| Posted: 06 Aug 2021 02:00 AM PDT 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] |
| Bulgarian Bag for strength...? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 03:06 PM PDT What are people's thoughts on using a heavier-than-recommended Bulgarian bag? It's generally used as a strength-endurance-cardio tool that is centred around lower back and core strength in the transverse plane, along with grip and shoulder endurance. Usually you see the bag used for 10-12 reps, switch exercise, another 10-12 reps, repeat, through several exercises without rest. I see this as something akin to doing barbell complexes, which are great, but not necessarily conducive to pure strength/power, and more of a strength endurance thing bordering on cardio/HIIT. So what if one were to use a bag heavier than that recommended, sticking within a range where 4-8 reps would be max effort, then taking a break, then repeating for another 3-4 sets? It's normally recommended than a reasonably athletic male should start with a 12kg bag, then move to a 17kg then 22kg eventually. But I'm thinking of a scenario where one would begin with a 22kg and move potentially to a 30kg. I guess one could also slow down the movements somewhat, focusing less on the skill of the movement and more on strength/time under tension. Another parallel; heavy kettlebells where movements such as the overhead press are performed seated and with strict form. This matter is interesting to me because I don't see it explored much anywhere, and it is an incredibly versatile piece of equipment, and I love the core stability benefits offered in that transverse plane which is something that isn't targeted by conventional weight lifting programmes. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
