| Posted: 02 Oct 2020 03:04 AM PDT Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack. So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:
Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line. So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday? [link] [comments] |
| For my job I'm gonna have to run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes and 28 seconds Posted: 01 Oct 2020 10:14 PM PDT Like the title says i have to run 1.5 miles in 15 mins and 28 seconds. I'm not a good runner and im not a fast runner. Do you have any advice other than just run more that can get me through this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 10:06 PM PDT 21M/132lbs/5' 6" Hey everyone, Currently, I'm running on around 1500 calories and on a deficit of about 400 calories a day from 138 in an effort to lose body fat, and while I am slimmer in my stomach, I still have love handles on the side. Is there a point in continuing to cut calories and lose weight or would I be better served aesthetic and strength-wise just putting on a surplus of 200 calories on my TDEE and focusing on muscle mass and worrying about the love handles later? Based on the sub wiki, it says it doesn't really matter whether I bulk or cut first based on my body, but if I stay on a cut I'll be pushing into the 120 lb range Based on my MFP I'm eating around: 0.9 - 1 gram of protein/lb 0.5 - 0.6 gram of fat/lb 0.7 - 1 gram of carb/lb I've been doing PHAT + cardio for about two months and cutting for 1 month. I've always been quite poor at weightlifting, and while I'm not progressing as much as SS or SL (probably should have started there), I've been able to keep a consistent schedule and enjoy the workout. Started at the Bar in the beginning: Squat: 165 Deadlift: 185 BP: 135 If there's any other info I need, I'll be glad to add it in. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Is blood Oxygen a good indication of fitness? Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:35 AM PDT Apple Watch Series 6 has been touting their blood oxygen feature mostly it seems like to see if you're sick. I was wondering if blood oxygen is a good indication of physical fitness, as in better cardiovascular (or general I guess) fitness correlates to higher blood oxygen levels? [link] [comments] |
| Trouble with leg drive on flat bench press! Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:33 AM PDT Hello guys, hope this post doesn't get deleted, i don't see any reason for it, but you never know with this sub. So here goes, i have trouble finding a proper position to use a good leg drive on my flat bench press. Funny enough, on the inclined bench press and declined i have found a great position for my legs which helps me leg drive and for that reason i can push way more than in the flat bench press. I tried various positions for my legs but i cant find the "best" way to properly use my legs for the drive. I've been experimenting alot but nothing seems to feel as proper as the position i get on the inclined and declined. In those variations i feel my legs properly being used but not in the flat bench press. Can i get any suggestions? [link] [comments] |
| Is it worth it/wise to make your own weight plates, and how long will they last? Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:00 AM PDT I'm moving to Tokyo, Japan in less than a month, I'm in no financial condition to be able to afford to go to a gym regularly in Tokyo, so I'm looking into building my own equipment. I can afford a second hand barbell and rack just fine, so the most pressing thing is the weight plates. Has anyone here tried this before and can self made concrete weight plates withstand deadlifts? Are there better materials to build plates with? [link] [comments] |
| Is it easier to injure a muscle loaded with lactic acid? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 06:18 PM PDT I am experiencing DOMS in my calves right now. Which is causing me to tiptoe around because my calves are rocks. Anyway, as I was going to bed and I almost slipped on my rug and it got me thinking.. When a muscle is sore, hard as rock with lactic acid, is it easier to injure? How fragile are my calves right now? Is the fragility based on my soreness? I understand muscles micro-tear and rebuild themselves (maybe, idk the academic state of physiology right now). But some days, some other muscles don't nearly get as sore. But I assume they are in weakened state. However, sometimes, my calves are absolutely fucked. Is that my calves going.. "Hey Han diggity dog, you really whacked your calves yesterday with a solid 🏋️♀️ . Good fucking job. But just so know, you are now working at 36.2% capacity in your right calf, causing it to be 78% more fragile to abrupt movements. Exceeding that limit will cause each calf fiber to pop like stretched rubber band being cut in half." I'm asking for all muscle groups, not just for my chicken legs. [link] [comments] |
| Total Gym mass building workout routines? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 10:21 PM PDT Hello all. For my 18th, I got a Total Gym. I've been using it for a while but I don't believe i'm making the most of it. I'm wondering if there's any others who have one and use it for muscle building and would be kind enough to share their tips and /or routines with me (and seLliNg iT anD gEttInG dumBeLlS is not an option) :) Thanks [link] [comments] |
