| How do you push yourself more during exercise? Posted: 17 Sep 2020 01:03 AM PDT Let me preface this by saying I am someone with poor mental toughness. I have always struggled to get out of bed on time, every time. I never ever do reps to failure or come close to failure. I estimate I am only taking myself halfway to failure every single set. For instance, if I can potentially do 16 reps per set, then I am maybe only doing 8 per set. Some exercises require higher reps because they're working out smaller muscles, but I just cannot commit to high reps and instead increase the weight. I know you are not supposed to workout to failure, but not even coming close speaks in volumes of my lack of personal grit. Yet in spite all of this, I have somehow managed to transform my body within a year. This is not to brag or anything like it, but I feel it's undeserved and doesn't accurately portray my lack of mental toughness. And I feel so guilty because people in my personal life notice the big changes and look up to me as though I am a very disciplined person when I'm not. So I would like to become more like the person they idealise me as. I am wondering how do people in fitness drive themselves to their limits and beyond? How does a person build mental fortitude? What is the secret? There's all these videos online of athletes and fitness people pushing themselves past the breaking point and finding gears where there should be none. Is it possible to become like this, mentally? Can anyone help out your friendly neighbourhood sloth here? [link] [comments] |
| Are squats the best exercise to grow the ass? Posted: 17 Sep 2020 12:45 AM PDT If not, which is? I'm looking for a exercise that I can do fast and constantly, I'm busy almost all the day and it's hard to me to keep an specific hour and routine to exercise [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Sep 2020 10:22 AM PDT Bonus flexing pic: https://imgur.com/a/05Qh741 Age: from 18 to 20 Sex: Male Height: 5'11 but 6' on Tinder Starting Weight: 131 lb Ending Weight: 156 lb Starting Stats: 45 lb bench, 65 lb squat, 85 lb deadlift Ending Stats( 1 RM): 165 lb bench, 260 lb squat, 300 lb deadlift Diet: When I first started lifting in 2018, i suffered from serious fuckarounditis both in the gym and out of it. As a skinny fat person with body dysmorphia, I would feel fat and bloated when bulking and skinny and frail when cutting. As a result, I would just switch back and forth between the two and essentially spun my wheels for the first 8 months. When I started attending university, the meal plan made it easy to, you know, meal plan. I started at around 3000 calories a day and 140 grams of protein; that didn't give me the results I wanted so I added a full gallon of 2% milk every day on top of that. As can be expected, this got me fat. I ballooned up to about 175 pounds, and while my lifts went up, they were nowhere near where they should have been as a thicc 175 pounder. Luckily, I got my wisdom teeth out at this point and stopped eating anything other than chocolate pudding. I lost a dramatic amount of weight and went down to 155 in about 3 weeks. Very unhealthy and I don't recommend this, but I could suddenly see muscle and felt somewhat lean and confident. At this point, it was March of 2019 and I weighed 155 with a 5x5 bench of 115; I don't remember my other lifts but they were similarly not great. Over quarantine, I didn't work out or eat intentionally at the beginning and accidentally climbed up to 163 lbs. After gasping at the new number on the scale, my love handles and I decided to go on another cut. This cut was 1600 calories and 160 grams of protein. I made it to 155 again and am now bulking pretty hard at university on a diet of 3500 calories and 175 grams of protein. I don't really watch my other macros, I just make sure to eat 3 servings of veggies every day. Routine: When I first started lifting, I went every other day and basically just did my favorite exercises: bench press, lat pull downs, seated low rows, bicep curls, and lateral raises. Legs were a long-forgotten dream. I followed this stellar, well-designed routine for 8 months, then transitioned to the Reddit PPL routine that I've been following since. The only difference is that I've also become an avid rock climber, so I'll occasionally swap a pull day (or leg day...I know) out for hard climbing or give myself an extra rest day after a weekend climbing trip. In terms of progression, I followed the basic idea of the Reddit PPL. For my main lifts, I started each day with a 5x5; for example, a 5x5 of bench press on push day. If I can do 5 clean sets of 5 reps each, I move up 5 pounds for the next workout and shoot for 5 sets of 3 reps minimum. I moved up 10 pounds at a time for squat and deadlift and 5 for bench. For my accessory work, I did the same but with a rep scheme of minimum 8 and moving up if I could complete 12. I know this isn't as inspiring or incredible as many of the posts on this sub, but I find that a lot of people I know have followed similar plans and have spent an equal amount of time fucking around and taking a while to actually start taking the gym and fitness seriously. I hope this post can provide some insight to some people, but if not, that's okay too! I finally am starting to feel confident in my body and with my shirt off, and I am proud of the progress I have made. Have a wonderful day! [link] [comments] |

It would be great if you could answer them. 1/ Did you feel overall you done better with an online coach? 2/ What did you feel were the biggest benefits of an online coach? 3/ What would you have liked to be done differently or included (that wasn't) in your coaching? Feel free to share any thoughts or opinions you have on your experience with online coaching. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Sep 2020 02:15 AM PDT I'm 5"6' 70kg looking to gain lean muscle and lose fat. I'm around 10% body fat. I'm in the military and it's hard to keep up sustainable diets due to deployments and camp food being pretty shit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| How to add T3 accessories on GZCLP recommended routine? Posted: 17 Sep 2020 12:49 AM PDT I want to add a few isolation exercises (mainly for hypertrophy) such as tricep Push downs, bicep curls and face pulls but I don't know in which day to add them. Should I be doing them in every workout (3 days a week)? If I opted, let's say, to do triceps on the bench day wouldn't the volume and the frequency be too low (once a week)? [link] [comments] |
| Should I do less accessory work if I want to focus on gaining strength on my compound exercises? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 08:23 PM PDT I have been lifting semi heavy on all my compounds and was not sure if the accessory exercises I am doing after it are hindering my strength gains. I'm running a LPP program with high reps on all accessory movements. I have been trying to get back to my normal strength levels since breaking my foot a while back but don't want to over train. Let me know what you think! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Sep 2020 07:59 PM PDT If your supposed to eat less food than you burn, how long does toe body hold on to nutrients from a meal. In my simple mind, the more you eat, the more nutrition you maintain. Like if I eat a bagel w no topping and a coffee, a bowl of rice for lunch, and a small portion of whatever I want. Won't I lose nutrition along with fat? I don't get it [link] [comments] |
