Woah you look so cool! Do you have any tips on weightlifting?

Why thank you! ;w; As for tips for weightlifting?

Hmm. I'm gonna limit myself to 5 just so I don't yammer your ears off! So my top three tips for weightlifting:

-Focus on form over heavy weights. It's true you gotta lift heavy to get stronger, but having good form is what's gonna allow you to lift heavy with max efficiency WITHOUT hurting yourself. Ego-lifting is the quickest way to destroying your gains. Do what you can, and not what you think you should.

-Establish a routine. This is easily the biggest gamechanger for me: I stopped guessing and winging it. I recommend choosing a workout split of your liking (example: Fullbody, PPL, Upper/Lower), the number of days you're going (and what those days are), choosing your workouts for each day beforehand, and keeping a lil log book so you can keep track of your sets, reps, and weights you used during each workout. Stick to that training block for at least 5-8 weeks and see how it works for you.

-Don't forget to REST. Your muscles don't build when you're at the gym, they build when you rest. You need to allow adequate time for rest, which includes managing stress levels and getting enough sleep every night. You gotta allow yourself some reprieve, so don't be afraid to allow it.

-Time your rest intervals after each set. Instead of just going about your time, give yourself a timer for your lifts so you can be more efficient. Gym is great, but you don't wanna be in there all day! Rest as long as you need to, but a rough baseline of times are as follows:

For isolated lifts (ex: Bicep curls, leg extensions): 1-2 minutes

Compound lifts (ex: Bench, Squat, Deadlift): 3-5 minutes

and finally:

-Lift close to failure. And I mean legitimate failure. Not when the discomfort (not pain, discomfort. If you feel pain, stop) kicks in, I mean you can't physically lift the weight sort of failure. Don't do it all the time; you can get good gains from lifting 2-3 reps in the tank, but in order to know that, you gotta lift hard to know where your true failure is. Ask for a spot for when you wanna try your limits for safety, but if you don't want to do that, a good baseline is this: if you aren't making a stupid face, or involuntarily grunting, or thinking in your head "BRUHHHHHHHH" you probably aren't lifting heavy enough. If your reps look exactly the same throughout all three sets without slowing down once, you probably aren't lifting heavy enough. I will reiterate to first get your form down pat before doing this, but once you're comfortable in the lift? It's game time.

------

I hope this helps some! Get them gains, bro >:)

[zorilleerrant]

Alright. Okay. Imagine that you're using a workout app. It logs how much weight you're lifting per day. A lot of your friends use this app; a lot of people generally use this app. It's fun.

Now some people have started getting mad about this whole Lift For Hire business where people hire people to lift weights for them. It's not about the app, of course, it's just a general thing in the entire weightlifting community.

Now, of course, most people aren't doing this. A couple people have hired this team in order to boost stats and talk about how great they are and claimed to be fitfluencers, but most people don't listen to them. More people are hiring them to lift weights just because they think it's sexy to watch, and there are of course arguments about union protections to be made, but even so, it's not that many people doing this altogether.

Then people on the app start screaming about how people might start paying the Lift For Hire people in order to fake their data. And longtime users are saying, well, why would you do that? You could just put in random numbers and claim that's what you did. There's nothing recording you or anything. In fact, there's a long history of how to fake workouts and put in numbers than inflate what you're doing to make you look good.

But people won't stop making this the entire conversation, getting in the way of anyone's training regimen or even the social conversations they have on the app. So the app says, fuck it, that's allowed now, so everyone can finally shut up.

And then everyone claims that the app is trying to force you not to do your workouts and pay other people to do them instead, causing a breakdown in the entire weightlifting community.

[cator99]

woah ur selfies….how did u get into lifting/what routine to get those gains?

