| Who needs 3,000 calories a day? Posted: 01 Sep 2020 03:51 PM PDT So I've lost about 50 pounds since high school, from 220 to ~160 and I've pretty much maintained my weight for around a year now. I've recently started a new job in a factory, which isn't extremely physical but I am on my feet all day (about 8hrs) drilling, stapling, and framing hospital beds. I started tracking my calories out of curiosity and was pretty shocked that I was eating 3,000+ a day. I'm a lot hungrier, probably because I'm more active, but I have no clue how to gauge if I'm eating too much. I'd like to maintain 160. I lift weights 4 days a week. I'm just not sure how much I should be eating, will this lead to weight gain? (Side note: I downloaded a step counter and get about 11,000 steps, if that gives any frame of reference. I am also a 6' tall male) [link] [comments] |

| How long will 32.5kg(72lbs) adjustable dumbbells last me? Posted: 02 Sep 2020 03:05 AM PDT Hi. I am 70kg(154lbs) 21 years old. 5'9. I am doing a PPL split just ordered these dumbbells. Started training again almost a month ago with some other dumbbells I have, eating a caloric surplus, and I have gone up from 9kg(20lbs) each hand dumbbell bench press to 17.5kg(39lbs) dumbbell bench press each hand for 12 reps ( training more for hypertrophy rather than strength) I have previous training experience from last year for 2 months before stopping and I was able to do around 5 reps of 24kg(52lbs) each hand back then ( Back then I was doing 5x5) so I do have some muscle memory hence my strength for now is increasing fast but I know it'll probably slow down soon. Based on this how long do you think these dumbbells should be able to last me ( basically how long would it take to be able to do 12 reps of 32.5kg dumbbell bench do you think?) Obviously for all other lifts I do 32.5kg dumbbells shall be enough, just the bench press I'm thinking about. ( other than shrugs maybe eventually) I know this is a crystal ball type question but would just like to know people's thoughts/estimates? [link] [comments] |
| Heavy/strain in calves while running Posted: 02 Sep 2020 02:30 AM PDT Hi guys, A bit of background, started at 126.8 kg, currently 121.8kg, height is 6'3. Started 1st aug. So I've been out of shape for a while I haven't done any real exercise for probably 10 years, I turned 30 a few months ago and had been having slight back pain so I decided to get in the gym. My routine has consisted of; 10-15 minutes on cross trainer 10-20 minute run (30 second run at 10.2, 30 sec walk at 6.4), I've noticed this keeps my heart rate higher for longer. Full body exercises (deadlift/squat/military press etc) My close friend is a very good PT who will be sorting out my diet/training routine, I'm doing my current routine just to sweat as much as possible. I've noticed while I run my calves get very tight and begin to hurt, when I walk I still get a little pain but not as bad. It doesn't happen on the cross trainer. I'm guessing I need to stretch my calves more, could anyone suggest stretches/exercises that could help. Appreciate any tips [link] [comments] |
| Standing vs seated calf raises Posted: 02 Sep 2020 04:46 AM PDT Everyone says that standing calf raises are better because it hits the bigger calf muscle. I feel seated calf raises much more. Which one should i do? [link] [comments] |
| Feel like I should be progressing faster as a beginner, yet can't Posted: 02 Sep 2020 04:30 AM PDT Im M18, 187cm(6'2) and 75kg(165lbs) So far I've been to the gym for about 2 months quite routinely. I started out with the Starting Strength program, and now for a month have been doing this(Ivysaur's beginner 4-4-8) program conceived by a fellow Redditor. I've heard novices should be able to do a weight progression of about 5kgs per workout, but for me that has always been too much. My progression seems to rather be about 5kgs per week for squat, bench and 2.5kgs per week for overhead press. Current numbers: Squat - 75kg(165lbs) Bench press - 45kg(100lbs) Overhead press - 35kg(77lbs) Deadlift - 75kg(165lbs) *I'm aware my deadlift to squat ratio is bad , I figure because i strained my back for a few weeks once on 90kg linear progression Barbell row - 45kg(100lbs)(I'm very inexperienced with the row, so i figure this number is quite lackluster) [link] [comments] |
| Should I add more excercise now that im getting less tired from my routine? Posted: 02 Sep 2020 04:06 AM PDT Sorry if this comes across as an idiotic question. I usually do a warm up and one set and a half of excercise. I understand that me getting less tired likely means my body is getting stronger and used to the work out.. I still turn up laying on my yoga mat, soaking is sweat after the excercise but its a lot less and I can pull myself to my feet easier than before. Does that mean though that I should add more excercise or a set to my routine or should I get used to my current routine a little more? (Maybe to the point that I dont end up dying on the mat) [link] [comments] |
| Question about fasting and working out Posted: 02 Sep 2020 01:24 AM PDT Can you exercise 2 times a day while fasting? One workout in the fasting period and one in the eating period. Can any problems occur from doing this kind of routine? [link] [comments] |
| Which workout routine for fat loss? Posted: 02 Sep 2020 03:30 AM PDT I'm 248 pounds, trying to get to 185. I want to lose this weight in 5 months max hopefully. I have access to a gym right now but am struggling to find a good workout routine for fat loss. I want to lift weights(high reps, low weight) and do cardio (hiit). A lot of people say just do cardio but I enjoy lifting weights as well. I started the VSHRED gym workout but the workouts just aren't enough for me. Im now trying to decide between a split such as PUSH/pull/LEGS/arms..or maybe a 5x5 program. Something that I can do high reps and low weight for maybe 45 min then 20 min Hiit as well. And yes I'm tracking my calories/macros and I'm in a deficit. Thanks for any advice! [link] [comments] |
