I joined a muay thai gym a few days ago and dont get me wrong ive been enjoying it but by default i suck alot. Coach makes us spar the last 5 mins and the people there are nice and considerate, so they dont go as hard on me but they still put in a few hits mild to let me know that i need to keep my guard up which i believe is okay.

My main problem is that im still in this state where i really dont know what to do and i just take up all their shots and i genuinely dont want to keep taking shots repeatedly no matter the strength because im really scared of getting some sort of brain damage along the way. Idk if im thinking right or if im just overly scared. But since im a bit underweight and on the shorter side i feel like any punch on the right place could take me out…

I read about creatine helping the brain and stuff so im thinking of getting that.

So guys, my question is what should i do in this situation? Do i quit and gain some muscles or just limit myself to the bag until im ready again?

Im almost done with highschool,
Still havent decided what to major in.
I really dont have a preference, just want to go where money is.
In other words, what can i major in that doesnt eat my soul and can make me a decent amount of money after grad, plus something i can build up on so i could earn more in the future.
Thanks.

Title,
Im almost done with highschool, i dont know what i want to do in college, i like computers and coding and that cyberstuff, but my main goal is to make a shitload of money when im done with college.

Give me some idead about stuff i can major in and get a decent life after graduation. It doesnt have to be computers or coding, just want to get a general idea

Im trying to get on a bulk, my calorie intake is not that big, about 3200. But i cannot physically eat that much in a day, plus 8hrs of school 5 days a week.
I live in a place where all kinds of food are limited.
And due to my high cholesterol i have to limit my protein intake to chicke, very lean ground beef, tuna, and sardines and possibly 3 eggs per week. I have to cook the meats and chicken in a strict way, i cant do like alfredo chicken pasta or high cholesterol foods so they tend to taste bland and boring and its pretty boring after a while.

People say protein powder is bad. My parents do not have an issue with me buying protein powder. But i did some research about it having lead content and all the other bad things. So im asking you guys, should i buy one? And if so, what brand is great?

Thanks.

My maintnance is about 2800 so im guessing 3100 3200 is the sweet spot.
When i come to log my food i get stuck on how to count the calories😭 like idk how many grams of protein ts has
How do you put in your calories guys
Thanks.

Basically everything in the Title (What’s the best (free) ai that gives an okay bulking plan based on my suggestions?) + i know that this use of AI is not really optimal but i cannot afford a nutrionist at the moment. Thanks.

Very recently i started going to muay thai sessions, today was my third.
I know that its super early for me to say this but.
Im very skinny and overall at the low end of my bmi, i eat healthy, just not enough to accomodate for my calorie burning.
I started tracking my calories and eating well just today in hopes that with training ill get a stronger and more resilient body. But im reall scared of rib shots and potentially injuring myself while sparring. So how can i train myself to take shots to the ribs with minimal damage plus is it possible to condition that area?

Its my third day today.

Title + i really looked dumb and basically took many hits and didnt know how to defend myself or even try and get offensive. Looks like coach doesnt really give a damn about whats going on but the people there are really nice.

Anyways, is there any type of drill i can do at home to get my speed up and get my techniques right? Coz i cannot even hit a normal jab or cross or any of those basic moves

before i start, i tried many sites and they all ranged from 2600 to 3200 calories which is why I’m here.
Im underweight, no im not malnourished, on the days where i “dont eat well” i eat 3 meals but im super active and have a super fast metabolism.
I needed to gain some weight and get stronger so i thought i should go to the gym to start bulking. I didnt see the progress that i wanted to see and i believe its due to the following reasons:
The road from my home to the gym is 1.2miles or 2km so 2.4 2.5 miles total and thats five days a week.
I also do boxing 3 times a week which involves cardio and calories burning like jump rope etc..
Combine that with my metabolism and diet. I think its safe to say that im not eating well.
So, a question to you guys, what should be my daily calorie intake if i want to go on a bulk and actually gain muscle mass?

**Stats so you dont have to read again**

**18, 5’5, 103lbs super active throught the week accompanied with a fast metabolism.**

Sorry for the long post

Im probably gonna be posting a whole lot on here for the first few weeks.
Yesterday was my first session in muay thai, i really enjoyed it. People were nice and were taking it easy with me. But i truly felt so dumb, i have no prior experience in any martial art and ive never gotten in a fight so yesterday was my first ever punch and let me tell you it was horrid. The best thing i did were pushups and sit ups, kicks were wobbly, punches were super weird etc…
Anyways we were taught a super easy combo that i failed in way more than i shouldve. I stayed out in sparring because i didnt feel like i was ready and didnt want to throw random moves.

So, for the people who went through this, what did you do?

Hello, i’m thinking of signing up to a muay thai gym, im really excited but there are a few things holding me back.

First of all my height, im 5’5
Second my weight, im underweight,
Third and this scares me most, I have some neck and lower back pain, due to incredibly stiff muscles. Im scared that a wrong move might worsen my situation or maybe during sparring etc..
Lastly, i look at the stance of people who practice muay thai and i see that insanely bad posture, hollow body, rounded shoulders and stuff like that. And honestly i worry that this posture would become permanent.

It would be of great help if someone could give me some insight on all the things im worrying about because im sick of being weak and will do anything to get stronger.

Edit 1: Thank you guys for reassuring me, i decided to give it a try today. Will update soon.

Does anyone have a PDF copy of said title? thanks.

The title sums up the story.

About three years ago i happened to meet this girl after moving to a new school. She was easily the prettiest person ive ever layed my eyes on, she was friends with a my closest friend at that point. She got my number and we started texting a whole lot for a few weeks, i was already head over heels for her before we even met but didn’t say a thing about it.
Anyways, as we were talking i felt like i was going to explode if i don’t tell her about my feelings for her and so i did, surprisingly, she said that she felt the same way. That day right there flipped my life upside down. As you can guess we started dating immediately, i joined a private tutor which she and my friend from above used to go to at that time. Why? So i could spend time with her ofcourse, i didnt really need a tutor as im doing well on my own.
Things were going amazing. We were having fun and talking and doing all the stuff dumb teens do. Unfortunately, i started to realize that she was also having a thing with that exact same guy, i was like okay, they are friends im not gonna say anything about it. But the way they acted screamed everything other than just friends. Hugs and holding hands texting kissing all that stuff which made my blood boil. I know, i shouldve called it quits by then as i tried telling her that im not really okay with the stuff that are happening but it seemed to have made them even closer together. This lasted for about another month until i cried myself to sleep and ended it the next day.
I was down and felt upset for many days, i got a bit better after i started going to the gym and enjoying working out. But every time i saw them together it was like a stab to the heart, a girl i thought shared the same feeling, and my closest friend, both making me look like a clown for two months. Their relationship kept on going up and down and she kept on switching guys in that period. Fast forward 3 years, her and my friend have just recently made up and I have not, not even for a single day forgot about her. I look her up everyday, i try to press that unblock button but i hold myself back. After all that she did to me, making me look like a fool, i think that id fall again if she looked in my direction.
A few weeks a ago i heard that my friend was going to ask her out to prom. It felt like an actual stab although after they way ive been treated my reaction should be to laugh or not even care.
Since then i decided to just turn myself off and just become like david goggins, this might sound funny but i really am giving up on myself.
