    Uneven dumbbells

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 09:27 PM PDT

    I started working out from March'20. I started with 2kg dumbbells and currently lifting 11kg dumbbell (5+5+1kg rod). However I want to increase the weights now but the options i have are a) 17kg dumbbell (8+8+1) b) 14kg dumbbell (8+5+1)

    I didn't give much thought while buying them and that explains the mess. Is it safe to lift dumbbells with uneven weights. Would it lead to any muscle/joint injuries?

    P:S i have only 1 dumbbell to progress after 7.5kg

    How do you approach "good" and "bad" days in the gym?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 04:14 AM PDT

    Approaching Intermediate level as a lifter in terms of understanding (non-formally) and performing in the gym and finally wanted to sort a program out for myself tailored to my goals and where I want to be.

    What I noticed that none (that I have seen) of the programs ever address good and bad days in the gym.

    (I know about RPE and RIR but I've never seen this mentioned in a program, but this only applies to over time really and not per session)

    As an example I was doing some upper training with a back focus and noticed I was recovering much better than normal, I coulnd't really do many more reps I just noticed i was recovering faster.

    I was curious how you guys approach these kind of "good" days and even "bad" days as I want to implement it into my own training program.

    As an example I was thinking of adding optional AMRAP sets or an additional super set for muscles that day that have recovered well.

    Exercises to help me sit cross legged on the floor for longer?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 03:58 AM PDT

    Are there any exercises that I can do which will help me sit cross legged on the floor for longer? Right now, if I sit for more than 20 minutes, my hips start hurting and if I sit longer my lower back starts hurting. It goes away after a while, but I'm wondering if this is a warning sign? I don't know if it helps, but I'm 37 years old and have been working out regularly over the past year. I'm around 8 kg (18 lbs) overweight.

    I tried searching online and couldn't find anything useful (some sites selling snake oil though).

    Fatigued biceps

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 03:06 AM PDT

    I have been lifting seriously for about 2 years and have made a lot of progress. However, lately when I do my upper back exercises like pull-downs/ups, rows or cable rows, it feels like the first muscle group to get fatigued is my biceps

    I rarely do more than one standard curl exercise on my back day.

    Do I need to focus more on my biceps? Like heavy weight and few reps? Or what should my approach be? I don't feel like focusing solely on my fucking biceps is very motivating. I'm not one of those dumb ego lifters

    Would appreciate some tips

    what do yous think of the calisteniapp

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 01:38 AM PDT

    If you use it was it good and how was your results. Thinking of doing it for my main workout. Is the 25 week programme the best for beginners. Also is the level 10 of the police program really for elite firefighters? I don't think so but I'd like to hear from you. Thanks

    2xWrestling and 2xGym in a week?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 12:03 AM PDT

    Hi,im 17 years old 141 lbs 5'9 I've recently started wrestling.I did gym for about a year and for the last 3 months i did the upper/lower split and got progress,but since i started wrestling i stopped going to gym,because i don't know if i can do both.My wrestling is 2 times a week and can i go two days to gym(one upper and one lower on the other day) or should i change my program.One guy told me about doing bench press,deadlift ,squat,military press,rows and pull ups. Am i going to make progress with doing these excersises 2 times a week? Or should i do my upper lower split just once a week? I go to school from 1pm to 7 pm ,which is stopping me from doing both gym and wrestling. Also should i train for endurance with lower weights or for strenght and size with heavier weights?
