I'm curious to see if anyone truly knows this...
Why do you go to the gym? Want to lose weight or gain muscle. Of course! Now dig deeper. Why do you feel that way? Is it self hate? Insecurity? Help your mental health? Something else? Where did it stem from? Negative self talk? Someone made fun of you? A different alternative? Why do I ask? INTROSPECTION (the deliberate examination of one's own conscious thoughts, feelings, and motives) To me, this is the most important part of anything we do. The WHY. If we don't have a good enough reason, we wouldn't want to do something. Also, if we can improve our behavior (inside and out), we can grow, not only physically, but mentally too. Please answer the questions above honestly and spark discussion with another person. We all likely have something in common, and can definitely help each other out.

I started bc I absolutely hated how I looked, I wasn’t strong and I was easily over 200lbs. I felt like I wasn’t good enough and looking in the mirror was simply just reaffirming my self hateful thoughts. I got into lifting wanting to change and I was nervous because I thought everyone around me would judge and I would just stop trying. My friends were always either faster, stronger, in better shape or all three, and it became a form of jealousy for me. During the journey it has changed a lot, yes I still am not satisfied with how I look but I don’t know I ever will and that’s something that I have to learn during my journey. Through the 5-6 years I’ve been lifting there has been ups and downs but I never regretted starting lifting. The stuff I learned, the memories I’ve made and the progress I never thought was possible made it worth it. Even getting injured with my knee is like getting into lifting for the first time, I get to learn and redo things and progress even more now and I get to learn how much I truly want to get better.

Cutting hacks
What is everyone’s cutting hack? I’m talking something niche and not super normal. It could be some type of food, or workout. I used to wear an actual sweat shirt while doing cardio and having the heater on full heat for 10-20 min.
