I used to use MyFitnessPal but its pop up ads are particularly annoying and paying $20 for an ad free version doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Hello,...

You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons....

I do lying lateral raises because I find it impossible to progress with just standing lateral raises, I do occasionally include them, however a thing is that I also feel a lot of traps when I am doing them (the lying version), so how can I minimize it? The cable machine at my gym has 5kg increments which is excessive for this...

Hello,...

I swear this hit a muscle that I don’t think I’ve ever activated (the teres minor)....

So I have been in a bit of a research about how much volume is necessary when you are training with ‘proper intensity’ because I am having trouble progressing on my lifts on PHAT hypertrophy program (I am on a bulk) and I am afraid all weight I am gaining is fat, and a lot of people claim that high intensity low volume is...

You often see people in fitness mention going through a cut/bulk cycle, or mention one, with plans to follow up with the other. Why is it that cutting and bulking so often happen in cycles, rather than said person just doing both at once, until they hit their desired weight?

I’ve been training my crush grip strength for approx. four months now. After purchasing my first inexpensive adjustable hand gripper I couldn’t even close its maximum setting of 60 kg/~132 lb. Fortunately, a couple months ago I saw great improvement and 60 kg is a walk in the park now....

I was doing incline smith press and seem to have hurt my front delt in the middle of set, It wasn’t sharp or sudden but I just kinda noticed it, and i made a chump move and decided to finish the set, instead of racking it immediately, i skipped overhead press and lateral raises, I did some cable flies which didn’t seem to...

Hi together,...

I took a new route on the way back and it added .70 or miles to it so actual 15mi was completed in 3hr 24m. After I saw the 15 on my watch I said screw it I’m walking the rest .

Hi all, I’ve been lifting for about half a year and following 5/3/1 for most of that time. I will be traveling a lot for a 6-month period; at best I will have sporadic access to hotel gyms. My goal during this time is to maintain strength and work on cardio/conditioning....

The free brunch is every week

I started going to the gym two months ago, and had always trouble that my underarms are already tired before my back really gets going. So for my birthday my buddy created the “Bulking Starterpack” comprised of wristbands, pulling aids, nuts, peanut butter, protein bars and biscuits. May the fun begin

A few yall probably remember me asking about runners knee or pain due to running, well I’m getting better at it yall....

So i have been on cut for like 8 months at this point and i have been progressing very litte (I have tried a lot of different styles PPL, bro splits and experimenting with weight and reps)...

I get workout euphoria from the group fitness classes at the boxing gym....

Basically, it’s been five days and I’m unable to even sit in a chair without a struggle. I didn’t go too hard, mainly squats and leg press. I didn’t think it would take this long to recover considering I still run 4 times a week. Is it normal to be this sore and what can I do to help it?...

What are some mundane goals you can recommend to someone trying to improve their fitness? For example, after watching a video while sitting down on the floor with my knees bent, I realised I could stand up without using my hands or resting my leg on the floor. It’s indicative of core strength, right? I often do push-ups. So...

I go relatively heavy on them (fail on 6-8 reps) because my grip strength affects my bench press, however i have started to feel some moderate pain on my left wrist (joint), it happens when i try to squeeze something. Is this normal? Also are there any other exercises that possibly don’t use the wrist joint as much?
