| (M25) Progress from underweight(114) to happy with my weight(140) Posted: 30 Mar 2021 02:33 PM PDT Character Stats: Starting height/weight/age: 5'8"/113.8/23 Ending height/weight/age: 5'8"/140/25 These are my working sets: Bench: 65 > 125 https://imgur.com/a/so4JGXp Deadlift: 95 > 220 https://imgur.com/a/1e1KyT1 Squat: 85 > 170 https://imgur.com/a/wEPQLq4 The following measurements are by no means precise but reflect overall growth. Measurements are in inches.
Diet: Due to an undiagnosed food allergy in my childhood, I have always been skinny and have had a strange relationship with food. When I was 6 I was below the 1% mark in weight for my age, and after my diagnosis, I slowly climbed out of that whole. That said, I associated feeling hungry with being sick and vomiting which led to me avoiding eating whenever I felt hunger pains. My plan for this process was simple, eat 5 times a day and make sure there is a source of protein in every meal. My normal meals included: Breakfast: eggs w/ meat, oatmeal, or granola cereal Lunch: a sandwich with meat or peanut butter, or leftovers Snack: protein bar, trail mix Dinner: spaghetti, burgers, chicken tacos, pulled pork Shake: protein/creatine shake with milk or half and half, peanut butter, and ice cream. Routines 1st Routine: August 2019 (113 lbs) - December 2019 (125 lbs) Started off with a PPL from Reddit, with a few additional exercises while avoiding the exercises that made me uncomfortable. We spent a LOT of time in the gym to get through everything. The gym also had a sauna and hot tub at this point, heaven on earth. Abs got added in a month or so into working out. Legs
Pull
Push
Cardio 2 or 3 runs a week following the C25K program and a basketball game once a week 2nd Routine: January 2020 (123 lbs) - March 2020 (125 lbs) After a few months with the above routine, I moved overseas and left my workout buddies behind. I also did not have access to as many weights and machines for legs(see below). Most importantly my consistency dipped greatly without having friends to push me. I also stopped running. Legs
From March 2020 through August 2020 the world was in lockdown and the country I was living in did not allow for people to be outdoors unless they were shopping for food. 3rd Routine: August 2020 (122 lbs) - December 2020 (138 lbs) Starting working out in my friend's garage. We hopped back into the original PPL but modified it to fit the equipment we had available. Push
*we added dips when we got the equipment. Pull
Legs
4th Routine - January 2021 (140 lbs) - Present (138 lbs) We took all the above exercises and made the 3x12-15. Sidenote, 3x15 deadlift makes you want to throw up. I have also started running again, oftentimes twice a week for a few miles. In addition, I have been trying to get out and play tennis whenever possible. What's Next? My friends and I are doing a Spartan Race later this year. I am hoping to start bouldering semi-regularly. Other than that, I am looking for a new weight lifting program(maybe one more aesthetic-focused), and I am open to recommendations. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can anyone shed some light on Heart rate reserve for me? It seems counterintuitive. Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:27 AM PDT If someone has a max HR of 180 and a resting HR of 78 then their HRR is 102. If they designed a training program based off the HRR (assuming the 5 training zones below) their zone 3 threshold work would be from 149 – 160 BPM. However if they became more fit and their resting heart rate goes down to 45, their zone 3 threshold would range from 140 – 153 BPM But that seems strange to me. Youre taking an unfit person and blasting them at a high max HR and then taking an more fit person and being easier on them by working them at a lower % of max HR? It seems strange to me that I would train at 160 BPM and kind of be killing myself and then when I get fitter I will only train at 153 BMP? It almost like taking a newbie and making them max squat 95% of 1RM and then as they get more fit (if they don't get injured) you decide to give them 80% of 1RM (normally we do things in reverse, from easy to hard) Anyone got any input? Hypothetical Made up Zones: <60% Zone 1 EZ 60%-70% Zone 2 Endurance 70%-80% Zone 3 threshold 80%-90% Zone 4 High Int 90%-100% Zone 5 VO2 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
