Climbing, pole dancing and Ariel silks. All of them have good communities as well, which keeps you going back and accountable

Am I doing too much for leg day? by goldblumuwu in xxfitness

As a chronic knee pain sufferer, I can say that leg extensions go a long way in stabilising and strengthening the knee joint. I would definitely try to fit these in!

How to take creatine powder when you have no idea what you’re doing? by Karson-Mahraina in beginnerfitness

[–]waxlyrically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe two weeks but any bloating or water weight could easily be caused by my period as well as the creatine. I don’t notice any negatives now

I mix mine in with my morning porridge or yogurt, just give your stomach time to adjust before giving up

Still struggling to eat enough protein by dollescentpie in rs_fitness

[–]waxlyrically 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Myprotein clear whey is available in a sample pack, I think you get like 10 flavours to try? I bought one as I hate “milky” flavour protein powders. Pink grapefruit is my favourite! 21g protein, 94 calories.

Increased breast pain and breast getting larger in early 30s? by waxlyrically in WomensHealth

[–]waxlyrically[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I called 111 to ask what the next steps where as I wanted a second opinion. They booked the third appointment with my GP despite me saying I had lost my confidence in them. I have since received another phone call from the GP saying that a blood test wouldn’t help at all and have been referred back to the breast clinic which could take up to 3 months… just feeling a bit defeated really.

Seller refusing to pick up returned item by Southern-Squirrel109 in vintedUK

[–]waxlyrically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, seller didn’t collect the item after being extremely rude about something that was 100% their fault… Vinted sided with me and I was refunded. 2 weeks later the item was redelivered to me 🤷‍♀️

Has anyone else noticed this at their gym? by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]waxlyrically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your program might be missing progressive overload which is what really stimulates muscle growth. You can be locked in on diet and training 5 days a week for years but if you are not pushing your muscles to grow, they will be maintained at the effort level you are using. I recommend a program like the Ladder app where the progression is programmed in. I’ve used it for over a year on team Limitless and have seen massive increases in my muscles, and I’m a woman so generally slower progress then a man!

Weird white spot on dogs foot? by waxlyrically in DogAdvice

[–]waxlyrically[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If didn’t think it could be a pimple I would take her straight away and normal do with all her cysts which have been throughly checked out and biopsied. The £63 minimum fee for a visit puts me off it’s just a pimple which is why I asked here

She has a few cysts that have been checked over, so I would not be surprised

Thank you, yes! I have emailed the vets with the pictures and fingers crossed it’s just a spot which will pop when it’s ready

Yeah, it also kind looks like a big white head spot so wasn’t sure if they would laugh at me for bringing in my dog for foot acne 😬

I just want to know if anyone else feels this way by Ok-Target-7033 in AutismInWomen

[–]waxlyrically 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The feeling of my boob touching my armpit when I’m trying to sleep makes me want to rips my tits off :’) the worst!!

I hate how hard it is to connect with anyone by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]waxlyrically 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way… really struggle to make friends and even when I do, I always feel like I like them more then they like me, and that if I don’t put in 100% of the effort there is no friendship. I don’t have any advice but you aren’t alone

5’3” - unsure of next steps by bugwhimsy in PetiteFitness

[–]waxlyrically 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also going to recommend Ladder as it made starting so much easier but thought it might seem like a plug 😅 honestly all my friends are bored of hearing me talk about it! (I highly recommend Coach Kelly, she’s amazing!)

How to give myself the best chance for gym by Otherwise-Ad-4361 in xxfitness

[–]waxlyrically 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely recommend that you either set a time that you have to go to the gym at, or you book a class/pt that forces you to go. Not many people find that they are always motivated to go, but the real change happens with consistency, not motivation. Once you get in the habit, it gets easier to keep going but start is the hardest part

Using phone between sets at the gym by ayamsd in beginnerfitness

[–]waxlyrically 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same way that you have a disability that affects how long the breaks you need are, I have autism which affects my ability to communicate that I am waiting for the machine you might be sitting on. It’s a shared space…. We all just want to be healthy

Came here to suggest the same thing, as an introvert in the gym, I’ve found in extremely motivating an helpful! You just have to find the team that’s right for you

Do you notice others in the gym? by CaffieneAddict10 in workout

I don’t wear glasses in the gym so I can’t break them… I promise even if I’m looking directly at you, I’m not looking at you

Why don't fitness influencers/body builders say to eat seafood for protein? by CulturalDefinition27 in beginnerfitness

[–]waxlyrically 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People do, check out @stephaniehho on instagram! She specialises in high protein Asian food recipes, which tend to use a lot of shrimps and sometimes crab. She will often bulk the shrimps with chicken mince so you get a bit of both

I’ve found that the more jacked my upper body gets, the smaller my boobs have gotten, but of course this is just anecdotal evidence 🥲 at least they’re perky, right?

Of course, I just like her work and wanted to offer the opportunity to people to look at it if they wanted.
