I don’t have a pull-up bar at home, so I’ve been improvising with the kitchen slab.

Managed to do 20 pull-ups and 20 chin-ups so far.

Now the goal is to push that number to 50.

I’ve been doing home workouts consistently for around 4+ weeks now and eating mostly home-cooked food instead of junk.

My routine right now is kinda simple: • push (chest + triceps) • pull-ups + chin-uos (back + biceps) • situps + plank (core + abs)

The “before” pics are from around week 3, and the “after” pics are recent.

I can definitely see some improvements but my left arm still looks smaller/weaker compared to the right side.

So I wanted honest feedback: • Is this normal beginner imbalance from dominant hand usage? • Or does it mean my form/workout structure is bad? • Am I doing too many reps and not enough balanced exercises?

And overall… does this workout routine even make sense long term or am I just randomly exhausting myself with high reps? 😅

Would appreciate real advice...

I have been doing home workout since 4 weeks without any equipment, just body weight training.

Only eating home cooked meals.
tbh I can't see any progress, little discouraged.

need motivation or helpful advice.

Home workout, no equipments just body weight training.

Only home cooked meals.

I know this is too soon for any change but still here are my before and current pics.

There’s something insanely attractive about girls who are smart.

I mean the ones who stay back after class helping friends understand concepts, explaining the same thing 5 times without getting irritated, sharing notes, fixing bugs, teaching before exams, etc.

I swear watching a girl explain something passionately does something to my brain. 😭 Like I’ll genuinely stop paying attention to the topic and start admiring how smart she is instead.

Anyone else feel this way or am I cooked? 💀

I’ve been consistently working out at home for a little over 3 weeks using a fitness app (no equipment).

I haven’t skipped days, I’m putting in the effort, and I want to improve but I’m starting to question if what I’m doing is actually effective.

The app gives me like 14–17 different exercises per session, and honestly it feels all over the place.

So now I’m thinking of switching things up and being more structured.

Option 1: Daily challenge style

• 100 pushups
• 100 situps
• 100 pullups
• 100 squats

Option 2: Split routine

• Push day (chest, shoulders, triceps)
• Abs day
• Pull day (back, biceps)
• Abs day
• Leg day
• Abs day

Be brutally honest — I’d rather fix my approach now than waste months doing ineffective workouts.

Update from my last week post,

I stuck with it for another week, still doing home workouts using an app, no equipment, just bodyweight.

This time… I can see some changes.

Not anything crazy, but noticeable if I compare properly:

• Belly looks a bit tighter (especially from the side)
• Chest has slightly better shape
• Arms feel a little more solid
• Biggest difference: posture — I’m standing straighter without forcing it

Strength-wise also improved:

• Push-ups feel easier than week 1
• Core exercises don’t destroy me like before

Diet is still simple:

• Home food (roti, sabzi, dal, rice)
• No junk, no strict calorie counting

Still far from where I want to be, but at least now it feels like I’m not wasting time.

Attaching week 1 vs week 3 pics — curious what others think.

Open to criticism. What should I improve next?

I’ve had these faint red lines across my lower abdomen for as long as I can remember.

They’ve never hurt or itched, so I mostly ignored them.

Now that I’ve started working out and trying to get in better shape, I’m wondering — will these fade or go away over time as I lose fat/gain muscle?

Has anyone else had something similar? Did they fade with fitness or stay the same?

Anything that actually helps reduce their appearance?

Looking for real experiences or advice.

I’ve been doing app-based home workouts (no equipment) for the last 2+ weeks.

Took this video today to track progress.

Hate those love handels 🥲

Honestly can’t tell if anything is changing or if I’m just imagining it.

I know this is too early for any visible change.

Current routine: • ~20–25 min daily • Mostly bodyweight • No diet tracking yet

What should I fix or add?

Been doing home workouts (no equipment, just push-ups + bodyweight) for 2 weeks and decided to record a quick video today…

And bro… my veins are actually visible??

Like not crazy bodybuilder level or anything, but definitely more than before. I wasn’t expecting any visible change this fast.

Now I’m confused: Is this actual progress already? Or just a pump/lighting/angle trick messing with me?

For context:

• Only home workout app
• Mostly push-ups + basic stuff
• No gym, no weights
• Trying to eat a bit cleaner

Has anyone else noticed veins popping out this early? Or am I getting fooled by beginner hype 😭
