    I gained all my weight back, should i start dieting again

    Posted: 04 Sep 2020 11:52 PM PDT

    I [23m] weighted 81kg, and my height is 180cm. I dieted and lost 10kg to 71kg for 3 months but after several setbacks i gained all my weight back to 83kg. At first i thought it was water weight but it's been 3 months since i gained all back and i still weight 83kg.

    What should i do? As for today i calculate how much do i eat and it's around 3000-3500 cals a day.

    Any online trainers?

    Posted: 04 Sep 2020 11:24 PM PDT

    Can someone help me with creating a proper training program with the weights and fitness equipment I have in my apartment? I don't really need motivation or follow ups, just some guidance and a professional plan so I'm targeting the right muscles and properly recovering while utilizing the equipment I have. I'm willing to pay if the price is right.

    How do I stop getting overloaded with information and just start working out?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 12:21 AM PDT

    I keep reading so much information and burn out before applying what I've read. Then I forget the information, reread it and the cycle goes on.

    What was the first step everyone here took to this fitness stuff and how did you keep going without burning out with how you have to keep track of your carbs, make sure you have a work out routine chosen that actually fits and then make it progressively harder to ensure growth?

    I keep getting motivated and then giving up and it's getting sad and irritating.

    CrossFit training

    Posted: 04 Sep 2020 11:18 PM PDT

    I'm (M17) 178 cm tall and 99 kg in weight. I'm moderately fat and I go to gym. My trainer there says I cannot do CrossFit training at the gym, which will result in injuries. If the redditors of this sub can offer some insights into whether I can go forward with this, it will be every helpful.

    Need help modifying Alphadestiny's novice program

    Posted: 04 Sep 2020 10:09 PM PDT

    This is what the program looks like. 3 day split A/B/A, B/A/B alternating each week.

    Workout A:

    Box Squat 3/5×4-6
    Floor Press or Pause Bench 3/5×4-6
    Pendlay Row 3/5×4-6
    Overhead Barbell Extension 3×6-10
    Barbell/Dumbbell Preacher Curl 3×6-10
    Stiff-Legged Deadlift/Good Morning 2-3×6-10
    Weighted Plank 3×30-60s

    Workout B:

    Box Squat 3/5×4-6
    Paused Overhead Press 3/5×4-6
    Trap-Bar Deadlift 2×4-6
    Close-Grip Bench Press 3×6-8
    Weighted Chin-up 3×3-5
    Weighted Plank 3×30-60s

    more detailed info here.

    I've been running this program for a few months, just testing and learning the form and perfecting the movements, intentionally not progressing the weight as the program recommends.

    I work out at home since gyms are closed and I don't have all the equipment to do all the exercises mentioned. So I had to change some exercises based on what I have. However I'm not sure if what I'm doing is completely correct. This is what the program I'm currently running:

    Workout A:

    Bulgarian split squat 3x10-12
    Pause Bench 3×4-6
    Optional: Push ups 2/3x5-10 (chest focus)
    Bent over barbell row 3×10-12
    Overhead dumbbell extension 3×6-10
    Dumbbell Curl/Hammer curl 3×6-10
    Stiff-Legged Deadlift 2-3×6-10
    Lying leg raises - russiant twists - crunches - plank. (1 set, close to failure each, 10-15 sec rest inbetween)
    Optional: Band face pulls 2x12

    Workout B:

    Bulgarian split squat 3x10-12
    Paused Overhead Press 3×4-6
    Lateral Dumbbell Raises 3x12
    Stiff-Legged Deadlift 2-3×6-10
    Close-Grip Bench Press 3×6-8
    Lat pulldown underhand grip 3x5-8
    Wide grip lat pull down 3x12
    Optional: lying leg raises - russiant twists - crunches - plank. (1 set, close to failure each, 10-15 sec rest in between)
    Optional: Band face pulls 2x12

    Alphadestiny recommends not adding to or modifying the program since its already high volume but since I can't do the hard lifts anyway (deadlift, squat, chin up) because I don't have floor padding, pull up bar or squat rack yet, so I added more upper body exercises.

    My main focus is losing the last bits of fat, gaining strength and size, mostly size in upper body. I'm a beginner so my weights are low right now but as I progress will this program be maintainable or is it too much ? especially when I'm trying to maintain a calorie deficit and recomp.

    For reference I'm 6'1", 154 lbs, probably 18-20% body fat (very rough guess).

    Weak squat but strong deadlift - what to do?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 01:16 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I'm 22M weighing 188 and I'm having a really hard time squatting.

