    Are Jeff Nippard's workout plans worth the money?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 11:07 AM PDT

    After gyms opened up in my area I used his free comeback plan and I really liked it. I'm wondering if his paid for ones are worth the money. Just to be clear, I'm not asking for general opinions on fitness YouTubers. I'm asking for anyone who has used one of his specific plans to please offer some feedback about what they thought of it.

    Are front rack isometric holds good for building the upper back in comparison to other exercises?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 08:20 AM PDT

    I've heard a lot of olympic weightlifters do this to get a stronger upper-back and get more comfortable in a front rack position with a heavy ass weight. My question is: Is this exercise comparable to more common dynamic upper-back exercises like cable rows or pull-ups? Have any of you done this exercise for an extended period of time and gotten great results with it? With results I basically: mean did you gain strength and upper-back size with the exercise?

    Progressice overload and muslce growth - something I can't make sense of

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 09:32 PM PDT

    I've been trying to find a clear answer on how this works but I can't find an explanation, that at least for me, is clear enough.

    I've been following a a custom program and tracking exercises/weights/sets/reps each session very strictly.

    I've gained muscle and weight and I can see physical changes.

    My question is: on days I decide to not actually increase weight/reps/intensity for a specific exercise compared to the last time I did it, will my muscles still grow as a result? Or is progressive overload absolutely required each time to see physical results? What about if I decide not to increase weight/reps/intensity for two or three sessions in a row, is there a point where your muscles won't grow as a result despite good diet due a lack of progressive overload?

    Diet and sleep are in check, just curious about the above point and would love some thoughts from this board.

    Beginner routine advices

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 04:43 AM PDT

    I'm 18, 5'10 and I weight 57kg, I started hitting the gym 2 weeks ago and I'm looking for a routine. I can't choose between 3-4 days full body per week and a 6 days PPL per week. I know a lot of people recommend full body for noobs but I have the time to hit the gym as many times per week as I want.

    Help strengthening shoulder for overhead squat

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 02:41 AM PDT

    So I dislocated my shoulder snowboarding back in February and have recently got back into weights. My favourite exercise before the injury was overhead squats but I can not seem to squat with even an empty bar. My left shoulder seems really weak when trying to lower into the squat in that position.

    I have no problem with overhead press but was wondering if anybody has gone through a similar thing or if anybody knows any exercises that will strengthen my shoulder in that position.

    How to fix a restrictive diet?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 10:52 PM PDT

    Hello glory redditors. Hope y'all doing well. I have a problem about my diet. 3 months ago, I've started a somewhat aggressive cut with 1500 calories. I knew nothing about nutrition so I thought that was a good idea. Like no junk food or no sugary stuff. I didn't even eat outside because I thought that I wouldn't find something that would stick to my diet. And I would okay with these, I didn't have any cravings or something. It's my first cut and it's been pretty successful. But for the last 2 weeks, when I go out to eat, I overeat. I don't overeat on the restaurant food that much, I overeat afterwards on cookies, chocolate and ice creams like sugary stuff. And when I'm full, like my stomach hurta so bad, I wait for the pain to go away and then eat again. I know what I do is bad but I keep doing it anyways. And morning after, I do more cardio to compensate. I fucking walked 40 kms yesterday. What should I do to introduce these foods to my diet again? Thanks for the replies!

    I'm a male btw.

    If i workout at 12am instead of 6am will it effect my progress.

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 10:21 PM PDT

    So of course that wouldnt if there wasnt the factor that if i worked out at 12am id go to sleep after and if i work out at 6am i wouldve just woke up. Im about to start a workout program involving a morning cardio workout and a evening lifting workout and to be able to do the morning workout before school i have to wake up at 6am so i gotta go to bed at 10pm but i love night time a lot so im sad lettin it go. But if it makes a difference, im willing to give it up. From what i know, a morning cardio workout should boost my metabolism for the rest of the day...would i burn just as many calories and boost my metabolism just as much if i do cardio before i sleep as i would if i do cardio in the morning? And Would there be any other differences between the two? Thanks

    Stopping my cardio

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 05:59 PM PDT

    So I started my weight loss journey last March and thankfully I seem to have lost a great amount of weight according to my friends. I'm just doing basic cardio, push ups and planks. But now I have a few questions:

    1. If I stop doing cardio, will I gain weight again? I'm scared of this happening, like will all my hard work be for nothing if I stop doing cardio?

    2. How can I maintain my weight now if I won't do cardio anymore?

    Sprints the day after a high intensity leg day?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 11:33 AM PDT

    Friday tends to be my heavy leg day, meaning low volume high intensity. I then usually take a full weekend off aside from some LISS such as walking or a short leisurely bike ride but I've been wanting to program in a sprint day on Saturday. Nothing too extreme, I'm thinking 5-10 x 10-15 sec sprints, depending on how I feel (I haven't done sprints for years.) Is this a bad idea considering that I also have a higher volume leg day on Monday?

    Some things to consider: I very rarely feel sore following a heavy leg workout, any fatigue I do feel is more CNS related than DOMs. I'm a natural lifter and have never nor am I likely to ever use gear/SARMs (not hating, just my personal situation.) I do also have a bike and an erg so if regular sprints might be a bad idea then would cycle or rowing sprints be a better alternative?

    Anybody with any experience with programming sprints into their schedule who has advice would be greatly appreciated. I've done the obligatory googling and the usual contradictory T-Nation and bodybuilding.com articles are no help. Testimonials from people in a similar situation are always more valuable imo.
