| Posted: 12 Jun 2020 03:17 PM PDT Which do you prefer? Is one better for muscle growth? I personally do cable flys because I prefer the fluidity of the cables but I don't know if I'm missing out on the machine or not [link] [comments] |

| Bar hits the knees while deadlifting? Posted: 12 Jun 2020 08:50 PM PDT Basically every time I go down while deadlifting, the bar collides with my knees. While it's manageable, it's causing some minor bruising that's getting progressively worse. Is that just a simple part of deadlifting, or am I doing something wrong? [link] [comments] |
| If you could tell your pre-fitness/gym self something you learned along the way, what would it be? Posted: 13 Jun 2020 02:32 AM PDT Looking for some answer you may or may not fond in beginners guides. Super exited to start going to the gym and get fit next week! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 03:56 AM PDT So I've been weight lifting for about 4 years and have made some decent gains and I have never really cared about core strength. I am now cutting for the first time and I thought doing some core would be a breeze. Tried some core excersies, hanging leg raises and similar things and I could barely get one rep out. Even doing lying leg raises I really felt my lower back as my core was so weak. And being 6'5 I feel like my legs are so long it's even more harder I know lots of core excersies but im looking for a good plan and structure for a beginner programme that will eventually lead me to do more advanced lifts. Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 04:40 AM PDT 10 days ago I joined a gym for the first time. It was awesome running on the treadmill, then I used the stationary bike but my tailbone was hurting like a bitch. Yesterday I used the row machine. The row machine had 15 difficulty levels. I did 2 km in 30 minutes at levels 7 or 8 which was 500 strokes, it was my first time so I know it's nothing great. Would maximum level be the realistic difficulty or keep it at level 10? I know past certain level, they add extra levels on these machines for people who want to go extra hard 100% This row machine was silence and didn't need electricity. It didn't have the difficulty levels on the wheel side going up and down from 1 to 10 like Concept 2 models, it was a control button under the handles from 1 to 15. It may sound like a stupid question, since some machines can have different levels, but I'd like to get a better approximation. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 04:24 AM PDT Is weightlifting that much more effective than body weight fitness; personally I'm self conscious about going to the gym and always have been, even if I wanted to most of the gyms near me are still closed. If I purely stuck to calisthenics would it be really ineffective compared to weight lifting. I've always seen weightlifting transformations that have been done in a relatively short period of time but most individuals that do body weight don't seem that muscular, I don't know if this is due to their being less body weight focused people or it's nothing compared to lifting weights. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| I want to see/read a real explicit story about a normoponderal person getting a healthy body Posted: 13 Jun 2020 04:11 AM PDT I am doing some research (it's been a while actually) about the facts behind getting fit. Not those huge transformations that appear on the TV shows but the body transformation that usually normoponderal people wish to get. You know, loosing some fat first, especially from some areas and than gaining muscle mass. I just can't find a real story about the process. I know that is different for every type of body but I just want a real story with all the struggling, all that the things that didn't or did work for that person. All I can find are long stories that tells you nothing and a lot of diets or exercises that only a gym trainer could do. I am looking for a normal person who got a healthy body and started as a begginer at eating healthy and doing any kind of sport. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 03:59 AM PDT Hi, I (27M 6ft 165 pounds) am struggleing with the kind of calories I need to aim for, I have no definition on my stomach however my arms are not too bad. I basically have a 'normal' physique but would like to be able to see my abs again... Putting it simply i know I need to lose the fat but I don't exactly weigh a lot so I'm not sure if I need to cut and train (cardio and weights) or maintain calories and train because i dont really need to lose the weight. Any help is appreciated! (I hope this is enough info, if not I apologize!) Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| I can somehow only do LESS than before... why? Posted: 13 Jun 2020 02:49 AM PDT About half a year ago I used to be able to bike 2 hours at setting 9 (quite a lot of resistance on my stationary bike) with effort - but do-able. These days I struggle to bike 30 minutes at setting 7. This is odd because I've added weightlifting and strength training to my workouts - so shouldn't I be strong enough to do MORE? The same with weightlifting itself. I use dumbbells and last week I did 4 sets of 12 reps with 6kg dumbbells (biceps/etc/you name it). This week I struggled with this so much! It took me an hour to finish the damn set and I had to take much more breaks than usually. I don't understand either of these things - shouldn't it become EASIER to do difficult things the more you do them? I've been working out 4-5 times a week (the same muscle groups I'm targeting in the examples above) but I feel like, at least with the biking, I'm getting weaker. Can someone explain this? Is there even an explanation for it? What am I doing wrong? [link] [comments] |
| How much does each muscle weigh on average? Posted: 13 Jun 2020 02:31 AM PDT We've all heard the usual thing about muscle weighing more than fat.But if you were to take the average man, how much would each of his muscles weigh?How would the chest compare to the quads and the tricep to the bicep? I know this changes from person to person but I just want a general idea. This came into my mind as I was thinking about calisthenics athletes that say that they don't train calves as they could weigh them down in certain movements, but I never really thought about how much calves weighed.

| Are mountain climbers more effective when they are performed slowly or more fast? Posted: 12 Jun 2020 05:51 PM PDT If you want to work your body to the fullest, which would you want to do? Would you want to just pull one leg up, put it back, then keep alternating, or do them quickly, constantly alternating legs, which could be considered the running of mountain climbers. Which are more effective? [link] [comments] |
| Is running or cycling better for cardio Posted: 13 Jun 2020 12:26 AM PDT I feel like I burn more calories while running, but cycling is more fun and less exhausting. Also cycling is better for quadriceps, and running is better for calves I guess. Which one do you prefer? [link] [comments] |
| 2 in 1 exercise bike and cross trainer! Posted: 12 Jun 2020 10:55 PM PDT Does anyone know a good 2 in 1 exercise bike and cross trainer I could buy in the UK, preferably one that doesn't make too much notice but we can cope with it if it does. Thanks, I appreciate it! [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone used extreme isometrics for an extended period of time and what benefits have you seen? Posted: 12 Jun 2020 09:20 PM PDT I have mainly used lunges, pull-up holds, and push-up/dip holds. I have noticed I feel more fluid and mobile. Curious if anyone has seen performance benefits. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 12:40 AM PDT I'm 14 and I'm looking for workouts that work out more on the pecs. I don't have any weights, so I'm looking for more of body weight based work outs. [link] [comments] |
| What exercises should I do for this? Posted: 12 Jun 2020 10:18 PM PDT Hey! I've been trying to find answers and Youtube videos, but my luck hasn't been the best. My question is: what should my ideal routine be/what exercises should I do to get a slimmer waist and wider hips/eliminate hip dips? I'm trying to lose a bit of weight, and my thighs are what I hate the most :( unfortunately, a lot of wider hips workouts also target building bulkier legs, which is totally not what I'm going for. I'm a complete beginner (as you can probably tell), so don't be too harsh. Thank you already! Any reply is much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 12:13 AM PDT I have stumbled upon a video of russian guy, who states that he has developed his chest muscles (and they are astonishing) ONLY by doing dips and push-ups. Is that possible in real life? Have not seen anything like this before. What's your opinion? [link] [comments] |
