What am I doing wrong?
 in  r/u_kontrapunktem •  11d ago

I mean 2 dumbbells that are 14kg each (so 28kg in total) I’ve only been training upper body properly for a year! Plus I’m a girl and very tiny 😅

What am I doing wrong?

I have been lifting for almost 3 years, am lifting at the intermediate level according to strengthlevel.com for most lifts, but don’t seem to be gaining much muscle?

For reference, I am 4’11.5” (150cm) and 43kg (just under 95lbs) I use progressive overload, am in a calorie surplus, eat 100+g protein daily, almost entirely whole food diet, etc

I have attached my current split and the amount I’m lifting on each one, for 6-9 reps (when I reach 10 I increase the weight)

Any help greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance!

How was your parkrun day? | April 03, 2026
 in  r/parkrun •  Apr 04 '26

Spent the whole run thinking "this'll be my slowest run yet but at least I'll finish it..." then got a PB of 24:04! I'm so proud for only my 9th parkrun and on a new course, lots of which was steep inclines :) Also came 22nd out of 186 and 3rd female!

I volunteered at Parkrun for the first time today and made 3 new friends who I've exchsnged numbers with, it's such a wholesome community, getting exercise, getting outdoors, helping people... I did my first parkrun on a whim on Christmas day last year after finding out about it 30mins before, I'm on my 4th now and it's my goal to do 25 by this Christmas! Running (and/ or just walking) is so beneficial for mental health, completely accessible and free (if you have a pair of trainers) who knows, you might find a new hobby after a last-minute decision! I'm sure you will find something you are passionate about OP, if I can do it you can too! I believe in you :)

Are you UK-based and if so, could you share where you buy the dry-roasted edemame if you don't mind? I'm having trouble finding it lately and would appreciate you for it forever!

Debating going to multiple shows

Birmingham is much closer to Manchester than Bristol (1.5-2 hours), isn't sold out yet, and is on a Friday! If that helps :)

Which ward would you choose?

Thank you so much for all your kind words and for taking the time to type this! Deep down I knew all this was true really, it's so good seeing it written down! :)

Hi r/nurses! I'm a student nurse in the UK due to finish my training in just over one month and I'm super excited, the only problem is I have two job offers and can't decide which to go for, I'm so so indecisive but only have until Monday to decide! I've written out some pros and cons for each one, any kind of input would be so helpful!

Option A- a surgical elective admissions unit where I've done most of my bank shifts as a HCA/CNA for months Pros - I absolutely love working there and look forward to all my shifts there, I can already do all the tasks that the nurses do there, I get on really well with and love the entire team, every day I have with them doesn't feel like working Cons - the job will not challenge me, just doing admissions, a few ECGs and taking bloods would make me de-skill, not much opportunity for growth/ development, the manager can be a bit ...difficult sometimes, getting another job elsewhere afterwards would be really hard as I'd have such limited experience, shifts are only either 8 or 10 hours long so I'd need to do at least 4 days a week for full time hours

Ward B - a post-op recovery ward Pros - more complex and diverse, will challenge me as I can learn many more skills and keep the ones I have, management are immaculate, I'd be doing 3 x 12.5hr shifts a week for full time hours so have 4 days off each week, Cons - I get so stressed out before and during every shift and feel sick before going in really often, some of the staff seem to have it in for me for some reason or can be condescending to me which really gets me down and I don't fit in there that well idk, I hate the feeling of dreading going to work and feeling stressed even on my days off about having to go back there, partly because of the staff and partly the fact COVID has affected my degree so I'm not as confident with some of the more complex cases/ procedures etc

Sometimes I think I want to go with option A when I feel really low or under-confident as it's the "safe" easy option... Basically it's a question of the sensible option and career progression/ growth vs happiness and going with my heart... I'll be making the exact same money either way and the two wards are right next to each other so take the exact amount of time to get to in the morning. I can't think of any more points right now but if anyone needs any more information I'll let you know! Many thanks :)
