| There is some exercise or a test I can do to see if I have a decent core strength? Posted: 12 Sep 2020 02:16 PM PDT I've been working out for some months now, but I'm a little bit worried about my core. I try to work it out 3-4 days a week, ab rollouts, mountain climbers, scissors... But I don't know if my core is ok or is still too weak. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Sep 2020 03:09 AM PDT When it's mentioned, you think of adding plates to the bar, but is this the best way to get stronger safely? There are quite a few ways to increase strength/muscle mass without needing to add weight first right? A few examples I can think of is -higher reps -slower reps -paused reps -less recovery between sets Shouldn't you reach a point where once you can tick a few of these boxes, that'd be the best time to add weight, as you potentially wouldn't plateau as quickly? Should adding weight be the best way to take a step forward or is it not necessary for muscle growth until you're breezing through your current weight while doing all of these things, as you'd still be providing stimulus for growth. Keep in mind im new to lifting and am only bringing up these questions for a thoughtful discussion from people who can speak with experience [link] [comments] |
| Can’t extent arms 6 days after first bicep workout Posted: 13 Sep 2020 04:21 AM PDT hey guys so i've started going to the gym recently and it started off well, on Saturday i did triceps and chest and on sunday day i did biceps, the first day after doing biceps i was fine, they ached a little but nothing too bad. The next day was awful though, i could not physically fully stretch my arm and when i moved it, it hurt a lot. The pain was in my bicep but also my inner elbow. The bicep pain went by Thursday but persisted in my inner elbow. By friday the pain had cleared up enough that i could move my arm without it hurting but outstretching it still hurts today (Sunday, a full week after the workout) I did legs on friday because I've been loving going to the gym but since my legs are aching I don't really want to go because most workouts will either involve using my arms or legs. Is it normal for this pain to persist a week after the workout? I've been making sure i get plenty of protein and calories in my diet but it doesn't seem to be easing the pain by much [link] [comments] |
| Squat machine >> Barbell squat - how Much difference weight wise?? Posted: 12 Sep 2020 08:28 PM PDT Has anyone used something like this squat machine (except standing straight up, not on a slanted platform) https://cdn3.volusion.com/dtwfe.bjanx/v/vspfiles/photos/GSCL360-2T.jpg How does it compare to normal squats? Any rough guess based on experience? I recently started leg day, and was shocked to find I can squat 400lb on the machine for 5 reps. I used the machine because of injury prior, but now I kind of want to get into barbell squats, so I was wondering if my barbell squat would be anywhere close to my squat on the machine. I'd guess it'd be 75-100lb less, so I might be able to do 300lb for 4 reps, anyone have real experience doing both? How does your squat on machine compare to real squat? If I could squat 300lb on barbell, I'd be excited to make the jump and work on it. Anyone got experience here? [link] [comments] |
| Weekly or daily surplus most important for lean bulk? Posted: 12 Sep 2020 04:30 PM PDT Hi all - I am eating in a c. 300 calorie surplus, with the aim of a slow, lean bulk. I workout 5 times per week. Ideally, I would like to eat at maintenance (or a v small surplus) Monday-Friday, to "bank" calories to use at the weekend when I am socialising more etc. My weekly surplus would still average out at c. 300 per day. Would this be sup-optimal for my bulk, given that most of my workouts are Mon-Fri? Many thanks! [link] [comments] |
