Like.. Yes I don't need equipment. Many days I make do at home. But I am a powerlifter. My goals are to LIFT heavy and be stronger not just general fitness. While I can do things easily at home, I cannot reach my own personal goals and follow my training plan if I am not at a gym or have access to equipment.

Definitely! I got up at 8 am yesterday and headed straight to the gym :) doing the same tonight after classes for sure.
-
Definitely! I have close friends I would workout with but they're not motivated either!! I try to get my bf to go to the gym with me and he just won't

Thats a good idea!! I agree, I never regret a gym sesh. I always feel great mentally and physically and after I go for about 2-3 days in a week I just want to go more.
-
Yeah, I have a lot of opportunities and programs I can do at home, which I do sometimes. But the problem is I want to get into heavy lifting more plus I only live a 3 minute drive from my gym which is 24 hours...

I already compete in a sport, I'm just trying to get the motivation to do off-season training and powerlift. I don't get into season until March so it isn't very organized as it is, plus I live very far from my campus so I am almost solely on my own right now with training.

That's very smart. Yeah, I'm going into a local gym that my friend works at today to get a job there, but woke up 2 hours before doing that (just woke up) intentionally so I could go to my gym first. I know I don't really have an excuse not to now.

My small wins would be adding weight to my reps, which yknow you can't really do if you don't go to the gym! And that's great I'm so happy for your progress! :)

Yes, technically speaking below 16% is considered unhealthy, whether it be extremely lean or eating disorders. Most competitive physique women drop down to that range, but only stay there for competition and immediately go back up to 16%+. It's incredibly hard and taxing on the female body to have such a low BMI. To see…

19 y/o, 118 lb female The last I checked my 1RM were: Squats 195 lb Bench 100 lb Deadlift 135 lb Front Squat 135 lb Cleans 75 lb Snatch 75 lb I haven't tested in a year, so they're probably different now. Plus that was without training cleans, front squat, and snatch so now that I'm training them, they're probably higher.…

Yeah i definitely ate in sufficient surplus today. Im starting an adjusted program today so i am sure that will be a good start.That is very helpful! Thank you a lot for the resource!

Yeah, I started using MFP because I eat in deficit just out of habit, not even on purpose I just do not feel hungry after about 1400 cals. But I'm building that up rn to surpass my BMR. My workout rn is the program for my sport, so it's 3x lifting at about 60-80% max, and 2x BW/very low weight work. I'm trying to find a…

Yeah I tend to not eat enough, around 1400 cal/day honestly is when I feel "full" but my BMR is about 2100. I've been working on increasing my caloric intake closer to 2100 slowly, while not trying to overwhelm and shock my metabolism. I'm having trouble finding or establishing a good routine though, I have one for my…

Try to gain muscle mass, as well. Combine weight lifting with whole foods and lots of protein and you can gain healthy weight.
