| When did you guys started noticing a difference in your body type? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:13 PM PDT I know that this is a slow process as I've been working out for a little while and I haven't been able to put in much work as my body is just out of shape. But when did you start noticing a difference once you started working out? [link] [comments] |

| Deadhangs - Does it get easier? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 03:27 PM PDT Hi everyone - Does anyone here deadhang on a regular basis? My forearms basically give out completely at the 30 second mark but I've read a lot of benefits on deadhanging for a few minutes each day. Now I'm stuck at home I got a sturdy pull-up bar and thought deadhangs can improve grip strength. Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Two 20kg kettlebells or one 27kg dumbbell? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:45 AM PDT My gym closed down two weeks ago so I'm doing home workouts until quarantine passes, but I'm having trouble with back and leg exercises: I have no water jugs, no decent place to mount a pull-up bar, have only been doing inverted rows under a table, bulgarian split squats and pistol squats. Which brings me to my question, I can buy two 20kg kettles or a 27.5kg DB for pretty much the same price, and I don't know what to buy. In the gym, I was doing: DB OHP: 20kg for ~10 reps DB BP: 30kg for ~12 Cable tricep extension: 23kg for ~10 DB row: 30kg for ~10 DB curl: 12.5kg for ~12 I also already have 2x2.5kg and a single 1kg DB, 4 various elastic bands, and I'm going to get a wooden stick to replace a bar. I'm thinking, with the KBs and bands I would cover the push (ohp, floor press and tricep extensions), I could do squats by loading a backpack full of books, the light DBs, and hold the KBs in front for a weird front/back/goblet squat combo. The deadlifts would be at least something with the 40kgs + resistance bands. For curls I could place some weight in a backpack, hang it off the wooden stick and curl the stick, so that would work pretty well. But the rows would be disappointing as I think 20kg might be too light to reach a decent intensity. I guess I could do very high reps with it but I'm already doing that with inverted rows... The 27.5kg DB would be perfect for the rows, pretty good for curls, I could do single arm BP (floor press) with it, would be a little much for extensions but that's okay, however the OHP is a big problem here, as I don't know if I could do more than 2 reps at that weight. But I think I could manage with pike pushups and one arm band OHP. For deadlifts I could do them single leg and for squats I could load the backpack with about 10kg and goblet squat the 27.5kg. Is there anything I'm missing that would be a good reason to buy one over the other? I don't know why I'm being so indecisive but I would like to hear you guys' thoughts. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:11 PM PDT Everything else is met. What do you think? Would I just eat bread or just end at 3,531/4,050 calories for the day? [link] [comments] |
| Can you lift too heavy for your bones/joints, even if you can still physically do it? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:01 AM PDT Ive worked a lot of labour jobs but i am still very new to the gym. I tried some dumbell side lateral raises for 30lbs and while i can get high reps with proper form i find my shoulders still hurt right down to the bone, and a little more after each rep. So even if your muscle can handle a weight, is it possible your joints are not ready yet? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 10:25 PM PDT hey /r/ fitness. I am a long distance runner who is heavily involved in backcountry ski sports (hiking mountains) wanting to keep/build up my fitness as there will potentially be no winter. i normally run 50km a week. Wondering what lower body training i should be doing on top of that to build strength in other areas. [link] [comments] |
| What kind of exercise should I use on Reddit's PPL as my main leg lift instead of squats? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:51 PM PDT Unfortunately I can't do barbell squats. Period. I have a spinal fusion due to scoliosis and I'm actually recommended by my doctor to not barbell squat, so please don't try to convince me to just do it. I've already tried it even against his advices while under a gym instructor watch and it's not gonna happen. Having that said, on Reddit's PPL's routine you're supposed to start with BB squat 3x5 as your main lift on your leg day so you're be able to linear progress. What kind of exercise can be a good alternative to this as a main lift, so can I linear progress the same way I would with squats? If none can do it, should I just change it for a similar exercise (like Bulgarian Split Squat) and do it on the so called hypertrophy rep range (8-12)? Would it be bad to not have a strenght lift with low reps the way squat is supposed to be on this routine? Thanks for any help. Apologize for any english issue. Not my first language.

