| Is it okay to be on a cut for more than 6 months? Posted: 09 Jul 2020 11:07 AM PDT I've been on a cut now for around 6 months, with the intent of loosing a pound a week. Started at ~172-174 lbs, and now I'm at 147 lbs (5'9 24 yr). High protein diet with moderate carbs & fats. I've been progressing in all of my lifts (all dumbbell workouts b/c quarantine) and feel like I'm still gaining some muscle, even though I'm on a deficit. I plan to go another few weeks until I get to around 140 lbs then go on a lean bulk. But I'm just wondering if its okay to be on a calorie deficit for this long? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jul 2020 07:33 PM PDT I've been working out for about two weeks and i thought it would get better but i still feel weird. I'm noticing a little bit of results but i am terrified to go past limits, or at least I don't know if I'm doing anything right. I have a problem with feeling watched, and even though I don't workout in public and I'm home alone, how do i get to feeling less embarrassed of taking space? How do i become more confident and get to a point of feeling comfortable to start taking walks and helping myself? [link] [comments] |
| My weights and reps feel all over the place. Posted: 09 Jul 2020 09:50 AM PDT The gyms are open again and I decided to try a new P/P/L routine as I've been only able to do a simple 5x5 routine at home. I went back to the gym for the first time the other day and I kinda walked away from the session feeling unsatisfied I felt like the weight I was lifting was all over the place thus resulting in my reps being all over the place. Just didn't feel fluid or maybe it was that I felt like I didn't know what I was doing because of that. Let's say I do dumbbell curls my goal is 4x10 by set 3 or 4 I'm not reaching the full reps of 10 and my form is weak. Should I be focusing on doing the full set and reps? If so, should i drop down from the weight I was failing at? Last question is how do I know when I'm ready to increase weights? Most dumbbells / cables/ bench can go by increments of 5lb increases. Should I feel it when I'm ready as in the last set with full form is now easy? I feel like I got the routine down, maximizing my time by have the time for the whole routine line up with my schedule is all good. Just what weight to start at and when to increase the weight I'm still not sure on. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for pointers to make sure I’m doing y fitness routine right Posted: 08 Jul 2020 10:58 PM PDT I'm another lowkey beginner who decided to get into shape during the lockdown. I'm a 22 yo, 6'2". I was 63 kgs (139 lbs) prior to starting, terrible diet, and I have a pretty high metabolism. Over 3 months, I've somehow come up to 70 kgs (154 lbs) by just eating a ton and working out as often as possible. I've been using this and stick to it pretty regularly. On the gap days, I stick to my pushups and certain other band exercises. I can do 2 free pull-ups and then my shoulders kinda give way lol. But that's a pretty decent upgrade from zero I think I recently invested in a 6 kg kettlebell, following mostly YouTube advice (looking at you Pavel Tsatsouline). My only problem is that I take a LOT of time to put on any weight, and by it any chance I miss a couple of days, it seems like I lose muscle mass immediately. It's a lot of effort and I want to know what I can do to mitigate. Gonna start incorporating this kb workout into my weekly routines, about twice a week I'm looking for pointers as to what I'm doing right or wrong. Any help appreciated! [link] [comments] |
