| Does anybody else always feel sick and like crap when you eat before working out? Posted: 22 Jul 2020 01:57 AM PDT Yeah, no matter what I eat, I always feel so sick after. I had eggs this morning which is pretty clean and not heavy on the stomach and I did my back and shoulder bodyweight workout at home. During and after the workout I feel really sick. I do suffer from GERD so I don't know if it's related to that. Does anybody else feel the same way as I do? [link] [comments] |

| So I guess I'm lactose intolerant now (42M) Posted: 22 Jul 2020 04:38 AM PDT I'm having to rethink my breakfasts and my protein sources now. I'm from a farming rural background and love my full fat milk so this is a tough thing to come to terms with, but after a process of elimination I've found I've become lactose intolerant in my 40s. I run before breakfast, come home and eat porridge (made with milk) and have a coffee. Within an hour I'm gassy, a little bloated and have had a trip to the toilet. I would blame the coffee, but I guess I was putting off the inevitable realisation. It was the same with my protein shakes. I had a good supplier for a few years, preferring whey based proteins but I like to mix through milk rather than water and an hour later I was gassy and bound for the toilet again. I knew high protein could have a similar affect, so kept keeping lactose intolerance out of my mind. Finally stubbornness was put to one side, I got lactose free milk and within two days my guts are saying thanks buddy. I know its going to take a few weeks to fully adjust, plus I threw out my old protein powders and I'm waiting on some samples of vegan and lactose free to arrive so i can see which ones taste better and do what I need. I do feel stupid having pushed obvious signs out of my head over the last 2-3 years, but as I'm getting older, exercise AND diet go hand in hand, so I can't just hope one balances out the other.

| Is gaining 1 kg (2.2 lbs) per week too much? Posted: 22 Jul 2020 02:28 AM PDT I'm currently running on PPL routine which is working great for me, I started to eat at a caloric surplus (2500+) back in June. What I've noticed in the last 3-4 weeks is that I'm gaining weight way too much fast. Here is a record of my weight progress since I started in June (Im 5'7):
Should I ease up on my fat intake? Or is this normal for a beginner? Any advice is appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jul 2020 02:10 AM PDT Hi everyone, My rugby season has been delayed by a couple months which means I get to lift for longer. I'm looking to do a serious month long bulk (don't want to overdo it and be struggling at the beginning of the season). I'm 29, weigh 84kg, around 18-20% body fat, and am probably looking to have a 300-500kcal daily surplus. I've got myself a mass gainer (ON Serious Mass), have a home gym and can lift 5-6 days a week consistently. My main questions are about the split that would be most effective. I usually train strength (5x5, 5x3), so my hypertrophy knowledge is a bit lacking. Should I do a PPL split with more volume? Bro split? Something in between? Help me r/Fitness, you're my only hope! If anyone has routines that they'd recommend, articles/papers to read, that'd be great. Any nutritional advice would also be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jul 2020 11:53 PM PDT Anyone have any advice for this? I've been lifting almost every day for 3 years and I've never not enjoyed it before. I don't seem to find power training fun anymore. [link] [comments] |
| Complete Beginner To Lifting, Need Advice About What Program To Follow Posted: 22 Jul 2020 02:23 AM PDT I'm looking for someone to recommend me a solid beginner program for someone (that being me) who is a complete newbie in regards to muscle growth and development through natural bodybuilding. I've done a bunch of research, so I know all about how compound movements are supposed to be the best, I know about how much protein I should be consuming, I know about progressive overload, and I know that I need to follow a program that is structured so I can see results. Right now, what I have in mind is a PPL split. Jeremy Ethier and Jeff Nippard did a in-depth video series about this on YouTube, so I know what exercises to perform. I would just have to look up the proper execution of each specific exercise so I can see what the proper form is. I thought the videos were high quality, and contained important vital information that would support me on my fitness journey towards growing stronger. I also was thinking about this https://thefitness.wiki/routines/r-fitness-basic-beginner-routine/. What I find weird about that one is they suggest pullups when apparently that's a really hard exercise and it takes a long time to get down, and a decent amount of people who lift still might not be able to do them? I'm just looking for someone to advise me what program I should follow. You can suggest something completely new that I've haven't heard of as well. I'm open to whatever is best fit for me and my situation. Once last thing I wanna make note of is, I'm pretty weak right now (hence why I wanna lift so I can change that). I can barely do 10 pushups in a row with really bad form because I'm not going down all the way. I wanna do a body recomp for about 8 weeks max because I'm skinny fat, and then after that start bulking. I was thinking about getting decent at pushups before I actually hit the gym, so I can at least guarantee that I'll be able to bench the bar when I first start. I feel like I could maybe bench the bar right now, but only for a couple reps max (that's how weak I am, I have really skinny arms). If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I'm really firm and dead set on taking this as serious as possible. I know I have a long journey ahead, but this is really what I've decided I want more than anything. This is my main goal and focus is life right now is to change my body to a stronger version.

| Posted: 21 Jul 2020 10:07 PM PDT I recently hurt my meniscus. My doctor told me to not train legs or do anything that will worsen by condition. He said that it is okay if I carefully train my upper body. How can I keep my legs proportional to my upper body? He said that walking is fine and that cycling is fine as well. Can I build leg muscles by simply walking 20 KM everyday or cycling for 1 hour? [link] [comments] |
