| Knowing the right time to increase weight for lifts? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 07:27 AM PDT I'm fairly new to weightlifting, but it's something I really enjoy and want to be good at. I'm still in the process of getting familiar and comfortable at the gym. I apologize if I'm unclear, just trying to learn. My question is, when is it appropriate to increase the weight you're working with? For example - I've been curling with a 5 lb. DB for the past ~5 weeks (I'm 5'4 and 110 lbs.), and I moved up to a 10 lb. DB yesterday for curls. This weight feels more appropriate, but I can only do a few solid reps with proper form. After browsing the wiki, I see that progression can take place in the form of increasing weight and/or increasing reps/sets. If I've already increased reps with my 5 lb. DB, should I just settle for a few good reps with a 10 lb. DB? Or stick to more reps with a 5 lb.? I'd love some feedback, if anyone has any! [link] [comments] |

| Help incorporating weights into my bodyweight routine Posted: 04 Sep 2020 12:08 AM PDT https://www.muscleandfitness.com/routine/workouts/workout-routines/pullup-pushup-workout/ I've been using this routine for the last few months while the gym's been closed. I lost about 15 lbs, some muscle some fat but i built up way more strength and size in my back and shoulders. I pushed my max pullups to 25 and pushups to 40 from 10/20. The routine says not to do any additional upper body training or else you won't recover enough to do the next workout. My gym's opening up so I want to incorporate these exercises into a weight lifting program. The way the program works is pushups/pullups same day then rest every other day. Should I stop doing them both on the same day and split up the exercises into separate push/pull days with lifting weights? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 09:59 PM PDT I am trying to seriously get into weightlifting and one of the key take aways from watching a lot of YouTube and doing research was how important progressive overload is. My question is how far should you progress every session? For example on my first leg day I started with a leg press of 100kg as I didn't know where to begin and it felt like a nice round number. However, I felt like I could go much higher. Will I still progress if I only up the weight by 5kg next time When I feel I could actually go to maybe 120kg? Or should I begin to progressively overload from my max weight I can do now? Edit: thank you for any advice [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2020 03:04 AM PDT Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack. So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:
Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line. So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday? [link] [comments] |
| Do any trendy therapies actually work? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 11:14 PM PDT There are a lot of Trent therapies that claim they aid recovery from cupping to cryo. What are your own experiences with these therapies? Do any of them work? [link] [comments] |
| Flared Ribs fixing, ribs sticking out. any excersises to do? Posted: 04 Sep 2020 04:10 AM PDT Hey fellas, I have this weird issue where my ribs stick out and I think they are out of normal position. Do you have any suggestions about excersises or product I could use to give it some push? Thanks in advance, Photos : https://imgur.com/a/tlkvs0w [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Sep 2020 10:48 PM PDT So… I'm a 60yo male. I'm in pretty good shape (5'10" and 170lbs) for an old guy. As some of you might know, muscle loss is a thing as you get older. I've watched those '100 push ups a day for 30 days' and wondered if it was a good idea so, during August, I did just that and I have to say it apparently works! We're in September now (doh) and I'm doing 10 sets of 15 reps spread out in 1/2 hour intervals. My question is, to all you people that know about this stuff, is it of benefit to me? From a physical point of view I mean. It's definitely of benefit mentally! I figure doing 150 pushups a day has gotta be a good thing right?The Art of Manliness [link] [comments] |

| I have been training for 6 months and i dont know what to do next Posted: 04 Sep 2020 04:04 AM PDT Hello! I have been following a program from 6 months now (going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week), doing weights and cardio, and i start noticing improvement, i feel stronger, fit and healthier. Also i have been taking care of what i eat (i eat mostly salad, chicken, whey protein, cheese, coffee, trying to avoid processed foods, usually i have a cheat meal from time to time). I was 70 kg when i started, and now I'm 65 kg which is ideal for me (I'm 1.80 m, 28, skinny guy ). I like my body, but i dont know what i need to do to get a 6 pack and bigger chest. Its the first time in my life that i take care of what i eat, and exercise regularly because my life is more stable now. I'm an app developer so my job is being in front of the computer from long periods of time. Any recommendations are welcome! [link] [comments] |
| I have some doubt about nutrition Posted: 04 Sep 2020 03:53 AM PDT Hi guys, I am writing because I have some doubt about how nutrition works and how nutrition and fitness are related. There are some concepts I really don't understand. I would like to understand how what I eat affects my body, how the abdominal fat (or in other parts of the body) is formed and how muscle growth works. I read that what really counts in losing weight is the amount of calories I eat. So if I consume every day 2000 cal and I eat 1500, I will lose weight. Is this true? How is this true if I have all dietologists say I have to eat carbohydrates, proteins, fat in a given ratio? What would happen if I assume all the calories with meat or fruit and vegetables ora fat?How will the weight loss be distributed between fat, muscles or other things? Can this loss be influenced by what I eat, eg more proteins over fat or carbs? Thank you for the answers! You can also link some resources if you want! [link] [comments] |
