    Can I still grow muscle if by the end of my 3-4 sets I'm not fatigued?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 03:35 PM PDT

    Specifically during leg day. I don't find I have heavy enough weights in order to really fatigue my legs during squats and deadlifts. With pull ups and dips, for example, during the final set I can hardly perform the final rep. I am sufficiently fatigued during my upper body days. But when I do leg day, I just don't feel the fatigue to the same extent. My muscles are still sore afterwards, just not nearly as much. Is this fine? Any ways I can combat this, perhaps?

    Update: as always, I really appreciate all the helps, guys! I love the support on this sub

    Is there any difference in how our body reacts to being on a deficit via nutrition vs exercise?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:06 AM PDT

    Let's say my CICO with strength training included is around 2400 Cal and my net caloric intake is 2200 to lose weight. Is there a difference if I increase my caloric intake to 2400 then add cardio to up my consumption so that the net caloric intake is still 2200? Could I keep adding calories as long as I compensate with enough cardio to consume them, would it be beneficial or harmful in the short and long run?

    What’s your best response to “it’s all about nutrition” or it’s “90% diet”?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 04:23 AM PDT

    It always irritates me when I hear someone say this, sure you have to have your nutrition right, but there's a lot of lean unhealthy people.

    Cool you're a 160 pound dude, but you can't climb a flight of stairs without taking a nap.

    How do I get stronger hands?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 12:24 AM PDT

    Aye so my hands are boney and skinny as hell while the rest of my body isn't, I have a healthy looking body. It legitimately hurts when I do weight training because the grips at one point put so much pressure on my palm that the paw part below my finger became bruised and nonexistent for a couple weeks.

    I just need some damn muscle in my hands because doing anything with strength or pressure on them just hurts the bones. They just feel so damn fragile all the time and I'm pretty clueless

    Workout tips for somebody wanting to become better at hiking

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:54 AM PDT

    TL;DR: I want to find some sort of workout routine that gets me significantly stronger/better able to hike in 3 months (maybe be able to do 30km back-and-forth and a 1500m elevation change more easily) . No equipment, I have roughly 30 min a day.

    So I got into hiking this summer (I mean I did it before, but it was very tiring and I was very slow). I did some longer hikes/steeper/more elevation change and I got faster/I get tired less easily, but I still feel like I could get much better. The most I think I did was an 1400m change, with 30km back-and-forth, but it was pretty tiring. I want to be able to climb the highest peak in my country by the summer (2544 m) and generally do longer hikes, things that last more than 1 day, but I'm currently helplessly frail. I have read the wiki, but I'm undecided as to what would be the best course of action going forward. Tips?

    Switching from conventional deadlifts to sumo deadlifts?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:38 AM PDT

    Is there any difference in the muscles worked between these two deadlifting methods, I've always deadlifted conventional and have NEVER once deadlifted sumo.

    I'm naturally built for sumo but I've never switched to it, what's the benefit of sumo deadlifts?

    Will it kill my gains if I only repeat one or two different exercises for each muscle group?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:25 AM PDT

    So I've been lifting for the last 2 years and seen some decent results. I went to the gym for 1,5 hours 2-3 times a week. Here I had access to multiple different machines and exercises for all body parts. I.e cable flyes, incline/decline bench, reverse cable flyes, ticep extensions etc.

    For reasons I can't go to the gym anymore, but we have a bench with barbell, a curved barbell for bicep curls and a dubell at home. So for example when I train chest I only do alot of reps of bench press and pushups, back I only do bent over barbell row and triceps is skull crushers, where as in the gym I had 4-5 different ways of hitting a muscle group... Will this make a huge difference in gaining muscle?

    No leg strength exercise routine/split?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:01 AM PDT

    Hello r/Fitness! I have been doing reddit's PPL for a year now but due to an injury I had two months I have had to stop doing lower body exercises to let my knee heal. I however can still work upper body and have been alternating between the push and pull day with a few variations (no deadlifts, so only rows on pull days). I have taken it easy to not put further stress on my leg yet I have managed to slightly increase some numbers and managed to do pullups and chinups for the first time in years! However I feel that after 2 consecutive sets of PP I tend to gas out quicker, and underperform if I don't rest for 2 or 3 days. I'm guessing it's because I'm overworking these muscles without alternating with the leg days.

    With that in mind, is there any more efficient way to split the muscles that I can work to make the best out of my current condition? I have relatively lots of time on my hands so I don't mind spending my whole week on the gym because I prefer to keep myself occupied. Also, is it okay to take rest days as cardio days? I still do 20 mins of static bicycle on normal days but I would like to know if it's okay to do let's say 60 mins and skip strength training as a "rest" day?

    I have been working out for about 2 years and I feel like i always have really wonky shoulders or back im not sure.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 11:22 PM PDT

    Like whenever i do any chest exercises whether free weight or machines, i always feel my left pec being stretched more.

    And when I do barbell squats I feel the weight of the barbell more on my right shoulder even when I try my best to have it even on my shoulders, after the second rep it will be uneven again.

    Also when im doing lat pull downs i feel my left shoulder locking out earlier than my right shoulder.

    Is there any exercise or warm up that can help me? Also I would like to add that because of this I never done deadlifts before as im afraid any unevenness might cause injuries.

    Is it possible to get from skinny to massive by using barbells only without going to the gym?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 11:35 PM PDT

    I have been skinny for so long so I wanted to change to feel better so I decided to start working out but I only have a barbell and 45kg in weights so is it possible also what food should I eat before and after workout

    Thanks
