| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 03:16 PM PDT Hey everyone, Let's say over the next few months I wanted to really focus on vertical pull exercises. I might add pull ups, chin ups, neutral grip pull ups, and also even close and wide grip variations as well. Would it be best to spend an entire day doing all of these, or mix them into my other workout routines over the course of a week or so? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jul 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] |
| Is it considered a partial rep if I don't lockout my elbows on the bench press? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 12:20 AM PDT My problem is that if I fully lockout my elbows on the bench press - my shoulders instantly roll forward, ruining my set-up. But if I don't fully extend my arms, then I'm kind of not doing full range of motion, right? So that sucks too. I couldn't find a form videos that would address this issue, and google only comes up with "if you're locking out - you get a rest, so it's up to you if you want that or not", which is not what I'm looking for. So do you lockout your elbows on the bench press or not? [link] [comments] |
| Will doing IF on a diet break still yield the same benefits? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 02:48 AM PDT I've been cutting for 16 weeks. I'm now taking a 3 week diet break where I eat at maintenance in order to give my mind and body a break and reset my hormones. Two of the objectives during a diet break is to bring cortisol down and leptin up. However, I've always preferred doing IF 20:4. I'm curious whether IF is stressful enough for the body to raise cortisol and be counterproductive to a diet break. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 10:20 PM PDT Hey all, I'm 15 and I've been lifting pretty consistently for about a year. My arms have always been pretty shaky when holding the bar above my chest even on pretty low weights that I can do 10+ reps of easily. It's been happening since I started and never really went away, it's not really hindering me much but I'm just wondering why it might be. I like to consider myself pretty fit so I don't know why they shake so much. Any input appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Failed my 1RM on Bench today, next step/thoughts? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 04:29 PM PDT So today was my max day after a training block specifically to up my bench. I did this same program earlier this year and I hit my goal (310lbs) and this time I ran it back with a goal of adding just the 5lbs... to ya know get that milestone three 45's on each side. Warm-up was as followed 45lbs 1x15 135 1x10 185 1x5 225 1x3 255 1x1 285 1x1 315 1x1 failed 315 1x1 failed (2nd try) 285lbs went up so quick and fast I thought there was no way I'd miss my attempt. My wife who was spotting me said I was literally an inch away from locking it out on my 2nd attempt, but after I spent so much on my 1RM the minute I felt it stall I basically had her pull it the whopping inch. My CNS was spent though so I didn't think a 3rd attempt would have been safe. I guess my question is... I don't want to just immediately restart a program for the same number I was so close to. My week has been super stressful at work, a home bathroom renovation that's been a pain in the ass, so my cortisol is up and my rest has been pretty subpar. I should be able to get some good sleep friday night, and I was thinking of trying again on Saturday. I think I'm just looking for some encouragement and thoughts on what to do after failing a 1RM you trained hard for. I've been lifting long enough to know it's part of training, you fail, you get better etc... however I'm still pretty pissed and dejected right now. Was my warm-up too much, too little? Thanks for any help [link] [comments] |
| I'm looking for female powerlifters to follow on Instagram. Posted: 17 Jul 2020 03:55 AM PDT I'm looking for women physically similar to me to be realistically inspired by.

| Can you tone up on the keto diet? Posted: 17 Jul 2020 03:13 AM PDT I've lost 3 stone and I wasn't on any specific diet to be honest I was just eating pretty good and exercising loads and I managed to lose 3 stone, I still ate carbs and stuff as normal, recently I've noticed i am getting abs on my stomach just little indents but they are definitely there, I know you have to lose overall body weight for abs to show so I've been doing loads of planks and stuff along with my regular cardio/squats/weights, I just started doing keto and have lost a few more lbs will this help my abs show or will it not work?

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 10:22 PM PDT Gday, I'm looking to start hitting the gym 6 days a week again. I'm a bit bored of my old routine and wondering if anyone has any good programs they could recommend. I'm not training for anything particular but run 3 times a week and will be doing a marathon in 4 months. [link] [comments] |

Seems like it is $25/ month, Recently they changed a bunch of member options and I am confused regarding the 4 different plans. Can anyone elaborate on that?

| What do you guys think my max squat would be? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:30 PM PDT 17 years old 160 lb here, been training with bulgarian split squats at home for the past couple months because of miss Rona shutting down the gyms and thought I'd test my max today. I got 180 lb on one leg for 8 reps. What do you guys think that would translate to for max squat? [link] [comments] |