My beloved friends have time and time again threatened to put me in a burlap sack filled with rocks and toss me into lake michigan - my only hope was to become as large as humanly possible as to avoid fitting in such a small sack, or strong enough to simply break my way out, if they manage to find a large enough sack. On the rare occasions where they felt it necessary for their threats to escalate into action, their plans have been mostly diverted by the precautions I've taken by getting into weightlifting, however, sometimes when I least suspect it, they still try to snatch me up- leaving a trail of protein bars that leads directly into a gigantic suitcase thats springloaded to respond to my weight and will snap shut upon sensing me having climbed inside. Well. Sometimes I let them do it, not only because I pity their feeble size, but because their efforts mean so much to me. They OH MY GOD my housemate will not shut up and let me finish this he keeps walking in and guffawing about some bullshit he has seen on reddit, "ohhh isnt it just absurd? Arent people annoying? What is the world cominggg tooooouhhh" LOG OFF Idiot the world is full of splendor and love. If you are looking. Are you looking? Start looking. I've found it. In my free time, I practice ripping open increasingly tough fabrics and burlap sacks. I pry open polyurethane glue sealed suitcases with my bare hands from the inside. Because I believe in the power of love. If they toss me in that lake I will not only make my way out but come back grinning and exclaiming yippee that was so much fun lets do it again ! :)

Bit wobbly on a rep or two but otherwise these 225 lbs are moving easier nowadays!

Vers' Health Journal Day 1

I am gonna see if I can train myself into any kind of media consistency by logging my efforts at getting Super Fit and Comfortable with my body every day!

Goals I'm trying to meet:

Workout 2x a day as much as I can; weightlifting in the morning and a short abs/full body circuit workout and cardio in the evening

Intuitive Eating (I'll include pictures of whatever meals I remember to photograph each day)

Try to stop eating after 7pm or so, and begin eating the next day around 6:30am. This will help me get my circadian rhythm back on track.

Build enough muscle to carry my own bodyweight

Getting visibly toned is the last on my priority list; It would be nice but I'm trying not to focus on it too much

Day 1: We're starting off strong because I am at home for Easter break, so I currently don't have access to a gym. However, this is my first day of intuitive eating! I had a leftover greek goddess salad from panera and some homemade bread for my first meal, and then a few hours later I got hungry again and had some prunes and half a bagel (and then went back and got the other half)

Rating Floor Workout Tiktoks/Reels/Pins

Since I'm home, I've decided to take this time and find a new floor workout before I head back to college from all the ones social media keeps recommending me, so I'm going to write up how it went for me and notes I had here.

The first one is a workout targeting obliques by j.workouts on tiktok. It's about 15 minutes altogether, including side crunches, knee to elbows, russian twists, plank knee in twist, plank rotations, plank knee ins, bicycles, and heel touches. Keep in mind I'm probably intermediate in core strength.

Coordination: I found a few of these hard to figure out and make sure I was using the muscles I was supposed to, mostly the bicycle variation and knee-elbow crunches.

Difficulty: Once I figured out once the movements were, I did feel that I was working out my obliques pretty well, but I didn't feel a huge burn at any point in the workout. That said, it did get me sweating, so kudos for that!

Favorite exercise: I liked the plank rotations best- I could definitely feel the muscles being worked, and keeping myself stabilized was a good challenge, and my shoulders also felt the burn while I was moving.

Least favorite exercise: This is a me thing, but I just hate russian twists. They're so effective! And I do not like them.

Rating: 3.5/5. I think if I was a beginner the coordination still would've posed a challenge, but if you can get all of the exercises down all of the exercises work the muscle effectively! I also think the order they put the exercises in was decent for a beginner; start off moderate, work your way up, then cool off with the heel touches at the end of each set.

Alright if you read this far down, I appreciate it haha!

I'm gonna go on a walk now

[meticulous-tendencies]

back on my shit let’s goooooooo

[holmoris]

As an ex-animator i want to point out that slowmo videos of people doing log carries and such from the highland games are one of the only actual good references for people manipulating heavy objects in a non-weightlifting context. Even if the character is supposed to be obscenely strong (Kratos in GOW:R specifically comes to mind during the bit where you have to carry crystals around) you still gotta be careful with momentum breaking the illusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will weightlifting make women bulky? No. Women naturally have lower testosterone levels, making it difficult to build substantial muscle mass. Building a “bulky” appearance requires specific training, nutrition, and often supplementation.

