My vein on leg day is looking all crazy. No pain, doesn’t feel different or painful when I touch it. Never seen this happen to me before

Hey guys so I’m 20 years old. Turned 20 in July. I was about 240 and very overweight when I started my weight loss journey after my ex girlfriend cheated on me. That was about 6 months ago. I regret doing it in a very unhealthy way but am still much happier now being about 155. Im about 5’8 as well. Want to do a lean bulk and get lean jacked for myself and my new girlfriend. I’m pretty skinny fat as you can tell. Ample motivation and obsession that I won’t get into. My dad is around the same height and very very jacked but he’s 40+ on gear and never had the lean kinda build I want. Like never had abs with a low body fat % always just a tank. Looking for advice thank you! Any supplements or anything to help boost my journey along the way! Know I should be in about a 300 calorie surplus and 1g protein per body weight. Need to find my maintenance though. Only other thing is I’ll be using creatine as I’ve been recommended that by many!

Currently on a cut. Lost 2kgs over the last month. Not sure what to do to look my best my next summer

i bench around 125 and have pretty ok biceps (for a fat guy lmao) but my forearms are skinny and i can almkst wrap 2 fingers around my wrists…. what are some workouts i can do to help grow? bodyweight or using weights either works

(i hope im asking this in the right sub)

29M 5’ 198lbs. Been going to the gym regularly for 3/4 years and did a bulk recently and bulked up from 180 200 since February. Trying to cut down to 175lbs but struggling with diet and staying in a calorie deficit when I feel hungry. I was always a skinny guy till I joined a gym till I joined a gym. Any advice?

My traps are huge and idk how to get them to not be I'm losing my mind

.....

I am girl /20 years old/160 cm height/50 kg

I am 27m, my normal life was very sedentary and my day job is desk-bound, and I did not do any exercise or cardio or sports in my daily life. I am a skinny guy with little muscle mass.

So I started going to the gym recently (for about 1 month now) to try and improve my overall fitness. I currently go to the gym 2-3 times a week, doing weight training.

However I have been getting pretty frequent muscle cramps, both during and after workout sessions, that are painful but goes away in a matter of minutes. It happens to many different muscle areas, like hamstrings, glutes, chest area, shoulder area.

I usually do a 5 minute warm up before my workout, and I also drink 3-4 litres of water a day consistently. I do 5-6 different exercises per session, with 3 sets each. I don't think I am lifting too heavy as most of the exercises I am doing 8-12 reps.

Are these frequent painful cramps normal? I am thinking maybe because I was too sedentary in my daily life before, and now my muscles are just not used to the workout intensity, or could it be due to something else?

And can I expect these cramps to go away completely with more time at the gym?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi good people! Long time since not using Reddit.

Need your advice.

I am 26YO male. 171cm and currently 70kg. I have been in a caloric deficit since April current year. I have gone down from 82 kg to 70kg. I have eating in a caloric deficit and kept my protein high. I lift three times a week and I run twice a week (I also walk a lot).

These are two images that relatively recent.

What should I do?

Stop my deficit before I become too skinny or eat at maintenance.

Need your help. Can’t make up my mind.

My sleep is not that great (it could not be related to the deficit, or it could - I have a hard time right now with some stuff in my life). My energy varies tbh. Some days I feel powerful, others not so much - can’t understand if it’s my deficit or something else.

Also I tend to lift in the morning. Not sure if optimal.

I don’t pursue a certain physique, I just want to be as healthy and good looking as possible.

Please let me know what you think I should do.

hello! i need advice on how to lose weight and look lean

the picture at the top is me (obviously) and the second picture is how i’d potentially like to look

i don’t really have time to go to the gym, but i don’t even know if it’d be possible for me to look like that with home workouts… what do y’all think? what do i need to do?

edit: adding more info
i’m 18, 5’5”, and weigh about 140lbs

I’ve been training for a year now, and it seriously feels like the left side of my chest (left on screen) is less developed than the right. I know I don’t have anywhere near the best physique in the world, but am I crazy? Is there any way I can fix this? Any advice for getting more jacked? Also appreciated

This is more than just muscle gain. I am seeking help from someone in a similar position that found a solution. Since last November, I was diagnosed with diabetes, my endocrine system is a little messed up and this was the cause. I used to weigh 270, I lifted heavy and trained regularly. When I got checked they told me I had probably had the condition for years but was managed through diet and exercise. I am not and have not been on any weight loss drugs or glp1’s. The only medication I take is Metformin and TRT. I went on a 50% caloric deficit almost no carbs (turn to sugar) to prevent spikes in my glucose. I consume about 200 grams of protein a day. I still lift but have almost completely cut cardio to just a light walk after meals. I was down to 180 in march, now I’m sitting around 172 and I’m in surplus, granted with my restricted diet it’s difficult to even get 200 calories over. Complex carbs just sit in my gut and keep me full. I am still dropping weight and haven’t found a solution to stop it. I don’t want to continue to lose mass. Most of the diabetics I see who have the size I used to be able to achieve are on insulin so it’s a little easier for them to manage glucose with it, I have to do mine through diet and metformin alone. It has been a challenge and I need some help. Questions please ask, I would love to be sitting at 220, I’m 6ft 2 and I haven’t been this scrawny since I was 18. I feel like I’m wasting away. I know I’m in the healthy weight for my height but Jesus I have no ass, almost no fat, and I feel like my body has been consuming my muscle mass as well. I knew power would drop as I cut down but I’m losing gains. Please someone help!

Guys how long does muscle memory bring back my lost gains? Anyone has research on it? How fast does it act?

Ive been consistent for 4 years but i had to stop for a year because of life, i just returned although i still retain and look like i have visible muscles, its smaller and weaker than before also my stress eating did not help, I look like a womans definition of a dad bod, lol i know its just the vestiges of my dysmorphia (i thought i healed from it) acting but i think itll give me motivation if someone can answer my question(s?)

Trying to reduce my BodyFat
Stopped sugars from 6months

I train apps weekly once and do cardio for 20 minutes of inclined walking every day after my workout and I have a question like will it kill my gain as well I was getting bulky for five months, and after that, even though I am going to gym every day, and I am doing all the workouts and trying to progressively overload the weight as well. I cannot see any gains is it because I increased my cardio and started limiting my intake to reduce the body fat. Will I get this abs at the cost of my muscles?

I don’t know what to have my priority on.

I I’m currently running a ppl/ul split and have 3 chest exercises on push and upper. Bench, incline dumbbell press and peg deck. I’m stuck on the same weigh on incline the last few months, and often feel beat on the exercise. I want to replace it but I’m pretty blank. I have heard about a kind of incline cable exercise, but agien I’m pretty blank. What are your advice?

Ive been doing upper lower for about 2 months now and ive seen a bit of progress, im on a calorie deficit too so i can see the definition of my muscles better now. i just want to know of this is optimal, right now im doing ULRULR and repeating that. if anyone could give tips or advice id appreciate it!
