| I’m nervous about looking weird in the gym. Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:33 PM PDT So I'm really considering weightlifting as I'm a skinny... skinny fat guy who could use some muscle. And from what I've seen beginners should start with the bar when bench pressing, deadlifting etc. I'm just a very self conscious person who's scared of going to a gym and looking weird. Any one have any words of wisdom for these very real qualm I have. [link] [comments] |
| Dominant side doing all the work during calisthenics. Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:06 AM PDT I've been doing pull-ups and chin ups in 3 sets of 8-10 every few days now. But of late it's really starting to wear on my right forearm and elbow. As I pay attention to the movement I can clearly feel the right side doing more of the work and ends up a little sorer as well. I'd even got an injury some time back on my right elbow doing these (which is why i'd stopped doing pull ups for a while in the first place). Any advice to help my left/non dominant side do more work for these exercises and other calisthenics like push ups? I really want to avoid injuring my elbow in particular again, took about a week last time to recover. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 06:05 PM PDT I'm currently doing Jeff Nippard's upper/lower program and it's going quite well. The only issue I have run into is that I would like to emphasize certain muscle groups but I don't know how to do it with out hindering other muscle groups or having to work out for way too long etc. The muscles I definitely feel are lagging would be my upper chest for sure, arms, and calves. Any tips would be great, thanks [link] [comments] |
| Is it too early to focus on hypertrophy? Posted: 09 Oct 2020 02:00 AM PDT Yo, so some context is probably in order: 27 | Male | 77kgs | 23%bf | I am currently on a cut, roughly 500 calorie deficit, aiming for 12%bf. Currently doing Stronglifts for probably the 5th time now. Every time I start it, my bench always stalls at 65kgs, squat about 105kgs, OHP about 42.5, and deadlift about the same as the squat. After that, it becomes very hard for me to make progress. My question is, even when I made it up to those numbers, I never even looked like I lifted. I would like to put on some mass, but I keep hearing conflicting things such as 'Don't focus on hypertrophy until you can squat 1.5 times your body weight'. Essentially, don't start a hypertrophy program until you're strong enough. But I've been reading Eric Helms's book on training, and he is saying that beginners can start a hypertrophy program that still includes some strength work and vice versa. Just so much conflicting advice. Really, my goals are to put on some mass, and I would like to get strong while doing so. I think I have enough fat on my body to cover the deficit too. Should I instead focus on more of the 8-12 rep range if my goals are more hypertrophy oriented? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 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] |
| Occasional Second Gym Visit Per Day Posted: 08 Oct 2020 10:18 PM PDT Hi guys, I've just started getting serious about gaining and am doing the PHUL workout after work at roughly midday, as that is what works into my week best at this stage and seems to be hitting most muscles and getting me used to a variety of exercises. I do 10 minutes of cardio before hand, takes me about an hour to go through the program and then do a few ab exercises for about 10-15 minutes. My question is this; I'm trying to support my wife in her weightloss, and she wants to get going at the gym also, this will be in addition to my regular workout at approx 5:30pm and I thought it could be good if I accompany her sometimes, these will probably be 20-40 minute visits; but probably not regular enough to switch my main workout; what should I do on these sessions? I don't want to wreck recovery times or anything, light cardio? Or should I just do various additional accessory exercises that target the same muscle group that I've worked most recently/that morning? Or something else? Thoughts? TL:DR want to support wife by accompanying her to the gym in addition to my workout routine, what should I do on these visits? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 04:45 AM PDT Hey everyone a little background information about me. Im 19 male and I started working out 1.5 years ago. My bench max was like 40kg and 62kg bw. Now I weigh 83Kg and my bench max is 105kg. So yea I simply think its nothing to brag about and I have been watching videos and listening to podcasts from bodybuilders from my country and so many of them say like "I started working out when I was 14 and after 6 months and I benched 120kg" I mean how is that possible. Did they bench like everyday or do they just happen to have good genetics. I never really want to talk about genetics cause I dont want that to be an excuse. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 03:03 AM PDT Sorry if that's a vague title but I've been having a problem lately when I do lifts such as squats or deadlifts. I take a deep breath and try to brace for those lifts, but by the time I'm finished my sets my hearing in my right ear gets muffled. I've read that holding your breath can cause high pressure in your ears that'll cause that muffled sound. I value my hearing a lot and reeealllyy don't want to damage my ears Has anyone else had this problem? Should I try to breath through my lifts more? Am I bracing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 02:55 AM PDT This may be a very stupid question. Can anyone explain why I can do less regular pushup reps even though I am stronger than before? I think I am stronger since I am now very close to doing an archer pushup and I can also now do pull ups which I wasn't able to do before. Could it be muscular endurance? 2 months ago I was doing pushups every day and going up bye 1 everyday and got up to 35 but lately I started doing harder variations and today I tried doing regular pushups after a while and only got 27. Also can you give me some tips on achieving one arm pushups and building size in my muscles [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 02:13 AM PDT What is the purpose of increased caloric intake during a bulk in repairing damaged muscle fibers? Does the general increase in caloric intake help, or is it just the increase in protein intake that comes with eating more? [link] [comments] |
| Beginner looking for affordable but quality adjustable dumbbells. Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:41 PM PDT As the title says. I want to revisit my fitness goals (2020 can go fuck itself, lol) and I want to start building a bit of muscle. I looked into getting the Bowflex 552 adjustable dumbbells, but those are expensive to begin with and they're currently going for much more than their original price... Is there a set of adjustable dumbbells that you more experienced lifters would recommend that won't completely destroy my pocketbook? I'd be fine with something around $200, with a bit of wiggle room if there's something for really good quality that's slightly more than that around. I'm open to all suggestions at this point. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| nSuns 4 day routine - changing CGBP on day three Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:03 AM PDT My gym only has one bench and it's always pretty in demand. The volume on the bench is already crazy, and I'd feel like a dick doing 17 straight sets on the bench. Is there a way I could switch out the CGBP for something else? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 10:24 PM PDT I start a warehouse job in a month and im pretty weak so i need to start building muscle asap but i have no idea where to start because Ive only done cardio before. Can someone help me on how to get started and which muscles i should focus on [link] [comments] |
| What happens if you diet rigorously all week, but on the last day, you go nuts and eat a ton? Posted: 09 Oct 2020 03:33 AM PDT Let's say you rigorously diet and operate on a big deficit 6/7 days of the week. On the 7th day, you go to a birthday party and eat like crazy until you're stuffed full of cake and treats. Will all your weight loss disappear? Is all your progress ruined? How does this work exactly? [link] [comments] |
| Eating Subway Salad for Breakfast everyday for the past 10 days Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:38 PM PDT Hey everyone, I have been eating this salad everyday for a while and I am not sure if I should continue doing it or not. The salad is all veggies and it is 100% Vegan. I am not sure if that is healthy or not.. what do you think? Should I continue eating it everyday or should I stop? [link] [comments] |
