| Am I in shape if I can run 3.5 miles without walking? Posted: 17 Nov 2020 09:30 PM PST I am a male in my 20s. If I can run 3.5 miles straight without walking, am I considered to be fit? Or should I be doing better? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 02:11 AM PST I read you must adjust weights enough so you could do 10-12 repetitions but barely, so I did that. At first it's not a problem, then it gets heavier, and when I'm done with these repetitions it burns like hell for a moment. it's really unpleasent. Why is it happening? Is it normal?

| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 02:48 AM PST This is driving me crazy. I cannot for the life of me keep my balance doing bird dogs... but only on one side. When I'm doing it lifting my left arm and right leg, I get totally wobbly and fall. What is causing this only on one side?? Wtf can I do to help [link] [comments] |
| Looking Worse Since Beginning Lifting (5'10 183lbs m) Posted: 18 Nov 2020 12:39 AM PST Title is my main issue. A few weeks back I began lifting again. It's my first time back seriously since my weight change (5'10 used to be 205-210, now 180-185). At this point all my lifts are similar to where they were in the past, nothing spectacular but all decent. Anyway I feel as though my appearance has begun to look somewhat deflated and flabby on a regular basis. Chest and lats seems smaller and less define, stomach and love handles seem larger, etc. Can anyone help me make sense of this? My weight range hasn't changed but my appearance definitely seems worse. Important note: I am not referring to post-workout appearance(with obvious pump) when i say this. Edit: Clarification. I do not mean I seem to look worse than my 210lbs self. Just worse than before I resumed exercising. [link] [comments] |
| Wall sits after crying -> big PR??? Posted: 18 Nov 2020 04:13 AM PST So for some context, yesterday I had a weird conflict with a co-worker that resulted in some big ugly-crying the entire 20- to 30-minute drive home and for a while after that. I've been following Darebee's 30 Days of Gravity program but including rest days in between, and yesterday was Day 18, which I did on level 3: 160 "reps" each (Darebee counts one on each side as two) of lunge step-ups, calf raises, and side-to-side lunges, followed by 3 sets of wall sits to failure. Now normally on these leg days I can get in 2 minutes, maybe 2.5 minutes on a single wall sit, but yesterday I made it to 4 minutes and probably could have gone longer but had to stop to get ready for an online tutoring session. I hadn't eaten particularly differently yesterday and if anything, I ate less because of how shitty I felt after work. I also hadn't slept well the night before so I'm not sure how it was so easy to wall sit yesterday. Is there an explanation for this? I know emotional crying releases a higher concentration of minerals through tears than, say, onion- or smoke-induced tears. And maybe with all the tension being dissipated through the body it ensures there's plenty of oxygen in the muscles? Maybe there's a case for crying a lot before athletic competitions??? Otherwise, I guess I'll just be happy that my hamstring, quad, and glute endurance seem to be improving! [link] [comments] |
| I burn 800-1000 calories at FedEx, need help readjusting my eating habits and intake. Posted: 17 Nov 2020 11:58 PM PST Just as the title says, I burn alot of calories at FedEx, from 800-1000, sometimes even more. I know alot when it comes to fitness, but I'm still very confused on the topic of consuming calories and allowing a deficit. And I've been gaining weight. Before FedEx I was eating about less calories. And I was losing weight. I think 1,800 was the highest I ate. But now I'm not sure if I need to eat back the 1000 I burn at FedEx, which means I'll be eating 2000-2500. I basically do every type of position within a week, from loading trucks to going topside and standing. I also work for about 7-10 hours. I've used Lose It and MFP, and both say I burn over 800 calories by hour 7. So in order to lose weight and not be hungry, how much do I need to eat. 2k? Some people even said 3k. Idk anymore. If I lose 1000 calories and usually only eat 1000, then I need to eat more right? And if I burn let's say, 2000, I'd need to eat even more right? And you wouldn't gain weight because you eating back most of what you burned? [link] [comments] |
| Recommendations for indoor static cardio machine? Posted: 18 Nov 2020 03:03 AM PST I'm looking at getting a cardio machine of some kind this Christmas and not sure what to get. I already lift 5 times a week and want something to do 20-40 minutes of cardio in the evening. The machine will be stored inside so can't be too big. Years ago I posed a similar question about weights and was convinced not to get a multigym but to get a barbell and power rack and this was the best decision I ever made regarding health/fitness. I'm hoping for something similar but for cardio. An exercise bike looks like a good option as they don't take up too much space. An incline treadmill for some liss would be ideal but these tend to be big and I probably don't have space for one. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 01:28 AM PST I've been looking all over for a pre work out pill or something. but every youtube video tells me like certain ingredients are bad and others are good. And i cant pinpoint which one is the best. Anyone have any good recommendations for a good pre work out? i trust yall more than the retail employee at the local GNC lol [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Nov 2020 09:08 PM PST I have been doing ppl for about a year now without really switching it up and have done 5/3/1, nsuns, gzlp in the past and looking for something to switch it up. Notching a plateau in muscle gaining for sure. I like to go 6 days a week but i feel like I over work and maybe am spending more time recovering then building muscle. If I go higher intensity but less days would it be the equivalent? What are some of y'all's suggestions for a good muscle building program and what excercise to focus the most on for muscle growth ? Thanks in advance ! [link] [comments] |
