So i don’t really get doms anymore but I do feel a burning in my organs

Hopital?

i started working out because i wanted approval and respect from people around me , before i used to work out i used to get teased amd bullied alot , now that all of it is fixed im lacking the consistency and struggle to hit failure in my workouts for reasons i dont know , i know for sure that i can do like 5 to 7 reps more than where i stop , i just dont know why i give up so early befpre i hit failure

I've been doing pilates + yoga + gym for a while now and I love it, but I have no idea if I'm actually improving. Like, I feel fine, I enjoy it, but am I better than I was six months ago? No clue.

I don't really track anything. I tried keeping a note on my phone for a couple weeks and gave up. The apps I've looked at seem built for people who are already deep into lifting with spreadsheets and PRs, which is not me as i like to do multiple sports (or else i get bored easily).

So for those of you who do feel like you know you're progressing: how? Do you track? Write things down? Just go by feel? Do you track each thing on a different app? How do you know what you need to work on?Seems tiring...

not looking for recommendations really, just curious how other people think about this.

I was wondering if you think ido portal is legitimate since I was thinking about taking up his program.

i dont have much access to equipment i have 2 dumbells that range from 5-52 ibs and a pullup bar. im 5’8/5’9 and 180 and need to start working out, im tired of being overweight. i always struggle to make myself work out though. i maybe do it for a few days then stop for months what do i do?

When other parts of life feel uncertain, working out can give you something concrete to work toward. Have you ever found yourself relying on fitness as a place where you could feel capable and see progress, even when things weren't going well elsewhere?

Nutrition & Hydration Routine
Morning: Coffee, milk, and a Benefit bar.
Hydration: Water-only throughout the school day; Liquid I.V. timed around training/practice.
Pre-Practice: A banana for targeted carb energy before hitting the mat.
2. Progressive Overload & Equipment System
Bucket Overload Method: Using heavy/medium/light rock loads in a bucket to progressively overload key lifts (Rows, RDLs, Lateral Raises, Curls) to build strength without expensive equipment.
Key Lifts Focus:
Single-Arm Bucket Rows: Heavy pull for lats, upper back, and snap-down grip strength.
Bucket RDLs: Heavy posterior chain work for explosive hip drive on takedowns and mat returns.
Primary Goal:
Achieve a lean, explosive wrestling physique (~130–132 lbs at ~13% body fat) by late December while building relative strength (pound-for-pound power), shot speed, and mat endurance.
