| Intermediate strength standards, minimal muscle gain Posted: 26 Nov 2020 02:45 AM PST Hey, how is everyone? I've been doing strength training for about 18 months now. Last week I reached the intermediate strength standard for every exercise in my program (which has me super excited lol). However, looking at my DEXA scan today (and comparing it to the first one, that I had done when starting this journey), I've noticed that in this 18 months I've only put on 2.5 kg of muscle (about 6 pounds). Is this okay? I mean, my lifts are still progressing, but if you take into account that beginner lifters can potentially gain about 9-10 kg (18-20 pounds), my numbers of lean muscle mass gains are far off. Thank you all for reading, have a nice day! [link] [comments] |
| How to reduce side oblique muscle on women? Posted: 26 Nov 2020 03:50 AM PST Hoping for advice to reduce my oblique muscles that I have unwittingly developed! I think it's where the external oblique meets the transversus abdominis muscles. I'm short and the extra muscle in that part of my body makes me look boxy and reduces my preferred hourglass shape (and I don't have much torso to begin with!). It's also contributing to a v line in my abs which I don't like (but that's just me personally – obviously if other people wanna build 'em up, great!). I only train abs once or twice a week and it's usually planks, bicycle crunches, and dead bugs (I've been avoiding things like twist crunches or side planks etc. that I thought would make them grow). I usually focus on whole body movements like squats and deadlifts etc. and super inclined power walking on other days (in total around 5/6 days a week). Should I quit anything ab related for a while? Or am I doing the wrong ones? Or reduce weights in general and try more cardio for a while? Any other non 'ab' exercises that contribute to them that I should avoid? Appreciate any advice!

| Posted: 26 Nov 2020 03:00 AM PST Hey, so I got a lot to explain. Last summer I used to eat 1200 calories daily and I lost a ton of body fat and gained two pack abs (Upper Abs, currently have 4 pack abs) A few months after that I upped my calories to 1500. But now I suddenly have noticed the scale stop moving, as if it's my new maintanence calories, my metabolism may have adapted to me eating 1500 calories for many months, may that be the reason why? If so how do I reset my maintenance calories to 2000+? (As it should be) I weigh and count every calorie I eat, so I 90% know how many calories I take in. But recently I've jumped back down to 1200-1300 calories, (two days now), and I have finally noticed the scale started moving down! (Finally) And I feel a lot more energetic now eating less, I just have learnt to deal with the extreme hunger at night time. In the mornings I feel extremly good! I take in 100g protein daily to reach my goals. I recently started training arms and shoulders, and the feeling is great!! Abs I have done daily since last summer. I honestly feel really good with 1200-1300 calories, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on energy. But to answer my questions, how do I reset my maintenance calories to the normal 2000+? And it's true that I can build muscle with a calorie deficit as a beginner to lifting weights, right? 16M, 172 CM/59,7KG. Thanks ! [link] [comments] |
