Do you burn more calories by working out in the heat? Posted: 05 Jun 2020 03:40 PM PDT I've got a garage gym in Texas, so you can imagine what it's like working out with no AC and the garage doors open with nothing but me, the weight, and the sun. I actually kinda like working out in the heat because it makes it feel like I'm working out harder and doing more work. However, I'm having a hard time finding any articles or research online about whether I'm burning more calories by working out in 90 degree weather. I'm curious how many extra calories if any are being used, and how many are used at different temperatures. I would appreciate any help, and any links to articles to point me in the right direction. Thanks! submitted by /u/dannylongshlong [link] [comments]

KB halos- just a warmup excercise? Could it be done heavy to build strength/size? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 01:22 AM PDT Hey all, so been looking into the halo excercise and all info online talks about it being a warm up etc. As it hits all 3 delts in one movement, and I do love an efficient workout, what are peoples thoughts on turning these into working sets with a decent weight? Undue risk of injury? Not actually very effective? Etc Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/GodGoblin [link] [comments]

Does type of exercise matter so long as you're working hard enough? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 03:59 AM PDT For regular people, does the type of exercise you do generally matter so long as you work hard enough e.g. if what you do achieves this from the NHS website Adults should: aim to be physically active every day. Any activity is better than none, and more is better still do strengthening activities that work all the major muscles (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms) on at least 2 days a week do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week I worry too much on wondering if I'm doing the "best" thing and want to just get on with it. submitted by /u/battlestations_1 [link] [comments]

Why am I losing muscle mass even though I haven't changed anything in my fitness and eating routine? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 03:54 AM PDT Hi everyone,I've been doing weight lifting for the past year. I am 30 F and I used to be quite underweight for my height (114 lbs for 5'6) and I've managed to gain some weight so far and am at 123.5 lbs. I've noticed that for the past month I am unable to keep my muscle mass and seem to not be able to add additional muscle mass to my body, even though I try hard to do so.Here's a picture from when I've managed to shape my upper body - https://imgur.com/IJZzElc I've been slowly loosing muscle mass since then for the past month. Nothing has changed - haven't changed my fitness routine and I haven't changed anything in my eating habits. I am calculating my macros and I am familiar with the ways of putting more weight on. I am afraid that the workouts I am doing are all the same and my body got accustomized to them and I don't stress my muscles enough in order to grow more. Usually I do biceps curls with dumbbells or a bar, I do different variations for triceps, I perform push ups, overhead press and bench press for my upper body but I always seem to repeat the same exercises for my upper body and maybe they don't work no more. The only thing I modify slightly is the weight. I'd really appreciate your advice on how to stress my muscles more and with what in order for them to grow more and shape more. As I just keep losing muscle mass and weight. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/paolinamm [link] [comments]

Is 3 sets per muscle group, 3 times a week enough? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 03:49 AM PDT Hey guys. I'm an intermediate lifter, I can make linear gains on some exercises but not others. I was thinking of doing 3 sets per muscle group 3 times a week for upper body. For example, I'll have 3 upper body days, and I'll be doing 3 sets of: horizontal push, horizontal pull, vertical push and vertical pull and then 3 sets of biceps and 3 of triceps. Would this be enough to lead to gains, or do I need more volume? Thank you guys. submitted by /u/oversize_rhyme [link] [comments]

Excess Calories for Muscle Growth Posted: 06 Jun 2020 02:58 AM PDT I am wanting to of course tone what muscle I have as well as grow a bit over time while losing fat at the same time. It seems to be working so far. I've found conflicting opinions as to whether or not a positive increase in calories (5-10%) is needed to grow muscle or if the body will use its own stored fat sources until down to like a 16% body fat level for a female and therefore excess calories aren't needed. So, I guess I'll just have to try and see.. I'm just wanting to make sure I'm going to be adding the proper amount for the maximum .5-1 lb of muscle possible to be gained a month. So, if I burn 200 calories exercising for a day I would then need to add that on top of my maintenance (BMR) calories in ADDITION to an extra 5-10% of an increase on my maintenance calories, amounting to an extra 300 calories for that day on top of my maintenance (BMR)? Thank you SO much to anyone taking the time to read and/or respond to this! submitted by /u/IMeganElisabeth [link] [comments]

Need an accountability partner Posted: 06 Jun 2020 02:36 AM PDT I'm from a small town where health and fitness isn't a popular thing. I have taken a few guys on my journey with me but I'm checking in on them all the time. I'm not trying to sound proud or anything but I need someone to raise my game. Someone to check in on me, talk macros, healthy lifestyle choices, lifting, CrossFit, running, biking etc. My asl (lol) is 30/m/Ohio. Would love to have someone to bounce things off of and just keep each other accountable, through texting/instagram. Basically I need a friend haha! submitted by /u/freese3130 [link] [comments]

If I drink whey isolate (fast digesting) with milk (slow digesting) does that mean my net protein intake rate will be slow as well? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 02:11 AM PDT I usually drink whey with milk as a post workout drink because with milk it just tastes better plus I get a little bit extra casein but how does that get digested? Is it like whey will be digested fast and casein will keep getting digested slowly so you get a double combo Or is it like they both mix so now it'll take time to digest as casein is slow digesting so whey isolate benefit is redundant? submitted by /u/east_arora [link] [comments]
