| Ways to minimize negative effects of running? Posted: 06 Oct 2020 09:14 AM PDT If this question has been asked before, my bad. Currently trying to add some size to my legs, started a modified PPL a couple weeks back. I've got a German Shepherd mix (high activity breed) who I run with out of necessity — at least a 5k but sometimes cracking 6 miles, at least 5-6 times/week. I try to take it a bit easier on leg days, usually slowing that down to a 30 minute 5k jog. I realize that regular, high-impact cardio isn't ideal for leg recovery and hypertrophy. Will it be detrimental enough to significantly hinder my growth? Are there ways to help boost recovery or partially negate some of the muscle damage? I'm very conscious of running with good, efficient form. The pup and I are working on improving his fetch skills, but he's always hated it, and to be honest our runs are really enjoyable for both of us. Thoughts from the community? Again, if this is a redundant post, feel free to delete and link me others' posts. Thanks y'all. EDIT: Y'all are some knowledgeable folks. Sounding like I need to (a) time my recovery correctly, (b) make sure I'm eating enough to remain in a growth surplus, and (c) stay in tune with my own body to prevent injury and maintain a balance. I and my dog thank you for all the replies! Cheers. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 04:59 AM PDT I have been enjoying the Reddit PPL for the last 1.5 years (with a 4 month gap when gyms were closed). But I am confident it is now time for a change. I guess I just want some advice on what new program I should move to? I am able to go 6x a week and my recovery (sleep and nutrition) is solid. Will 6x a week always be superior to 4 or 5x a week, in terms of hypertrophy? Is there any advantages to selecting fewer than 6x a week if I am able to commit to that? (and if so, which 6x a week routine is best) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Oct 2020 09:57 PM PDT Hey I've seen some people say that doing pull-ups before bench increases stability in the bench. But I found today after doing so I was able to do more pull-ups, but also made the weight move super slow on the bench. Would it still make more sense to bench first if that's my primary focus?

| Using one leg more during squats Posted: 07 Oct 2020 05:04 AM PDT Hey guys! I don't know if this is the right place to post this question. I played a lot of soccer, but I dislocated my knee 3 times in short succession. So I recently began with fitness again. After leg day I noticed that my right leg is more sore, I also noticed that my right leg has more muscle. I injured my left knee so I think this the reason. I try to consciously push with my left leg but to no avail. I also started doing isolation work on both my legs with the same weight to try and even the difference but I still want to progress at squatting. Should I just focus on my left leg and leave squats for later, or do you guys have any suggestions? For context I don't have any pain in my knee anymore, and it is fully healed. But I still seem to use my other leg more. [link] [comments] |
