| Should women train different than men? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:55 PM PDT As the title says. I plan to bring my girl to the gym as she got a little out of her dorm. I am in a pretty good shape overall, and i see these girls at the gym doing these fancy exercises for legs, but and so on. Now, should my girl train that way too? Or she is fine dieting and doing the same split as I do? (Chest&triceps, back biceps, legs, shoulders and traps) ? I mention that she is a completely noob into this.(not that I am some expert anyway) Thank you very much. [link] [comments] |
| Ab and obliques frequency for hypertrophy? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:33 AM PDT How may weighted sets for each one should I do a week i.e. I currently do ab crunches, rollouts and hanging leg raises 3 by 12, 3 days a week. Can I do more? Or should I just up the intensity? [link] [comments] |
| Dead hangs when morbidly obese? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 01:32 PM PDT I'm stalling out on Deadlifts because of my grip on my left side, I'm going to add farmer walks my days to help it out. But I want to add dead hangs as well, the only issue is that I am currently 345 lbs, My deadlift is 255. Would dead hang be an okay option? How would should I add the sets? 3 set of how ever long I can hold on? [link] [comments] |
| Is it necessary to "re-sensitize" to training? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:04 AM PDT I recently watched this video by renaissance periodisation and it got me wondering if a 2-4 week rest period off training after every block (as mentioned at 3:15 in the video) is needed for beginners - intermediates. I am aware that it would probably be necessary for advanced athletes to do this in order to see continued growth, but as a beginner - intermediate, would taking 1 deload week be sufficient?

| I have 20 minutes spare in the morning and one kettlebell. What are some workouts I could do? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 01:16 AM PDT I don't enjoy follow along YouTube videos for kettlebell workouts. What are some routines you have made yourself with just a kettle bell? I feel a bit unsure about what kind of exercises to work with in such a short amount of time! TIA [link] [comments] |
| How can I implement cardio in this program? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:54 AM PDT First and foremost, I'm pretty new to training so I apologise for my lack of knowledge but I gotta learn some how. Anyways on to my question. So I found this PPL program that was posted here a while ago. This one this got me wondering how can I or even if I should incorporate cardio. I'd appreciate any help! Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:47 AM PDT I've seen several strategies, some implement a stretch day in their routine, some do it at the end of their workout when muscles are hot, and some delay it one or two days after the workout to have a rested muscle, also some do it right before exercising. I'm interested to see what are the different strategies out there and what is the rationale behind them. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:55 PM PDT I've been lifting consistently for about 1 year now, started on the beginner routine and then this past March transitioned to (what I thought was) the 5/3/1 for beginner routine, along with daily cardio (30-60 minutes biking or running). The mistake I just realized I've been making is I made it a 4-day/week routine by accidentally adding an extra day of OHP/Deadlifts. So my schedule is basically this: Mon/Thurs: 5/3/1 + 5x5 FSL for Bench/Squats, + assistance work Tues/Fri: 5/3/1 + 5x5 FSL for OHP/Deadlifts, + assistance work My upper body manages alright other than a bit of shoulder soreness, but a few hours after my workouts, my legs feel tired just walking up a flight of stairs. Even over the weekend I don't feel like my legs ever fully recover. Am I overdoing it with lifting? Is it the daily cardio? Do I need to just eat more? I'm ~145 lbs, 5'10", have visible abs but nowhere near shredded, have been eating 120+g protein and ~2500-2700 cals/day since March (surplus of ~200 cals, gaining 1-2 lbs/month). My lifts aren't super heavy, TMs are as follows: Bench: 155 lbs Squat: 160 lbs OHP: 85 lbs Deadlifts: 245 lbs I'm not looking to be super-jacked, I'd say my goal weight is ~160 lbs, bench/squat 200+, OHP 100+, stay cardiovascularly fit, and maintain visible abs. Any thoughts on how to keep my legs less tired while maintaining the slow-gains I've been having? [link] [comments] |
| Exercises/Diet for disabled mom Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:30 AM PDT Hello everybody, I don't know where to ask or what to look for to get the right answers so I decided to ask in this subreddit. And please excuse if there are some mistakes in my post since english is not my main language. I just talked to my mom bc she asked me if there are some exercises she can do since she fell yesterday out of her wheelchair and barely could lift herself up. My mom is 50y and has cerebral palsy since birth, that means she's sitting almost all day and can only walk around the flat with a crutch. I told her it would be good if we could achieve some weight loss since that's a problem she is facing since years know. To be clear though she is not fat or even really chubby. It's only a few kilos that have to go. A diet would be the best solution here would it? Also some exercises to gain some basic strengh in her arms and to help with the weight loss would be nice. I got some dumbbells but even with no weights its too hard for her. I really appreciate any help, thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:25 PM PDT After a 2 week break from working out due to a minor back strain, how long will it take for me to look as big as I was? To avoid re-injury i've been using lighter weights. Im aware me looking smaller is mostly due to my glycogen stores being down so how long will it take for them to fully replenish? Does me using a lighter weight make that process longer? