| What are some good “walking” workouts? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 03:27 PM PDT What do I mean by a "walking" workout? I work about 6 months a year beside a cold planner (asphalt milling). I walk multiple kilometres a day but it is slow as. I feel like there is a wasted opportunity here so I have been doing lunges every other truck that we fill as I walk beside the machine and adjust my control box. I was wondering if there are any other exercises I could do in this fashion? Love to hear your suggestions. [link] [comments] |
| Anyone running ~40mpw and can still squat/bench mid-high 400s and bench 300+? Advice? Posted: 20 Apr 2020 12:33 AM PDT Anyone putting up high numbers and still do a ton of cardio? What's your weight/height, numbers and how long have you been working out? How much do you eat and how do you structure your training? I got my lifts to 440/295/550 at 220lbs a 2+ years ago, but nowadays I'm more focused on cardio, getting lean - shooting for 180lbs - and high flexibility. 181cm / 5"11 / 24 years old. But I still wanna be a beast in the gym. And I wanna be able to do these activities concurrently, not season to season. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 03:38 AM PDT I love going to gym classes but they play music painfully loud. I'm surprised how other members can be fine with it, because it sometimes feels like getting stabbed in the ear and is disorientating. Maybe I just have sensitive ears. What earplugs would you recommend when working out/sweating? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 03:27 AM PDT So I did a Arm workout like 2-3 days ago and now I'm starting to feel this weird inner feeling inside my right bicep mostly, and whenever I fully extend my arm out, the weird itch feeling intensifies and I sorta knead my arm to try to calm the "itch" inside my bicep. It kinda hurts but feels more uncomfortable than anything. Anyone ever have this problem? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:27 PM PDT I have nothing against the diet, and I truly believe that along with fasting, there's no better way to lose body fat, increase hormone levels, etc. But I just don't understand how someone can live on no carb based diet for the rest of their lives [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 01:27 AM PDT Currently I'm doing PPL every 3 days I rest 1 but sometimes I'm still sore starting de next PPL for example today is push and I have the triceps sore. Should I go for the workout or do other thing like cardio or practicing other skills? (I'm training push and pull mostly with rings) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 01:22 AM PDT I borrowed some adjustable dumbells and started working out 2 months ago and it only goes up to 5 kg. I'm 15 and 140 pounds [link] [comments] |
| My right hip is higher and more forward than my left hip Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:59 PM PDT I've had this for a while but haven't really thought much about it but I should probably do something to fix it. If I stand straight with my legs together, I can see that the right hip bone is higher than the left, and my entire body naturally curves a bit bit to the left (so I'm not fully facing forward) Do I need to go to a doctor or can I fix this at home?

| Stacking Ephedrine with Synephrine Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:45 PM PDT I'm about to start using the Phoenix supplement from Legion Athletics, which contains synephrine. I've already been using the EC (ephedrine + caffeine) stack for years with great success and no issues. However, I've heard that synephrine is chemically similar to ephedrine, and I'm worried that stacking the two together may be redundant. Does anyone have any relevant information on the efficacy of stacking these supplements for fat loss? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 03:26 AM PDT Hi r/fitness my parents have been driving me crazy since quarantine started because of my belly. I don`t have a six pack or very visible abs and i am aware that i am not the most lean but i workout in the gym and have been doing so for like a year and a half so i don`t think i am fat just not cut. My numbersbodyweight: 80kg/176lbs height: 175cm/ 5'8.9 benc: 70kg/154lbs dl: 110kg/242lbs squat: 70kg /154lbs. Before quarantine started i was trying to get to 85kg bodyweight. My goal for the end of the year is to try and bench and squat my bodyweight. I bought a kettlebel and i am excercising to keep the blood flowing and started doing core specific exercises which i have not been doing before because i thought that the big lifts will be enough for my core.

| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:35 PM PDT Let's say you're doing a PPL program and on your first pull day you do deadlifts and on your first leg day you do squats and next leg day you'll switch to front squats and on your other pull day you'll do sumo deadlifts. Basically just switching your first compound exercises [link] [comments] |
| Bench sit up and planks enough? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:19 PM PDT I workout 4 days a week and do only this exercises for abs. Is it enough to gain core strength or should I do more? [link] [comments] |
| Core exercises add to Chiropractic exercises effectiveness? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:02 PM PDT So i recently noticed that my Chiropractic exercises that i do to correct my back felt better on the days i work out my core. Is there any science to the idea that working out your core helps your Chiropractic exercises correct your back more effectively? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 09:32 PM PDT Is whey noticeably better than whole food protein powder? I ask because I'm debating between the Redcon1 MRE Lite powder and a conventional whey protein and I can't find a solid answer online [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 12:38 AM PDT So I, like nearly everyone, am cut off from my gym. I like building things, and I've been looking into alternatives lately (no space for conventional gym equipment) I have a small concrete pad outside. I want to put 4x4 posts down, one on each side of the concrete pad. About 5ft apart. Concrete them in, whole nine yards. Basically beefy fence posts. Then I want to put an metal bar between them. High enough to do pull ups and use rings on them. Get rings. Then I want to get a separate metal bar to make a DIY X3 bar like this guy did https://imgur.com/a/EGvBuib Then I want to fashion a small wooden stool to place my feet on for calf raises with the rings, as well as incline rows and push ups with the rings to have my feet elevated away from the pull up bar. I was going to then put eye hooks at every inch of both 4x4 posts. These eye hooks would let me attach carabiners at different elevations. I was then going to get a load of resistance bands. Treat it like a dumbbell collection. Bands for every exercise and possible weight range. Those bands could help me do assisted pull ups off the pull up bar, attach the DIY X3 bar to all the eye hooks along the posts (eye hooks at the base of the posts for squats and deadlifts), and attach the X3 bar upwards to the pull up bar. And attach other handles to the bands for things like ropes for facepulls. I was thinking I could do with this set up: Bench Press on Rings Incline Press on Rings Shoulder Flies Chest Flies Shoulder Press Row Incline Row Standing Row Shrugs Deadlift Squat Dips on Rings Dips with X3 bar attached with bands to pull up bar above Pull ups Lat Pull Down Cable (Band) Squats Cable (Band) Pull Throughs Calf Raises Again, 4x4 posts. Fixed pull up bar. Free floating X3 bar with carabiners on the end. Rings. Load of resistance bands. Maybe some other cable handle attachments like ropes for Facepulls. Can someone tell me why this won't work before I go out and buy everything and disappoint myself? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 08:47 PM PDT If I bike everyday for at least an hour and start watching what I eat will I start to lose weight? Or will I still have to do more? [link] [comments] |
| Creative way to join two dumbbells? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 06:06 PM PDT I was able to borrow 2x17.5 lb dumbbells and a 45 lb kettlebell at home during lockdown, and I'd like to be able to join the two dumbbells together so I can do lighter kettlebells swings, getups, etc. with 35lbs instead of 17.5 or 45 (kind of a big jump). Anyone found a good way to make two dumbbells easier to hold together? [link] [comments] |
| Cutting down to 1000 cals/day for a week Posted: 19 Apr 2020 03:45 PM PDT Trying to continue my diet during this quarantine, and I'm curious what everyone's thought on this is. I usually meal prep for monday- Saturday, where Sunday is my cheat day. Typically I aim for 1200-1500 calories a day, but I'm looking at next weeks meal and it has me at about 1000 calories a day. Would that really be a bad idea? Stats- 24 M 5'5, 170lbs, trying to get to 150lbs. Meals- Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs and a banana Dinner: Shrimp alfredo (12 oz of shrimp, 3oz of noodles, 1 container of alfredo sauce, .5 tablespoons of olive oil for shrimp) It seems like its still a decent amount of food. Usually I eat this, except substitute chicken breast for the shrimp. Would 1 week at this level be a horrible idea during quarantine? [link] [comments] |
| Be honest, was all the previous work worth something? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 06:29 PM PDT I'm starting over again in my fitness training. There have been many stops and starts in the past. Earlier on, it involved building up enduance on the elliptical, and upper body weight machines. Then it was DDP yoga, a 'hot' yoga program with some calisthenics mixed in. Then is was several on-and-off weight training regimes, where I got up into the mid 300's on my deadlift, and then something happened: I got sick, death in the family, whatever, and you go "Yeah, I gotta get back into it sometime." More recently, a personal trainer brutilized me with some HIIT-style training. I made progress in all of those, then, to whatever degree, had to start over. I've put on weight over the years, so it's nice to think my ability to begin in the yoga the same was I used to with an extra 50 pounds on me is a good thing is some way. But, I want to know. Honestly. Was all the push, effort, pain, time, and energy in the past worth anything, if I'm always starting over? Or was it a waste if I stopped? Is my cardio and muscle memory better now for having done that, or no? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 02:21 PM PDT Hi all, Looking for advice from balance board users. Lots of choice and not certain what works best. My aims are to improve coordination, balance and core strength for motorcycle track riding. Indo board and coolboard seem to be the big brands, any advice on what models, and if the premium brands are worth the extra? Hit me! [link] [comments] |
