| Advice for bringing brother to the gym Posted: 13 Mar 2020 01:59 AM PDT After several years, my brother has agreed to start coming to the gym with me. He is in terrible shape, has a skinny-fat appearance, hunchback posture, and almost zero muscle mass. He's committed to changing his appearance and I want to help him. As he is a complete beginner would it be better to do full-body workouts for the first few weeks or try to target specific areas of his body?? We're going to keep the weights light and focus mostly on his form, to begin with. What exercises would be most suitable for someone with a hunchback posture? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 03:04 AM PDT Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack. So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:
Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line. So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday? [link] [comments] |
| How does smoking affect my fat loss/muscle gaining goals? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 01:17 AM PDT To preface I am trying to lose fat and ultimately gain muscle with a good diet to maintain my weight while losing fat, however I have a nasty habit, I am a smoker and have been since I was very young. Not something I am proud of and I do intend to quit, but I was just curious as to how this will affect my fat loss and muscle gaining goals? I just started working out, and I am very new to it. What specifically will it prevent my body from being able to do? [link] [comments] |
| Are noobie gains time related or...? Posted: 12 Mar 2020 11:26 PM PDT I wasn't sure how to describe it properly but let's just say 'area related'. Let me give a simplified example: Let's say noob gains are made in the first year (for sake of the argument exactly one year). If I only train my upper body that first year and start training my lower body after that, would the muscle development in my legs be slower compared to if I trained them in the first year? Or will they also gain muscle relatively quickly at first because they are never trained before? [link] [comments] |
| Just getting back to health with a few questions. Posted: 12 Mar 2020 09:17 PM PDT 1: I have started going for brisk 5 mile walks, but also I carry 5 pounds weights, and do intermittent lifting, curling, and other light weight upper body lifting during my walk. I can't find this in either my fitness pal or Noom, so I am trying to figure out how many more calories I am burning. Any ideas?I Also I do some walking up steep hills, an know this is not the same as flat terrain. 2: would a fitbit solve this? I basically want to know how many calories I am burning and my heart rate so I can try for an optimum workout. 3: What is the best deal on a simple entry-level deal on a fitbit, that just tracks your workout?

| Exercise Bike Resistance in relation to speed Posted: 12 Mar 2020 03:01 PM PDT When using a bike with digital resistance level, will upping resistance but maintaining the pre adjust rpm increase the "pace" your distance is clocked at? I ask because I was completing a 4 mile "sprint" and the last min I went full out sprint and the bike seemed as if it couldnt handle the 140-170 rpm I was at. It would vary from 40 watts to 300 watts and I could physically feel the machine being inconsistent in its resistance. I was at a 115 rpm resistance at 7 doing .25mi in 60 seconds. That last minute i was at level 7 140-170rpm and only shaved my quarter mile time down to 55 seconds which seems slower than my actual pace. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2020 10:47 PM PDT I have been going to the gym since February 24th. I go every day of the week except Saturday. I recently became more busy and I will not be able to go on Sundays anymore. I am wondering how 2 days of absence from the gym will affect my progress. I mainly target my arms, chest, and shoulders for muscle gain. I want bigger arms. I am aware of all the factors that go into gaining muscle like caloric intake for instance. I just don't know how much progress would be hindered by 2 days in a row of no workouts. First post here so I'm sry if this is a dumb question but curious what advice I could get from this sub.