    I normally squat 3 times a week and sometimes 4 times a week. My squat is now at 205 for 5 reps. Sometime in the past it was at 275 for 5 but I always regress at this point until I'm able to just squat 220 and less. It's very frustrating.

    My deadlift on the other hand is progressing with minimal work. I can deadlift once a week and progress without any problems. My 10 rep max deadlift is 315.

    I also deadlifted even 3 and 4 times a week and made good progress.

    Help and input is greatly appreciated!

    Rapidly decreasing reps during bench press?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 04:05 AM PDT

    If I am doing bench press I do the following sets: warmup 12x 1. 7x 2. 4x 3. 3x

    What could be the reason that the number of reps is so sharply declining? After the first real set I basically barely have any power left to do reps. I would be happy with the weight to do 3x 7 but for the dear life of me after the first set I can't increase the number of reps. Any ideas what to work on? My condition otherwise is fine and I can train 90 minutes without feeling exhausted.

    Hanging leg raises technique?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 03:05 AM PDT

    Hey everyone, one of my favourite abs exercises is hanging leg raises, however I see some people doing controlled movement, legs from straight down to straight out (about 90° angle) and back down, while others just push them to even touch their hands on the bar, curving the back and, at least as far as I tried, actually using some momentum from hips movement.

    What are the differences, and is there any better version?

    Leg day troubles

    Posted: 04 Sep 2020 03:39 PM PDT

    Been doing a push, pull, legs program, but leg day has been a real struggle, i work 8-10 hours Mon-Fri and i do quite a bit of heavy lifting, i also do Judo Tuesdays and Thursdays for a total of 3 hours. I find that by the time leg day comes around my legs are already so sore from work and Judo that i can barely squat anything, like 50 lbs less than what i normally do and after a set or two i feel like my legs are going to give out. If i dont do heavy lifting for legs will i get chicken legs? My push and pull days are great, but im worried that training my upper body and lower body so differently will effect my physique in a bad way, will my legs still get bigger if im not doing a proper leg day?

    IF vs Paleo. All a fad? Or is the science compelling..

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 01:58 AM PDT

    I have IFd in the past with great results. I have not tried Paleo. There are so many "diets" or "fads" out there. Where is the resources to go and take an objective view of what you should or should not put into your body.

    The talk on Joe Rogan with Vegan guy Vs Ex Vegan guy was interesting.

    Is there a good resource I can be printed to.

    Specifically, for middle aged male.

    Workout out with Cubitus valgus

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 01:35 AM PDT

    Cubitus valgus is when your elbow is bent at angle. My elbow can touch each other with ease when my arms are straight. I have been struggling with curls, especially when doing seated curls or preacher curls. There is too much pressure on my forearms when trying to do preacher curls or seating curls. Are there any ways that I can modify curls to suit my arms?

    Help with where to take my physique

    Posted: 04 Sep 2020 10:21 PM PDT

    Personal info about me: I'm 17, 5'9-10 and as of last night am 130lbs. I started working out with some sit-ups and pushups (not what I do now) in June and have lost about 15 pounds.

    I'm posting here because I'm wondering if maybe I'm losing too much? Like I said I'm only 130, but my chest is not nearly flat, although it could be better, and my arms are doing alright at about 13 inches around. My abs, midsection have been a big focus of mine as that's where the fat seems to go right to.

    My goal would be to have better defined abs. I can see them now at all times but faintly. I'm worried if I try and cut again I would be considered underweight and I certainly do not want to lost the muscle that I've built up (to prevent that I've been trying to match my body weight in protein, 130lb=130g).

    Any help would be unbelievably helpful as I don't have really anyone to ask about this. Thanks for your time.

    Losing weight

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 01:08 AM PDT

    If I want to lose fat fast (at a moderate pace) should I do heavier weights but fewer reps or lighter weights but more reps?

    And while I'm not at the gym, whats the best non equipment excercise to burn fat? cause all i really have is a skipping rope.

    Confession: I'm a man and i don't watch sports. Thoughts?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 01:02 AM PDT

    I used to be a bodybuilder so usually whenever my masculinity comes into question I have that, I still plan on getting back into it cuz i hate not being jacked and fat now. I just don't see the appeal of sports, I love hitting people in sports and playing them, but why is watching them so popular? I can honestly only get into hockey or football when im super hammered, I occasionally ask my friends how our home team did on a game (city pride) but other than that I just use it as an excuse to get drunk. I find the puck or football flying around just kind of disorients me and hurts my eyes/brain and I get so stressed/angry when everything takes forever to finish.
