Help with deficit

I’m 6’2 242 and I’ve been eating 180g protein minimum daily and 2500 calories. I get 10k steps in a day and heavy strength training 5 times a week. I’ve been stuck at 242 for about a week in a half now but 2500 calories is already pretty extreme deficit atleast that’s what calorie calculations say.

Should I lower my calories if so how many?

Small chest - Should I stop working delts ?

Hello guys,

I’ve been working out for about a year and a half , I’ve made some progress on my chest but it’s by far the body part that grow the least

I am wondering if my delts are not taking over even tho I focus on proper form over weight, always keep scapulas retracted etc

This is what I look like after waking up no pump natural lightening

Training is upper/lower starting always fresh with incline smith and pec deck later on on the workout , delts are always performed in the midlle/end of the workout (seated machine military press/cable lateral raises/ reverse pec deck)

what am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone,

I’m 20 years old, 183 cm, currently 84 kg. I’ve been training for about a year, but to be honest I wasn’t consistent for a big part of it and kept changing my goals.

My main goal with the gym is to build muscle and have a clearly visible, aesthetic physique.

I started at 93 kg, so I’ve lost around 9 kg. Over the last few months, I’ve been consistent and actually committed to a proper cut. I did lose weight, but I’m not seeing much muscle development visually. At the same time, my strength is going up and I’m progressing in reps and weights across most exercises.

I train 4 days a week, don’t do any cardio, and average at least 5k steps daily. I’m eating around 2000 calories with ~150g protein, ~230g carbs, and fats are usually low (around 30g).

I’m a bit stuck and not sure what to do next — should I keep cutting or move to maintenance? And is 2000 calories even appropriate for a cut in my situation?

It just feels like I’ve been spinning my wheels for a while now.

Scared to bulk

Scared to bulk

Been working out every single day for almost a year now, started out fat (prolly around 210) now 149lbs, visible abs good amount of muscle all kinds of veins. All I want to do is get bigger and I know I’ll have to put on some weight eventually but I’m lowk scared straight up.

I don’t want to get fat again, or put on more fat than I need to, I can eat forever. Ever since I started I’ve tracked every single calorie (along from some weekends and holidays) I really love this shi. I know I’ll be making gains either way but mentally it’s kind of hard to want to put on more weight after only ever wanting to lose more weight my whole life.

Is diet more important than training for results?

People always say “you can’t out-train a bad diet,” but how true is that really?
If you had to prioritize one - strict diet or perfect training - which would have the bigger impact?

Can somebody tell me what my issue is?

So I have TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome) in my left arm (the right side in the picture) and have been trying to get everything worked out for a while now. I clearly have something wrong. Idk if it’s just a really bad back muscle imbalance like scapula possibly, or if I have scoliosis (which I hope so badly that I don’t). Could anyone tell me what the primary issue is from the pictures I have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am DESPERATE.

I’m trying to stop being someone who starts over all the time

I’ve noticed a pattern I don’t really like about myself. I’m always starting over. New week, new plan, new attempt… and it keeps repeating.

At this point, it doesn’t even feel like progress anymore. It just feels like I’m stuck in a loop of resets. I think the real issue is I’ve kind of built my identity around being someone who starts, not someone who finishes.

Now I’m trying to shift that. Even if it’s small progress, I want to stop treating every slip as a full reset. Lately I’ve been thinking I probably need more structure around me so I don’t keep defaulting back to zero every time things slip. Came across CoreAgeRx while reading into this kind of pattern.

Has anyone else felt like they’re stuck in “restart mode” for too long?

The best exercises to build your glutes.

I'm a personal trainer, and many people come to the gym without realizing that the glutes are made up of several muscles. So, they usually just focus on one muscle and don't see results. This is because they genuinely don't understand the importance of differentiating between the various muscles.

Don't train your glutes blindly. Always keep in mind that each part of the glutes is different, and you need to work them all. Look at this image to see how you can get rock-hard glutes.

It's also crucial to monitor your diet, which is why I always recommend the Pontefuerte Protein Tracker app. It provides a comprehensive analysis of your nutritional needs.

I paid for an online fitness guide… and honestly, I don't regret it.

I rarely post here, but hey, maybe this will help someone.

I'd been kind of stuck with my fitness for a while. I went to the gym occasionally, but without any real progress; I was always doing the same things.

At one point, I tried an online guide (it was a paid one, so I wasn't super keen at first).

Honestly, I thought I'd give up after two days, but in the end, I kept going.

It's not magic, but it really helped me structure my workouts. Before, I was just doing whatever without realizing it.

And strangely enough, even without any equipment, I managed to be more consistent than at the gym.

Anyway, I'm not saying it's amazing or that it'll work for everyone, but personally, it really helped me get back into it.

If anyone's interested, I can share what I used.
