Maybe they’re skinny (for now) but still don’t like how they look, or maybe it takes a tremendous amount of effort for them to maintain their weight and they’re bitter, or maybe being skinny is literally the only thing they have in a dumpster fire life so they’re grasping at low-hanging fruit. Just contempt in general is such a dark emotion to witness and whenever I notice it in myself I try hard to do something else and get really weird about Eucharistic adoration for a while.

Conversely…someone being very happy that they aren’t fat isn’t particularly disordered. “Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels” isn’t even that crazy to say

I recently fucked around and found out - went from lazily lifting .5-1x per week to overexerting myself daily and stopped eating, which in turn caused me to stop sleeping - and ended up pinching a nerve or injuring myself in a way that caused sudden symptoms of a herniated neck disc. After a full day it's improved by 50%, and I'm crossing my fingers it's not a real disc

I plan to take a break from exercise for a week, then maybe book a few appointments with a physical therapist to make a plan because I'm scared of going back to working out incorrectly and relapsing. I began lifting on my own without any guidance so maybe they could give me some advice on how to do it properly this time around. In the meantime, any advice on what kind of movement I should be doing?

curious

have u ever used one i don’t know if they’re accurate or not and if I should plan my diet/workouts around the data it gives me

Getting jacked is the best thing I can do to prepare and thrive in our increasingly absurd and unpredictable world. I have no idea what's going to happen from one week to the next, so I train like some stupid shit is always about to go down.

Hi,

Following on from the person asking about her shoulders no longer fitting her dresses. I’m in a similar situation but with the very top part of my thigh, which curves out very suddenly (idk how to describe exactly), especially on the inner part.

Im a model and I need to get this specific measurement down for fit purposes. It feels like a mix of fat and muscle too I think?

I’m thinking of maybe working my lower thigh muscles out more so that they take on more load vs the upper muscles??? Currently I focus on upper body lifting, core stuff and a little bit of running + cycling. Not interested in losing weight at all but trying to figure out if there’s any way to recomp this? Thanks

Say you're finishing up your 45-minute workout and a friend shows up. How would you go on about staying there for another half hour or so? Since I do PPL I just do the accessories of the next day minus the compounds. Is it alright to still do the accessories the next day?

I currently have a leg day routine that I do twice a week which has been working pretty well for me, but I've been trying to hit upper body twice a week (one push day, one pull day), and I'm trying to figure out what exercises I could add to each routine.

On my pull days, I've been hitting cable rows, bicep curls, and lat pulldowns, but I'd like to throw in a 4th exercise that isn't too redundant/isn't just a variation of the previous exercises.

On push days, I've been doing shoulder presses, tricep extensions, and lateral raises. I used to bench more and I don't want a super developed chest (I am a woman lol) but I'm also wondering if there's a 4th exercise that would round this out.

Even if im just looking for advice. My brightness has to be so low i can barely see my screen. I realize this sounds silly. Why should i care right?

Especially when people chase it to the extent they refuse to train their midsection at all and it leads to people looking like everything above their waist is inflated.

Honestly, I think a well developed core is what separates an athlete from a bodybuilder. Like your body is actually useful and can do some work and isn't just for show.
