| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 11:09 PM PST Progress pics: http://imgur.com/gallery/dUQqaYx http://imgur.com/gallery/EH6zhst Background training: None at all. Neither of us did much of anything. We both avoided sports growing up and were pretty sedentary. Diet: I began by utilizing a ketogenic diet and dropping my calories from whatever amount they were to a max of 2500 calories and limiting my carbs to 20 a day. Every 50 lbs lost, I dropped daily calories by 200. After I lost 200 lbs, I upped calories back to 1800 ( sometimes much more) from 1700. I ate primarily fast food for around 6 months. Bunless burgers, omelettes, burrito bowls without rice and beans, salads, and lettuce wrapped sandwiches. I ate all my calories in 2 meals first a year. Skipping breakfast and then went on to 1 meal a day. After 6 months, I began cooking at home more. I ate a lot of steak, shrimp, chicken, cheese, butter, cream, and an insane amount of my homemade keto pizzas made from wheat ingredients mixed with Italian pizza flour, tomatoes, basil, and high quality cheeses. Eventually I decided to clean up my diet to primarily real unprocessed food, more vegetables, and began to experiment with healthier fats, more carbs, only 100 to 160 a day and a combination of some fruit, rice, potatoes, and oatmeal and startbeating two to three meals a day within an 8 hour eating window and ketogenic periods if I notice inflimation or weight creeping back in. My wife put me in charge of her meals for a few months. I had her at 1400 calories and 20 carbs a day. She then took off and began cooking all sorts of low carb meals and luckily for me, delicious low carb treats. very quickly she discovered tbat she doesn't require calorie counting at all as she always was eating right around 1200 to 1400 calories naturally in a ketogenic state. I attempted this and found i could easily consume 4000 calories a day.. She continues sticking to a low carb diet. Exercise: We began walking together. Initially a mile was too much. Now we can walk 5 to 10 miles on a day when we have nothing to do ( rare) otherwise we aim for 1 to 2 a day. I did lots of resistance band training. Around 10 minutes a day, every day except Sunday. I do 1 15-25 rep set until failure. I do alternate push and pull days. Push days consist of chest press, triceps pull down, overhead press, and squats Pull days consist of dead lifts, bent rows, calf raises, and bicep curls. Suppliments: I take creatine, and electrolytes twice a day and amino acids in the morning ( amd afternoon on the occasional fasting day). I just recently began adding push ups ( which apparently i can do now.) 20 to 50 on push days. Ending stats: I'm down to around 240 from over 420 and the wife is down to 185 from 306.

| Need recommendations for high weight calf exercises. Posted: 13 Nov 2020 04:49 PM PST Up to this point, I have trained my calves using seated calf raises, calf press on the leg press machine, and standing calf raises. However, I have run out of room on the seated calf raise machine, there aren't enough plates at my gym for me to increase weight on the calf press press machine, and my shoulders can't handle any more weight for standing calf raises. Anybody have some recommendations? [link] [comments] |

| Achilles Tendon Strengthening Exercises? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:25 PM PST Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but anything is appreciated. This past week my brother ruptured his Achilles Tendon during a friendly game of basketball. He was merely backing up while dribbling the ball, when all of a sudden SNAP. I heard it go from about ten feet away and watched him collapse. He wasn't performing any necessarily strenuous movements at the time it happened. Must have just been a freak occurrence. Although he used to be an athlete he is somewhat untrained currently. He's heading in for surgery early next week and is looking at about a five month recovery. So this got me thinking about what I can do to avoid this same kind of injury. Are there any stretches or exercises that can help minimize the risk of injury? Will calf raises and calf stretches do the trick? I haven't been able to find much, maybe I just need a better explanation. A little background on myself. I am 25years old (M), I have played sports for more than 15 years, and lift weights 3-4 days a week with runs when I have the time. I'd like to think I have a pretty athletic build, and I have been training seriously for several years. I haven't had any difficulties with my Achilles in the past. However, I've struggled with knee and ankle injuries. So I'd like to avoid any further complications. I am not seeking medical advice, just advice on the proper exercises and form for strengthening the Achilles tendon. Thanks guys. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 05:20 AM PST Just got an Inertia Wave and love it, but need help finding a plan for using it. The videos on the website walk through the 7 exercises to do, but I'm looking for guidance on how long to do each one, how many reps, etc. Does anyone out there have one and willing to share your plan?

