Hello! I weigh around 60 kgs and my height is 5’6 ish I am looking to join gym join for health purposes , i have never seen a gym in life and i need ALL sort of advises as a beginner (specifically for girls) regarding gym etc!
Thanks :D
Also yall i am thinking of buying nutrabay pea protein isolate is it good?
for next 2-3 weeks i will have to do workouts in my society gym… my previous gym had the 45°/lying-down leg press, so this version feels pretty different… this is also the maximum depth this machine allows me to go
my main goal is to add more mass to my legs…especially quads. Does the ROM, foot placement and overall form look okay? Also, what would you change in my leg training if the goal is noticeably bigger legs, i struggle to be calorie surplus
…stats 👇🏻
height: 175cm
bodyweight: ~60KG
BF%: 10 to 12% i guess based on InBody readings which consistently say 10%
muscle mass: 30.6kg
Since Aug, I’ve been eating rotis made with a mix of ragi and atta. I ordered a 1 kg pack of BigBasket Royal Organic Ragi & Atta , thinking it would be a better option.
Since my container is medium-sized, I kept 50% of the ragi in the original packet, sealed with an airtight clip, and the other 50% in the container.
Today, while transferring the remaining ragi into the container, I noticed some web-like structures hanging from the flour. I got suspicious since I had never seen this before, so I washed/sieved some of it to see what was there.
And I found white larvae and live insects.(found the same in atta as well🤢)
I genuinely cannot explain how disgusted I feel right now. I’ve been eating this for 1.5 months and never even thought to check. I feel like puking just thinking about it. 🤢
And this was an ORGANIC product that I paid more for than regular ragi. I’m honestly so disappointed. I literally skipped dinner today because I can’t look at food right now.
Has anyone else faced something like this with packaged/organic flour? Should I be checking all my other grains and flours too?
This is BigMuscles Carnage. The last remaining powder has solidified and I cut out a bit with a knife and churn in to ensure it dissolves.
Is it safe to have it this way?
My personal experience- now sometimes I feel the pre-work out has worked sometimes I feel it hasn’t.
Thank you in advance for your help.
So today I finished my biceps and lads exercise, then as usual I walked up to the treadmill for a high incline walk for fat burning.
I saw the treadmill was not being used but an elder person(a man) was doing shitty warmup stuff beside the treadmill, so the machine was not being used I went forward to start my walking session then that boomer abruptly stopped me saying I'm going to use it.
Out of courtesy I said okay then use it and gave away the treademill, then I noticed for next 3/4 minutes he still kept on doing those shitty warmup stuff which everyone knows is shit.
Why do elderly people act so entitled in the gym, our gym trainer also noticed it and started cursing him on the side with me saying he is an idiot it seems. How can you kindof "book" a machine when you aren't using it when rush is high?
How do you guys deal with these kinds of people at the gym?
Hey everyone, I could use some perspective here.
For context, I (skinny-fat man, about 6 months back into lifting after a long break) go to a local gym where there's this one guy who is massive, muscular, and clearly very dedicated. He is actually an inspiration and he comes almost everyday at the same time and spends around 1.5 hours working out.
Lately, I feel like I'm caught in some weird ego battle with him, and it's messing with my workouts. Sometimes I'm on a machine, he’ll come up and ask if I'm done. If I say I have a couple of sets left, he won't just walk away and come back—he literally sits or stands nearby, waiting for me to finish.
It makes me super self-conscious, and I end up rushing my rest periods and cutting my sets short just to get him off my back. I'm not a confrontational person.
The last day he crossed a line for me: to grab my attention while I was working out, he made a whistling sound to get me to look at him, then asked if I was done. I found it pretty disrespectful—he could have easily just said "hey" or "hello."
I feel he doesn't respect me because I'm skinny and not muscular like him.
I've been seriously considering changing my gym schedule just to avoid him entirely, but I'm torn on whether I'm just being too sensitive about gym culture or if his behavior is genuinely out of line.
Whenever I come to the gym these days, the first thing I look is whether he's there. Then I see what workout he's doing and I try to not do the same so that I don't have to overlap with him. Nowadays I even know his workout split and I'm able to plan my workouts around his.
On days he's not there, I feel a sense of relief. I guess a lot of this is just in my head.
How would you guys handle this? Should I change my timing to protect my peace, or is there a way to shut this down?

