New and Nervous
Ok, so after a few months of making excuses why not to start, I'm gonna give this a go. I plan on spending the rest of this week reading up on it, figuring out stuff like what a deadlift is :D and trying to get an idea of form. I'm very weak, so this is definitely needed. I'm worried though. Firstly about going in to the…

BF %/Muscle Mass
Got an analysis done at the gym today to get an idea of my body composition. I've reached my goal weighed (there or there abouts depending on the day!) and want to focus on recomping and looking better. I'm happy with how I look currently, but I'd like to increase muscle. So, the following were the results: Weight: 140.6…

Upping Protein=Upping fat?
Hey everyone. I'm currently doing Stronglifts programme and upping my protein to help. It's a bit of a struggle and I have to work hard to reach my protein target (98g a day).

Help Please
Hey, I posted recently about starting this in the thread 'New and Nervous'. Well I got up the courage and went for it, unfortunately it was a bit of a disaster.

Healthy eating tricks
I'd imagine most of us struggle with cleaning up our diet, I certainly do, and it's a long and slow process. Some people seem to be able to just go clean and that's it, and fair play, but I can't. So I've been working on slowly improving my diet bit by bit so that it's maintainable. I use some tricks to help with this and…

Recommend a Multivitamin
Hi everyone, looking for a good multivitamin. Does it matter? Are they all the same? What should I be looking for? I'm trying to improve my diet but it's slow going. I've been increasing veg intake(which was practically nil) but think I could still do with ensuring I'm getting the vitamins I need. I regularly feel…

Bad week/month, starting again
More of a rant than a question, just wanted to write it all down as motivation to start properly again. Bad week this week, and not great weeks leading up to it. Back from a 3 week holiday last weekend, wasn't too bad during the holiday, but not logging regularly and exercise went out the window a bit. Came back last…