2. How often should I train each muscle group? Each major muscle group should be trained 2–3 times per week with adequate rest between sessions. This frequency optimizes muscle growth and recovery.

3. What should I eat to build muscle? Focus on lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs), complex carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, oats), healthy fats (avocados, nuts), and plenty of vegetables. Maintain a slight caloric surplus with adequate protein.

4. How long until I see results? Initial strength gains appear within 4–6 weeks. Visible muscle development typically takes 8–12 weeks of consistent training and proper nutrition.

5. Should I do cardio while bodybuilding? Yes, but moderately. Include 2–3 sessions of 20–30 minutes of low-intensity cardio weekly for heart health and recovery. Excessive cardio can impede muscle growth.

6. What’s the best age to start bodybuilding? You can start resistance training at any age with proper form and guidance. Many women begin in their 20s-30s, but it’s never too late to start.

7. How do I prevent injury? - Learn proper form - Progress gradually - Warm up adequately - Listen to your body - Include recovery days - Stay hydrated

8. Should I train during my menstrual cycle? Yes, but adjust intensity based on how you feel. Some women perform better during certain phases of their cycle. Track your energy levels and adjust accordingly.

9. What’s the difference between bodybuilding and general weight training? Bodybuilding focuses specifically on muscle development and aesthetics, with structured nutrition and specific training protocols. General weight training may have different goals like strength or fitness.

10. Do I need a personal trainer? While not mandatory, a qualified trainer can be beneficial for learning proper form, developing appropriate programs, and staying accountable, especially when starting.

Competition Guidelines

Categories - Bikini - Figure - Physique - Bodybuilding

Preparation Timeline - Contest prep: 12–16 weeks - Peak week protocols - Stage presentation - Posing practice

day 1

last time i ate was 8pm yesterday. ill fast until 2pm today. i think that's 16 hours. redownloaded all the apps to count. im gonna try to take out my stress through exercise instead of eating.

thinspo was me at my lw. i think i was 115 at the time.

looking at my old snapchat memories, i'm noticing that i do this whenever things get bad in my relationship. 2 days ago was the worst it got i think. at least i hope it was the worst itll ever be. idk what would be worse than what happened.

anyway, itll be hard for me to actually reach the weight i need to get to because ive put on muscle also, which weighs more. oh well. i'll try to let it atrophy as much as i can so i can build it better on my ass. i will admit that i don't mind my thighs being thicker. idk. between flat stomach and thigh gap, i prefer a waist.

all my work is sedentary so i have to actually put in some fucking effort now. take the longer paths, take the stairs. i also need to cut back on sugar, which is gonna suck the most because i have such a sweet tooth.

-

Food log:

breakfast - had a cup of coffee. cold brew, unsweetend. prob 10-15 cal

lunch - 3.5 oz of orange chicken, 210 cal.

exercise - danced for 30 minutes

dinner - buldak ramen, 470 cal (comfort food :P)

[total calories: 690]

[today's calorie goal: 700]

[calorie limit: 1,083]

success!

-

for future reference to remember what sent me back here:

if you can't act like his dream girl, at least look like it.

maybe he'll give a bigger fuck when you're smaller.

you were prettier before.

you were doing so well and in just two months, you can do it again.

you'll look better in videos and photos. the camera really does add 10 pounds.

-

end of the day thoughts:

stomach was so noisy today, was really embarassing. stopped myself from getting a donut and a sweet treat to end my meals today! very proud of myself. started getting really weak already. idk how i'm gonna survive weightlifting tomorrow but oh well.i must push through. i'm going to be slim thicc hehehe.

man... i hope the dining hall gets donuts when i'm on my metab day. they're really good with the desserts.

ok, time to go to bed and get some sleep. day 1 was a great success! i can rest happy with that.

plssss fasting insomia, don't come for me tonight.