it's been couple of weeks in the gym (restarted after few months).
my aim was to learn from my past mistakes and try to smoothly integrate working out along with my usual lifestyle and other commitments. however, gym is really eating alot of my time during the day, sometimes upwards of 2 to 2:30 hours. this includes the commute (8-10mins), bit of treadmill in the starting, stretching, warmups and then the main lifting. i don't understand how my gym sessions get so freakish long. this is NOT sustainable at all.
i thought i was either overdoing the sets / exercises, or wasting too much different sets. today i tried to control both. hit chest / triceps / shoulders, just two exercises for each muscle group. timed my sets, but couldn't notice any difference. the intensity wasn't even that hard that it should feel like after literal 2 hours in the gym. i'm not training for olympia or competitive or whatever, it REALLY shouldn't take more than 1 hour but what the fuck i don't know.
this really is affecting my other routines like studying and chores. i'm a runner who started running, and wanted to continue running, but the gym takes so much time and i don't feel like going out of the house again later in the day for a run. i've been trying to wrap up lifting quickly so i can do a quick cardio session post-workout, but again the workout takes so much time that i've to rush home once it gets over. so my cardio is really getting a hit and i'd hate to lose all my running progress.
i see alot of such frequent posts about two groups of people: those who also end up wasting two hours, and those experienced ones who finish it swiftly within 45mins to 1hour. maybe the reason could be that being a beginner, i take too much time to settle in during the exercise because i'm always trying to fix my form. also it's so crowded 5-7pm, so that i always have to improvise my pre-made workout routine to adapt according to the availability of an exercise / machine.
nonetheless, i thought of asking here because there might be experienced folks here who might have dealt with this problem and have figured out their own ways to figure it out.
So I mixed 3 tbsp chia seeds bought from a local shop in Greek yogurt and some milk overnight and they are almost the same as they were, is this all they grow or am I right ?😭
Why won't you people consume them? 50-100g is more than enough against a glycinate dose which is quite tough to find, and seeds also give you healthy fats, zinc, fiber and satiety.
Recently, I went to a grocery store wearing a ₹99 T-shirt. It looks like a compression shirt, but it actually isn’t. There were two boys, probably around 15–16 standing nearby. One of them pointed at me and told the other: Look at the body of this guy. The other guy looked at me and replied: That's just a body built by taking medicine, anyone can do it by taking medicine.
At first I felt insulted. But on my way back home, I was laughing about it. And then I realised: Ki body aisi banao ki logon ko lage you’re on roids. And for context I'm not that jacked, just lean enough.
That might be one of the funniest compliments I’ve ever received.
What’s the best compliment you’ve ever got on your physique?
I weigh 65kg with 180 cm height, my upper body is jacked, yet I'm lean. I recently picked up badminton after a very long break and will have an intense 2h session and will be exhausted afterwards. Evontho its just 2 or 1 sessions a week, I was just wondering whehter this can affect my gains. Im planning to bulk up and been working out 3 days a week(due to work).
Hi fam,
Indian brands are often considered bad, stupid, and copied only because most brands have the same manufacturer.
Having the same manufacturer isn't the problem. In a country like India, where capital isn't freely available, setting up a manufacturing unit might actually be a bad idea.
Lack of capital and experience invites serious quality concerns!
Contract manufacturers have one job that is to manufacture, keeping quality controls and FSSAI regulations in mind.
The metrics we are supposed to be tracking are in the last slide.
Neureos Knows :)
Hey guys, please help me out.
As the title says, I just can’t seem to enjoy training my core and legs. I know how important both are, but I find the exercises extremely boring and, honestly, pretty damn hard.
How do you guys make leg and core training more enjoyable?
I’d really appreciate some simple exercises that I can start with. I’m wondering if I find them so difficult because my legs and core are just weak right now.
The biggest problem is leg day, though. I swear, every time I train legs, I feel completely destroyed for the next 2–3 days. The soreness and fatigue are so bad that all I want to do afterward is lie in bed and do absolutely nothing.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong, or maybe I’m just not conditioned enough yet.
So, what exercises or routines would you recommend for someone who genuinely hates leg and core training?
So basically I'm looking for good recipes (tasty)
I will rather fo more cardio then eating boiled everything
If you guys have any weekly recipes please share that will be very very helpful and yes I do eat non vej
I'm from maharashtra.
I'm looking for a fitness tracker/watch under ₹20k and would love some suggestions.
I'm a 27M, currently a casual gym-goer trying to get back into fitness — muscle building, getting leaner/abs, strength training, occasional running, etc. I want something better than a basic tracker that I can use for several years without feeling the need to upgrade.
Considering:
Main things I care about: calorie/activity tracking, HR, sleep, strength training, running and overall fitness tracking.
I don't want Whoop because of the subscription model.
What would you guys recommend for my use case?

Hey everyone, I’m a 19-year-old guy, 5'9" tall and around 52 kg, and I’m trying to gain some healthy weight.
I currently live in a PG quite far away from my home. The main issue is that the PG food isn’t very calorie-dense, and I often feel like I’m not getting enough calories throughout the day. I also don’t really have enough time in my college schedule to cook meals for myself, so preparing proper high-calorie meals regularly isn’t practical for me.
Because of this, I’m considering adding a mass gainer to my diet to help me meet my daily calorie requirements. I’m not trying to gain weight extremely quickly—I just want to gradually put on some weight and build muscle along with it.
For those who have been in a similar situation:
1]Which mass gainer would you recommend
2] How much mass gainer should a beginner take?
3] Any good and reasonably priced options available in India?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually used these products or have experience
gaining weight while living in a PG/hostel. Thanks!
