| Is it normal for a period to be late when you start exercising? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 10:51 PM PST Hi! I'm an 18 year old female and have started going to the gym regularly recently. This is my first time ever doing regular, intensive exercise btw. I've been going for around two hours every day and do a variety of exercises in the gym. My period is always regular and is normally never late but it was supposed to come three days ago and still hasn't come so I'm wondering whether this is perfectly normal and has happened to other women when they began exercising? I have all the other symptoms like cramps etc but that's it. Is this a sign of overexercising? Edit: just got my period lmaoo. Thank u so much for the replies guys I was worrying over nothing thanks!!!!!!!! [link] [comments] |
| Is it ok to swim on my days off? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 10:50 PM PST M15 200 5'10 I want to lose weight and gain muscle. I lift 3 days a week using 5x5 compound lifts and i want to do cardio on my off days. mon, tues, thurs, fri i do bjj for an hour. i'm thinking of swimming for my cardio, as that is what's most appealing in terms of cardio, but i don't want to lose any progress made from lifting by swimming every off day. I also want to know if you guys think it would be ok to swim after weightlifting too. Idk if cardio after weight lifting is good or not, or what i should even do after weight lifting if anything.

| Rowing Machine for a noob. Warmup? How long? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:29 AM PST So I just started going to the gym. Last time was some 4 years ago at my uni. I really like the rowing machine, I checked some guides on how to do it, so from knees close to my chest, first push with my legs, then with back until I'm at 45 degrees leaned back, then arms, all in one fluid motion. It was one day ago, I did 3 times 15 minutes with 5 minute breaks, I tried not to go too ham, but since I took off my glasses, after the workout what I thought was 3 out of 10 setting was actually 8 out of 10 setting on the machine. Wasn't a big deal really, since I wasn't going too fast, first 15 mins I tried to keep right under at 4 mins/500 metres. Next 15 was 3:30. Final was around 3 mins. I start up slow, pick up my tempo, at 14 minutes I slow down gradually. The machine is the air-based one, no water, you can feel the breeze of a fan when you're rowing. As for the questions:
I am a 30 year old dude. I'm 178 cm (5 feet, 10 inches) and I weight 65 kilos (144 pounds). I used to weigh around 55 kilos - 121 pounds (sometimes even slightly less) up until my 29th year to my crazy metabolism, even went to a nutritionist with that, she said it's just how I was, but I should expect to gain weight eventually. Not sure if that matters at all. Anyhow, that's for my first post, gave the rules a read, browsed around the wiki and faq, but did not find much in regards to those specific questions. A lot of other useful info tho which I'll go through today. Any tips would be welcome. [link] [comments] |
| At-Home Fitness Routine for Quarantined Canadian in China Posted: 01 Mar 2020 01:54 AM PST Yep, you read it right, I am officially quarantined for 14 days. I am not allowed to leave my apartment and must order food in. I'm the type of guy who exercises every day, whether it's a jog, bike ride, a long walk, or the gym. Therefore, I am looking for a workout routine I can do from the comfort of my own home. I do not have any weights, just my body! I am 6'3" 220 pounds and was an athlete most of my life, if that means anything at all! I'll take any suggestions. DVDs? Apps? Anything! HELP! [link] [comments] |
| Advice for getting back into the gym/fitness Posted: 01 Mar 2020 04:05 AM PST Hi all, I'm just looking for some advice on getting back into the gym and becoming more fit. I'm a 32 year old male, 5"11 and roughly 78kg. I haven't been to the gym in perhaps almost 3 years now. I spent most of my twenties going three times a week mainly lifting to get bigger, be in really good shape and look good. I stopped around three years ago after an illness and got a bit sick of having the pressure of being in good shape. We're always been bombarded with the fact that we aren't good enough as we are so no wonder we feel pressured to go to extremes to look good. There's a good gym down the road but I am in two minds on whether to join it or not. I play badminton in the week which helps my fitness but if I rejoin the gym, I think I might get caught in the rut of going to get in great shape feeding my ego. I'm a bit older now and would rather go for myself and to keep myself healthy. I just think that I'll get back in the gym, see all the big and in shape guys and end up on that wagon again. I'll be back on 5x5 before I know it, eating 3000cals a day in evenly spaced divided meals. This is a bit of an extreme example but if you look at guys like jay cutler, Ronnie coleman etc.. They will never be able to give it up because it's part of their identity. After all, who is jay cutler if he's not crazily big and in incredible shape. Looks like I rambled a bit there but has anyone got any thoughts on this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:26 AM PST Ok, i have a problem. I recently picked back running as cardio after a winter hiatus but, for some reason, my knee hurts when i run. I went to the doctor, he said rest it off and so i did for a week but 300 yards in i was still screaming at every landing. I probably need something gentler on my knee until it properly heals, but i dont want to give up cardio in my routine and the situation is not permanent enough for me to spend too much money on it. Any ideas on how i could effectively replace running for a couple without fucking up my knee? [link] [comments] |

