    Trouble Being Consistent with Bulking 16F

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 06:50 PM PDT

    To start off I've been working out 5-6 days a week for about 14 months now and my main focus was strictly to lose fat for the longest time. Around June I learned the importance of getting stronger and gaining muscle too, so I've made a point to emphasize that, but I was having such trouble getting out of the mindset of NEEDING to count my calories and be in a deficit.

    The past 6 weeks I've taken to throwing that mindset out the window by attempting to bulk, but all that restriction is coming to bite me in the ass. I'm now consuming around 3,000 calories a day as compared to 1200-1400. Most of my calories come from eating crap that makes me feel like crap lol. And while I've gone up so much in my lifts in such a short amount of time (for months I could only use 10pound dumbbells and now I'm using at least 30 pounds for anything you can think of. I do 20 on each side for shoulder presses, squat 120 pounds, hip thrust 90 (that's probably not my max, but I'm still trying to figure out what I'm capable of).

    Anyway, the point is I'm mostly binging on sugar while burning anywhere around 800-1000 calories a workout. I'm so scared of gaining back all the fat I've lost and I immediately want to go back into cutting disregarding my plan to "bulk". Any advice?

    Edit: please read my comments before making one yourself that way you understand the situation better.

    What a gym manager should do when people complain about someone's smell?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:17 PM PDT

    My husband is a gym manager/coach. From time to time he has issues with people complaining about someone's smell. So far, he tried to deal with it by talking to offenders in private, but it doesn't always go smoothly. What are your thoughts? What a gym manager should do? Is it appropriate to hang some kind of posters asking to be considerate of others? Yesterday he had a person smelling so bad that others threatened to leave. Thanks!

    Chest sore day after work out but can never feel anything during ?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2020 03:53 AM PDT

    New to working out and I do chest workouts with dumbbells and body weight (only equipment I have) but during the work out I can never feel my chest muscles, my arms get way more tired. However the next day my chest will be sore. Do you think that means my chest is getting a workout and I just don't have that connection yet or they're just not big enough to really feel a pump yet ?

    Upper back tight/sore.

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:40 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    Recently I started getting active again. I've pretty much done zero exercise all lockdown, and have become really lazy.

    I used to play basketball competitively, so I started playing again with some old friends. After the first game, my upper back was so tight and sore, and it hurts/strains whenever I jump or shoot. Even if I breathe in really heavy.

    I used to be really fit, so I was taken by complete surprise when I had a really sore recovery from only one game.

    Does this sound like DOMS, or potentially having no flexibility in my back anymore? I'm just trying to figure out the best way forward, and what I should do to fix it.

    Thanks all.

    Help me with the dilemma

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:08 PM PDT

    I am 5'6" Indian male, 26 years old. I have been obese almost my entire life. My highest was 131 kgs. In May '20 (125 kgs), I started dieting and as of today I am 90.4 kgs.

    My weekly workout is pretty basic. 4-5 days of cycling 15-20kms a day, followed by 1 hour of cardio workout. Recently I have started basic weight training using resistance tubes.

    People have suggested me that in order to gain muscle, I need to up my protein intake. My diet is 1200-1400 cals a day, of which 20-25% is protein as per MyFitnessPal. I consume 2 boiled egg whites, 100 gm chicken breast and 100 gm of cooked lentils for protein.

    Here comes the issue. My uric acid has a tendency to be on the upper limit. My dietitian has suggested not to increase my protein as it will push it off limit.

    What should I do? Any suggestion will be helpful. If you have any particular question, I will answer it in the comments.

    A really noob question

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 11:59 PM PDT

    I have always been in this belief that fitness is about reaching "that" particular level(e.g. summer body, running a marathon etc.) And then chilling off for the rest of eternity.And that's why whenever I started strength training in last year(2 times) I went to a good state of health and somehow dropped out. Is it wrong ? I mean if we aim for a particular fitness, weight, body goal, do we need to be consistent till the day we have that aim or just until reaching that point?

    pressure in upper shin while trying to squat?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:48 PM PDT

    i (22m) can't even go past parallel lol ;____; as i get closer to parallel though, i feel the pressure just below my knees building until i literally just can't go down anymore. for a while i was using a hack squat machine at the gym & i could go down past parallel on that, but then everything shut down & i just got rings to do calisthenics with. i haven't cared much to do legs because i've just naturally had larger legs & calves, but i do miss working my lower body & would like to have that mobility as well. has anyone else had this problem? i looked it up on google but the searches were talking about shin splints but it doesn't really feel like a splint.
