| Missing all 4 fingers on my left hand. Need some advice. Posted: 12 Nov 2020 12:55 PM PST Luckily I have full use of my thumb and partial pinky nub. Born this way, no biggie. Lifted weights on and off for most of my life, though the way I have to grip, is putting a strain on my wrist. I have used lifting straps in the past and most are too thick for me to use. Currently, I use an old tie and wrap it around to get a good grip for pulling exercises. The tie gets the job done, but I bought 1-inch wide nylon straps to get custom made. I need less width and more length. Basically, I grab on and wrap the strap around the bar 5-6+ times and tighten. Anybody else have experience with custom straps? I am thinking about taking the nylon webbing to a local sewing shop. Any ideas? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:04 AM PST 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] |
| Work outs specifically for tightening skin Posted: 13 Nov 2020 03:51 AM PST Hey! So I lost weight a while ago (120kg to 60kg now) and have some loose skin. I'm fairly active but I don't really know how to build muscle in specific areas that would help tighten the skin there. Most important for me right now is upper arms, thighs, Chest/under-armpit area. I'm also considering combining a work out routine with taking collagen supplements and derma rolling in case anyone had any recommendations for that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:20 AM PST I workout four times a week in the evenings. I'd like to start doing a quick 5 to 10 minute, no weight exercise in the mornings. Maybe the same everyday, at the most it would alternate every other day. Thinking push ups and squats one day, sit-ups and burpees the next. Does anyone have suggestions for the biggest "bang for the buck"? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:14 AM PST Hi guys, I'm hoping on some advice on if i'm doing the right things and where to go to keep moving forward. Me: 5'4 (162cm), 38 years old, 220odd lb's / 15st 13lb. // Diet - I'm currently aiming at 2027 calories per day for a -500c deficit (and I hope i got the maths right for that) and consuming 221g of protein a day for 35% of my intake (again, I hope I got this right) https://old.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2e79y4/dumbbell_ppl_proposed_alternative_to_dumbbell/ 6 days a week - PPL/PPL/Rest. Also doing a short core workout after each one and some small cardio inbetween. I've been sticking to this routine because I have access to dumbells at home and over the last 12 weeks i've moved up weight pretty consistently whilst keeping good form. (still in beginner territory and im pretty weak :D) I'm here to ask what do I do? I've got pretty comfortable with this routine and I enjoy it - should I stick with it and keep trying to move up weights and pushing ? or is it really important to change and add variety (which I think is the case?). - Should I just change a few exercises for alternative dumbell exercises? Equipment wise I have: Dumbells going upto about 18kg (i'm curently lifting between 8.5-10 depending on the exercise). A single 10kg kettlebell Some resistance bands. Im not oppose to buying a barbell if it's the next step towards growth and better exercise, but more than that and i'm out of room in the flat and the wife will go nuts :D [link] [comments] |
| Thoughts on doing isolation movements before compound movements (from a hypertrophic standpoint)? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 03:09 AM PST For example, lat pushdown before pullups. The lats are going to be the limiting factor, not the biceps. And if anyone is familiar with Mike Israetel's concepts, this is going to increase the SFR (stimulus to fatigue ratio). What are your thoughts on this? [link] [comments] |
| Trying to fit new hobby into workout routine, need help planning rests Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:52 AM PST Hi All, Currently i'm doing Monday - Upper Body, Thanks for the help in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Can I do PPL for beginners? - Am I a beginner? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:45 AM PST I've been lifting on and off before but never frequently. I've done a 3x week full body routine for around 2 months now and been bulking since I'm very skinny. I was planning to do this PPL routine since I have more time for gym now: Metallicdpas PPL but idk if I'm still classified as a beginner? My lifts are still fairly weak bodyweight 60kg: -Bench press around 60kg 1rm -OHP 30kg 3rep -Deadlift 90kg 1rm -Squat 60kg 1rm Tl;dr: is this PPL good for me if I've been in gym regularily for a few months now?

| Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:27 PM PST I want to buy a pair of figure 8 straps. Can anyone recommend me some good ones? Three popular names seem to be Rouge, SSE, and Cobra. Has anyone used any one of them? [link] [comments] |
| Continuous workouts for upper body strength Posted: 12 Nov 2020 08:21 PM PST I'm someone who's always liked running, but has a hard time doing workouts (I've mainly been doing calisthenics because I don't have access to a gym rn) because I have a really hard time with the choppiness of it. With running, you only have to start one time and then you keep going for the whole time, while sets/reps ends up breaking my stride and my motivation. My question is basically this: is there any kind of upper body strength workout that's more continuous (you just keep going) instead of a bunch of short choppy exercises? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| How can I improve my Taekwondo routine? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:48 AM PST Hi! Obilgatory long time lurker, first time poster. I did Taekwondo from ages 5-16, mostly sparring and competition with fitness training as I didn't have the elegance or patience for Poomsae. I trained 5-6 times a week and it was a massive outlet for anger, stress and enjoyment. I stopped due to mental health problems and personal circumstances, and other than a couple of sessions at my old university's team (which I really enjoyed but just didn't have the time to go to with work and school) I haven't really touched it in years. This said, I've made some big life changes over the last six months or so, one of which has been getting back to a healthier me. This has stoked my interest in Taekwondo again - and after a couple of months of holding off of buying bobs and fancy new gear and still using my free time to look up forms and stretch, I think it's pretty safe to say I'm ready to return. I don't mind pushing myself, as I know I am capable of the kind of stamina/flexibility I'm wanting, and I also have a shit ton of free time given the recent lockdown in my country. I'm trying to start off slow to ease my body in, but I'm worried I'm not doing enough - I finish a stretching session and I feel like I'm ready for more! I forgot just how addictive it was. For the past couple of weeks I've been -
I'm also desperate to improve my form, but I think this is better waiting until I'm able to attend sessions again? I'm sure something will be wrong after so long without training and I would rather get myself to a level of fitness/flexibility so that when I do attend I might be able to pick up where I left off a little better. If any of you wonderful folk could recommend anything that might be more effective or efficient, I'm all ears! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:46 AM PST Hi, simply put. I've worked out on and off my entire life 31m now, I've gone to the gym, I've played various sports etc, I've always ended up quitting. Chief reason being the itching. Plainly put. Every time I do anything that could bring up a sweat, I itch. Neck, trunk front and back and buttocks area. Its a maddening itch too. There's no rash that comes up. Just itching which subsides as soon as I cool down. No idea what it is. I'm obese, I hate it.i have man boobs which have haunted me throughout my life, I hate it. I want to get on track Anyone ever experienced this itch or know what it is Hygiene isn't an issue. Bathe daily yada yada. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for training split advice Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:36 AM PST Hey guys. So, I'm a bit of a newbie. I've been following the push-pull-legs split for a month and I love it. My coach however told me that I should do a bro-split for the next month. Now I've read a lot about it, and I really don't see the bro-split as a good program for reasons many of you know. The problem is my coach is a national weight lifting champion, so I don't really wanna be that guy that argues with the professional, so what do you guys think? Are bro splits not as bad as they're said to be? Should I actually change from push/pull/legs to a bro split even temporarily? Because I've honestly been seeing great progress and I'm worried about hindering it. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:44 PM PST I recently lost 60lbs running. I feel great and will continue running and eating healthy, it's well worth it. However a few months ago I decided to start weightlifting. I'm making real progress, but this is a LOT. Constantly checking macros, buying supplements and protein, hours at the gym, etc. I look the best I ever have but the motivation is slipping. I might be content being skinny forever. Running to me is a small commitment, I sprint for 20 minutes mindlessly then take a shower. 45 minute commitment. My question is for those who have been lifting for years. Is it worth it? Will I look in the mirror in 5 years and be glad I spend hours on ours in the gym? I don't need women, my girlfriend loves me and my body already. She just wants to spend time with me that I'm spending in the gym. Are you glad you did it? Would you do it again? I guess I just need motivation. I want to be muscular so bad... But shit.

| Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:17 PM PST So I have recently gotten the impression that I've been approaching bulking all wrong. I'm a skinny guy so I initially decided to eat a balanced diet of fibers, carbs, you know it and as a guy with low appetite, kinda hard right? But recently, I feel like to bulk correctly is to literally eat anything you can get your hands on. Junk food. High calorie anything with disregard to any sort of "balance". Am I right here?
