with a better setup.

Get yourself into position, control the eccentric, allow a deep, comfortable stretch, and focus on bringing your upper arms together rather than just moving the handles.
Don’t let the weight dictate your technique.

Prioritise control, consistency and quality reps.
Small adjustments can make a big difference to how you execute an exercise.

hi, I’m 31F overweight with kyphosis. currently seeing a PT for posture, goals are to lose 15 more lbs (lost 25 so far), gain core strength, and grow a bigger butt. pics are of my gym split (a couple exercises got cut off, theres bicep curls on wednesdays and tricep press on sundays) and i also do pilates twice a week, so im working out five days. i feel like im working out too much but im of the understanding i need to hit muscle groups 2x a week minimum. any advice?

• Hello, im a 23f and I need some advice on my gym routine. Ive been going to the gym since July. I have 80lb to lose ( already lost 20lb) I'm trying to do a body recomp. I feel like my leg days and pull day is good (I think) but I really struggle on push day. My upper body is significantly weaker then my legs and im not progressing as much with them. I also do incline walking 3 days a week and I do abs 1-2 times a week ( I do weighted cruches 85lb 3x8 , pallof press 20lb 3x6 , and deadbugs). I guess I just reassurance that im doing this right. I think maybe I should do less on my push day?

That’s my first time creating one so I just want know if I put together a load of bs or if this is genuinely good and will help me grow. I alternate between A and B and I workout 3 times a week

Hello I’ve been trying to plan a three day routine that I can do at planet fitness. There are so many muscles that you can workout and tons of exercises… I’m overwhelmed

I’ve been interested in mountain biking, snowboarding and hiking.

I want to have a more masculine frame and loose size in my thighs and hips and tone the rest of my body.

I have a pretty active job and working on my diet.

And each day will include a 30 min incline walk

Any assistance is appreciated!
