Anyone successful with not tracking workouts?
Hi all, I am an intermediate-advanced bodybuilder (just for myself, don't compete) and have been tracking my workouts and food for years. While I enjoy food tracking in a weird way, I feel like tracking my workouts takes the joy and natural flow out of it, having to turn back the pages to find last week's reps/sets, etc. I…

How can I add intensity to at-home lifting?
Hello. I have been lifting since January of this year. I started off at 20lbs on my hip thrust. Now I'm at 85lbs. I have maxed out of the weights available to me.

So I just had a general question here, I’m not asking what anybody takes nor do I care it’s your body you do what you choose. I know we are what we put in our bodies but with that being said how many people here are on some kind of Hgh or SARM?

Weightlifting straps
Hey, a rather specific favour to ask... Would anybody be so kind as to post a POV video putting on single loop weightlifting straps if that's a thing you can do here?
