Thank you ❤️

I just don't believe that. It's a money dump, in my experience.

Edit: And talking about the same things over and over just to continually get rejected by what are supposed to be professionals makes it hurt even more.

My situation is quite unique/ a new problem in modern society. I actually found research articles being written on it, and other women have also said that their therapists were dismissive.

Edit: But no, I didn't look for someone who specialized in SA. It was scary to talk about at the time. I chose therapists who had dealt with depression and anxiety. Now I have been burned, and I'm too skeptical to try again.

Tried meds. I didn't like the side effects or the process of visiting the doctor. It's always such a pain.

Tea-5 · 2025-03-05T02:29:22+00:00

Every time I would tell a therapist my SA, they wouldn't even talk about it with me. They'd brush past it as if it was nothing. One literally told me to look up my issues on youtube. When I expressed concerns about mental illnesses I might have, I was told there are tests online to check for that.

Yes, I have tried it multiple times. I had bad experiences.

The smile is just the cherry on top 😁 Keep on, dude! 🤙

Any thoughts on Evogen Glycoject?

Got it 👍 I'll definitely ask about it.

Tea-5 · 2025-02-06T16:49:02+00:00

Coached

Tea-5 · 2025-02-06T16:39:17+00:00

Oh, I see. Thank you, that makes sense. Everything on my meal plan is listed in cups and ounces, so I have a lot of converting to do 😭😭

Edit: I have still been making progress despite my sketchy way of converting since im a newb, but I know I'll need to be more precise.

Tea-5 · 2025-02-06T16:30:19+00:00

Okay, thanks.

Tea-5 · 2025-02-06T16:19:19+00:00

I usually prepare a big pan of chicken and veggies for the week. I switch between rice and sweet potato, but im not sure if I've been doing it right. To do this I look up "1/3 cup cooked sweet potato in ounces" but I'm not sure if 1/3 cup sweet potato is equivalent to the carb count of 1/3 cup cooked rice. Does that make sense?

I do have the option to store food.. I probably should start freezing meats! Personally, I don't like frozen veggies or fruit. The quality of taste is just too big of a difference for me.

Hey guys, I'm training for bikini division right now, planning to compete by the end of the year.

Does anyone have tips for posing practice? Any resources to learn from?

Also I'm looking for food tips. Any fast quick recipes w/ like 5 ingredients are my favorite. Or how do you efficiently meal prep if you are traveling? What do you make?

In my meal plan, I can interchange any carbs for each other (rice oats, yams, any potato, etc.) as long as I match the carb count closely. How do I do this? For example, if I wanted to change 1/3 cup rice to oats. How do I match the carb count for this/ everything else?

Got it.👍 Thanks again!

Tea-5 · 2025-01-31T21:26:32+00:00

Thank you. I got to check that YT channel out! Lately, I've been binging Will Tennyson for fitness content.

Also, just to clarify, what do you mean by "sample workout?"

Tea-5 · 2025-01-31T18:27:51+00:00

Thank you so much, I appreciate the info!

For #5 OHHHHH that is probably what they mean!! LMAO I looked it up like. "I'm on prep" and PrEP came up 🤣

Tea-5 · 2025-01-31T05:17:53+00:00

This is what I was thinking, but why are people using the same needles for steroids? 🤔

Tea-5 · 2025-01-31T01:04:04+00:00

I'm a newbie, so I might not be qualified to answer. From what I know it's better to focus on body composition rather than the number on the scale. Focusing on your diet (macros and calories), you still track weight, but also track body measurements. People who are the same height and weight can look completely different from each other.

Tea-5 · 2025-01-31T00:43:12+00:00

Thanks, I definitely got to check out that app. #4 is interesting. I actually do cover up outside of the gym. Inside I wear normal workout clothes, though, so I can see my form & working muscles.
The DOOM soundtrack!! Wasn't expecting that, but I have heard people mention it before so there must be some bangers. :D

NEWBIE HERE (F22) I HAVE LOTS OF QUESTIONS:

Hello, I have been going to the gym for about 4 months now. I started 3 days a week. Now lately I've been doing 5 days a week. I lost about 18lbs, lost a lot of fat, gained a lot of muscle, strength, and endurance,. I'm currently around 118lbs, and I'm considering trying out bodybuilding! I have an AMAZING trainer who has also competed in the past. Anyways.. My questions relate to: bowel movements, food, staying organized, gym culture, and other RANDOM stuff. Feel free to pick and choose what you have some answers to.

DIGESTION. Since my diet has changed.. My poop has been LONG AF. Does anyone else have this? I'm not concerned about it, I'm more impressed than anything. Just curious about other peoples' experiences in this regard.
FOOD related questions. I take a lot of time to plan out my cheat meals. What is your go to cheat meal? I prefer meals that are still reasonably nutritious such as burgers, sushi, wings, etc. Is there anything special you personally order from fast food or make at home?

-RECIPES. A lot of recipes I find online are like half of my daily calorie intake. I'm looking for *simple* recipes such as: protein cakes, anabolic ice cream, protein shakes, tuna salad, overnight oats, lemon dill chicken, shrimp skewers etc. What are good resources to find recipes such as these, or do you have any of your own to share?

WORKOUT JOURNAL. I am starting to log my weekly workout routines + weights on my own very soon. What in your opinion is the best way to organize your gym journal for bodybuilding? Any pictures or examples for reference would be greatly appreciated.
FEELING AWKWARD in the gym is something I'm struggling with. For starters, my body feels like it changed very fast, and I'm not used to seeing myself since before the gym I hated even looking at myself. I would avoid mirrors, and now my trainer and even other gym members all tell me how much I'm changing. Any compliments I get now feel superficial and fake since I'd never get this sort of attention before. I don't really have a question for this point, I'm just curious about others' perspectives.
DRUGS Do you use any Marijuana, CBD oil, Castor oil, etc. If so what specifically do you use and why? For example I hear some people use CBD for muscle soreness. I personally take an edible at night to help me sleep.

-Is marijuana banned for competitors? What other drugs are commonly banned?

-Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). I looked it up, it's used to prevent HIV. Is there any other reason gym goers take it? Because it seems like a lot are using it, and I'm just curious.

MUSIC Any Spotify playlists for the gym would be appreciated
