| Program to fill in the days between Couch to 5k runs? Posted: 11 Nov 2020 12:48 AM PST So I'm doing my 3 runs a week with Couch to 5k and finding it, in truth, very easy. I have days between the runs where I feel like I could be doing something for my overall health/fitness that isn't cardio but I'm unsure as to what. I really like programs that just tell me what to do, even though I understand not all people need equal things. I live in a quite virulent area and the gym is, for the foreseeable future, not an option. However, I am willing to purchase things. I also have a gym space downstairs in my building but there's.. nothing in there. So I could house weights there. My requirements are:
If there was some kind of Couch to 5k but for basic strength and flexibility, that'd be fantastic. I tried the NHS Strength and Flex program but I think that might be aimed towards older people/people in rehab. Maybe I'm just being precocious and it'd end up kicking my arse within a few weeks. Thanks for any advice! Appreciate you. [link] [comments] |

| Resistance training for Hiking/ Rucking Posted: 11 Nov 2020 02:55 AM PST I recently went on a multi day hike with my brother and after Day 1 (13 miles, 1500ft elevation, 5 hours, 20kg pack) I was surprised to find that the only part of me that was really sore was my Mid-Back. At first I thought it was my lower traps, but it seemed weird to be that specific rather than the whole muscle. With some googling I'm guessing it's my Rhomboid that's getting sore but not 100% on that. My usual training involves a decent amount of Deadlifts, Rows, Weighted Pullups and Practice Rucks but is there anything that I can use to specifically target that area (preferably with weights rather than Dorsal Raises forever) or cues for greater activation?

| Giving up leg training after 4yrs. In any way dangerous etc.? Posted: 11 Nov 2020 02:50 AM PST I have been training for <4 years now, I can squat 385lbs and deadlift 451lbs. However I do not really enjoy leg training unless Im pulling really heavy weight in the 1-3 rep ranges with low sets, and it doesnt seem like much progress can be made training this way, unless you increase frequency which is also not ideal for me time-wise. And I have not found any programs like this. So I have been wondering If something potentially unwanted could happen If I stopped leg training. Besides having chicken legs. But I have naturally thicc legs, so much that now they are actually too big. Im fully aware that posts like these have been made, but on all of them people just dismissed the guy saying he "doesnt have big legs yet" or something like this without actually saying anything useful. So my goal would be to just gain strength on upper. [link] [comments] |
