Guys I’ve been going to the gym for 2 years but feel like I haven’t seen much progress how can I go back to the basics to really master form and shit bc I feel like the more I workout the less I actually know and progress seems to just reverse (am a girl)

Watch YT tutorials for technique. Make sure you’re progressively overloading and are going to failure.

if it's been two years and you haven't made progress you're probably making a mistake with the following: 1. are you progressively overloading? (can you lift more weight over time?) 2. are you eating enough? (are you maintaining or increasing your weight?) 3. are you getting within 0-2 reps of failure on your last set? 4. are you sleeping eight hours a day?

Fair enough my primary goal is to improve physique which means losing body fat and increasing/decreasing muscle mass in certain areas and secondary is to boost cardio fitness and strength/flexibility and stuff

I haven’t been losing weight/inches or noticing any muscle build up and haven’t rly been able to feel heavier weights in the right muscles when I try to move up

don't worry about feeling it, worry about whether you can lift the heavier right with good form
