Three years ago, I was couch potato and very overweight. I used to get out of breath and ache walking up a moderate hill, I used to “feel” even going upstairs. My waistline was steadily increasing as was my self-loathing at seeing photos of myself. At the point at which I was buying 40″ trousers, […]

Bit of my back story. Broke up with my girlfriend of 19 years in February, which meant also only see my kids once a week. So decided wanted to get into fitness to keep my mind busy. I wanted a goal to finally see my abs and get a good body overall. Now I know […]

I have an issue losing my love handles and getting abs. I’m not souly going for some jacked body, a surfer type body would be fine for me. I just can’t seem to lose the stomach, especially the lower part, creating a muffin top whenever I put on real pants. I’m tired of my gut […]

For example I do 120 squats in 2 quick bursts, I do 80 consecutive squats without stopping, take a few seconds break, and finish the rest in another burst. It’s pretty intense and I get really hot and sweaty and I feel the burn in my legs. If I were to do that same number […]

I am a 14 year old who is 43 kilos, I am 161 cm tall, I’m around 16% body fat, and I’m planning to work out. I am pretty limited in diet, but I have asked multiple people, and they think it’s fine. I rarely eat anything sweet, and I get a soda every 3 […]

Feeling absolutely sluggish while working out. As soon as I do one set I feel dizzy, tired and anxious. I’ve been using a cheststrap to monitor my heartrate and I thought it looked normal, what do you guys think ? The first one is from doing chest and biceps . The second one is from […]

I’m 36 and my back has become my clear weak link. My dad suffered through multiple disc issues around this age. I remember him essentially laying on his back for months and do not want to suffer a similar fate. Does anyone have any advice on how can I train my back, starting small and […]

Mid-30s powerlifter here. I caught the cov a month ago and it was rough. Did a workout a week after symptoms cleared and I was hella outta breath real quick! Did an easy session — squatted half my usual weights, slightly higher volume and I was huffing like crazy mid-set. Anyone else experienced this post-cov? […]

I have been weight lifting since I was 16 but since then have gone through strange, biyearly cycles of fitness. For two straight years I will be strong, lean, muscular and have great cardio endurance followed by another two year cycle of complete laziness (think working out once or twice a week) and gaining massive […]

Hi, all. I have a very on-again, off-again relationship with my weight and my health/fitness journey. I have all the equipment anyone could want or need – PR-4000 rack, Nordictrack tread, WaterRower, Rep SSB and Kabuki Trap Bar HD on the way in July. In the height of the shutdowns, I was as low as […]
