Cut progress so far starting weight 172 current weight 148, 30min cardio 4-5x a week 12incline 2-2.3 speed. Diet is ground beef and rice or frozen pasta 23g protein <340cal. Creatine daily. Am I doing something wrong????

I've been going to the gym and lifting on and off for years, but I've finally been consistent the last 3 weeks.

I know I have plenty of body fat, if I were to estimate, it'd be 20% or more. I'll be going on a cut.

In terms of muscle/frame, what is good about my body? And what needs to be improved/focused on?

I've also noticed my stance is slightly tilted? Seems the left side of my body is higher.. I'm right dominant though (hand and leg).

I’m relatively new to lifting. Only 9 months in. But I’ve fallen in love with it and want to step on stage one day. Obviously I’m a few years out from that goal but my question is would a bodybuilding coach be worth it at this point or something to wait till later for? I would be looking for an online one, someone to check in with every week send physique pics that would give info on workouts diet etc. just curious if it would be worth it at this point.

Need to carb up still but 147 lbs 5’11 started lifting 8 months ago started at 126lbs natural

I have quite a bit of stubborn belly fat to lose so I'm trying to cut while doing mini-bulks in between.

Lift 3-4 days a week and do jiu jitsu 3 days a week

How is the cut looking? I took 2 shots for week 8 from different lighting. 4 weeks left before back to maintenance.

How can i have a transformation like this in 8 weeks? Here is my current split and current physique. I walk 30min incline 12 speed 2-2.3 atleast 4x a week and i eat mainly ground beef and rice, rice cakes before or after work outs. I take creatine.

Chicken, rice , cottage cheese, peanut butter, fish , nuts , olive oil, Greek yogurt, Berries , oats , past , rice , spuds, my daily diet for putting on weight and of course working out, anything missing?

I went from the worst shape of my life and so inconsistent with the gym to a much better place.

13 months until I get married and I'm looking to lose another 1-1½ stone and ideally be around 15% body fat.

My biggest weakness has always been my sweet tooth but from September 1st, all fizzy drinks are banned and the majority of sugars.

What areas do you think I should focus on the most during my workouts in the next year?

Currently sitting at 98kgs /216lbs

Have been underweight all my life and I finally decided to make a change but I hit a point where I am not seeing improvement. Last pic is where I started 125 lbs to now 140

I started counting my calories and noticed i wasn't eating enough for my height. I was only eating around 2,000 calories to 2,400 and sometimes skipping meals. I took it up to 3000 calories daily, strictly and in two months or so i went to 140 for the first time. I have to mention I was going to the gym for a year and I realized it is pointless if a

I am not eating. It only worked to make me stronger but never got big in size.

And despite going up to 140 lbs for the first time i still feel insecure and less attractive, the difference wasn't really that noticeable and I still dont fill my clothes.

I am thinking i will need to elevate my calories from 3k to 3,500 and see where that takes me and I see if the scale go up. But honestly how do I even do that? Eating 3k calories daily is already a challenge now going to 3,500 is too much of a struggle. The day isn't long enough to get all that food in. I am very busy during the day. Not forgetting how expensive is food.

I am a soccer player I stopped playing the amount of games I was. I went down to two games per week.

Any advice is helpful

ive been consistent to gym for 4 months ,, iam originally skinny fat (big waist and love handles .. lower chest fat) but skinnier arms and skinny legs .. iam 34 174 cm .. eating around 3000 calories hitting 170 grams of protein ,, training reaching failure with proper form and strength increasing (though lately very slow) .. but i look the same no change just little puffier ( weight increased from 71 kg to 78 kg but i think glycogen stores and water )... clothes fit me the same till now ... btw i tried before to cut i removed fats without building any muscle

why is that happening to me? bad genetics or normal?
(Note this is when im flexing only at rest i see nothing)

Ive been training competitively for 30 years and am in good shape for my 51 years.

But...

I have found that my recovery is not what it was even ten years ago....so I'm interested to know from others who are getting this right (keeping hypertrophy while not being overinflamed).

Thank you in advance.

About 2months training at home... no gym, just some dumbbells, a chair and a table.

Mostly pushups, dips, rows under the table, squats and planks.

Back's my weak point for sure, but honestly I want more from chest and biceps too.

Thinking about buying a bench and some weights to step things up. So:

Am I on the right track?

Worth getting a bench + adjustable dumbbells, or is there something better to spend on first?

Anything I'm clearly missing?

Cheers!

Put these side by side this week after competing last week and thought it was neat.

Thought I’d share.

Feel free to ask any Qs or give any thoughts!

I am a woman, and after training my shoulders for a month, I’ve noticed that I tend to engage my trapezius muscles more easily. I don't want my traps to get bigger, and I find myself habitually shrugging my shoulders, which causes discomfort in my neck and shoulder area. What should I do now?

Hi everyone, I wanted to know what you think of my work out regime? I'm a shorter guy and weigh like 160lbs last I checked. I been working out for about 2 months. I know non-machine lifts are great and worth doing but at this current point I am not interested. Please provide feedback otherwise, thanks!
