| All of a sudden I can’t bench as much as I used to and it’s been 2 months? Posted: 15 Aug 2020 08:52 PM PDT Back in June, I was benching 5x5 with 185lbs and I felt great. One day I went into the gym to do my regular workout and I could barely push 3x5 with 155lbs before my chest would give out. I just shrugged it off as a bad day and completed the rest of my workout feeling normal. Next week when I got to the bench the same thing happened. I dropped the weight down a bit and tried to work my way back up to my usual weight with no success; I couldn't improve. I have been eating relatively the same, sleeping the same, and I feel fine otherwise. I have improved my other main compound lifts like deadlifts and squat. What do I do? Take a few weeks off of lifting? Keep lifting lower weight and eventually I'll get better? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Aug 2020 08:35 PM PDT I've noticed a large difference in two different leg press machines. I've been pushing 90lbs weights on the old school leg press. The one where you have to load up the weights yourself. Then I'll go push 150lbs on the actual machine where you push the plate, and your body moves back. So what's the difference and which gives better results? [link] [comments] |
| Weight training advice for a beginner:) Posted: 16 Aug 2020 02:16 AM PDT Please don't be mean, I'm just a beginner. Hey there :) I'm trying to lose weight and gain muscle. (I'm overweight btw) I have lost almost 20lbs in the past 3-4 months. I've got new dumbbells of 5kg each. (Total 10kg) and some resistance bands. So here's my routine, Every day I try to walk 15k steps USING DUMBBELLS:
So my question is: Is it OKAY to do the above dumbbells workout 6 days a week? 4-sets with 10-12 reps? I'm scared of over-training my muscles. Also, i try to get at least 80g of proteins. :) I weigh 195lb. Edit: I'm 23/F , Vegetarian [link] [comments] |
| Vitamine distribution over the day Posted: 16 Aug 2020 01:52 AM PDT Does any of you know in what interval one should consume vitamins A-Z over the day? Like if I ate all the vitamins I need in the morning would it suffice, or do I have to eat some at Noon and evening too still? Regards! [link] [comments] |
| Are these exercises useful at all? Posted: 16 Aug 2020 03:47 AM PDT I'm male, 24 yo, 5'9'' (1.80m), 154 lbs (70 kg). I always had a pronounced belly and for a few time I have been trying to get a flat stomach with no visible improvement. For now I do every day 100 sit-ups, which don't make my abs feel tired anymore, and a plank for two minutes. Do you think if I continue doing this exercises in a daily basis I will get any improvement or not at all? Edit: For the record, I don't want to get pronounced abs or lose weight, just flatten my stomach. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Aug 2020 12:16 AM PDT I'm a beginner plus gyms are closed so I have nowhere to go except my house. So my question is: should I do squats the same days I run? Or should I do squats one day then the next run? I usually do 50-100 squats without a problem and can run up to 15-20 mins. [link] [comments] |
| Best way to build forearm muscle Posted: 16 Aug 2020 01:22 AM PDT I'm a 14 year old boy and I am wondering on the best techniques and routines for building muscle in my forearms? Any and all advice welcome! [link] [comments] |
| What muscles are Body Beast's Straight Leg Deadlift supposed to work out? Posted: 16 Aug 2020 12:47 AM PDT https://youtu.be/iSyrPCSTafE?t=101 at the 1:41 min mark you can see the exercise in question. This is supposed to be part of a leg workout day. Unfortunately, when I type out "straight leg deadlift" on Google, I'm getting results for what appears to be the stiff leg deadlift or variations of it that don't look anything like what's being shown in Beast Body. The reason I ask is because I tried doing that particular exercise and I did not feel like it was working out my legs. In fact, I felt it was hitting my lower back which immediately raised alarms for me since this is supposed to be a leg workout. I try to make it a point to keep my back straight with these kinds of exercises and I used very light weights as I tried to make sure I had the form right. Anyone who has done this particular exercise or has experience with it, is it normal to feel it just above the hip in the lower back area? [link] [comments] |
| Confused about reddit 6day pPL Posted: 16 Aug 2020 03:23 AM PDT If I can do the 4x5, 1x5+ OHP pretty easily with something like the bar and 2.5kg on each side. But when it comes to doing OHP with the same weight, 3x8-12, I struggle a lot more and can barely do it. Am I supposed to use lower weights on the hypertrophy excercises? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Aug 2020 02:42 AM PDT I was diagnosed with cancer in my junior year of high school and had to quit soccer after 12 years. Now I'm a healthy senior in college. I managed to get physically fit again after all of my muscles atrophied and I even placed in a 5k. But I want to get back into soccer. My problem is that I no longer have that 12 years of built up leg strength that I used to. I can run well but I'm having trouble regaining the quad strength I need. Where I used to put free kicks past midfield I now feel super tight and pull the muscle even with a ton of stretching before and after. What could I do to improve? [link] [comments] |
| Should the weights be the same in the lateral raise and rear delt fly? Posted: 16 Aug 2020 01:29 AM PDT I use slightly lighter weights on the rear delt fly as opposed to the lateral raise. Are their weights supposed to weigh the same, or is this quite normal for you guys? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Aug 2020 01:11 AM PDT I am due to start a bulk and I am trying to work out my macros for the next 9 months or so. I have used several different calculators and they're all showing different results? What is the most accurate and reliable calculator that I can use? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
