| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 09:59 AM PST Hey guys! This is the first fitness community I've joined, Reddit or otherwise. I've got a question concerning measuring gains and changing calories accordingly. I've been lifting for about 4 months now and following an old Joe Weider guide book that came with the weight bench my dad got a couple decades back. I doubt it's got the best exercise routines based on how much exercise science has evolved, but I'm sticking to it for now because I've learned the exercises well enough to do proper form. Anywho, I'm always seeing people talk about increasing your calorie intake when your gains start decreasing. My question is: what sort of change in gains are we talking about that quantify bumping your intake by X calories? Should I be taking standard muscle measurements once a month and comparing them to previous months? For some context, I'm 5' 10", 166lbs, around 11.5% BF last time I used calipers. I've decided against bulking and cutting, preferring the more organic way of approaching a better physique. I lift three times a week, eating at 2600 calories on lifting days and maintenance (2200) on off days. Please let me know if you need more context. Thanks! Edit: Thanks so much for all of the positive feedback! This seems like a great community of people. Edit 2: It seems that I may be hindering my progress by eating at maintenance on my rest days. I'm going to switch back to bulking and cutting based on the solid advice you guys have given me. I'm grateful that you guys have helped me to clarify the misconceptions I've had about building muscle. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:00 AM PST Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack. So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:
Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line. So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 12:03 PM PST You need rest days to let your body recuperate. Else, it can lead to injury. So how are beginners able to do a full body kettlebell workout, say, six days in a row with only one day of rest without injury? [link] [comments] |
