| I'm hesitant to do P90X because it's based on "muscle confusion" Posted: 30 Sep 2020 06:01 PM PDT Hi Reddit, I've been interested in starting P90x since it can be done mostly at home and with no equipment. I've tried to recreate my gym workouts with dumbbells at home, but it just hasn't been working. However, I was reading through the pamphlet, and it's selling point is that it constantly changes up the exercises in order to "confuse" your muscles which is now scientifically disproven. My roommate tells me it's a good program (although she never completed it lol), and I'm tempted to go with it since she already has the CD's and I won't have to buy anything new, but the fact it's based on a scientifically incorrect principle (muscle confusion instead of progressive overload) worries me. Do you guys still think it's a worthwhile program or is there a better one that you recommend that's worth buying (that can be done at home with very minimal equipment)? [link] [comments] |
| Training for 2k in under 11minutes! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:08 AM PDT I've got a question that hopefully somebody can answer for me. I need to run 2km is 11minutes and need to know how fast It would take if I ran at 11km/h. I ran at 10km/h but it was a bit too slow. Is there a website I can calculate this? I'm not very good at maths lol [link] [comments] |

| When to narrow the caloric deficit? 148kg to 94kg Posted: 01 Oct 2020 01:20 AM PDT Hey everyone, just looking for some advice/insight regarding how to handle fitness and deficit while approaching my goals. So I've been on a pretty intense weight loss journey for the past year, starting at 148kg last October I'm now at 94kg (M25, 178cm for reference). I've achieved it through a pretty decent caloric deficit (typically 1000 calories per day) as well as a lot of cardio (running up to 60km per week at times). In the last 8 weeks I've added strength training in the form of a standard 3 day PPL and reduced my running to about 30km per week. I'm still maintaining a significant calorie deficit. I'm already seeing the benefits of adding strength training, both aesthetically and drastically improved running performance. My goal weight is around 80kg but I'm flexible, I want to see how I feel as I get closer to that weight. I've got a decent muscle mass so imagine I may be quite happy on the heavier side. I suppose my question is, at what point should I stop the focus on losing fat and close the calorie deficit? Does it make sense to try to get down to a certain weight (or body fat %) and then close the calorie deficit and lean heavy into the lifting? I'm conscious off getting "skinny fat" so am trying to maintain as much muscle as possible while losing the fat. But at the same time I enjoy watching the kilos fall off pretty quickly! I think after neurotically counting calories for so long, it's difficult to think about no longer eating at a deficit. So I'm looking for any advice on what approach to take as I trend towards my goal. Thanks for reading and I appreciate any advice. [link] [comments] |
| Does the way your muscles end up looking depend on the exercises you're doing? Posted: 30 Sep 2020 11:14 PM PDT So there seems to be a lot of information out there revolving around the concept that, for example, if you do exercise X for the chest - you'll develop pecs that look more developed from the outside-in than from the inner-pecs outward. On the other hand some say, if you do exercise Y - you'll develop more of the "inner portion of the pecs". You can find examples for any muscle group. My question is - is this even true? Can you even physically develop the "inner chest" more than "outside chest"? Is that even anatomically possible? [link] [comments] |