| Taking up multiple benches, bars, racks in a small gym. Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:34 AM PST I go to a small gym, probably no more than 700 sq ft. Its got limited equipment but it works. I usually complete my sets, clean up and then move completely to another piece of equipment. There are people in my gym that will take up multiple benches, bars, racks etc and cycle through their workout. I've considered just taking the machine or the bar because they've stepped away for a long time. Do you think it is considerate to take up a lot of space and equipment given that other people also want to work out? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:12 AM PST I've been working out a lot for these past two weeks and just today i went and googled when i should start seeing progress (not that i'm frustrated about not seeing it yet, i mean i've only really been working out enough for these last two weeks), but i read something about tall people never getting the calories they need and that they just need to bulk (6'3 btw). But idk i don't feel like bulking, i wanna be lean and just pretty muscular (nothing extreme just a big lean boy). The supplements i take are whey protein and creatine, nothing else don't feel like anything else is worth it for me. But i've been wondering if i need to overkill it on calories. I got some bodyfat, does working out 5 days a week mean i have to eat way more, or do you think that just eating slightly more and taking protein shakes should be enough? [link] [comments] |
| Improving strength and cardio, or simple prioritise strength? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:10 AM PST So i'm pretty new to the fitness community. I've started going to the gym about 1 month ago, going 5-6 times a week, primarily only lifting weights without cardio (I just wanted to focus on my strength and putting muscle on). I'm 18, 5'11 and 150 pounds and am pretty skinny/weaker than most. For example, I can only curl 12.5kg, squat 55kg and bench 40kg. The thing is though, although I want to continue lifting weights and getting stronger quickly, or as quick as I can, I also want to maintain, or even improve my cardio whilst increasing my strength as well. To do so, if I lifted weights 4-5 times a week and then did cardio 2-3 times, would I see myself getting stronger whilst improving my cardio? I do play football, but because of university and work, recently I have been struggling to go to practice which would usually make up most of my cardio. I should point out that I naturally have good aerobic endurance, so would it even be necessary for me to incorporate cardio, and instead, just continue what I'm doing and trying to just improve strength and increase size.

| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:02 AM PST No matter how much I warm up I get calf pain (where the muscle meets the tendon) running at low levels (7.3-8.5) on the treadmill, bit as soon as I'm go up to 9-9.7 it stops hurting. What is wrong with my leg?!? [link] [comments] |
| How can I regain leg strength? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 01:11 AM PST I've been going to the gym for a little over a year now, but had some time off due to some personal stuff and only this week have I started again. Arms/chest, fine. Core, sucks but it's never been great... But I hit the leg press at a low weight and it seemed really hard. I didn't push it as it felt like if I persisted I could injure myself. What things could I do to bring my legs back up to scratch with less pressure on them? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:25 AM PST Hi, in the interests of keeping less stuff to track and staying in the 3x10 range for hypertrophy, would I be able to do what I say in the title? I'd keep the T1 lifts progressing from 5x3 -> 6x2 -> 10x1, but the t2s would be something along the lines of 50-75% of my TM for 3 sets of 10 Is this batshit crazy or just another way of making gains [link] [comments] |
| Are fat burning pills effective? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 01:49 AM PST I understand taking one after eating a McDonald's isn't going to cancel it out but providing diet and exercise are good, do they actually work for a little fat burning boost? [link] [comments] |
