Hello everyone,

I never thought I’d open up like this on a forum, but lately I’ve been feeling really lost and miserable.

I just turned 18. I’ve been living in Belgium since I was 8, but I’m originally from Romania. I started lifting when I was 13 watching YouTube videos and doing exercises with the dumbbells I had at home. In 2022, I… Read more

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to better bias my quads on the leg press and would love to hear your preferences. I’ve attached two pictures showing slightly different setups. I’d really appreciate your input on which one you find more effective for quad focus.

Thanks in advance!

Hi team,

I’m 17 years old (turning 18 soon), training natural, and I’ve been lifting seriously for a few years now.

I’m currently on a body recomposition phase after a 16-week deficit. I peaked at 107kg during my bulk and I’m now down to 87kg, leaner and tighter. I did 11 weeks of a mini-cut and now I’m in week 5 of the recomp phase. ( week… Read more

Hey guys,

I’m 85kg lean, 180cm, been seeing a lot of different glutamine and creatine dosages lately and wanted to ask:
• For glutamine, is 10g fasted, 5g pre-workout, and 5g before bed a good daily split?
• For creatine, what do you think about 5g in the morning and 5g intra-workout?

Would love to hear what’s worked for you in terms of… Read more

Age 17, 88kg at 181cm, natural

Just for context — I’ve been in a deficit for a while. I’ve done an 11-week mini cut during which I dropped from 108kg to 88kg (so 20kg lost). Since then, I’ve changed coaches and we’re still running a slight deficit, not aggressive, just enough to tighten things up a bit more before we go into a gaining phase —… Read more

Hi everyone, I want to share something personal that happened to me recently.

I’m 17 years old and I live the bodybuilding lifestyle every single day — early morning cardio, intense training, strict diet, everything planned and structured. I’m the kind of person who plans every meal in advance and always knows what’s coming next.

But this… Read more

Hey guys, this is my training split from my coach. I’d really appreciate your feedback — do you think the volume is appropriate? Are there too many sets or drop sets? I’m a bit unsure about it, so if you could take a look and share your thoughts, that would be great. Thanks in advance! ( the order is… Read more