| What would your fitness advice be for me? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:14 AM PDT Hi, I'm a 22 year old male with an average body looking to get a bit more physically fit and healthy. Currently: - a little under 5'9 - roughly 160 lbs - some level of physical fitness (typically I'll do pushups every few days and do one set of as many as I can do, currently can do about 60 at a time, also I do some other moderate non-intense exercises such as sit ups, general walking & jogging, skateboarding, etc) - I have some muscle on the arms and my upper body looks beefy & muscular, but I do have love-handles that I cannot lose for the life of me (I originally had no love handles about 4 years ago, but after a breakup gained 30 pounds for a year and then lost the weight but did not lose the love handles) - I do not eat particularly healthy but I don't overeat (I don't do sodas or candy, but I will eat pizza & wings sometimes and would very much like to continue doing so) I would like to get fitter but I don't want to make insane changes to my lifestyle. I obviously know this entails working out more and eating a bit healthier, but what I don't want is to a fitness regime that I cannot maintain (so if the advice is "workout for 2 hours a day and only eat lean meat and vegetables" I will probably give up eventually). I know that means that I won't have an adonis body, but what I'm looking for is to hopefully just get a bit more in shape and lose the love handles. [link] [comments] |
| Hired a nutritionist, i'm getting unorthodox advice Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:29 AM PDT Hi everyone, For some background, I'm morbidly obese, male, in my twenties, and about 5'10. A bit over a month ago, I started counting my calories and hitting the gym 4-5 times a week. I dropped 10lb in that time span, but I also noticed my strength weening. I hired a very professional, acclaimed literally top-tier bodybuilder & nutritionist to help me with my goals. This person's credentials are impeccable and although I prefer not to name them, they've worked with some of the very best athletes. This person however gave me a plan that has me spreading my meals across 6 meals, but what caught my eye is that the meal is 300g of protein and literally twice my maintenance caloric range. This guy knows I'm trying to lose weight while minimizing muscle loss, and I do trust his advice, but all I ever see on any online board is CICO being the laws of physics and undeniable. Is CICO "absolute" or is overfeeding/eating a high protein diet to raise metabolic rate, then increasing number of workouts/lowering calories steadily also a working method? [link] [comments] |
| I run a 14 minute mile... can I run 5 minutes within 2 months? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:23 AM PDT Made a bet with a couple of friends and I'm not trying to lose money... I'm willing to do multiple runs every day if that's what it takes... you guys got any links, tips, suggestions... thanks for any kind of help [link] [comments] |
| Should I be sore a few hours after my workout? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:50 AM PDT Currently in quarantine so i decided to start working out again since I have the spare time. In the past, I've been sore the next day after my workout but never the same day. Is this normal? Or am I sore because I did a workout wrong or something? Honestly my form was really sloppy today since it's been wayyy too long since I've engaged in physical activity so I'm wondering if that's what caused this or if I'm just over thinking Anyway sorry for the stupid question but being sore the same day of a workout is a bit new or at least I don't remember this happening back when I did exercise [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 12:36 AM PDT Hello. I'm new to fitness but have heard about bulking and putting on some weight and then cutting. I don't want to have a high bf percentage and want to have a "ripped" look consistently. Is it possible to just be cut and then gradually increase my calorie and protein intake and just make my cut muscle bigger? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 10:51 PM PDT Hello, Preface: I am sure people will tell me to go seek medical advice from a doctor or similar, I just wanted to say upfront that I have been to two different chiropractors (not intentionally, the normal guy was off so I saw a different chiro on my most recent visit) except they both gave conflicting advice so I am asking here to confirm or deny what I think and help which way I go forward. Cheers So I have been doing a full body routine for the last six months or so and about two months ago I thought I would do something about the slight shoulder pops and what not I would get when doing shoulder exercises like lateral raises, it wasn't particularly noticeable except if I was under load but I thought it might be something that would get worse over time so off I went to a chiropractor, he cracked my neck and what not and started me on some back exercises the most prominent being farmers carries with a particular posture in mind, everything else was to go as usual, cardio weights etc but I stopped doing shoulder specific exercises entirely, I think I did them once with lighter weight, thought the popping and what not was worse than before I went to the chiro and haven't done them since as I assumed it would take time to sort out the back strength side of things. So after two months and the should pops getting worse even though I wasn't doing the problematic movement I started reading up on what causes the popping/clicks and saw that having weaker muscles under the scapula can lead to popping and clicking due to bones being closer together from the weaker muscles not holding the bones far enough apart, which is a very simplified explanation I know but work with me here. Anyhow that made me try and tense the area below where my armpit, probably armpit to lat roughly, as a test, when I tense the underarm area and raise my arm I can do so and experience little to no pop, to the point that I would say it doesn't happen at all it is just that I am focusing heavily on it as is the nature of me testing what I am doing, if I did the same tense and same motion with my arm normally I would not notice the pop as it would be so minimal if it is there at all. My questions are, have I made a mistake by not doing side and front lateral raises or similar exercises for the last two months and let part of me get weaker/stay the same whilst I have been strengthening the other areas and essentially causing the now stronger muscle to bully my now weaker muscles out of position? With or without that being the case do you think I should start lighter shoulder work again to get my strength built up there again. I am thinking I might go to a GP yet as the popping and clicking was very minor and only when I was under load and I thought it might lead to somewhere a lot worse, where now it is quite pronounced and I feel every time I go to the chiro I walk out and it is just worse than when I walked in. