Hi, i have been going to the gym 5 times a week for around 4-5 months. I am on accutane which I have heard makes your joints a bit more sore however my dermatologist says at my dosage it should not be affecting my joints to a point where its noticeable. Anyways, my shoulders, wrists and elbows are always clicking and I have an elbow injury right now which stops me from benching or doing any tricep exercise. My form was horrible to behin but now I have a PT and my form has been much better m, however, what should I do right now? How can I prevent it to continue and what should I do now?

I believe this is usual but… in May I weighed about 205lbs and could bench 225x20. Now I weigh 180lbs and can only bench 225x6ish.

Did I just lose that much muscle mass? Who else has lost gains in the gym from cutting?

I usually work out at home, but I’ve been wanting to get into the gym to have some more freedom with machines and better weights. I used to go to the gym, not alot, but I used to go with friend. The only issue is that my friends have moved away from me and I’ve been really anxious about going to the gym alone. I’m a pretty built guy but I still feel like I’m going to be judged from using a machine wrong or having bad form. Any tips?

I started taking 3g Creatinine pre-workout after months of using regularly (3months to be exact ) I noticed hair-fall..does this supplement have anything to do is it true that DTH increase cause hair-fall how can Stop this effect and recover my hair?

I’m 6’5 ≈215 and have been lifting for about 6 months, just looking for critiques and maybe any advice from other tall lifters, thinking about going on a cut

I play rugby and go to the gym regularly (have done for last 6 years or so). I am struggling to progress my bench press. My other lifts have progressed massively, but struggling to bench heavier and have been stuck for a while. Squat = 235kg, deadlift 245kg and Bench is 120kg. I weigh 115kg, I’m not looking to be a power lifter or anything as I play rugby but would like to lift heavier - guys lighter than me in the team can bench more than me.

To give you some context, around 5 years ago I had my left shoulder under the knife - ruptured labrum repair - my range of motion or strength has never been the same again - I often get pain in the shoulder when I over work it. I feel think this has had an impact on my bench press. I’ve been stuck on 120kg for 2 years - every time I try add more weight my should becomes unstable almost. I do a lot of shoulder exercise to strengthen it, but it’s like I’ve hit my limit. I’d like to be closer to 150kg bench if I could.

Any advice on what I can do or do I just accept that my bench will always be weaker than my other lifts?

So I hadn't worked out in 25+ years. I was a NYC construction worker for all of those years , so even though I wasn't working out in a gym, being a steamfitter in NYC is a 7 hour daily work out, so I've been in decent shape but no definition at all because I was drinking, drugging, eating whatever I felt like. But since January I fasted & went like 90% keto-ish diet, lost 50lbs & do my own workout from back 25 years ago. 3-600 sit-ups 60 side planks Switching each day btwn 75-150 curls 75-150 Flys 75-150 press 300-600 shrugs After all of this, my question is, I used to do a scoop on ghb after my work out & 5-8 hours later, I'd max out again no prob. But GNC doesn't carry it anymore , the bathtub versions a bit to risky, so I'm wondering if there's another product similar .

I am a Oly lifter and I’m looking for the best supplements to take that are approved by USADA and WADA. I already take Creatine, K2, D3, Omega3, Ashwagandha, Zinc, Magnesium Glycinate, L-Theanine, and Manganese. Any Suggestions?

I lift consistently and my thighs have gotten big enough to the point where if I buy pants the waist has to be way to big for them to fit over my thighs. I am then stuck with pants in swimming in because they are the only ones that I can get on my thighs and ass. Does anyone know where I can get khakis or slacks that are tailored towards lifters or will fit my thighs and waist.

I’m 18, I weigh 190 and have a hight of 6,1 and I can Bench 50 for 4 sets of 12.

Hi all! I’m 21 M, around high 170’s. I’m about 12 days into a mini cut, eating about 2150 calories a day with maintenance at around 3550, and my libido in the last two or three days has plummeted. I’ve been eating a decent amount of fat (around 75-85 grams) but obviously that hasn’t been super helpful. Normally I wouldn’t care but me and my gf are long distance and I see her in 8 days.

Is there something I can change about my diet to fix this or am I better off just pausing the cut for now and going back to maintenance or possible starting a light bulk so I’m not fucking limp the whole time with her.

For reference, normally i can get horny VERY easily so this drop has been a huge change for me

I’m a 16 yr old athlete, I’m 6’6 and around 180lbs if I want offers in sports I’m gonna need to hit the gym but don’t know where to start. Can you please help me?

I always do squats every leg day (alternate between front and back squat) On days to concentrate quads I also do Hack Squat What do you advise is the one suplemental lift for glutes? My gym has: -Seated Leg Press w/ wide stance (Pulley) -Incline Leg Press w/ wide stance (Plated) -Plated V-Squat What are the benefits of each?

Hey everyone,

So I alternate weekly between two houses. At one of the houses, it’s easier to do full body 3x a week. At the other house, doing a ppl split is easier. I know sometimes changing up your routine can help muscle growth, but I’m wondering if switching every week would hurt growth. Thanks!

Currently I am alternating between a push and pull day, but I was wondering if a full body workout might be more effective for 3 days a week. Do you also potentially have other general tips for working out 3 days a week?

Is having pull ups lay pull downs and seated cable rows too much?
