| Posted: 11 Nov 2020 09:30 PM PST I am a senior in highschool and I have been lifting for 5 years. I did highbar squat until sophomore year and the best I could get was 205 at the time, while weighing 119. It would always hurt the bone on the neck. I then found about low bar squat, and I mean when people say it should only be like a 10% increase, Id think they are lying. Within a a few months, my squat increased to 300 at 130lbs. Now I squat 345 at 145lbs. I play soccer and I do track, my main focus is speed on the pitch. I am starting to get wrist pain from the low bar, I am going to try to adjust my grip and put my thumbs over the bar. I don't know if I should revert back to high bar, as I have read that it is more suitable for athletes. While low bar is more suited for powerlifters. Low bar was far more comfortable, even with the wrist pain in my opinion. I could also just do low bar squat and do high bar squat as an accessory. What do you guys think? [link] [comments] |
| Can I mix Calisthenics and Weightlifting? Posted: 12 Nov 2020 03:23 AM PST Since 3 years I've been lifting weights to be in shape and also of course for aesthetic reasons. I always admired Calisthenics and the skills and body control it brings. Now, I like lifting weights but I recently wanted to have different challenges and learn a few new skills like handstands, human flag, planche etc. etc. because I find that really cool and it'll get me some more control over my body. But since I'm weight lifting like 5 times a week I won't have any free space for that without overtraining (I guess?). So my question is, if I could do some sort of workout where I would do 50% of my Workout with Calisthenics and the rest with Weight Hypertrophy. Will doing both just 50% impact the progress I'll make? Like the saying if a hunter chases 2 rabbits he will get neither of them. What's your take on this? Thanks for sharing. [link] [comments] |
| Do I need to keep eating lots of protein to maintain mass during lockdown? Posted: 12 Nov 2020 03:45 AM PST The UK is back in a month long lockdown and I have no means of lifting weights just bodyweight stuff. Is it necessary for me to eat as much protein every day to maintain my current muscle mass for a month or two? [link] [comments] |