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| What are the best dumbbells for home? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 10:21 PM PDT Plan on ordering some since I'm at home. I want them to be relatively cheap (less than $50$). I would also like those ones where you can change the weight on them. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 10:08 PM PDT Me: Vegetarian, twinky-like male body. 5'6" 130 lbs. Italian complexion with strong Italian-English genetic hybrid. I ran distance all throughout HS, so didn't really see gains there. My best bench was like 45 lbs at 12 reps. Fast forward to mid-college. Didn't really exercise except for occasional jog here and there and daily walking. Two months ago I started going to Planet Fitness (RIP) and sizing up my consumption. I aim to get around 3000 calories and >100g protein per day. (It's hard as I need to do protein shakes and really force myself to eat at times) Not to mention that every nutrition calculator gives a different protein estimate. (I believe bodybuilding recommends 200g WTF) Now. I can bench 80 pounds at 10-12 reps. Much better than just two months ago. Probably seeing those beginner gains. Biceps are noticeably bigger (to me anyhow) but I'm not sure how much longer it'll last. Goal: By next semester (late August) about 5 months from now, I'd like to have noticeably larger arms (to the general public) and ideally a larger chest and back. Not only is it hard to fit in the macros and protein as a vegetarian, but even if I keep that up and the progression of weights, I'm not sure if I'll plateau due to some unknown factor I'm unaware of. Right now I'm doing each muscle group twice a week with 3 sets per exercise (12-10-8 reps) so that I can barely do the last rep on each set. Is this good? What else can I be doing to see those gains? I'm obviously very new to this but I believe I have a good mental game. For instance, I knocked my 5k time JR year to SR year of HS by over one and a half minutes (19:47 to 17:26) which is actually insane if you know anything about 5k races. Willing to do literally anything (yes, even that) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 10:05 PM PDT Thinking about doing a 2 week or 3 week mini cut as i'm currently bulking right now. I have around 22% Body fat and I want to get that down. My top four abs are slightly noticeable but I still have a lot of fat i'm I want gone. Is it possible that I can reach at least 15-17% body fat by the end of my cut without losing too much muscle? I want my abs to show more so i can look more aesthetic. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 09:41 PM PDT For context I'm a fourteen year old boy. I've been doing strength training and cardio on and off for the past year and a half (two week hiatuses at most) I used to be severely overweight and wanted to change for my high school years. Anyway I'm getting off topic, I was debating wether or not to continue to put on muscle or try and lean out. For the last six months I've been focusing on putting on muscle after a session of leaning out. I stopped doing that after I realized that I would look skinny and not lean like I wanted. I'm finally at the point where I think if I lost weight again I would actually look good. I was just wondering if I should continue what I'm doing or if I should just go for it Here's some measurements Starting weight (2018): 180 Starting height (2018): 5'1 Lowest weight (2019 summer): 143 Height (2019 summer): 5'6 Current weight: 165 Current height: 5'9 I forgot to mention that since I started gaining weight/focusing on strength I've increased my pull-ups to 15, deadlift to 205, and bench to 150. I have a body fat of 19%-20% [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 07:28 PM PDT So, title! I had an eating disorder and ever since then working out has been super tainted for me. I want to work on my waist and glutes but every video I've seen involves some form of muscle building on the thighs. So, when I was at my worst, gaining muscle scared me and I never ever wanted to show any kind of muscle. I know this probably sounds dumb but does anyone know how I can work on my wait and especially glutes without intentionally gaining or making muscle show more? [link] [comments] |
| How would you create a program to achieve these goals? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 06:52 PM PDT Came across this website (https://www.verywellfit.com/how-to-train-for-special-forces-entry-3498552 ) with fitness standards for Special Forces entry. Not sure how accurate they are but if you were to try and achieve these, how would you create a program to do so? Target these aerobic / endurance standards: Beep, multi-stage or shuttle test. Level 14 Three kilometer run: 11.5 minutes Five kilometer run: 20 minutes Ten kilometer run: 42 minutes Twenty kilometer run: 88 minutes Run a marathon (42.2 km): 3 hours 15 minutes. Or Olympic distance triathlon in 2 hours 30 mins Swim two kilometers in 40 minutes. Walk 40 kilometers with 20 kilogram pack in 7 hours Aim for these strength/endurance standards: Pushups, full body: 80 Situps, standard military: 100 Pull-ups (to proper hang and chin standard): 12 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 05:23 PM PDT So for starters I'm a 16 year old boy that it trying to stay physically active and hopefully lose weight. I swim for my high school during the winter. I recently started wanting to get into running so I got up early two days ago and ran. The day after I my legs hurt a lot so I did a 30 minute at home workout. Should I run and do some body weight exercises everyday or run every day and "weight train" every other day? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 04:35 PM PDT Maybe not for r/fitness but I thought it'd fit. I'm above average fit. A little above average flexible. Can get down alright for a split (the one where your legs go one in front, one behind). And I am extremely determined and have a lot of time on my hands. How can learn the split until Friday (I have sort of a bet going)? [link] [comments] |