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:21 AM PDT Hi folks! So, I've been cutting since roughly 23rd of May, starting at 256 lbs, ~28-29% body fat (I presume), to currently 216 lbs, at about 19%. The time frame is extremely short for such a change, but it has not been difficult at all, more of a mental torture (which I can easily sustain). I've experienced plateus through this, but usually after a week they break, or I blast through them by an extended fast (48-60h) or a refeed. Well, I've been hovering between 216-217.5 for the past 2 weeks. Since then, I've done numerous extended fasts, upped my cardio significantly and upped my calories slightly to not create a more drastic deficit. Due to current heat wave, my sleep has really suffered (from 6-8 h a day, to 3-4 if I'm lucky) and I started retaining a fair bit of water (I guess increased cortisol...) With this in mind, I've not changed my training regime (Actually upped it, I always train 6 days a week, calisthenics + now back in the gym as of yesterday + started running 3 miles every second day), and kept my caloric intake within 1500-1800 range throughout this whole cut. My diet consists of high protein, high fat and low-moderate carb intake (depending on training). So, I'm confused. 2 weeks is nothing in the long run, however - significant caloric deficit (I've fasted ~ 170 hours in the past 2 weeks while training full time - no i did not loose strength/mass, actually increased my strength on all lifts) created through fasting + dieting has held my weight the same. A lot of people commented that I look visibly leaner, also I noticed vascularity increase in my forearms, so I guess my bf is dropping, so I tend to agree with them, but I simply do not understand why the weight is standing still. I know I cant grow muscle mass, I'm eating far too less to be able to build muscle... My thoughts were - up my calories to eat at maintenance or reverse diet for couple weeks.... However - if I can avoid this, I would, as I can function and train just fine on 1500-1800 calories... Any tips? Before anyone says ''You're eating too much'' - no. I'm not. My diet is TIGHT. My workouts are even tighter. My sleep sucked, but last couple days it has significantly improved, back to 6-7 hours a day. I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like to hear some inputs too! Should I ride this out and expect to have a sudden drop, or do something about it? [link] [comments] |
| Question from a newbie about pancake Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:05 AM PDT Hi, so basically i can't eat pancakes, i used to eat them at breakfast end in the afternoon but now I just can't stand the flavor. Should I force myself to eat them or should I try something different? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:11 AM PDT Hey guys, i've got some questions to my split im doing right now in my gym. Im doing a 3 split (push, pull, legs) im going 5 days in the week and run on the 6th which means i repeat the split but instead of the second leg day i go running. My question is, is there a better split and which exercises do you recommend the most for improvement. For examble is benchpress with long or short dumbbels better? [link] [comments] |
| How to hold a side plank without making my arm go dead? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 07:51 AM PDT I've been doing a range of abdominal exercises regularly for about two years now - crunches, bicycles, sit-ups, leg raises etc. To this day, my least favourite of these exercises are the ones I have to do on both sides i.e the ballet twists (there might be another name for them but my app calls them ballet twists) and the side plank, mostly because they take the longest and because they almost always make the arm I go leaning on dead, even though I've been doing them regularly for a long time. My right side is better than my left, unsurprisingly, but it's still a bit disheartening. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:41 PM PDT Hey team, I'm looking for help setting reasonable goals to achieve my one year goal of being able to do a push-up clap. I'm rather weak upper boy wise; can't even do a proper push up. [link] [comments] |
| Gained 1,6kg in one day after first Workout in years. Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:39 AM PDT In the past 7 seven months i've worked hard on myself, stopped sugar, stopped sugar, stopped excessive eating and thus lost a lot of weight. Additionally i'm on a ca. 1k kcal deficit Diet and loosing about 1-200g a day. Last week i was at 78,2kg. Now on Sunday i went to the gym for the first time in forever (which i did regularly years ago) and pretty much trained until i almost couldn't stand anymore, i ate more that day, but still kept my diet in mind. So the next morning, as usual i step on the scale to find that i weigh 79,8, and i haven't really lost that weight ever since (except what i am loosing in my diet anyway). I doubt that i gained 1,6kg of muscle overnight, could that just be water? By now i'm not really sore anymore. Did anyone have a similar experience when restarting workout? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:59 AM PDT Does anyone else get this??? Sometimes when I squat or deadlift. Curl. Even lean towards the mirror while shaving I get a crazy lower back pump and gets crazy tight. I found pre workout makes it even worse. Can't even make it 3 min in a workout with out it just being filled with lactic acid and blood. It's not pain. I had an mri. Showed nothing [link] [comments] |
| Problems with chest fly machine Posted: 12 Aug 2020 03:47 PM PDT Hi guys, I'm currently having a few problems with the chest fly at my local gym.

| Should I start weightlifting or stick to cardio? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 02:31 PM PDT I've always just done cardio cause I always wanted to up my stamina, however since I've always been really skinny, I'm a 21 male, 5'6, weighing at 53 kg(116 pounds) I've always wanted to know if its worth doing cardio to build my stamina or should I get bigger and muscular? I don't have any reason to do it since I don't do sports or fight but seems like its a lot more work than simple cardio. If I do start lifting how hard is it to start seeing results especially since my metabolic rate is very high. [link] [comments] |
