| Having trouble eating too little Posted: 26 Feb 2021 11:09 PM PST M 18, 5'8", 143 lbs Recently I achieved my goal weight (Started from 75 kg now I'm 65 Kg) after months of hardwork. Now I want to stop losing weight but continue exercising. In each Workout I burn approx 550 calories and my TDEE is 2543 calories. But currently Im only eating 2000~ calories. I dont know how I'm supposed to add an extra 500 calories in my diet. Currently I dont feel hungry with my current diet and feel satisfied throughout the day. I'm a vegetarian but I can eat eggs, drink milk and basically anything apart from meat and fish. any tips on how to increase the calories in my diet would be much appreciated. for context my current diet-
Im aware that My breakfast is very low calories so thats probably what I have to change first. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2021 02:52 AM PST After extensively searching Google, blogs, Instagram accounts, even Pinterest, as well as searching for glutes in the wiki, I cannot find anything remotely helpful as to glute growth. Everything seems contradictory. Primarily my questions are: -Would more weight/less reps or less weight/more reps encourage glute growth more? -What kind of cardio would be recommended to aid with glutes? -Exercises: Does body weight actually do anything to help? What exercises would promote growth the most? Are bands really all they are hyped up to be? -What exercises would help reduce the appearance of hip dips? (I've heard/read that hips dips can not be worked on as well as they can, which is it?) EDIT: I understand that cardio won't help with growing glutes, just asking for what kind of cardio would be best on a lower body day I guess? I'm not sure how to explain it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2021 02:21 AM PST So for a long time now I have wanted to get in better shape to help with my overall strength on the job. I am fairly strong and physically fit, I try to work out several times a week and keep very active (so I think I have a good base to start from). I like lifting weights, stretching/ practicing yoga and going on intense hikes but I never really have had a solidly consistent routine to follow through or someone like a trainer to help me figure out what areas to focus on. I work with a small crew of people, so it's expected that everyone pulls their share of the job burden and no man wants to be the weakest link. I think I do pretty good and put a lot of effort into the job, but I am at the point now where I want to excel past what's expected and build myself up to where my strongest points can directly help me on the job. This is going to be a fairly long post, so anyone that bears with me and can offer suggestions, I really appreciate it. My job is kind of on the extreme end of career paths you can get into (that are very physical. Basically, I do carpentry work (specifically decks, walkways, bridges, stairs, elevated platforms) outdoors under all forms of the environment conditions. Sometimes I have to climb up a steep elevation covered in boulders/talus piles. Sometimes we have to stand in white water rapids as we try to pound the support pillars in and hold the platform structure up. It can be raining, snowing and windy as all hell while we work. It's not unusual for us to go out to the spot, find it covered in thick ice like a mini glacier and then back through it to get down to the solid ground. It is almost always misty and wet where we are building so we have to consider that into the job almost daily too. Just all sorts of nasty conditions and environments that can lead to nasty shit like exposure/hypothermia/overheating. The big catch with the job though, is that we have to carry all the wood and our tools to the spot where we are gonna build. Carrying 50-75 pounds on your shoulder might not seem like much, but when that weight is distributed in 10-12 foot long 2×4s and the wind is blowing against you as you carry the wood or you are waist deep white water rapids and need solid footing, it can be very challenging to to keep your balance and still keep the wood you are holding secure. It really ends up becoming a full body work out when it's all tensed out from doing several tasks at once. We all have dropped big stacks of wood and accidentally lost them in places completely inaccessible. We usually make several trips going back and forth consistently carrying around the same weight (occasionally we will push 100+ lbs if we care on level ground). Sometimes we spend most of the day carrying out large stacks of wood out to the build spot just to prepare for actual construction the next day. For the actual construction, we have to stand on uneven ground or directly in the water while holding up the structures frame as it's made secure by other members of the crew. I also have to wear a heavy tool belt (about 20ish pounds) and a heavy rubber/neoprene work rain suit, with hardshell toe mud boots and a helmet. So we start off carrying a fair amount of weight on us in our "kit" before we even start the process of carrying the wood and tools. About a quarter of the year is doing all this as winter let's up into spring, than we spend another quarter of the year doing the exact same thing but backwards. We are ripping out the older rotted out wood (which is usually super water logged), removing the nails and carrying the wood out to get disposed. I don't want to say that the work is tedious, its more like the amount of weight we carry stays consistent while the terrain and weather varies wildly. It's that consistency of the weight and random changes in the environment that wears me out. I don't want to come across as complaining, I want to give a general idea of what areas get the most damage. No matter what I try, the job still kicks my ass and leaves my body wrecked at the end of the work week. I have gotten bruises on my shoulders from carrying so much weight around for long periods of time. My calf muscles, hamstrings and knees end up killing me once I stop moving around as much on my days off. I have heel spurs/plantar fasciitis that sometimes flairs up super bad after a hard week. I get carpenter's elbow and pain in my knuckles from hammering so many nails. Shit that just makes me feel like an old man, even though I am in my early 30s. The biggest concern is that my spine is slowly compressed from all the downward pressure. I try to fight against it by doing a lot of stretching, spinal decompression yoga positions and dead hanging from a chin up bar. In the past year, I started rolling the sorest muscles as an attempt to loosen them up. Some of the older guys I work with have developed some big back problems and frequently go to chiropractors for routine maintenance. I see what they are going through and don't want to end like that. My son is a toddler and it really sucks not be able to really move after work kicked you are all day or week. I want to excel at the job and push my physical performance, but I just don't know how to do it with making everything worse or killing my self. [link] [comments] |
| Question about cable machine weights Posted: 27 Feb 2021 04:19 AM PST I started going to the gym 3 weeks ago. I'm 19 F, fairly weak and slim. 5'3, 123 lbs (if relevant). I was telling my friend (who's been going to the gym for 3+ years) how I can do 18kg on the lat pulldown and he told me it must be wrong because he can only do 6kg. The weight I choose is the one that says "40" (I'm assuming pounds?) and this is also what the weights say on another cable machine (40lbs and the corresponding 18kg). He is telling me that the numbers are an error and there's no way I can do that as a beginner. Is there a chance that it is wrong? I also manage to do seated cable rows at 40lbs. Edit: I'm in Australia but I believe we use American machines as I see them say "USA fitness" or something [link] [comments] |
| Leanbulk on alternate day fasting? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 04:14 AM PST First off I read an older thread on this same topic and all the replies were pretty much just explaining what a normal bulk is to the op. I KNOW HOW A REGULAR BULK WORKS YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL ME I've been doing ADf for a while now while cutting, fasting 4 (tu/th/sa/su) and eating on lifting days. Mid march I wanna pivot over to a lean bulk. The thing is I really enjoy fasting as a lifestyle, It allows me to not be super stric with what I eat; I love cooking and 3 cooking days helps me focus my attention on 3 big meals a week that I can make special, and I just feel good the day after a fast. Right now my plan is to just add sunday as an eating day and monitor my weekly weight. Assuming Im gaining weight, will my lifts improve in the gym or does going in to a workout after having fasted for 24+ hours mess with that? [link] [comments] |
| Bulking without too much protein? Posted: 26 Feb 2021 10:43 PM PST Hi reddit, I have gotten back into weightlifting and want to put on some mass. For reference, I am 18, 5'7" and 145 lbs. I am lean and in shape, and burn a lot of calories through soccer and other sport. Most calculators I have seen recommend 2700-3000 calories a day for people like me to get bigger. However, I am struggling to get that many calories without having a ton of protein, which can have negative side effects on the kidneys. I would appreciate plan suggestions or tips to help me, as well as clarity if any one has insight on healthy amounts of protein. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
