| Why cant I feel my chest muscles doing work?? Posted: 30 Aug 2020 11:52 PM PDT I've been doing dumbell presses (on the floor because I dont have a bench) and I cant feel my chest muscles doing any work. My chest has never been sore, I feel like my arms are doing all the work and they get sore the next day, but never my chest. Can you please help me?? Thanks _^ [link] [comments] |
| What's your opinion on Push/Pull splits? Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:08 AM PDT I've been running a Push/Pull/Legs split for about 1.5 years and I'm looking for something a little different. I've heard about Push/Pull splits a while a go and I'm wondering if I should give them a try. Basically all the volume from Leg days from the original PPL is allocated into Push and Pull days according to the specific movement pattern (e.g. squats on push days, deadlifts on pull days). I think this is a pretty good idea since I tend to feel quite exhausted by the end of leg days (I only have access to barbells and dumbbells; no machines) and the remaining sets feel like "wasted sets". Also there is an increase in frequency from 2x per week to 3x per week which should be slightly beneficial for hypertrophy. Let me know what you think about this split; if you've ever tried it, what are the pros/cons etc. It's not as popular as PPL, so there's not as much information about it. [link] [comments] |
| Help with changing/improving my current diet to achieve my goals. Posted: 30 Aug 2020 11:30 PM PDT I need some advice to tweak my current diet to achieve the outcome I'm looking for. I'd appreciate anyone's help on the matter. I'm Male, 22, 178cm, 64kg who is moderately active. I run 2km down to my local park and back 5 days a week and do moderate weight training 4-5 days a week. Other than that I sit at a desk most of the time as that is my job. I'm borderline skinny, but I have stubborn fat around my belly like everyone does. What I'm looking for is to drop that belly fat so I can look more defined and also build muscle mass. I'm not looking to get super ripped, but toned enough to show that I'm in decent shape more than anything. I eat pretty much the same thing every day, this is my current diet: Breakfast: Oats, 1 Banana or 1 Apple (or half of each), Ground Cinnamon and a splash of Full Cream Milk Lunch: 3 Eggs, 1 Wholemeal Toast spread with 1/4 of an Avocado. Dinner: 1 cup of Brown Rice, roughly 70g of Mixed Frozen Vegetables (Peas, Carrots and Corn), 3 Fish Fingers (Birds Eye) and a tablespoon of Sweet Chilli Sauce Snacks: Can of Tuna, Protein Shake (Vital Strength), maybe some Yoghurt and Fruit or Toast. Currently this equals to around 6000 Kilojoules, 75g Protein, 140g Carbs, 20g Fibre, 38g Sugar, 42g Fat. This would be fine if I was trying to do a calorie deficit, but not too sure if that's good if I also want to build muscle as there is not a lot of protein. Personally I think I should be focusing more on building mass more than losing weight, but I'm not too sure. I've been doing this meal plan for 1 month, I've dropped 1Kg, and look a little more defined. Can anyone help me on improving this? I know what I'm doing for weight training determines a lot of things, but I'd like to get my diet right first, as I feel that's more important starting off. I'd like to add chicken into this diet too, maybe get a 4th meal out of it. I don't really like to snack as I'd prefer larger meals to feel fuller for longer. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

| Doing the compound lifts first thing in a set or not for max muscle growth Posted: 30 Aug 2020 10:10 AM PDT Just started a program by John meadows and the compound movements are always the 2nd exercise of the workout after a "easier" but still hard exercise, does this help to prevent injury in cost of a little of muscle gain? What are your thoughts [link] [comments] |
| My Close Grip Bench Press Much Stronger Than Regular Grip Bench Press Posted: 30 Aug 2020 04:44 PM PDT Hi, i had problem on my Bench Press. My Close Grip Bench Press about 25 KG (55 LBS) heavier than my regular grip Bench Press. My hands are super close to each other in Bench Press (about 5 cm difference other arm) this is the only position that i've feel strong and much comfortable. When doing regular grip bench press, i feel like my rotator cuffs gonna crush while bringing the bar to the my pecs. I'm 18 years old and at about 5'11 feet (1.80M) height weighting about 175 LBS(80 KG). My regular grip bench press PR is 80 KG Close-Grip Bench(Super close) PR 105 KG. In dumbbells, my PR is 45 KG each (100 LBS) for 4 reps. I think i had strong triceps, my triceps are much bigger than my pecs. Is that normal? What should i do? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
