| More Attention Being Given to Body Recomposition - A Few Additional Questions Posted: 12 Oct 2020 01:51 PM PDT When I first got into weightlifting the common knowledge seemed to be there are cycles of bulking, cutting, and if you're really tracking your diet and lifting closely, there's the middle ground of the "lean bulk." I've since seen a number of YouTubers and others discussing body recomposition with the main premise being this; that even if you are under your maintenance calories on a consistent daily basis, and engaging in progressive overload with your lifts, the body will "draw on" stored fat calories and these fat calories will be what drives muscle growth. Thus, you have the holy grail of losing fat and gaining muscle simultaneously over time. Yet, I often hear folks add this extra bit; that body recomposition isn't as effective for muscle growth as just doing a regular lean bulk (being in a calorie surplus with consumed calories). This is the piece I don't get. If the body will just keep drawing from fat to make up the caloric deficit in order to build muscle, why isn't this just as effective as having a caloric surplus from food? [link] [comments] |
| Do wrist wraps help as a complete beginner? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 04:45 AM PDT I'm a dude with ridiculously small wrist. The smallest you could possibly imagine. When I used to work out at home I always felt pain in my wrists whenever I reached a certain amount of weight on my dumbbells so now that I finally signed up for a gym membership I ordered a pair of wrist wraps to help with stability and maybe prevent my wrists from hurting again. Do they actually help or is this just a myth? I understand that heavy lifters use those but I'm going to start with what you would probably consider baby weights so I don't know if it's just going to end up looking stupid. [link] [comments] |