| Question about Twist Mini Stepper Posted: 14 Nov 2020 05:16 AM PST Hello , guys. I just started doing somekind of ,,workout" in home with my mini stepper but without the bands (because I cant find where I put them years ago...). So my question is , is the mini stepper going to make my legs bigger and build somehow a muscles , because I really dont want that to happen ? Or it just burns the fat on them , and shape them ?

| Please please help me get started Posted: 14 Nov 2020 05:10 AM PST I'm a 5'2" (158cm) 27YO F. A year ago I was 140lbs. Dropped 15lbs over a 2 month Keto diet last year and have since maintained it. I still have a lot of work to do. I am currently 125lbs but the challenge is this: My body-fat % is 37%. I have been advised to lose at least 22lbs of fat and put on 10lbs of muscle. My current TDEE is 1100kcals. I feel like this will take more than a year and a dedicated effort throughout that time. I feel so overwhelmed just thinking about that that I don't know how to get started. But getting into shape has been such a huge goal for me for so many years that I can't give up either. Every other day I look for exercise routines, diet plans and think of getting started but never actually do. I am already exhausted with the anxiety I carry with me everyday and with every day that passes I feel like I'll never be able to achieve my goal. So many of you wonderful people found a way to get started and stick with it. Is there anything that you can offer as tips, tricks, advice? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 05:07 AM PST Hi yall, Short backstory: 75kg ~15%bf male with ~6-7 years of history liftin/training martial arts. Have had a long history of eating disorders, was diagnosed with anorexia two years ago, which during recovery turned into a serious binge eating/food addiction problem. Current activity: 75 minutes lifting with mostly compounds/bw excercises x 6 days a week, 2 x boxing sessions of 75-90 minutes a week. Sedetary office job, walk ~10k steps a day. Goal with establishing a mealplan is to make sure i get appropriate energy to feel good and satiatied, fueling training while maintaining weight and eating healthy. Basically just want to put nutrition on autopilot and not have it as a constant source of anxiety /obsession. Due to swinging from both sides of extreme eating ive kinda lost track of both appropriate quantities and energy intake. From my energy level i do however think ~3000 calories might be appropirate? Anwyway, this is the mealplan i've come up with, would love thoughts/input. Breakfast: After workout: Lunch: ~650cal: Afternon snack : Dinner: Evening: All in all this comes out to about ~3000 calories, ~210g protein, ~120g fat and the rest carbs. (cooking oils etc included in calorie count but not in the above description. Does this sound reasonable? [link] [comments] |
| Tired all day after working out(not a new lifter, close to a 3x BW deadlift) Posted: 14 Nov 2020 02:56 AM PST The deadlift stat is just to show I've got a couple years of nutrition and training under my belt. I've been noticing my brain just does not perform at it's best the day of, the day after and almost the whole day after training. I've experimented with intensity and as much as 3 sets of BW pull-ups are enough to trigger this response. My way of measuring mental capacity is my ability to perform in my Computer Science career. Some background:
Right now, I've concluded the only way I can enjoy both training and working is to workout Friday, Saturday and maybe Monday. As you can imagine, this revelation does suck a lot. I love working out. I'd train twice a day just hanging on bars if I could. But I've been facing performance issues in anything academia related(scraped through college). It's a long shot but TLDR; If you are very fatigued for days after working out even a little, what's your body doing and what helped you address it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 12:28 AM PST I have been doing strength training for a good 7-8 months. Been focusing more on my upper body ( Bench, OHP). 70KG, 50KG. Will I get injuries no matter how clean my form is? [link] [comments] |
| Urge to pee while training calves Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:30 PM PST Am I the only one who gets the urge to pee when training calves? I get a tintling sensation down there which results in running to the bathroom. Even when I just went and I do another set it has the same effect, which is just weird. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 12:28 AM PST So I'm doing a 3000 calories per day diet and I bought muscle tech mass gainer and it says per serving is 5 scoops and total calories are 1000.. the coach told me to take 2 scoops which mean 200 calories so I'm taking twice a day which means 400 calories and 400ml milk twice which means 468 calories so I only get like 868 calories from mass gainer and I want to get more calories from it so that I will eat less because I can not eat more food and I can't even take more scoops because people told me it will affect your body so what should I do?
