| How and when to introduce children to strength training Posted: 13 Aug 2020 08:21 AM PDT Everyone knows that training is good for your health, and I don't have children yet. But I thought about how and when to introduce them to strength training. Fitness studios are set up to get teens I think, but it could even be healthy to start soon. But how soon can / should I start? Or would it be better to early-start with swimming, which then cuts over to strength training at a specific age / height / interest level? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 14 Aug 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:

| Will working a blue collar job get you fit? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:11 PM PDT I see a lot of stuff saying it will damage your body, but wouldn't being physically active all of the time make you stronger as opposed to a sedentary office job? [link] [comments] |
| As a beginner, is it advisable to exclusively train arms in a gym session? Posted: 14 Aug 2020 02:19 AM PDT Just for context, 18 y/o here who has been gymming for around 1-2 months, 3 times a week so far. Currently, my goal when it comes to going to the gym is just to generally build bigger muscles and gain overall strength. One of my biggest problem areas has been my arms because they're noticeably really thin and disproportionate to the rest of my body. As a result, I have been mostly exclusively training arms so far. Every week, I train only biceps for one session, only triceps for the second session, and the third session is usually rotated between back/chest/legs. Furthermore, I have been avoiding the big 3 lifts (squats/deadlifts/bench presses) for safety reasons. However, I've recently been informed by many of my friends that this is not a good way to go about doing things. As someone looking to build muscle in areas especially my arms, should I start doing more compound lifts and ditch the arm specific exercises, or continue my current workout split as it is to ensure maximal arm growth?

| Why should you do any other chest exercise if barbell bench press is the best? Posted: 14 Aug 2020 12:14 AM PDT This might be a dumb question but yeah whats the point of doing machine presses, dumbell presses? You could say the same with overheadpress and shoulders? Or deadlift and back. Wouldnt it be better to increase the volume of these major lifts? [link] [comments] |
| Switching from regular preworkout to stim free preworkout Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:38 PM PDT I used to use a preworkout that had about 300 mg of caffeine, among other things. I have then started using the caffeine free version of the same preworkout. So far, no tingling or jittery effects and I can actually fall asleep at night. Problem is I can't lift as much as I used to. But what I'm doing is actually using less weight and more reps. Is there a downside to this? Is this a good way to manage my load at the gym?

| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:04 PM PDT Hello people, I recently bought an olympic bar with 150 KG ( Double my bodyweight) and currently can lift 140. Bumper prices have shot up and I'm not sure I'll be able to save for 50 kg more in the next few months. What variations do you recommend to make up for the lack of weight? Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:49 PM PDT I want a sandbag/powerbag to use in my garden, been googling my options. Looking at these 2: ^ But the capacity on that one isn't very heavy at all https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3087697?clickSR=slp:term:duffle%20bags:2:1047:2 ^ do you think something like this would this be strong enough to hold maybe 30kg of gravel or sand? Or should I buy one specifically designed for the job? Appreciate any and all input/recommendations. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 03:37 PM PDT I am 5'3" female who would like to start jumping rope but I am not sure which brand to buy, or how I can get one that's the right length for my height. Any help is appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Is there a neural limit to how much we can lift in one workout? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 09:31 AM PDT Idk how to explain it. For example. Squats, barbell rows, other back workouts, ab crunches, then when I got to chest, I'm fading out from just 2 reps. On the 2nd, I did one and nearly feinted. Though not really. Just the lightheaded feeling I'm trying to describe. Anyway. Can anyone give me insight to this? I'm sorry I couldn't word it more clearly. [link] [comments] |
| Stretching 30 min after completing a workout? Is it too late? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 12:04 PM PDT We've all done it. Whether you're in a hurry, having a conversation, or just to into your workout playlist, we all forget to stretch sometimes. Or at least I do. Today, 30 mins passed between the end of my workout, and the moment I realized I forgot to stretch. I went ahead and stretched anyway, but this got me wondering, was it already too late? After a workout, how long to you have before your "post-workout stretch" becomes just a "stretch"? Should you go ahead and do it anyway? Or is it just a waste of time? Edit: Wow TIL stretching is a controversial issue! [link] [comments] |
