| Posted: 04 Nov 2020 05:17 PM PST I understand that reps between 5-30 when taken within proximity of failure will stimulate the same hypertrophy. My question is, does it matter how that failure is achieved?

| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 03:43 AM PST Hello r/fitness, Tore my MCL while kickboxing and been following the RICE method for healing. Thankfully, no surgery required. I plan on returning to the gym for any workouts that don't involve pressure on my knee. Can anyone recommend any upper body only programs that I can run during the 6 week healing period? Been running a linear pull up progression program currently but it's very monotonous. My aim with the upper body split will be to maximize bench press numbers. I could adapt nSuns or Candito's strength/size regime for upper body but I'm unsure of training upper body >4 times a week. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| The Arnold press and kettlebell overhead press are basically the exact same exercise. Am I wrong? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 11:24 PM PST This has no importance, really. But I primarily train with kettlebells and it crosses my mind that the Arnold press and kettlebell overhead press are basically the same. It seems like the only difference is the Arnold press uses some more bicep. Am I wrong? [link] [comments] |
| 5'7 21y/o: 10 Months Lifting + 3.5 Year Fitness Progress Posted: 04 Nov 2020 03:01 PM PST 6/29/17, 18 years old, ~220lbs I'll mostly discuss my lifting progress, but to lose the initial weight I just cut carbs to 100g a day and took up long distance running. Ended up running the Chicago Marathon in October 2019. I began lifting for the Gymshark66 contest at the start of the year. I was highly motivated to do so already and the timing lined up with the contest. I've become obsessed ever since. Long way to go; here's the progress so far: Squat: 135 -> 315 Deadlift: 135 -> 405 Bench: 105 -> 205 :( OHP: 75 -> 165 Program: First three months I ran a strict Reddit PPL split 6 days a week; kept a spreadsheet with sets and reps of every workout. I loved the strict structure as a beginner and enjoyed seeing my lifts go up week to week. This method worked extremely well for me since I didn't really know what I was doing. I bought a squat rack to keep things up over quarantine and got kinda sick of the strict routine. Every since, I basically just do what I want that day and manage fatigue throughout the week. It keeps things engaging. Over time, I've shifted from a bodybuilding focus to more of a powerbuilder style of training. I lift about 5 days a week, here's the general scheme: Squat: 5x/week, top set of 1, 3, or 5 depending on how I'm feeling that day. Deadlift: 1x/week, top set of 1 or 3 Barbell/Landmine rows: 2x/week for 3x8-12 Bench: Ran the smolov bench program for a bit, never got too into it. Usually just bench to a top set of 3. By far my weakest lift. OHP: 2-3x/week to a top set of 3 or 5 I run 2 Brian Alsruhe style giant sets to keep things moving. At the end of my workouts, I do low weight-high rep volume work until I decide to stop (usually about 10-15 mins). Volume work is usually some combination pullups, barbell curls, skullcrushers, lateral raises, rear delt flys, power twister, dumbbell rows, and banded work (pushdown, facepull, chest fly, etc.). I choose 4-5 exercises and rotate through them with very little rest. Usually sets are in the 12-20 range. Diet: Currently, I only track protein and aim to reach 180-200g a day to hit my protein reqs and keep me satiated. Mostly stuck to high protein/lower carb with the exception of a 10 week bulk from April to June where I inflated from 165 to 180. Cut carbs back down to ~100g/day over the summer to lose the fat-- now I'm just trying to maintain. I'd estimate about 2400-2500 calories a day. Goals: By college graduation (June 2021) I hope to have a 405 squat, 495 deadlift and have picked up olympic lifting. I'm still undecided on if I want to go through another cut and get shredded; I'd look sick but not sure if its worth the energy and impact on my lifts. Inspirations: Over his year I've become obsessed with learning the theory of programming for different fitness goals. I started out studying Jeff Nippard but recently have drawn from Brian Alsruhe, Eric Bugenhagen, Clarence Kennedy, and some others. Brownie points to any Euler's identity fans. [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to decrease muscle mass but increase strength? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 08:50 PM PST Amateur boxer here. Just gone out of a 8 month lockdown from Victoria, Australia. Since then, I've gained alot of muscle mass as calisthenics was my go to excersise. As a result I've gain 6 kilos of muscle. I would love to remain at my previous weight devision, boxing big boys sucks. Any thoughts or ideas I can look into? [link] [comments] |
| What’s the strongest and the perfect pre-workout? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 02:23 AM PST Apollon Hooligans V5 (I think it's the strongest) seems to be the unbanned-strongest since it has a big dose of caffeine, and other. But it lacks of creatine, while PreJym (I think it's the perfect one) has every ingredient you need. Am I right? Do you suggest them or do you think there's something better? [link] [comments] |
| Hi there, wondering if going over my daily protein intake is bad? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 09:12 PM PST I'm a 17-year-old male trying to lose weight I run a few km at least once a day and normally exercise twice. Today I got some WPI as a meal replacement and I want to have a scoop after the gym tonight but it'll put me over my recommended protein by 8g according to my fitness pal. for refference, today I ran 4km, plan on stationary cycling 15km and I'll hit arms at the gym tonight. So if anyones still reading I'm wondering if having extra protein today will harm my weightloss? thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Nov 2020 01:45 PM PST Has anyone tried this method of training, rather than conventional straight sets? The idea behind it is, you choose your 10rm max, do amrap, rest for as long as needed to do 3 reps (i.e. 5 seconds), if you end up doing more than 3 reps you're resting for too long, repeat until you reach 40 reps. So it looks like this; Bench Press 40kgx10+3+3+3+3 so on until 40 reps. You progress if the next workout, you can do more than 10 reps in the first go. Is there any benefit to this over conventional straight set workouts? [link] [comments] |
