| How do you get mental clarity from working out? Is it a process? Posted: 19 May 2020 01:56 AM PDT I want to be that type of person that gets stress relief from working out. I can't seem to get it. I'm so focused on the burn in my muscles, I don't feel I like I'm ever "in the zone" or in connection with my body. How do you get to that point? Does it just take time and consistency?

| Will bar grips help my sore hands with new weights? Posted: 18 May 2020 11:00 AM PDT My Dad mailed me a pair of old Weider dumbbells, where you use a screw collar to get the weight on and off. They were pretty rusty, so he sanded and spray painted them black. They look good...but I have been getting really sore hands from the two sessions I used them. I'm an avid weightlifter, have never had an issue with sore hands. I'm thinking it may be because the dumbbell bar is normally textured and now it paint has made it too smooth and slippery? I don't really want to wear gloves, so I was wondering should i just keep fighting though and hopefully my grip will improve OR buy a pair of rubber bar grips I see on Amazon. That seems to be the logical answer, but I didn't know if there was some sort of compensation or loss of movement that I will be experiencing with them. [link] [comments] |
| What kind of sports do you suggest for uncoordinated adults? Posted: 19 May 2020 03:48 AM PDT I am a 25 year old man who is extremely uncoordinated. I'd love to play softball, but am too uncoordinated to play on a rec league. I'm in decent shape, I have a regular work out regiment. But nothing seems to help me... [link] [comments] |
| Advice on Nutrition and workout. Posted: 18 May 2020 10:31 PM PDT I feel like I have a good nutrition and workout plan but not seeing much results. I workout 4-5 times a week for about an hour. Started picking up cardio too. What are your opinion about my diet? Should take supplement to help burn fat? I'm on my cut right now. I started at 155. Been about 2 months. I feel like I'm losing weight but not seeing the definition I was hoping. I see myself in the mirror and sometimes I think I look good but then taking photos I hate it. I'm 5'4 , 148lbs 1st meal : 100g oats 32g peanut butter 1 whey protein 2nd : 8 oz cod Veggies 3rd 4 oz chicken Rice ( 50g carbs worth) Veggies 4th 80g mix berries 80 g spinach 1 bananas 227g Greek yogurt 300g low cal almond milk 1 Whey protein Snack on some watermelon.

| Getting conflicting information from veterans and former pros at my local gym and r/fitness wiki/faq Posted: 19 May 2020 03:20 AM PDT I've recently started to care a lot more about my health. I started training at a large gym in my area that a lot of current athletes in the local sports teams train at and also a lot of current, retired, and veteran bodybuilders and powerlifters. It's a big facility with a ton of lifting equipment, an olympic pool, outdoor/indoor sports courts, and more. To put it bluntly, a lot of the veteran and former-pro bodybuilders and powerlifters I've been talking to while I train are giving me conflicting advice with what I've seen on Reddit. They are advising against going heavy on exercises like the squat and deadlift due to the high risk of eventual injury, even with good form and training. Some have even told me to entirely avoid those exercises unless I'm actively competing as they are not worth the risk of serious injury. Many have told me to keep the weights light and do more reps (10-20) to avoid injury. Many of these guys used to compete and now they have quite significant back and knee issues, with many having had surgery done. Furthermore, when asking about nutrition, the advice I have gotten about protein intake is different. I've been told that training for fitness, health, and to look good it's just a waste of my time, money, and effort to be actively trying to eat immense amounts of protein. 0.8-1.0 g of protein per kg of body weight is the recommendation I've gotten from these guys, which is much less than I've seen recommended here. Pretty much what most people told me is to eat a normal diet (well at least normal where I live, where we get a good amount of protein from food already) and if I want to just have a protein shake after my workout, but that other supplements and stuff are a waste of my time and money. I'm not too sure who to believe at this point. On the one hand the FAQ here seems to be well written and has some good resources. On the other hand the guys at my gym are in incredible shape for their age and used to (or some currently still do) compete in powerlifting and bodybuilding professionally. [link] [comments] |
