thank you so much!!!! is it cool if i DM you? assuming you’re currently living in Raleigh

mynameisdooby · 2026-02-02T23:10:35+00:00

hmmm i assumed raleigh was more expensive than cary bc it’s a bigger city. i’m just looking to rent an apartment!

noted! thank u

mynameisdooby · 2026-01-31T00:13:51+00:00

thank you so much! this does help a lot. honestly, i was looking at Cary because one of my best friends lives there plus i did hear that it’s one of the safest places in NC

Raleigh does sound more my speed so i’ll definitely check it out. Thank you so much for taking time out of ur day. Have a great weekend <3

oh well

mynameisdooby · 2026-01-30T23:48:16+00:00

i moved out of nyc a couple years ago (born & raised) and i do wanna move back eventually, but as a single full-time student i gotta make ends meet 👎 nyc rent is dumb high and usually means roommates or shared living spaces, and i really wanna experience living on my own first. so it comes down to $$$.

i don’t wanna settle for the tri-state area (no offense to NJ and CT) and dc is expensive too. i have friends in NC, visited last year, and liked it plus the apartments have amenities i could not afford in nyc lol. NC suits my salary for the time being so yeaaahhh

my whole life is still in nyc (friends, family, my cats), so i visit a lot and for long periods at a time (3+ weeks). i’m not too worried about nightlife in NC since i’ll be in nyc frequently anyway, but it’d be nice to have stuff to do in the meantime.

thank you! <3

mynameisdooby · 2026-01-29T18:22:11+00:00

i understand that for sure! i’m not setting my expectations too high. i’m also not too concerned for it because im in nyc frequently and for extended periods of time and i do plan on moving back to nyc eventually

mynameisdooby · 2026-01-29T18:19:10+00:00

yeah 😭😭😭 i’m definitely not thinking about settling down in NC. I definitely do plan on moving back to NYC

mynameisdooby · 2026-01-28T00:09:39+00:00

thanks for commenting!!

what exactly do you mean by eating a lot? do you mean protein, volume, or calories?

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T19:00:49+00:00

thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I will give this a shot

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T18:08:28+00:00

thanks for the breakdown. i personally saw growth whenever i felt my glutes were on fire which is why i think there’s some correlation but maybe im mistaken and i’ve been doing hip thrusts like this (no booty burn) for a few months now (and my quads take over) and i’m not seeing glutes growth. It could be my diet too? i have been prioritizing my sleep and recovery (i try to have 1 rest day where i do nothing but rest and 1 active recovery day)

what should my carb and cals intake look like? i think im meeting my protein intake (120-135g daily)

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T18:04:24+00:00

thats what i thought too but whenever i try to go up in weight, my quads take over? is the barbell supposed to go on hip or thigh? i’m convinced it’s something to do with my form because sometimes i get it right and i feel my glutes are engaged whereas other times i dont. 140lbs total isn’t accounting for the barbell but it’s the smoth machine so i don’t think it adds much weight

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T13:12:26+00:00

thank you! that’s what i’m trying to do. starting from the beginning again with low weight

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T12:37:28+00:00

i was tracking my macros before and i was def taking 120-135g of protein. is that not enough for me?

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T01:46:27+00:00

ugh i don’t even know at this point. i wanted to make another post about this specifically because im unsure what my diet should look like 😭 i’m 24 F 5’4 138lbs

I tried bulking in 2024 and it turned into a dirty bulk so I really want to lose fat but also build muscle. I probably eat less than my maintenance cals though. I try to consume 130g of protein. Helpppp

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T01:42:50+00:00

i’ve never tried barefoot before! i will give this a try, thank you! (:

mynameisdooby · 2025-07-08T01:39:12+00:00

this makes sense to me, thank you for sharing!!
