| How do I place the bar on my back in squats comfortably? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 10:02 PM PDT I am beginner lifter and I have a problem doing squats. So I am a skinny teenager and when I put the bar on my back it feels very uncomfortable and it hurts my vertebra. The next day after squats one of my vertebras is kinda sore. Also, I don't think I have enough shoulder mobility as I return the bar on the rack, my shoulders hurt and I can't move them properly for several seconds. Should I stop doing squats and change it to another exercise? If yes, what would you recommend? [link] [comments] |
| I do a lot of cardio, nothing else Posted: 15 Sep 2020 05:31 AM PDT I'm 14 and I do cardio everyday, like 5-15 miles on a bike. Every aspect of my physical fitness is trash, what's something I could do to improve my fitness levels [link] [comments] |
| When to have protein on a tight budget? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 05:06 AM PDT Hi there, so this is my situation, basically my current budget allows me to take an optimal amount of protein 6 out of 7 days a week, the remaining day I'd be having like 40g less of protein. The thing is, I am ususally going to be working in my job on Sundays so I thought that could be my rest day. My question is, what day of the week should I have for those -40g of protein in order for my body to take maximum advantage of the total proteins? Shoud I have less proteins on Sunday since I am not working out? Or perhaps on Monday since on Sunday the muscles trained on Saturday would be recovering? Just starting with a proper diet so hopefully I don't sound too stupid lol, would appreciate your advice :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2020 04:33 AM PDT For 3 weeks I have been jump roping using a mat and loving it! I do have a exercise bike but I have stopped using it as I prefer to jump rope, is it better for me to mix together these workout or do one 30 min jump rope - rest day - then 30 min exercise bike? I have thorcic scoliosis but it isn't noticable and doesn't affect me much apart from minor backpain sometimes. Is there any workout I can work on to improve overall fitness / endurance safely [link] [comments] |
| Can't find anything about warmup for the basic beginner routine? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 03:59 AM PDT I searched the wiki, posts on the subreddit, and looked throught the Routine Campfire for Basic Beginner Routine. No info regarding warmup for this routine. Does this routine really not require a warmup? No dynamic stretches, unweighted (bodyweight) squats or anything? Not even a short jog to get you warm? I've been doing r/BodyweightFitness Recommended Routine, and by warming up and just slightly activating the muscles, I have a much easier time getting started and feeling the proper muscle activation for each exercise. How come it's not recommended here? Can I still invent a warmup routine for myself for these exercises? [link] [comments] |
| What am I doing wrong (losing muscle mass)? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 03:07 AM PDT I have a few years of weightlifting under my belt and would consider myself a pretty strong guy. The thing is: I never did a thing about my diet except eating a lot of meat and drinking protein shakes, so I also was always kinda fat. A while ago I decided that it's time to do something about my huge belly and get lean and it's been going great, just by tracking calories and macros and I dropped a good bit of weight. As of this morning I'm 190cm tall and weigh 112kg with a BF% of 23.2% according to my scale. I weigh myself in the morning after going to the bathroom. I recognized a while ago that I'm dropping weight too quickly so I upped my calories by 400 from 1900 to 2300. This was mostly due to me underestimating my physical activity. As for macros: I usually aim for minimum of 230g of protein (avg. over the last 30 days is 247g) and 80g of fat (83g average) and fill the rest of my calories up as I want. My workout routine is weightlifting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, overall about 3 hours per week. I also try to get in about 1.5-2 hours of cycling per week and on sundays I usually take a walk that's about 7km long. I also have a fairly active job and normally get 10k+ steps/day in easily. Now here's the thing: I'm also a huge data-nerd so I bought a scale that measures BF and LMB and of course I have an excel spreadsheet for everything. And tracking my data, I realized that a lot of the weight I'm losing is simply Lean Body Mass, which is not really what I'm aiming for obviously. So here's my excel spreadsheet for the last 6 weeks: https://i.imgur.com/3a6CeBg.png As you can see I dropped about 7kg in weight, but most of it seems to be muscle mass, is this simply because my deficit is too big or am I missing something else here!?

| As a new runner, can I increase my mileage by 0.1m a day? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 08:40 AM PDT Started at one mile, have been increasing it by 0.1 miles a day. I'm a 28 year old male and relatively healthy. My only concern is that last year I started running and went too far too fast, damaged my ankle and then broke my foot while casually walking. Today I would be up to 1.8 miles, if I keep up the 0.1 a day, and I plan to get to three miles this way before I slow down and stay there for a while. Does anyone have any knowledge of if this is okay? I feel like with these low miles it should be fine, can't find anything on google other than the 10% rule which I feel doesn't apply to new runners. Thanks friends! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 11:36 PM PDT Has anyone tried all 3 routines? What do you recommend and why? I'm struggling to pick one, I don't care about lifting heavy I only care about gaining size which is why I'm leaning more towards the Arnold split as most of the exercises say 3/4 sets of 8-12 reps. Having said that if lifting heavier sets of 5 reps for compound exercises mixed with 8-12 reps for lighter exercises builds significant size I would definitely be up for following Phat :) [link] [comments] |
| Is it okay to lift weights everyday if you recover quick enough? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 05:31 AM PDT So basically I've done my academic training for physical education and I created a weight training program which focuses on mix of low and high mass, moderate intensity (pumping) and high enough reps and sets for it to be considered endurance training. So it's a mix of Hypertrophy training and muscle strength/size. One of the reasons I pump my exercises is to train my muscles tolerance to DOMS (Delayed onset muscular soreness) so I can train hard and still be able to train at same intensity every day. I use this same training exercises every day without rest, even with the lactic/hydrogen ion buildup from the day before, I can still complete the training regiment. I understand that it's important to have rest after a physically and mentally strenuous exercise, however I recover quick enough to be able to train the next day at the same intensity. I believe this is because I eat a lot of protein and meat whilst also getting plenty of sleep. I would like to get your opinion on my kind of training, and whether I should keep doing what I do or train with 1-2 days rest. For anyone answering my query all the exercises are upper body dumbbell exercise for the main purpose of building muscle and strengthening my rotator cuff due to injury I sustained 3 years ago and never started training properly.
