| How do I know if I need proteins? (30m) Posted: 25 Aug 2020 02:22 AM PDT I started training, mostly legs, during quarantine and I feel better and more secure walking because I had an accident to my knee and the doctor said to develop more muscle. I am not fat just I haven't trained before. I am vegetarian (not vegan) and I assume proteins from vegetables , dairy and (rarely) eggs.I only do 1 hour running x day for now. How do I know if I need more proteins to build more muscle? Also by looking at my legs I don't see any difference, after 5/6 months I thought I'd see a bit of muscle, maybe I haven't been constant enough.. [link] [comments] |
| Should you train triceps more than biceps? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:36 AM PDT I want to work for more towards a Tom Holland type body but I want big enough arms to be able to wear fitted clothes. Is this a good idea for me to train triceps a bit extra than biceps to have big enough, athletic body-type arms? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:27 AM PDT Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl (about 5"3, 133 lbs) and I want to tone my stomach but build my butt at the same time. I am doing an "hourglass" workout program but I've been eating in a strict caloric deficit. I'm on day 2 out of 26 but I realise that it's kinda impossible to do both since muscle gain needs a caloric surplus. What do I do? Should I eat in a caloric deficit with loads of protein? If I'm being honest, the idea of eating in a caloric surplus scares me because I really don't want to get a bigger stomach. Also, I don't expect to see shocking results on my butt because 26 days is practically nothing, but I do want to see something change. I am also using a light resistance band to train more. I see people saying that deadlifts work, but realistically...a 15 year old girl... in the gym with grown adults... lifting weights.. (if you get what I mean 😂). [link] [comments] |
| Front Raises for Front Delts Development compared to OHP/Dumbell Press? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 09:36 PM PDT REMEMBER, this is for strictly anterior delt development. I do lateral raises as is and rear delt work. Since I have been avoiding gym due to virus, I have still thankfully been able to use home dumbells. But for shoulder growth, I peaked at the dumbells I have (35s, yeah not much =/ but working) for shoulder presses. I'm not really able to buy more currently because of costs, so I was wondering about front raises with obv lower weights. I own dumbells (5 inc) from 10-35s. But for both my own production sake and also curiosity sake I did have questions:
Also extra question popped up: I usually workout 6x a week (used to do PPL at the gym before virus) so with dumbell workouts should I keep the volume (all 2x a week):

| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:00 PM PDT I was asking myself how the correlation between progressive overload and reps should be. For example if I add weight to my bench press I often go down in volume and was asking myself if this is normal. So for example if I do 10 reps with 190lbs that would be a total volume of 1900lbs. If I then add 10lbs and only do 9 reps (which is what I usually experience when going up in weight) and do only 9 reps that would be a total volume of 1800lbs. Is this still overloading? Is it normal? If not what am I doing wrong? Going up to fast with the weight? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 07:55 PM PDT For upper ab workouts that requires lifting the upper torso, I know "relaxing the neck" or looking at the ceiling is supposed to help, but more often than not if I put my hands behind my head and continue the exercise focusing on my abs seem to work out my muscles more. Is it because my upper abs are too weak at the moment? TL;DR How do I work abs without straining neck? edit - I'm not new to working out, I focus on form so I know not to rock my body. When I say I put my hands behind my head I'm not resting my head in my hands, usually I place them next to my head so my fingers are just touching my ears. For example, for toe touches with legs lifted, I find it better / I focus more on my abs if I imagine reaching upwards with my arms "behind" my head rather than having my fingers physically touching my toes, because that puts a lot of strain on my neck.

| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 03:36 AM PDT Today i decided i was going to make a workout plan but i was a bit confused on how many exercises i should do and for how many sets for hypertrophy. My current schedule is: M - Biceps, Shoulders, Triceps T - Rest W - Chest, Legs, Back T- Biceps, Shoulders, Triceps F - Rest S - Chest, Legs, Back S - Rest I plan on doing four exercises per muscle group ( i can lower this if needed). For hypertrophy i know i should be doing 10 - 12 reps but i dont know how many sets for each exercise. I have been told i should be 8 sets per muscle group so does that mean since i have 4 exercises i should do each excercise for 2 sets of 10 - 12 reps. For example Triceps: 1) Kickbacks - 2 sets of 10-12 2) Lying DB extensions - 2 sets of 10-12 3) Close grip press - 2 sets of 10 - 12 4) Overhead DB extensions - 2 sets of 10 - 12 I want to keep my workouts 45mins or less and workout no more than 4x a week [link] [comments] |
| Is Isopure zero carb whey protein suitable for me and reviews? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 03:26 AM PDT I (17M) started working out 3 weeks ago and I'm looking to build lean muscle mass. My trainer suggested me the aforementioned protein powder and I wanted some opinions on whether this is right for me. Those who have used this - how was your progress w it and which flavours would you recommend? [link] [comments] |
| Rope or Dumbbell hammer curls? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 02:08 AM PDT Which do you believe is better? What I understand is that there's equal force throughout the whole movement when using a rope on a machine but I see most people using dumbbells to perform the exercise so what do you think is better for Biceps/forearms? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:02 AM PDT My showers are closed at this moment, so I can not get myself clean after a day at the gym. The most I can is to clean my armpit, but nothing more. What do you do in this situation? I am an hour away from the gym and I really wanna smell okay on the way home (I go by bus). [link] [comments] |
| I really need help starting my fitness journey Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:58 PM PDT I've read the getting started FAQ in this group but I'm still confused. I'm a complete newbie. This is what i understood and didn't: I don't know what type of diet i should follow, all i know is that i have a 23.6 bmi and that i look kinda skinny but i have a considerable amount of abdominal fat, that i should stop eating things with added sugar and eat foods with more protein to work harder and carbohydrates to recover faster but I've never controlled calorie intake, I have never in my 24 years owned a scale for food or looked at how many calories something has and stuff and honestly that sounds very overwhelming, that i should make a workout routine that works for me but i don't know how because i don't know if a jump rope, a barbell and a pull up bar are enough to make a complete workout and how to make an effective workout plan. I would really like to go to the gym but i really can't afford it, so i'll have to learn and do all of this by myself [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 03:02 AM PDT I have something called Hypermobility and my kneecaps are also slightly not built so well (my kneecaps are placed too high so I'm pretty much missing a part of my bone and my kneecaps aren't where they're supposed to be) so my kneecaps have a tendency of dislocating if I put too much pressure on them so I've always struggle with exercising my legs. I can't do squats, can't do lunges, can't do wall sits, can't jump too much and just generally putting a lot of pressure on my knees is a no-go. [link] [comments] |
