| What are the consequences of eating at a negative calorie count? Posted: 11 Jan 2021 08:55 PM PST Today I burned ~1200 calories ~150 from weight lifting and ~1000 from cardio, I ate 2 small chicken legs, and 2 granola bars which were both 130 calories, I also took in tons of water. This mostly likely puts me at a negative calories count for the day. Recently I've had extra motivation to eat "well" or in this case unwell, my question I suppose is, is this sustainable/effective? I'm not overly hungry and I feel tired and ready to sleep. Edit: Should also be noted I am 6'0 210 19 years old Male Edit: Another clarification, this is not something I do daily normally. During my cut I eat 1500-1900 calories, and I burn ~300-400 in cardio and the same ~150 from weight lifting, I was just feeling extra motivated today so pushed myself on the cardio and just wasn't feeling all that hungry so I didn't eat any dinner. Many people are also questioning the 1000 calories remember this I a rough estimate but my cardio was 1hr of running up 20 story apartment stairs, taking the elevator down and repeating after 3 min break. I also played a bit of hockey which included a 20 min walk to get to the rink. [link] [comments] |
| Overhead Press Lack of ability to do so Posted: 12 Jan 2021 03:42 AM PST I am a beginner to strength training. I have never even been able to lift the bar during a soldier/overhead press. It is both a combination with my flexibility and strength. I believe it is a combination between those two because when I started working out, I could barely bench the bar. But since bench press is simple in terms of flexibility, I have been able to learn and improve over the course of time. I am now at 70 :). I experienced something similar when I was learning the overhead triceps extension, but I was able to figure my form out. Do I pull a Spongebob and use teddy bears for weight? Kidding. FYI, I did follow rule 0, but if I goofed up, I apologize. Thanks in advance! TLDR; How do I learn the form of something, if I don't have the strength and flexibility to do the basic motion?

| Seated Cable Row as main back lift? Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:34 PM PST My main focus is upper back hypertrophy. Due to a lack of barbells at my gym, I only have machines and cables to rely on. Cable rows seem to really light up my back and clear many imbalances. I compliment them with other exercises including the cable face pull, machine rows, and rear machine flyes. Can cables provide good growth? [link] [comments] |
| how in the fuck am i supposed to get stronger shoulders? Posted: 12 Jan 2021 12:51 AM PST TLDR at bottom to start off, i'm about 170 lbs (77kg) and 5'6. i can bench my body weight for ~12 reps, and my back is comparable in strength, TLDR my upper body strength is decent. my SHOULDER strength however, is comparatively pathetic. i've been working on my shoulders since mid-May with quite a lot of focus. i have made absurdly little progress. i've tried maybe 3 different approaches throughout that time? when i started, i could barely do 100x5. i did a rather absurd routine where i would just do the highest weight possible for 3 reps, ALMOST EVERY DAY. it actually kinda worked, i got to 120x3 in like 2 months. however the pain from stress quickly started setting in and i stopped. after this, i switched to this program. essentially it's OHP 2 days a week, with monday's always being a 5x5, and fridays alternating between a FAST 10x3 at ~60-70% max, and a 10x1 at ~90%. all of this is over 6 weeks. i ran through this program twice in a row. my OHP went up like 5 pounds in the first cycle, and 0 pounds in the second. from 120x3 to 125x3. feelsbadman. now, for the last 2 months, i've been just doing mondays and fridays, 5x8, just going for higher volume being unsure what to do at this point. i understand that specific muscles will respond differently to different volumes, intensity, etc. most people don't train biceps like they do their legs or chest. i guess i'm trying to gain insight into the specifics of maximizing OHP strength. TLDR: want to get strong shoulders/OHP, struggling greatly to do so; very little progress compared to the rest of my upper body. not sure what kind of training style to go for [link] [comments] |
| Dumbbells/bands vs body weight only Posted: 11 Jan 2021 04:08 AM PST Hi guys, Goal: gain as much muscle mass as possible. Question: Over the course of 3, 6, 12 months, will there be a difference in appearance between someone who does an at-home routine with basic dumbbells/bands vs a "body-weight only" routine? Will it be negligible if you work just as hard? Assuming the same high calorie diet. [The question comes after debating between p90x3 mass (b/c I'm familiar with it) and the body weight routine here. I want to maximize my efforts!] Additionally, does ideal amount of workout days per week change depending on dumbbells vs body weight? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
