| Posted: 19 Oct 2020 02:58 PM PDT I want to increase the amount of push-ups I can do but I am unsure of when to do them during my workout. I am currently running Metallicsdpas PPL 6 days a week and don't know when to do push-ups on my push days. [link] [comments] |
| Bench Press - Are you supposed to breathe into your chest? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 02:18 AM PDT I've never heard anyone address this specifically. Good bench press technique involves 'reaching' your chest as high as you can. Would it make sense to breathe as much air as possible into your chest to increase the height further and decrease the ROM slightly? I've heard plenty about 'breathing into your stomach' for bracing on squats and deadlifts, and rightly so as it's the most important factor in a heavy lift, but the bracing on the bench press is normally glossed over a bit.

| How many days would you train just to maintain muscle? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 02:07 AM PDT I play sports competitively and will be training for it 3 times a week with one day of the week being game day (it's in season now). I've built up some strength during the off season and was wondering how many times I should gym just to maintain this strength. [link] [comments] |
| Crackling sound in my left hip Posted: 20 Oct 2020 01:59 AM PDT Hi , 15M here. There is a crackling sound in my left hip area whenever I walk/run. It's not painful but it just feels weird. The crackling sound is not loud but I can feel it. I didn't do any extreme exercise whatsoever. I am 82 kg and my height is 5'10. Also, please mind the fact that my bone density is large. My hip bones are wide. Any advice is good advice. [link] [comments] |
| Split squats and single leg RDL enough for lower body ? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 04:08 AM PDT I have kettlebells at home and if i can get away with these 2 exercises alone for lower body then I will just add them to my upper body workout to hit them 3 times a week. Will these be enough to hit quads hamstrings and glutes equally ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Oct 2020 12:01 AM PDT I'm excited to hit the gym again, or run, or literally workout for once. But it's hard to flip the switch, so I'm looking to improve my life outside of workouts first as a way to get more energized and mindful of my goals without taking that plunge so suddenly. I'll be hitting some of the obvious criteria: stay hydrated, keep a consistent sleep schedule, try to avoid junk food, etc. My push goals are more along these lines: Quick stretches in the morning, sitting straight-up, standing correctly, primal squatting when I need to bend down, and quick bedtime stretches. But what are your "swear-by" daily routines you engage in? Do you hang from a bar for 30 seconds? Do you do 10 squats after using the bathroom? Do you hold a handstand against the wall? Shadow boxing? What is something that takes nearly no time, or can be implemented into my existing routine to enhance my "passive life?" [link] [comments] |
| How to estimate level of physical activity when losing weight while strength training? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 03:42 AM PDT I'm 186cm, 115kg, 21M. I've been strength training on/ off for a couple of years, and since being allowed back into the gym, I've started to surpass where I was when they closed. Anyway, I've also got back on trying to maintain a 1000kcal deficit a day, using MyFitnessPal. The problem is that technically, I spend most of my time sitting down (although I also need to focus intensely during this time, which does require calories, and when I am maintaining a particularly hard deficit for the day, I am very unproductive), and I also don't have enough time to get cardio in most days. So the app has got me at ~8900kJ a day (sorry for the mix of units, I just know that 1000kcal a day = 1kg a week weight loss). The thing is that most days this is ludicrous, and I am not starving because I am running low carbs and am eating enough of a substantiated diet, but I am incredibly low on energy (less than a 1000kcal deficit). Sometimes I even go way over the goals to which it says I am going to gain weight, for days at a time, and every day I will lose weight over a week. Sometimes I've noticed (in the past) that I can drop up to 3kg a week, which is just far too rapid for me - I'd rather have the calories to achieve more elsewhere. This hasn't been happening so much over the past weeks, but I do feel if I ate slightly more that I would be able to exercise more... Does anyone have advice on this? Am I to completely ignore the app's presets as they clearly don't apply to strength trainers? [link] [comments] |
| Amateur kickboxer wanting to get into competitive shape. Posted: 20 Oct 2020 02:04 AM PDT Hey everyone, I'm new here. I've been kickboxing for about a year. Mostly I've been focused on losing weight but I want to try competing in amateur matches and I want to get into fighting shape. The problem is that I've heard so much conflicting information about the best conditioning methods for fighting. Should I lift weights? Bodyweight exercises? Should I go running? What kinds of exercises and reps should I do? Can I include it into my workout or do I need to do it on separate days. I'm not particularly fit and I don't have much lifting experience either. So what do you all recommend? I'm 175 cm tall, about 80 kgs. According to an online calculator my body fat percentage is about 25%. Ideally, I'd like to get down to compete at 73 kgs. I go to my gym 3x a week and work out for 2 hours. I do a mix of cycling, jump rope, heavy bag work, mitt work, and light sparring. My gym has some barbells, bench press, kettlebells, medicine balls but I've never used any of them. I'm pretty clueless and new to all of this, so thanks everyone for your help! EDIT: Probably should have included that I currently live abroad and I don't speak the local language well. My coach has done his best with limited communication and pantomiming. He gives me a lot of instruction on kickboxing technique by drill and example but my other conditioning is mostly self driven. [link] [comments] |
| Lost all my bench power what should I do? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 12:08 AM PDT Been two weeks that I can't bench what I used to. I've been doing a 5/3/1 type program for several months and reached a 1RM of 90 kg. For the last couple of weeks I can't manage to do more than 70 kg and I even struggled to get 5 reps of 50 kg. I get too shaky and I struggle to lift the bar from my chest and the bar moves too slow. And it's not like I'm new to lifting or that my form is bad, I used to follow random programs over the last year and I would usually bench 70 kg for 8 reps for 4 sets. My other lifts are fine and they're not affected, and I'm not even feeling tired. I usually do some other chest exercises such as dumbbells press or machine inclined presses and both of these lifts seem fine too. What could be the reason and how should I fix this?

| Would this be considered a well-balanced diet? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 02:55 AM PDT Everyday I eat: • oats with almond milk/water with some fruits. • Chicken breast, rice, broccoli/spinach. Yes, I know there are plenty of other lean meats I could eat but I love it. I eat this twice a day, but for dinner I would skip the rice. • 11 pieces of almond • Protein shake I enjoy eating like this, and I'm hitting my macros. Is there something I need to incorporate?

| I gained 20lbs of muscle in 3 months? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 02:40 AM PDT Hi there, so I started weightlifting 2.5 months ago. I was 180lbs and 10% body fat. That is 162lbs of fat-free mass and 18lbs of fat. Right now, after those 2.5 months, I gained 20lbs of fat-free mass??!! Now I weigh 202lbs, 16% body fat. I take creatine monohydrate, but I don't think water is the reason of so much weight. Does anyone know what's going on? [link] [comments] |
| How much time should I give myself to trim from 16% body fat to 12%? Posted: 19 Oct 2020 09:53 PM PDT Essentially, how long should I make this cut last. I'm currently eating at a defict of a 500 calories per day for the past 3 days, and weigh in at 157 pounds, 15.7% body fat five or take. Wouldn't consider myself skinny fat as I have a fair bit of upper body muscle, but at the same time not super muscular. My long term goal is to get to 80-85kg, but I want to get rid of that excess bf before hand. [link] [comments] |
