Is it worth working out this late at night?

Posted: 02 Sep 2020 10:54 PM PDT

Hey, I am a student and I just recently started working out. I do it everyday and have been at it for 5 days now. Sometimes I have homework that can take all evening and I would only get the chance to work out very late at night. Tonight is one of those nights. Its almost 1am and I haven't done today's workout. My question is would working out at this time do me any good or should I just go to sleep?

Bruxism/Gnawing gums during running?

Posted: 03 Sep 2020 04:44 AM PDT

Hi there. I like to run. I took a week break recently due to laziness, and went back with a big uphill run. On the downhill part of the run I realised I had started (subconsciously), grinding my teeth and gnawing at my gums. Is this a normal thing? I havent experienced it before. Thanks

Gregs Doucettes Training Book -Confused on what to believe

Posted: 03 Sep 2020 04:20 AM PDT

Hi guys,

im sure a lot of you follow and appreciate the Doktor. If you watched a few of his videos and or got his training book you will notice that his opinion is that for hypertrophy you should almost always train in the 10-15 rep range and for time under tension purposes do a 1 second concrentric and a 2 second excentric movement. In his opinion a set should last around 35-45 Seconds. In his training book all of the exercises shouldnt be performed under 10 reps too.

I wanted to try this type of training because for the longest time i always trained in the 5-8 rep range for compound movements and in the 8-12 rep range for isolation movements. But i never did the 3 second long reps. It was more like 1-2 seconds.

Turns out this type of training is WAY harder so you have to use WAY lower weights (duh). Maybe its my ego but it feels a bit weird to me. Especially because people like eric helms or brad schoenfeld doesnt support Gregs claims to my knowledge.

On the other hand it kind of makes sense: If i perform a 100kg on the benchpress for 25 reps (5x5) this turns out to 2500 „volume units". Or if i do 4x8 with a 100kg it would turn out to 3200 VU. If i perform 60kg for 60 reps (4x15) that turns out to 3600 volume units. AND my time under tension is higher per set. So in theory the second method should be better and build more muscle or not?

Whats your take on it?

F19 with broad shoulders, would weight training make them look worse ?

Posted: 03 Sep 2020 04:09 AM PDT

Hii, I'm a female with broad shoulders and I want to lose fat with weight training. However, I'm worried that my broad shoulders will look more obvious when I start training more. Any tips ?

How important is a body scan for a beginner in PT?

Posted: 03 Sep 2020 01:34 AM PDT

I've currently got two options with PT:

seems to be more recognized and established, but doesn't do body scan instead use fat calippers
less known but with a track record also, provide body scan

So my question is which should i prioritise? lets assume price etc are similar.

Example

Started working out and I have this. Not sure if it's an imbalance or just because my body is like this.

Any advice would be appreciated on how to correct this issue. Not sure how to. Thank you
