| Posted: 01 May 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] |

| Posted: 01 May 2020 07:07 AM PDT Is it all right to eat small amounts of carbs throughout the day (especially when you work physically all day) or is it better to reduce/cut out carbs at all? I'm a geologist and some of my work trips consist of 8 hours a day of physical work during which we mostly eat bread/meat jerky/dry sausage/chocolate bars and I'm wondering badly it could affect my body. As far as my knowledge goes carbs are supposed to be acquired by our bodies quickly and then they should be burnt quickly, so I was telling myself that it's all right for me to eat a low amount of sweets every hour or so and then get back to work, but to be honest I'm not so sure about that.

| How Many Days Do You Rest After Heavy Deadlifts? Posted: 27 Apr 2020 06:16 PM PDT I used to rest four days after my last deadlift. I used to work out every two days with an alternate workout each day, but now I work out Monday-Wednesday-Friday to give myself more recovery time. I just hit 405 for 5 reps on Wednesday, and now I'm finding 5 days isn't enough recovery time. I'm seeing some stuff online about people waiting two weeks to deadlift again. I want to gauge how I'll need to feed my recovery time from now on. How many days do you guys rest after doing a working set of heavy deadlifts for strength building? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 08:18 AM PDT Hey everyone, I was a huge fan of 5x5s for my lifting before I had kids :) As they're getting older I've been able to get back to lifting with a cage and bar in the garage. My problem is that my garage isn't high enough for me to do standing OHP, so I'm doing seated. Right now I do them seated without the back of my bench up (think incline) to try to build some core stability. Is this acceptable or is there a different way I should approach my OHP? Edit: Thanks for all the replies, I'm gonna go with kneeling in the rack and if I don't dig it, the camber bar attachments look awesome. [link] [comments] |
| Can barbell hack squats replace squats in a program? Posted: 28 Apr 2020 04:06 PM PDT I want to start doing my workouts at home, and am wondering if I can get around purchasing a squat rack and instead replace squats with barbell hack squats without resulting in some kind of muscle imbalance. I am a relatively inexperienced lifter For reference, the equipment/exercises my program would consist of are:
Is there any obvious muscle deficiencies/imbalances that this program would generate that would render it non-viable? Or, also importantly, would my gains be close enough to optimal to justify the cost-save of no rack? [link] [comments] |
| How much cardio is acceptable while I'm on a lean bulk? Posted: 28 Apr 2020 06:40 PM PDT Here are my stats: 16M (17 in July)/6'2 (roughly 188cm)/168lbs (roughly 76-77 kgs) I decided to go on a lean bulk for a while to try to claw myself out of my skinny-fatness. I love cardio and would love to keep doing it. Currently I am doing cardio 5 days a week, with 2 being for IT and 3 for LISS. No weights right now as I dont have access to any but I will come Monday and will start up my PPL again where I plan to go 5 days per week. I don't really care if it is HIIT, normal IT, or LISS. But I would like to continue doing cardio in addition to the resistance training. So how much is acceptable and will not have a negative effect upon my resistance training? [link] [comments] |
| Build aerobic base before anaerobic? Posted: 28 Apr 2020 04:58 PM PDT I just began running again after about 1.5 months off of almost total exercise. Now when I run no matter how fast or slow I go I'm running in the 165-185 heart rate range. I've always heard you have to build up your aerobic cardio first and should aim to do exercise at 130-150 heart rate. I play varsity sports and really need to get back into good shape by August. Should I go back to slower runs and really maintain 130-150 heart rate or is it okay to push through now and just assume my heart rate will stabilize at a lower value once I'm back in shape again. I'm 21 female if that makes a difference. [link] [comments] |

| Question regarding plyometrics Posted: 28 Apr 2020 05:53 PM PDT How do I add the Vertical Jump Bible routine to my workout? I'm 6'0, 175 lbs, 15 years old and my standing vertical jump is around 24 inches. I play basketball and barely being able to jump is a huge disadvantage, and I want to be able to dunk. I read the whole vertical jump Bible and am planning on incorporating the intermediate workout for people who are already strong (forget what it's called). My 1RM lifts are as follows: Bench press: 205 lbs Squat: 285 lbs Hex bar deadlift: 355 lbs Power clean: 195 lbs I pulled my groin in November and am only now recovering (tried to return early multiple times and injured it again), so my lower body lift numbers are all from November. I'm only just now getting back into squatting, cleaning, and deadlifting so my current numbers are lower than that, but I plan on getting them back up ASAP. I play football as well, and am following a 4 day plan that my football coach has us do. It's based off Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 I believe. Monday's and Thursday's I bench press and clean (hang cleans on Monday, power cleans on Thursday) and squat on tuesdays along with deadlifting on fridays. Wednesday's and weekends are rest days. I plan on adding the VJB intermediate routine which is 2 days a week and includes various plyometrics and some more squats, jump squats, and other leg exercises. My question is how do I add this to my routine without screwing up my recovery? I don't want to overtrain, and from what I understood from the book, you need at least 2 days in between plyometric excel uses for your central nervous system to recover. I thought about doing it on my off days, eg Wednesday and Sunday, but that would put it the day after my big leg days. Should I put it on my upper body days? Would that affect my leg workouts the next day? I'm also very out of shape and need to incorporate some cardio in my routine. I'm trying to decide whether to do steady state cardio, HIIT, or both, and on what days I should do it. If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2020 04:29 PM PDT I'm Female 135 pounds and 5'3. Also I'm really new to the world of fitness and burning calories etc I want to lose at least 5 pounds. My main issue is eating. I just love carbs lol I've been trying my best to cut some out. Today I ate eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast and coffee for brunch and that's all I plan to eat for the day because I intend to drink tea later (and maybe a handful of chips) But to keep active I go on about an hour walk almost every day and then sometimes I'll randomly spring into 10 minute exercises of crunches, squats, jumping jacks, knee kick things etc. Is my exercise even doing anything? I have a problem that I'm trying to fix where I'll think "I did a great walk and work out today - I think I can balance it with some candy/chips/hot chocolate/whatever I'm feeling that night (not all at the same time) Advice would be greeeeeeeat.
