| Posted: 26 Mar 2020 04:31 PM PDT With the gyms closing down I just ordered a barbell and a couple weights, but the first barbell couldn't ship bc of the whole shutdown and this barbell could ship the fastest which is all I really cared about. Even then it still took two weeks to ship, and today it came and I didn't realize it was not just a standard barbell and I couldn't even tell from the pictures. My hands are kind of big and i don't know if it'll make a difference in squats, OHP, or deadlifts, it's just in the bench that I could see it feeling extra weird. Just from a quick internet search, I guess it's supposed to help grip strength and your forearms, but is there actually any benefit and should I just return it? I shoulda add that an Olympic bar is 28mm in diameter and I guess this one is 50mm, and I'm just planning to use it till the whole quarantine thing blows over and the gyms open up.

| Posted: 27 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] |
| Anyone have tips on pushing through a bad days workout? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 04:10 AM PDT Sometimes i feel really down, tired and just bad. I will fail the first lift and just getted exhuasted and unmotivated. Usually i can smash a workout but sometimes it just really hits me. Does anyone have any tips for pushing through a workout when you really dont want to? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Mar 2020 09:41 PM PDT I workout 6 days a week, alternating between full body weight lighting days and 20-30 min hiit runs, is this okay or is it counterproductive? I do the hiit and strength training on separate days, not in the same session. I am happy with my body, looking to tone up a bit more. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Mar 2020 07:14 AM PDT Question for everybody: I have been working with an assisted pull-up machine at my gym and was able to complete pull-ups with 55 lbs, and how I understood that was I was pulling up my body weight minus 55 lbs. Now that the gym is closed, I have purchased a pull-up bar and resistance bands for assisted pull-ups to keep me improving. However, even when I have all 4 bands (one is 50lb resistance, one is 35, one is 25, one is 15) attached to the bar, ideally giving me the most assistance as possible, I am still unable to do a single pull-up. Any idea why this is? I am thinking it has something to do with stabilizing my body on an actual chin up bar as opposed to having my feet resting on a weight with the assisted machine. Also, what would be a good progression for me? [link] [comments] |
| Does it matter if i workout wrong if i workout for long? Posted: 26 Mar 2020 06:43 PM PDT Ok im going to need to explain this. I started working out in the summer of 2019 and i've made alot of progress. Fat loss and muscle gain! I have a little bit of a program. As in days designated for different muscle groups. But since i am only 13 years old. I can't cook my own meals and i can't really change my diet :/ I've planned to workout for years to come though. My question is : If i keep working out at least 4 times a week (as i do now) until the age of 18, will i still see gains even if i can't change my diet? I'd like to add that i don't eat the healthiest of food. And i do have some high body fat procentage. For my age atleast. But my body fat has went down at least a couple procent since i started.

| Question on going on a caloric deficit. Posted: 27 Mar 2020 12:40 AM PDT So I've read a little bit about caloric deficit and i was wondering if i decided to go on one, is it still okay to go to the gym 5 days a week and splitting up the muscle groups like i normally do and if im on a limited diet, what are the best foods to eat? And of course this would be after the quarantine [link] [comments] |
| I did a full body workout with 4 compund exercises yesterday? I also want to work out today. Can I? Posted: 27 Mar 2020 04:39 AM PDT So I wasn't able to exercise for a while due to the quarantine. Then my friend got equipments at home yesterday. I started off with cardio and 2 sets of push ups as warm up. I then did squats (3 sets of 10-12 reps) , dealift (3 sets of 6-8 reps), overhead shoulder press ( 1set of 12 reps and 2 sets 6-8 reps) and bench press ( 1 set of 15 reps and 2 sets of 6-8 reps). I also did 3 sets of a tricep exercise, barbell bicep curls (3 sets) and forearm exercise. Is it ok to do such a high volume workout? I also want to workout today because I feel mentally fresh when I workout. It also helps me with stress. My back is a little sore so I won't do any pull exercises. Maybe I might do a arm and core workout. [link] [comments] |
