Hi ladies! As the title states, my legs can handle more weight but my arms can't supply it. I was doing RDLs today and I usually do 20-30 pounds, but today my usual weights were taken and I decided I could try to switch up to 40 lbs and see how my glutes would handle it. When I was doing the RDLs, I found that though my glutes were activated, I knew they could definitely handle more. My arms though? Shaking and exhausted. My split is legs, pull, rest legs, push, rest. My legs are significantly stronger than my arms and thats part of the reason I'm working out, but the main reason is I want to get stronger in general! (and get a bigger butt lol) Do I just have to stick to 40lbs until my arms can handle it? Or would lifting straps help me? I saw people online talking about the straps allowing them to lift heavier, so I thought it would be good to check here before investing in some. Is that the solution? Or should I just wait it out? I've been going to the gym consistently for about 3 months now, so I am pretty new.

Also I was just wondering if its best to do the same exercises on both leg days, or to do different ones each day?
My currently leg day is
- hip abductors
- hip thrust
- leg press
- RDLs
and I do each 1x8 as a warm up, then 2x till failure
Literally any and all help is appreciated! Thank uuuu :D

Hey. I'm looking to get more of an understanding of chakras, but I have no idea where to start. I want to find a good book about it to really read and think on it, but some books I have found feel as though they lack depth of knowledge or sincerity. Like kind of commercialized I guess. Does anyone have any good recs? They don't necessarily have to be from Indian authors, but it is preferable. Thanks!

Hi! As the title states, I'm looking to pick up Muay Thai or kickboxing. I am an absolute beginner and have no idea where to start. I am very scrawny/underweight and a woman, so I'm a little intimidated to join classes/gyms that are predominately men. I am also just generally self conscious when it comes too stuff like this, and thats exactly why I want to start. Does anyone know of any all-female/female dominated gyms in Hudson county or even manhattan area? Or just any gyms that won't make me anxious? It's seriously intimidating!

Hello! As the title states, I'm looking for an art studio somewhere in the hudson county area. Preferably bayonne, jersey city, and hoboken. I'm also okay with something in manhattan/brooklyn. I'm honestly just looking for something cheap. I would prefer a communal space that comes with easels to use. Does anyone know of any space like this? Or would I have to just rent a personal studio/go to open studios if I want a space? I'm just picking up painting again after a 3 year long hiatus, so renting my own private studio feels a bit excessive. Any and all help is appreciated!
