    Hey guys, regarding working out at home, how do you safely approach lifting without a spotter?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2021 11:41 AM PDT

    My questions is really two parts. I don't have a full rack yet and this would make me much more comfortable pushing myself to the point of failure for things like squat and overhead press, but what about bench? I feel like , regardless of your setup, the bench safety catch bars should be lower than you need to take the rep. How do you avoid pinning yourself between the bar and bench while doing bench press?

    It's hard for my to work out solo and push myself up to RPE 9 for the fear of hurting myself. Thoughts?

    The Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet to Diabetics

    Diabetics must choose any food they eat very carefully, as each food choice they make has a profound impact on their overall health on a meal-to-meal basis. Diabetes affects people of all ages, both genders, from all walks of life and backgrounds. Untreated, it can cause wounds to heal slowly, infections take longer to cure, blindness, and kidney failure. Diet is one of the most important ways of controlling diabetes, and a vegetarian lifestyle with its emphasis on low fat, high fiber, and nutrient-rich foods is very complementary.

    Affecting more than 30 million people worldwide, this disease inhibits the body from properly processing foods. Usually, most of the food we eat is digested and converted to glucose, a sugar which is carried by the blood to all cells in the body and used for energy. The hormone insulin then helps glucose pass into cells. But diabetics are unable to control the amount of glucose in their blood because the mechanism which converts sugar to energy does not work correctly. Insulin is either absent, present in insufficient quantities, or ineffective. As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream and leads to problems such as weakness, inability to concentrate, loss of coordination, and blurred vision. If the correct balance of food intake and insulin isn't maintained, a diabetic can also experience blood sugar levels that are too low. If this state continues for a prolonged period of time, it can lead to coma and even death.

    Though incurable, diabetes can be successfully controlled through diet and exercise, oral medications, injections of insulin, or a combination. Instead of counting calories, diabetics must calculate their total carbohydrate intake so that no less than half their food is made up of complex carbohydrates. Many diabetic vegetarians have discovered that as a result of their meatless diet, they've had to use insulin injections less, which gives them a feeling of power and control over their disease.

    Is it safe or even effective to work out the same muscle groups two days in a row?

    Posted: 25 Apr 2021 09:52 AM PDT

    I'm still relatively new to the fitness lifestyle, I've only been at it for about 3 weeks now, and I currently go to the gym about 3 times a week and I absolutely love it. I was wondering though after seeing different videos of people who were in my place going to the gym 5 times a week, is this safe to do early on and if so should I be working different muscle groups at each session or keeping with my current full body exercises each session, so far this is where I'm at and I'd love any advice/critique on what to improve or change in my routine.

    First time in: 3/10/21 - Crunch machine 10lbs 3 sets of 5, back extension machine 175 3 sets of 5, row machine 70lbs 3 sets of 5, seated leg press 70lbs, 1/2 mile on tread mill

    Most recent gym session: 3/24/31 Crunch machine 50lbs 3 sets of 5, back extension machine 235 4 sets of 5, row machine 115 3 sets of 5, seated leg press 175 3 sets of 5, bench press 80 3 sets of 5, weighted squat 90 3 sets of 5, pectoral fly 115 3 sets of 5, chest press 85 3 sets of 5, shoulder press 20lb dumbells' 3 sets of 5 cardio: 2 miles on elliptical cycle

    I Want To Lose Body Fat - Help

    Posted: 25 Apr 2021 10:51 AM PDT

    F21 CW: 120lbs (54.4kg) Height: 4ft11 (151cm)

    So, from September last year, I have been on and off in a calorie deficit; staying in a secure one from January. During this time I have attended the gym and such but not since it's been closed due to COVID. I have lost 37lbs so far due to reducing my food intake mainly.

    During my calorie deficit I have not cared at all about the nutrition I've been receiving, due to the fact that I know that as long as I hit a certain limit of calories each day, I'll lose weight regardless. In the more recent weeks though I have been striving to hit my bare minimum protein target (0.36 x lbs in BW) everyday in an effort to slowly get to a more optimal diet to serve my body well.

    I am actually in a healthy BMI range, but the thing is, my body fat percentage is astoundingly high for someone of my weight and height. My fat is visibly mostly gathered around my midsection/abdominal region. In an almost alarming amount. By this weight I'd expected to see less but I'm guessing due to my poor nutrition and lack of exercise, my body hasn't shaped up the way I hoped it to.

    So here comes the help part. The gyms reopen tomorrow. I really want to change my body composition. Getting that body fat% down and looking toned is the most important thing to me. Other areas of my body I'm honestly not as focused on currently, as my stomach has always been a huge (literally) problem area for me.

    What kind of exercise routine do I adapt to help with this? What kind of nutrition goals do I set? And honestly I already know I will struggle dearly to integrate regular exercise into my everyday lifestyle so I'm hoping I can implement some changes without doing crazy 50minute strength training exercises 5 days a week or something.

    Any help for this small, fat beginner would be so, SO appreciated and considered! Thank you for reading!
