| What's the best way to increase the difficulty of Press Ups? Posted: 22 May 2020 01:43 AM PDT I've been working out from home cause of quarantine, and with the lack of equipment I try and get as many press ups into the workout as possible (I do 4 sets of a given exercise like bicep curls, shoulder press, lat raises etc and in-between those sets I do press ups) when I started a couple of months ago I would really struggle to do 20 good form press ups, now I can do 4x20 in-between sets of another exercise. I know you have to keep increasing difficulty to keep benefiting from an exercise so what should I do? Can I just keep adding more reps? Should I add weight/resistance band or should I do different styles of press ups? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks for reading. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 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] |
| Question for qualification to be a coach Posted: 22 May 2020 03:40 AM PDT Hi , I'm 22 yrs old. I was thinking to becoming a coach someday ( to help people for their fitness goals) I already some "ENOUGH" knowlegde when it comes up to fitness like "how to lose fat", "how to build muscle". But I'm still studying And I learning things in the Fitnesss Industry. And I really want to help people to change their body and mindset. Downside is, I still don't have that "physique" to be considered as a coach. Is that a hindrance to becoming one someday? And how can I start? Thank you for your answers [link] [comments] |
| Hepburn solution clarification Posted: 22 May 2020 03:09 AM PDT For the Hepburn Solution's Progression should it be Power phase: 5x1 working up to 8x1 Pump phase: 6x3 working up to 6x5 Does this mean that in the t-nation example workout section from the link in the /r/fitness faq there's a typo? In the example they've written Power phase: 8x2 I thought for the power phase you only increase the number of sets rather than reps? Pump phase: 3x6 3 sets of 6 reps rather than 6 sets of 3 reps? Thanks in advance for the help! [link] [comments] |
| Will doing two shorter workouts per day decrease cortisol release? Posted: 21 May 2020 04:28 PM PDT I've read that long workouts (about 40 minutes and longer) can lead to a release of cortisol. Will doing two ~30 minute workouts rather than one long one prevent that cortisol release? Is the cortisol release even significant enough to worry about? [link] [comments] |
| Calorie counting with mainly sedentary day but exercise 9 - 12 hours a week Posted: 21 May 2020 09:51 PM PDT This is a bit long so there is a TLDR. I count my calories and run a PPLx2 program. I like making sure everythings on point so I'd rather calculate calories(i have been for 6 months for weight training and previously for a year when i was losing weight). Now that that is out of the way i was wondering how i should calculate my cutting calories. Most of the calculators say Active lifestyle! although i work out 6 days a week with heavy to moderate weight (4-15 reps depending on exercise and close to or to failure) and each workout is about 1;30-2 hours, my day consists of sitting around other then that(courtesy of quarantine). So i'm not sure how to input that i have a sedentary lifestyle but workout around 9-12 hours a week. Also, my rest periods for heavy compounds are 3-4 and hypertrophy exercises are 1-2 so how does that work. I'm really just looking for a calculator that takes into account people who live a lazy lifestyle asides from working out(not an active day job, only working out) i've used different calculators, most give me 3000 tdee but some give me 2500. TLDR: , live a sedentary lifestyle asides working out 9-12 hours a week 6 days a week. Want a calorie calculator that separates job activity and exercise activity [link] [comments] |
| Renewed strength - keep cutting? Posted: 21 May 2020 09:17 PM PDT So I have been lifting weights for around 15 years on and off with a few years break. After getting older With less time, I began doing only fullbody workouts 2-3 times pr week. My children are now so old that I am able to workout most evenings. I have chosen to start a split, which I have been doing the last week or two. My strength is increasing dramatically at the moment - even though I am cutting Down for the summer. My question is: Do you Think it would be better for me to go on a bulk to make the most of my renewed strength, or should I keep to my program? Do I lose out on too much muscle gain, if I keep cutting? My bodyfat is by mirror-estimation around 15% right now. [link] [comments] |
| Why am I not seeing results after 6 weeks of intense training? Posted: 21 May 2020 10:13 PM PDT I'm 15F, and I'm trying to make my abs more defined. I've been doing intense core workouts every other day and I run 4 times a week. I eat pretty healthily too. I've been doing this for around 6 weeks now. I'm not really seeing improvement to be honest. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any advice would be appreciated [link] [comments] |
