| Hiking - once I get tolerant/resistant to my normal routine, should I go longer or harder? Posted: 09 Sep 2020 03:30 PM PDT I'm sorry, I don't know the correct terminology, but I'd love some guidance on what I should be doing. I'm an avid hiker. I started out doing hour long walks on normal flat hikes and now I'm up to 2.5 hour/10-12 mile moderate elevated hikes. This was all over a 3 month period. Recently, I realized I'm barely out of breath anymore on the latter moderate elevated hikes. I don't even really feel it too bad when I'm going uphill. That makes me feel good, but also kind of lazy. My question is, should I go longer (as in miles or hours) on my current hiking trails or harder (find another trail with more elevation)? I'm mostly trying to make this hobby my only cardio/workout besides weights 2-3 times a week. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Which is the better movement for glutes? Posted: 09 Sep 2020 10:43 PM PDT when it comes to working your glutes, would Romanian Deadlift or Hip Thrust be better ? what are the differences in the two and benefits of each ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:52 AM PDT I currently run a Push Pull Legs routine 5 days a week PPLPP. I have had real trouble doing the push day because there are so many muscles Chest, Shoulders and Triceps so I end up doing 9 exercises and it takes me around 2 and a half hours. This is very hard to fit into my work day. Is there any advice for this? Maybe cutting each muscle group to 2 exercises instead of 3, then I feel I'm not getting the full wreckage that I so desperately desire on each muscle group. By that I mean I don't feel like 2 chest exercises alone is enough to fully bean my chest. Another question. I usually do push day in order, so do all chest exercises then move on to shoulders then do triceps last. Is it ok to do something like have the first 2 exercises Bench press then overhead press. Because I feel like I have the most energy at the start of the workout. [link] [comments] |
| Opinion about my macros, knowledgable fitness individuals requesting your assistance! Posted: 10 Sep 2020 02:34 AM PDT 180cm 80kg, Decent fitness body however I've always wanted to take it a step further and have a clear six pack, but without just losing weight but kinda maintain the muscles i have. And this year is the time! I have never done any proper dieting and had a ferocious eating out mentality before. One week now I do the basic chicken rice spinach, counting macros etc strategy. My macros are 2600kcals maintenance with a very slight deficit( i eat in between 2500 or 2350 max minimum.) More specific 217 protein, 65 fat and 280 carbs. Will this get me where I wanna be or I'm just losing my time? [link] [comments] |
| How to warm up for a bench press 1RM PR Posted: 10 Sep 2020 04:07 AM PDT So I would like to test my max bench this weekend. I've tested a few times and would like to get a new PR. I'm a 16 year old guy. I looked it up on the internet but didn't really see anything I thought would work for me. On the day I test my max, what should my warmup be, how many sets of how many reps before my actual max, etc. Thank you so much in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Sep 2020 02:56 AM PDT Hey all! Lately I've been feeling a bit lost— and as much as I hate to say it, a bit unmotivated. Two years ago, I (M18) weighed 210lbs at 26%BF (5"5). Now, I'm sitting at a leaner 177 and I'm within a 15-18% range Body-Fat wise. My 'end goal' is to reach a lean weight between 160lbs & 170lbs, at a Body fat between 9-12%. While I see these numbers and know that hard work and discipline will get me there— why is it that I'm feeling lost as hell right now? To add some more depth, I became a personal trainer, and I feel like I should be more motivated to book it to my goals— so I can be a symbol for my clients and others looking for someone to look up to. You'd think that that'd be a good motivation, but I'm feeling really stagnant on my workouts lately. I've made it a point to stay disciplined— I've just been doing 15 Minutes of HIIT intervals on a AX Bike, purely for health purposes and to stay in shape. I hurt my back with poor deadlifting form about a month ago, and since then I've just been taking it easy and stretching. I (M20) am in college, while balancing a training career at the gym I work at. I want to continue chasing after my goals, but I feel really stuck! I feel like I've got at least a few reasons to keep pushing, but it definitely feels odd that it feels like I can't rouse myself to get it done. Any advice would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Jump Rope in an apartment - how to not annoy neighbors Posted: 10 Sep 2020 02:41 AM PDT I've been living at home jumping rope for the fast 3 months. Just moved into an apartment recently and unfortunately discovered the balcony wasnt wide enough for jumping rope. What can I do/get to keep jumping rope but not annoy my downstairs neighbors?

| Posted: 10 Sep 2020 02:38 AM PDT I am a beginner so I tried doing them without weights. My problem is during the negative, veins behind my knee start to pull and move, where as during the knee flexion I don't have that problem. I would try the seated leg curl, but my gym doesn't have that machine. I haven't been able to find any alternatives other than squats or deadlifts but their activation is too low, and it is recommended to have an isolated hamstring workout. Any other excersize you recommend? Or should I strengthen my calves first to make the negatives easy. What I mean by negatives is when the knee extends, I don't do the exercise as a negative(intentionally slowing down on the extension). PS. I don't have vericose veins. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Sep 2020 01:24 AM PDT I was building and cutting at the same time, and I was successful for awhile. However for various reasons, it's been counter productive as I near my weight loss goal. Also, I don't have as much time lately. So, I've decided to base my exercise, to some degree, on current government recommendations. Current recommendations are two days of strength training for the whole body and 150 minutes of moderate activity/75 vigorous minutes vigorous. I, currently, do 30 minutes of Hitt twice a week and 45 minutes of spinning twice a week. This gives me 150 minutes of vigorous activity, but I'm thinking of going to a strength class twice a week as well, but I don't know, if I "need" too. The hitt includes full body resistance training. Basically, I am asking, if hitt can count as aerobic and the 2 days of reccomended strength training. [link] [comments] |
| Walking vs Running for skinnier legs Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:22 AM PDT I've always felt insecure about my legs because they're big and I really want to get skinny legs. The past few months I started walking a lot (around 50km/week). I thought walking would help me get skinnier legs but I don't see any results yet. That's why I started running a few weeks ago. I can't run a lot yet but I've noticed my legs got even bigger than they already are. I don't want my legs to get even bigger so I was wondering if I should stick to running or go back to just walking? [link] [comments] |
| Benefits and Drawbacks- 3x10 vs. 30 total reps Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:05 AM PDT I have been unintentionally practicing this in my workouts and was curious as to if there is any research or personal experience regarding this. The most basic scheme I have seen for accessories is 3x8-12 (start at 8, work until 12, up weight until 8 is challenging, repeat) and this is what I have been doing for most of mine. However, I've been considering trying something different for a few weeks. Using bicep curls as an example, my progression right now is at 3×10 at 65#. What if you simply did 30 reps at 65#, cranking out a max set of 12, putting the bar down for just ~20 seconds, cranking out another max set of maybe 5, and repeating that until 30 reps even if it means doing singles at the end. The few times I have done it, I definitely noticed much more of a burn when I'm finished and its typically a bit faster. Progression would most likely be adding reps (~3 if it was manageable but lowering the reps down once I get closer to a plateau. Weight would be added once 25% more reps are added to the initial set and are completed with around the same number of sets (30 reps, 33 reps, 37 reps, 40 reps at weight). Since there would on average be less reps per set, I'm thinking it would be reasonable to assume more weight could be used even with the same amount of total volume. Deloads would simply be trying to reduce the amount of sets/rest time with the same volume. And for right now, this is purely for accessory work. Any discussion or feedback would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
