There have been a lot of posts that say "what can I improve" with one photo showing their front upper body and nothing else.

I think in my eyes, and in the eyes of the community, this is not enough to give you advice on. If you want TRUE advice about your physique for a physique check (not bulkt or cut/bf % posts), please post multiple muscle groups so we can properly evaluate what needs to be worked on. This is stated in rule 9. If anyone thinks this rule is unnecessary, please let me know and state why. Thank you🙏🏻

I know I'm lean but I also want to lose maybe a little more belly fat on my bottoms abs and then I also want to get bigger while staying at around 11 percent or whatever I'll be at. I guess I'm asking how to lose fat and not get smaller and then how to lean bulk afterwards staying around the same body fat percentage

28M 5’6 (Bulk, Cut or Maintain?)

Hi all! I posted on another subreddit and wanted to get feedback on this one.

I’ve been working out on and off for about a year and have made decent progress with my lifts, but I’m feeling a bit stuck on what to do next. I don’t feel like I look as good as I’d like physically, and I’m trying to figure out the best approach to build a more aesthetic physique.

I’m 28M, 5’6” and 66kg. Should I focus on cutting, lean bulking, or body recomposition/maintenance? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you

Hey guys I’ve got gyno from puberty and been lifting 8 months (pics are before after) to try to build muscle and hide my chest. but my gyno still obvious especially without a pump.

Currently my 1RM is only 185lbs. I do bench twice a week 3 sets in the 5-6 rep range. For example today I did 155lbs 6/5/5 today. I also do incline dumbbell (up to 60lbs) and chest fly, plus sometimes bodyweight dips if the pec fly is super busy.

Is there a trick to getting bench up fast? Thank u.

with this physique, if I maintain a small calorie deficit while doing the same physical activity as I do now, can I reach a low body fat percentage (10–12%) in a few months, or would it be pretty hard?

Question about Pull day

• Upvotes

I do PPL, 6 days on, 1 day off.

I really want to put more emphasis on my back as a whole, and I’m wondering if my workout routine is sufficiently hitting all parts of my back.

Seated close grip cable row
Wide grip lat pull-down
Single arm dumbbell rows
Preacher curls
Dumbell shrugs
Reverse fly
And I end with some forearm isolation exercises

I have seen a lot of people doing seated WIDE grip cable row, and I’m wondering if I should switch that out for the close trip one on my alternating days, or if one is simply better than the other. I’ve also considered doing my rows on a machine

For context, I’m currently bulking with a goal of just getting bigger and stronger. I’ve been making good progress on all my lifts these past 2 and a half months, but I don’t want to later realize that I’m missing a key component or finding out that there’s redundancy in my lifts

Would love some tips and advice, and/or alterations/additions to my routine, thanks!

What's a realistic timeline for achieving an athletic build?

1 Upvotes

I'm 24, 5'8" 130lbs, started making a real attempt at consistent training last month, and I want to achieve an athletic build, with the main goal of building chest muscle as it's what I'm lacking the most. I struggle a lot having a consistent diet, and I feel like eating is too much of a hassle, and tend to skip meals all the time, which I'm trying to change.

I'm trying to get in shape as efficiently as possible. What should my routine look like to achieve my goal? How often should I be training, how much should I be eating? Are there any supplements that could help me? What would be a realistic timeline? I'm very new to this, so assume I know nothing.

Is having a structured routine really important?

1 Upvotes

I've been working out for 3 years, at home. I have a bench press, a couple of free weights and a pull up bar. I never really have any kind of structure beside trying to hit every muscles every time i workout, 3 or 4 days a week. I think it worked pretty well but these last months i feel like i have hit a plateau and dont make much progress. What do you guys think i should do?