| Where to go after Frankoman Dumbbell split? Posted: 19 May 2020 01:46 AM PDT Since I've had a lot of time recently, I've been doing the Frankoman routine twice a week, because I found 3 days a week less effective since you only hit each group once per week. Now I'd like to go back to a 3 or 4 day dumbbell only routine that might be more effective. Any suggestions? I don't have a bench so I've been doing a modified version of it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 03:46 AM PDT Hey guys, I'm 17 and I'm wondering how I can get a v shape lower body? I've always worked out that area, however I can never seem to get the v shape. I weigh 65kg. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2020 02:15 PM PDT Anyone incorporating these into their workout routine? By placing your muscle groups into a disadvantageous state and holding the contraction as hard as you can for 10, 20 even 30 seconds it's a fantastic way to challenge and tear down muscle fibres that would only be otherwise challenged if you were lifting very heavy weight. For this reason it is a fantastic tool to get blood pumping to the muscle and stimulate your muscles in a new and interesting way often using just your bodyweight alone or some basic resistance bands. During these lockdown times I find that this comes in very handy if all you have are your disposal are some light weights or basic resistance bands. By effectively pre exhausting your muscles before beginning your actual warmup sets, you do not need to crank out nearly as many repetitions to really achieve that intensity you are going for. Try doing a full body isometrics workout and you will see what I mean. The pump and mind muscle connection is unreal!
-calves- find a step. Flex your toes away from your shins and squeeze as hard as you can with your toes pointed straight forward. Hold for as long as you can. -biceps - simple, use your dumbells, resistance bands or any weight you have around the house. Keep your elbows behind your body in a fixed position and squeeze for as hard as you can. -triceps - set yourself up as if you were doing a reverse bench dip. You can use a chair, couch, your bed, anything available. Make sure your elbows are slightly bent (not locked out) and squeeze as hard as you can with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Keep your abs and glutes tight. -back - get into a crouching stance with one knee up. Attach your resistance band somewhere. Pull towards yourself, keeping your elbow tucked to your side and squeeze as hard as you can. Use good form (shoulders back, neutral spine, head up chest up and forward) repeat on both sides -chest - press your palms together in front of your chest, feeling your pecs as you squeeze together as hard as you can. -traps - hold your weight of choice, bring your shoulders up and into your ears. Hold and squeeze. Dont forget to include your forearms and abs! Try doing crunches, leg raise holds either laying down or on a dip bar, reverse curl holds, or flexing your palm into your lower forearm using some resistance bands. [link] [comments] |
| Multiple sets worth doing in calorie deficit? Posted: 19 May 2020 02:36 AM PDT M/54 SW 235 CW 196 I fast 16:8, walk 4 miles a day and train with dumbbells/plates at home 3xweek. Goal is fat loss, maintain lean mass. Given my daily calorie deficit is c500, is it even worth doing more than one set? I do 3x8 but training gasses me out, and since I can't gain muscle on such low cals, am I grinding myself down for no good reason? Could I maintain with one heavy set instead? Thanks a lot [link] [comments] |
| is there a time limit on how many hours you’re supposed to exercise a day? Posted: 18 May 2020 04:17 PM PDT after a very long time, i started working out again and i took 3 hours to do so. usually people say that the ideal timing is 20 minutes to an hour and i really hope i did not overdo it lol. can i injure myself like this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2020 01:37 AM PDT Figured I might get a helpful answer in here. Basically, I'm about 3/4 of the way through 5K to 10K training and I've managed to pick up a really nasty blister on my little toe, I've got a blister plaster on it and wrapped it to keep it firmly sealed up I was just wondering what the general advice is about carrying on with it. Any tips on the best way to protect it, wrap it, stop it rubbing any more etc? [link] [comments] |
| Help/suggestions needed with my PHUL workout Posted: 19 May 2020 12:22 AM PDT Hey guys! I've been doing the following workout for a year or two. I used a PHUL template to put it together - I've been replacing and changing some of the exercises as the time has moved on. I was wondering if I the workout is well balanced or should I add or remove any of the exercises (or move it to another day). I'm working out 4 days a week and resting 3 times a week (usually Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday). Any help, reccommendations or suggestions would be highly appreciated! Cheers dudes! Monday:

