| Weird (?) question about Lateral Head of Triceps Posted: 29 Dec 2020 02:23 AM PST My triceps are pretty bulky and well trained, but I just cannot get the tip of my Lateral head (the very bottom, long/skinny "tail" that extends down to the elbow) to be defined to the point of even appearing at all. Instead, my Lateral Head definition consists only of the large bulky point at the top, even when I flex very hard. Is this something that I can target, to make the full length of the lateral head show? Or is this mostly just genetic? I'd imagine [as with all things] it would show better the lower the BF%, but mine is pretty low.. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| How many days a week should you train one muscle group? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 02:26 PM PST For example, I go hard one day a week on biceps e.g. 10-12 sets of 10-12 reps. Just wondering would that be optimal in terms of working on certain muscles groups and for muscle gain? [link] [comments] |
| Maintenance calorie dilemma (after cut) Posted: 28 Dec 2020 02:09 PM PST So, I've been cutting for around 3 months now (slowly, like 200 kcal deficit). Back when I started I had like 66 kilos at a height of 173 cms, my maintenance was like 2500 if the calculators are to be believed (obviously I know they're not 100% accurate). Fast forward to now > I weigh 60,7 kgs and I'm looking pretty lean, I can say I'm satisfied with how my cut went. Now, I work out 4 times a week + 3 days of LISS cardio (around 300 kcal per session). So I did 200 kcal deficit a day + those 3 sessions of cardio. Somewhere along the ending of the cut I noticed I stopped getting results (my metabolism probably adjusted), so I dropped my kcal further to around 2000-2100 a day. Unfortunately that was very unsustainable for me with my current regime, probably too much cardio and overall activity that I didn't fully take into account... so the last week or two have been pretty miserable, causing me to binge a couple of times in the ending month. So finally my question is, how the hell do I know what my current maintenance calories are? When I started the calculators were showing me like 2500-2600, and now it's 2400-2500. Is that really correct? It seems like a lot more than it should be. I want to stay as lean as I possibly can but still have energy to work out (started doing some Olympic lifts too), while giving my body a better environment to build muscle by not being in a constant deficit. I hope someone here finds the time to help me out because I'm really confused and don't know how to advance, thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2020 01:11 PM PST I am looking for a standard 7.5kg 1" diameter barbell that can support 500lb+ with little to no bend if possible. I have a ton of 1 inch diameter 20kg plates and would prefer not to buy a whole new olympic barbell and weight set if possible. Any help would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| How long does it take to tone/grow glutes? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 02:31 PM PST I've been working out (powerlifting) for years now and haven't seen any changes to my glutes. I went through a huge weight loss from 147lbs to 116lbs during quarantine. I now have been working out since September (more on aesthetics), and focusing on lowerbod 3x a week. I also included hip thrusts and glute bridges to my workout. Everything else in my body seems to be getting toned but I haven't seen changes in my glutes. My thighs and hamstrings have grown but not my glutes. I carry a lot of bodyfat in my glutes and instead of it being toned, it's just fat. What am I doing wrong? How can I get my glutes to be more rounded and toned? I don't think I can lose any more weight. Please help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2020 01:45 AM PST Anyone know a particular brand of standard 1" diameter barbell that can hold 500lb? I have many 1 inch diameter plates and it would be preferable to not buy an olympic barbell + a new set of weights. Any help would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2020 05:42 AM PST Hi guys, I started to hit the gym so it's been 5 days (I missed one though). I was doing some workouts at home focusing on stretching and some yoga (for 6 months 3 days a week) so when the lady take my measurements my fitness level was 69 which is good considering my activities. My questions are: 1. How I build a good strategy to lose 30 lbs? 2. Which workouts will benefit my the most? 3. I can go to gym 3 days a week so how long should I workout? Please help the personal trainer will cost my whole saving :( [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Dec 2020 08:34 AM PST I have a lower back injury where I can do bent over rows or deadlifts (squats are allowed). I was wondering would it beneficial to cable rows if I brought the rows parallel to me instead of off the floor? Like I do sitting cable rows I was thinking lets do this was standing part way and one handed [link] [comments] |
| Hypertrophy Cycle on my Quads with the Compex SP 8.0 Posted: 27 Dec 2020 09:26 AM PST If people are interested I will post more videos about this device sooner. Either way, more videos are in the works. This is the top model wireless muscle stimulator from Compex. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 01:54 AM PST So I've been trying to increase my calves and I was recommended bunny hopping. I did like 50 reps and didn't feel any burn in my calves, the issue is I don't know if I'm supposed to land on my heels or my toes? Landing on my heels feels really weird but landing on the front foot / toe area doesn't feel like it's working out my calves. Any help? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:21 PM PST So I'm pretty new to lifting as I've only been lifting for a year now (and I know the most important thing is to work on form especially when first starting) and my weights class maxed out right before winter break and at the age of 14 @150 pounds I had a 155 bench/ 275 back squat/ and 315 deadlift. Would you say that these lifts are on par with someone my weight and age or are they low? Also, is there a specific lift that needs a lot of improvement, for example I know I have a pretty low bench press compared to most of my friends and I've recently been trying to learn how to use leg drive and a proper back arch. Thanks in advance. P.s I'm primarily trying to focas on power lifting if you have any helpful tips for beginners that would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 08:25 AM PST so i just started glute exercises. i've read so many articles on how you need to eat so many calories and rest in between sessions to allow the muscles to grow. but that's for people who use heavy weights/kettle balls/etc, and do so many reps at a time. this is my question, please - i'm just looking to tighten and tone and add a little shape to what i already have. i can only manage reps of ten, twice a day, at least for now. the only weights i use are for glute bridges and deadlifts and it's only 16 pounds. i'm definitely feeling the burn, especially the next day. but do i really need to rest in between sessions if i'm not doing monster reps or using crazy-heavy weights? and do i really need to be eating more than 1200 calories a day? (i'm female, 5'7", 125 pounds, active by hiking pretty much daily) [link] [comments] |
| Little sister needs help with losing weight and exercise, how do I go about it? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 05:32 AM PST With everyone staying at home and online teaching, my little sister (12) has barely been moving from the couch. She quite literally spends all day on the laptop and her phone, my parents have (rightfully) decided that a change needs to be done. She will start talking walks around the neighborhood daily and of course adding strict dietary regulations. My parents want me to make a small routine for her to help her build a small amount of muscle as she is extremely weak and barely has any, as seen by the scans we've done. I have some 2.5lbs and 7lbs dumbbells here and I figured I would give a really basic routine just to improve her mobility and help her get started with exercise. Any tips and advice on this topic? Should I allow her to start with bodyweight exercises like wall pushups? As for the routine, I thought of just a 3 day per week basic full body routine. She'll mostly use the lightest dumbbells we have. Any flexibility routines that are low impact that you can recommend? We need to go for something sustainable to keep her on this for a long time, she has issues with food and I know that that's what needs to be addressed most significantly, my question is just about the exercise and maybe mental side of it all. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| How to deadlift with long legs? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 05:50 PM PST I'm pretty new to bodybuilding and am just looking for some advice. I'm. 6'7 and it sucks because i feel like I'm always gunna throw out my back when I deadlift. My legs are really long for my body (probably closer to a 6'10 person's legs) and I always feel like I'm arching my back when I go down. I've tried wearing a belt, going sumo, but nothing seems to be working. When I deadlift I feel pain in my lumber spine even with very little weight on the bar. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
