    Started calisthenics recently. Want to bulk. Is a weighted vest suitable enough for the progressional overload I need to gain mass?

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:51 PM PST

    6'1 175 lb male. Noticing good results with my calisthenics. Muscle definition is improving. But I'm still skinny. Is a weighted vest enough to beef me up? Or should I get a gym membership?

    Ideally I would like to put on all the mass I want with calisthenics, but I don't know if this is even possible really. I'm new to all this.

    Walking near main road

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 01:27 AM PST

    I'm 25, 6'0'' and 220lb, and I wanted to lose weight so I've started going for walks around where I live, but there are a lot of roads, and a large part of my walk involves walking near roads with a fairly high volume of traffic. Is this bad for my health? Do I need to find other places to walk? How far away from the road should I be? I have no preexisting lung or cardiovascular conditions, but still it kind of worries me.

    Will 10k steps a day with interval training 3 times a week be enough for cardio health?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 02:25 AM PST

    I recently went to a karaoke night with some friends where I was starting to get pretty gassed halfway through just the first song and I didn't realise just how unfit I was in terms of cardio. I'm generally pretty unfit as is and have started following the reddit PPL routine the past month to work on my health. I'm wanting to add in cardio mainly for endurance/ general heart health and wondering what's the better approach- 3 times a week of 30 min running or 15-20 min interval training (assault bike) along with 10k steps a day?

    I'm currently 77kg/ 170lb, 175 cm/ 5"8' and aiming to get down to 70kg/ 155lb. Macros are 215g protein, 250g carbs, 70g fat for a total of ~2500 calories. This is also my current physique so unsure if cardio will interfere with muscle gain.

    Any help is appreciated :)

    Take a look at my progres, help is advised!

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 02:59 AM PST

    Hi Guys,

    I've been lifting for a few months now. I've first started a cut from 72kg to 66kg and from 66kg I went up to 73k right now. I'm pretty happy with my progress but I feel like I'm stalling right now. My weight has been around 72-74kg for a month now and is not really increasing any more and my lifts aren't really going up.

    Progress picture: https://imgur.com/a/owkoZEH

    I've been doing the Reddit PPL program from the start and I love it. I love the big lifts and the volume that the program has. My current stats are:

    1RM Squat -> 110kg

    1RM Deadlift -> 140kg

    1RM Bench -> 70kg

    5RM overhead -> 50kg

    5RM pendlay row -> 82.5kg

    Currently I keep getting injured on deadlifts and bench, my hip flares up after deadlifts. I've been going to a gym where they give powerlifting courses, I set all of my 1RM there that day and they had no comments on my form. ( I could post a form check! )

    I had a minor tear in my left pec which also keeps flaring up @ max pressing. I'm fine after the volume day but not after the power day. Probably because my form breaks down @ max weight.

    I'm thinking the load is just too much, the 5 reps @ max weight seems to be breaking down my form.

    What is wise to do? Can I switch to 5/3/1 on the main lifts and keep doing the PPL acc? I'm stuck and it's really demotivating me. I'm seeing a physical therapist on monday to check out my hip and shoulder. But I would also love you guys advise on training!

    Cheers!

    Can dieting affect height?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 02:24 AM PST

    I'm probably still in puberty but I have started a diet many months ago and is almost at my goal weight, but people around me keep telling me that if I deprive myself of nutrients I wont get any taller (though those "nutrients" im depriving myself of are just extra sugars). I will admit that I'm not eating as healthy as you would think, though. The weight loss was mostly from the calorie deficit and not the food change. Can dieting affect my height at this point?

    Is it normal to feel a pull (or slight pain/discomfort) in my triceps during RDLs?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 12:36 AM PST

    When I do my 3x10 of Romanian Deadlifts, I feel a slight pull or discomfort in my triceps on my right arm. I was wondering if this pain is natural, or is it dangerous?

    Long term low intense work out queries

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 11:14 PM PST

    Hi, I will begin my fitness journey in March, next year. I am currently focusing on my college entrance examinations. I'm 18, skinny fat. My diet isn't great, but not than bad either.

    I'm out of shape, and wanted to begin with low intense work out at home, without focusing much on it. Basically, preparing for gym, which I'll join next year. I have plenty of time. I'm not at all expecting major noticeable change in my body.

    I could do 10 proper pushups, jog for 17 minutes straight, few chin ups last year, and now, none. I want to restart my engine and supply better fuel to it.

    What should be my goals and expectations? I'm just aiming mobility, better posture, more energy and cutting some of the fat I gained over the year. What should be my plan? Thank you!