| Beginning Running Routine Questions Posted: 18 May 2020 11:09 PM PDT Finished finals last week so I have a lot more free time and significantly less stress in my life. I wanted to start running for the first time i a while. I've done 3-10 mile walks maybe once or twice a week when I was at school between classes. That's not an option now because of the virus. I never was a big runner because I'd get so tired and sweaty after a few minutes. While walking I could go pretty much all day with no sweating. I did about 2 miles yesterday morning. The plan was to alternate between 2 mins walking and running. I blow through the first mile without realizing that I should have stopped to walk. So I'm completely beat and have to walk the second mile (my goal was 3 miles but it wasn't happening). I'll see if I can actually follow my guidelines tomorrow morning. My beginning goal here is to be able to do something like 1 mile running, 1 mile walk, and another 1 mile running. Endgame, say 3 months from now, would be able to just do a 5K in 30 mins without absolutely dying. Training up to this, I want to do some form of walking every morning and maybe running every other day. Not sure what the best schedule is there. I like the morning walks just minutes after the sunrise when it's still quiet. One huge thing I'm completely clueless about is diet. Should I eat a breakfast before running or shortly after? Any particular foods/drinks I should get or be avoiding? What I did yesterday was a small cup of coffee and a sausage egg biscuit with an extra patty. Figured the protein would be good for muscles and caffeine for... well we all know what caffeine does. To summarize: Ratio of running to walking minutes? When to have recovery days? Diet before and/or after workout? [link] [comments] |
| Is it normal to feel this weak and sore after working out for the first time in years? Posted: 18 May 2020 09:52 PM PDT I haven't worked out or done intense physical activity regularly since I graduated high school. Growing up I was always slightly overweight (5"7 and I fluctuated between 160-200) but I played a lot of sports competitively and at a high level and was always active or doing something physical. I lifted weights occasionally, had practice, games or gym class 4-5 times a week, and could compete with most people my age. The two things I'd say that my weight affected the most was my endurance and speed but that didn't affect my ability to compete and I was very competitive. Anyways fast forward to today (5"7 250) and it's been nearly 5 years since I've done any constant or high intensity exercise and it's been 1 year living an extremely sedentary lifestyle due to bad anxiety and depression. Recently I've been feeling a lot better and wanted to try working out as I felt motivated to do so for once. I was going to just do body weight workouts and not even after a minute each of mountain climbers, push-ups and squats I was exhausted and my muscles were immediately sore like I just did legs at the gym but the soreness was immediate instead of a few hours later like I attempted to do burpees but could barely do 1 and I could barely even get up off the ground :( It was really defeating as I've never felt this weak and the soreness is as bad as some of the worst squat days I've had but I didn't even do that much and have never been this sore yet alone from only doing body weight workouts. I mean I was expecting much but I didn't expect to be immediately sore is that normal? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2020 09:23 PM PDT I need some advice. Hello everyone, I am 15 years old and have been weightlifting for about 2 years, but more consistently for about 1 year. My mom and dad have never been into weightlifting, but I like it a lot. Unfortunately this lack of experience in the family meant that I didn't have access to good advice other than the Internet. Recently, I did too many deadlifts and hurt myself. I decided that I didn't really know what I was doing, and needed to reconsider my exercise routine. I am about 5'8", 130 lbs. I am asking for any advice from anyone on how to get stronger and bigger, and new exercise routines. I have dumbbells and barbells, a pull up bar, and a medicine ball. I realize that this journey takes time and effort, both of which I am willing to put in. Thank you for any advice that you give me, and I will be sure to try it out. [link] [comments] |

| Grease the groove w/ bodyweight or weighted? Posted: 18 May 2020 06:52 PM PDT I just finished greasing the groove for three weeks (about six sets a day, + three in short sequence) of 20 pushups and 6 pullups. My pushup max is 53 and pullup max is 13. Question - for the next couple weeks, am I better off greasing the groove with weighted pushups/pullups and a lower rep count or increasing reps? My goal is to build strength and increase my max reps. [link] [comments] |
