| 60-degree incline press: how useful is it? Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:12 PM PST I've recently added 60-degree incline presses to my routine every other week just to prevent boredom. I can put up significantly more weight than with normal (~80 degrees) seated shoulder presses, but it still feels like my shoulders are doing the majority of the work. I'm wondering, though, does a 60-degree incline offer anything that traditional seated shoulder presses or a 30-degree incline bench can't also offer (besides variety)? I never see anyone else pressing with a 60-degree incline at the gym and I'm wondering if there's a reason for that. [link] [comments] |
| Should I have 1 day Olympic lifts, 1 day strength lifting, as an athlete Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:49 AM PST So I play soccer/football & Golf competitively. Should I incorporate Olympic lifting & strength training in my split? Or just oly? I'm thinking one day for Olympic lifts & 1 day for a standard powerlifting. I have a match on Saturdays, fitness training on Tuesday & Thursday + an individual run at some point. So I'm thinking strength on Monday, & OLY on Wednesday. What would you say would be the best split? Any help would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Confused by conflicting info on core training... Posted: 03 Jan 2021 12:35 AM PST It seems like every coach and guru online has a different view on what sort of ab training will build functional strength (for squatting and deadlifting), a tight waist, and a good looking set of rectus abdominis muscles. What I gathered so far:
So now I'm thoroughly confused as to how to train my abs for both function and looks (yes I know abs are made in the kitchen through low bodyfat %). What do you guys with good abs do for your regular training? [link] [comments] |

| Is this why I’m not losing fat? Posted: 30 Dec 2020 05:39 PM PST I'm doing a body recomposition right now (Losing fat while gaining lean mass). I'm 20M at 154 lbs and 5'8 and 18% body fat (did a scan yesterday). I'm trying to lean out and get to 10% BF before I bulk. I've only been doing this for 6 weeks now and I haven't been losing any fat. I train for about 6?days a week just doing compound lifts and other exercises for about an hour and a half. I burn about 400 calories per day working out. So I think I've figured out why I'm not losing weight. To lose weight you must be in a caloric deficit, which I though I was in. I guess not. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the issue. My basal metabolic rate is ~1,600 calories and I consume 2,000 calories a day while burning 400 at the gym almost every day. So after 2,000 calories consumed, subtract the BMR+400 and you have zero. So there is no deficit all along. I've been wanting to do a -500 calorie deficit, so here's the dilemma. I can't eat 500 calories less because that's just not enough to gain any muscle. So do I just do cardio everyday burning 500 calories? That seems the only possibly solution but everything I've heard says cardio kills gains so I'm just so confused as to what to do. [link] [comments] |
