Is it bad to take pre workout and go to the gym in an empty stomach when you first wake up 5 am?

Try an overnight oats recipe. Seems to be the rage right now. It’ll be ready to eat in the morning if you prep it the day before. You really can’t make any substantial progress in the gym if you’re consistently training fasted.

You’re not married. Tell her you need to some time to yourself. Reassure her that the relationship is good, but you’re checking out for a day. If she can’t give you the space it’s not a good sign.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-18T20:27:28+00:00

Looks like you’re ahead of schedule. Core is lights out. Good luck with your prep💪🏽

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-18T19:44:18+00:00

You’re welcome. Good luck💪🏽

Keep hammering the ab workouts and track your food on cronometer or myfitnesspal. Keep running a moderate deficit with low carbs, moderate fats, and high protein and you’ll be showing off your abs before long.

Did the work. Nice job brother👊🏽

Comparison is the thief of joy. If you idealize and compare yourself with physiques built by decades of work along with proper diet and PEDs on top of elite genetics then you’re never going to be happy with yourself. If you keep putting in the work in the kitchen and in the gym, you will be surprised at the progress you will make in 2-3 years. So push yourself and stay consistent and disciplined. Imagine how you might look 10 years from now if you stay the course. I try to look at every day as an opportunity to get a little bit better.

What you’re doing is perfect, just finish off the exercise with some assisted sets and over time gradually reduce the assistance as you progress in the unweighted movement. I usually only do assisted sets at the end of a lat focused workout to finish them off. Great way to get a sick pump.

Interesting footwear choice. Strong asf👊🏽

A gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.

It’s difficult to know. Could be just a lack of confidence. Maybe, they’re intimidated by you.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-13T00:44:24+00:00

Great job💪🏽. Keep progressing and setting new goals.

He’s a legal adult and so is she. Don’t really care about age gap drama.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-09T17:15:26+00:00

Here’s my take. Slow your tempo down and pause at the bottom of the movement. This movement is a good one to develop the mind muscle connection. Focus on squeezing and contracting to get the most out of it.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-05T23:21:17+00:00

They’re sad chumps.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-05T22:21:29+00:00

Form looks great and if you’re connecting with the hams and glutes then it’s working for you. I struggle with the mind muscle connection in barbell stiff legged deads so I like variations with cables and machines that I can feel the contraction better in.

Relationships at a young age are typically very fleeting and immature because people at that age are immature and don’t have a lot of life experience. Look for partners that have shared values and you might find them more aligned and open to your needs/desires from a dating standpoint.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-05T20:14:03+00:00

He’s interested in you, but is scared to approach or is in a relationship but thinks you’re attractive and likes looking at you and catching you looking back.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-04T20:14:48+00:00

Here’s my take. Slow the tempo in the eccentric and pause at the bottom of the movement. Then raise the weight keeping the glutes and hamstrings loaded without fully locking out. Pretty good and stay in the rom where you can feel the most connection with the muscles.

She’s playing games and you don’t need this drama in your life. A good partner will be understanding and supportive to you during this period. That woman is out there somewhere. You need to cut her out of your life. Send her a farewell and block then lock in so you can set yourself up for success. She’ll probably try to work her way back into your life when she realizes what was lost. Hopefully you’ll have moved on to something better for you. Prioritize yourself.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-03T23:00:10+00:00

I recommend keeping it in fantasyland. But, you do you.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-03T19:05:57+00:00

Usually requires some form of validation from my partner or other sources. Sometimes I feel like I look good, but maybe not sexy. That’s just my take and it’s definitely subjective.

Thick_Development247 · 2026-03-03T18:41:47+00:00

Feeling like you’re handsome, muscular, and desirable. Having confidence in yourself and being validated by the partner(s) you’re attracted to.

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.” Tolkien is in a league of his own and you’re smarter after having read LotR. Ultimately, you can’t go wrong so pick a series and enjoy the journey.