| Exercise does not hit the same anymore Posted: 04 Sep 2020 02:59 AM PDT The exercise I'm talking about is standing cable fly (for chest). I started doing it at the start of August. I really felt it in my chest. I loved the exercise because of that. Now the last 2 weeks it has not been the same anymore. I cant feel it hitting or making my chest work as it used to. What's up with that? I cant put on more weight because then my form goes to crap. Help! [link] [comments] |
| Constant balance loss and struggling to "synchronise" my body. Posted: 04 Sep 2020 02:56 AM PDT Hello! I am 30(F) and just started working out to fight my mood swings and experience my body. I never worked out, never run, never played sports. So I started a youtuber's program about 10 days ago, which is pretty easy for beginners, or so they say. I can't seem to keep up. I lose my balance when I do lunges, and lose coordination(?) when I do jumping jacks, like loosing synch, i.e. I end up with my legs spread and my hands pointing the floor. I am certain I look like a baby, taking it's first steps and falling over. The problem is it demotivates me, because I get angry with myself, and it beats the main reason I started this journey. I keep pushing through, already seeing some changes and weight loss, and my mood improved quite a bit. I just need to know if this is normal for people "living above their necks" for too long, and what can I do to better my routine. [link] [comments] |
| Question about cold showers and muscle growth Posted: 04 Sep 2020 02:34 AM PDT I've seen some studies that say that cold water immersion after a workout stuns muscle growth, but i like cold showers. Thing is, this is ab people who instantly take an ice bath after a workout. Cold showers wouldn't make as big a difference i think and i could also wait before talking the cold shower. So if anybody has experience or knowledge on the subject, how long should i wait after a workout before i take my cold shower? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2020 02:25 AM PDT What does this mean... Bench/ or Press (A/B) 2x 5, 1 x 5+ Is it 1. 5 reps 2. 5 reps and 3. As much as possible? and what does A/B mean? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2020 03:34 AM PDT Hello , I used to be in fairly good shape, didnt have abs but, the start of them. Good cardio, good diet. Was working out for about 2 years nonstop. Around April I had a bit of a health scare which I wont get into and during that time I stopped working out and eating like utter GARBAGE. Fast Forward to end of July. I tried getting back into working out and when I began eating different my body felt like it full on revolted. And I mean i couldn't eat anything, drink anything without feeling nauseous. I went to the doctor to check if I had something with my stomach like H Pylori or Ulcers etc, got my blood/stool checked and nothing, no stomach virus, no ulcers, no anemia, no nothing. Everything was seemingly ok. Kidneys were fine, blood was fine, no sign of any weirdness in stool at all, only thing was my blood sugar was a wee bit high. Problem is I still had weirdness in my stomach and now it's more off and on and seemingly going away now that I am actually going back to the gym (for sake of transparency I go 4 times a week for about 2 hours 1 hour cardio and the rest weights and normal exercises.) So my question, did my body just revolt against me eating like shit THAT badly to the point of fucking up my stomach/ guts? Or is this something else? As I said my tests all cam back with nothing besides the highish blood sugar and I have been going back to not just my regular diet but routine. Is there something I'm not considering? Or is this just a case of I tried to change my shit diet too fast and my stomach basically went into shock? [link] [comments] |
| Running two programs on alternating weeks. Posted: 03 Sep 2020 11:17 PM PDT TLDR: thinking of running nSuns 6day and Arnold's Volume Routine on alternating weeks. Will I die? Brothers and sisters of /r/fitness, I call on you for your aid. I'm on mobile, so please forgive any format issues. Currently I am 4 months into my nSuns 6 day a week program. I have seen great results, smashed PR's and am overall happy with the program. That being said, my bench and OHP lifts have come to a halt for the last month. As such, I am wondering if this is a sign that it's time to change things up. So, in thinking about how to do so, while also keeping some nSuns in my program as I enjoy it, I thought of trying the following: Week 1: nSuns 6 days Week 2: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/arnold-schwarzenegger-volume-workout-routines Varient 1 Week 3: nSuns And so on... My questions are:
Currently I workout 12 times a week, by lifting in the morning and cardio after work. With 1 rest day. Because of this, I'm not too concerned about the volume. Also, I have run the Arnold program before and had good results. As always, I appreciate your help and will pray for your gains when I enter the iron temple tonight. Stay strong fellow fitness friends. [link] [comments] |
| 12 hours working on my feet, how to capitalize? Posted: 03 Sep 2020 08:24 PM PDT I have a job where I am constantly walking and on my feet for 12+ hours a day. I walk anywhere from 10-12 miles usually. I have notoriously scrawny legs so I've been trying to up my protein intake while adjusting my muscles to this sort of job, but is there anything else I could be doing to maximize this "workout"? It takes away a lot of time that could be spent at the gym so I'm having to transition to a less traditional form of fitness. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Sep 2020 12:11 AM PDT My job will leave me very few time to eat in the morning and I'll have a 40 minutes train ride to get there. So basically I am looking for ideas for a good breakfast that will make me go through the morning until lunch. (Almonds based?...). I used to make a pancake with oatmeal, chocolate powder, egg white and Greek yoghurt. Let me know your ideas :) [link] [comments] |
