gaining mass naturally is my biggest struggle – i dont use artificial proteins, steroids etc..it really sucks, all the guys on my gym are on some supplement and they get crazy gains, whereas im gaining like 1-2 kilos every 2 weeks. And im still 15 kilos short of my goal.
Probably 2nd biggest struggle is abs

@limitless yeah I know a lot of guys who use all that pre-workout and steroid stuff and I honestly think that its so much more natural, honest, and just better and more real to do it without that stuff. So good for you! But protein is probally O.K. Only because it actually does help your body (In the correct amount for your body weight), rather than screw with it. I mean its the number one way to recover your muscles after an intense workout and it definitely helps build mass.

@kellymichelle well i dont think protein is okay, ive seen people lose their gains faster when on artificial protein, if they stop gym for like even 1 week. I prefer all natural, other than my multivitamin which is a pill:D
Nothing rests the body more than 10 hours of sleep.
I do have a natural protein shake for you = 2 big spoons Cottage cheese(Low Fat), 2 Eggs, 3 spoons of oat, 1 sliced banana, 1 spoon peanut butter, and sometimes some chocolate sauce. It equals like 30g of protein, and it tastes pretty good.
@AlliC Focus on the goal you want to achieve, and going to gym will be easy, anxiety excuse is a joke, noone cares about you in the gym, everyone has their own goals. I am sure you can work out schedule if you really try, there has to some time slot being idled away. I usually do 5-6 45 min sessions a week, its pretty easy to find time for it.

they dont lose it coz of the powder, it is when they stop their routines, the gains from the powder are lost in a relatively fast time period.
My gym trainer used to be on all kinds of protein and horse steroids etc, he went to his home country for a month and he didnt have access to his stuff there. He dropped like 20kgs!! He was 130 kgs before, it was like he deflated lol. He gave me that exact reasoning, and told me thats true for 99% of people, if they stop working out.
And yes im a guy, but personally i think if some guy is giving off some weird vibe, you should just focus on your goal, and do your thing, he will leave you alone when he sees your engrossed in your workout. Those weird guys are probably intimidated by your female presence, even if its something else, just be focused on your routine, wear headphones if you have too;p

My biggest challenge is getting over the “this is gonna hurt and burn and suck” mental block. I mean, after I’m done working out I feel amazing (endorphins and all) but while I’m working out I’m wondering what everyone thinks of me.

I get bored easily and need to keep finding a new routine to keep me motivated.
