- Got clean, lost 50lbs doing keto, gained an eating disorder(ish) and now im looking to start gaining muscle.
- Will I see the same results doing pushups and other various bodyweight chest exercises as I would doing Bench Press?
- What do you guys do on separate cardio days?
| Posted: 01 Aug 2021 03:07 PM PDT I was a drug addict for my entire 20's and gained a lot of weight thought binging and sleeping when I wasn't able to be high. I got my shit together through a 12 step program and now have 3 years clean (yay!). I have lost 50lbs since my heaviest weight 4 years ago by following a keto diet on and off. I have struggled with staying strict and have found myself at a point now where I feel like my behavior around food looks a lot like obsession and compulsion (surprise, surprise). I need advice on how I can change my mindset around food to help me gain muscle in the gym. I cannot do keto at the gym, I almost pass out and throw up everytime. I am just showing up to the gym with a friend and trying to learn and put in the effort. My brain is telling me that whenever I eat non-keto food I am harming myself and im going to get fat again. TLDR; lost weight, now im flabby, scared to eat non-keto food that is necessary to go to the gym. Plz help [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Aug 2021 11:12 AM PDT So I am switching to bodyweight fitness for my chest soley, but I will stick to weights for other workouts. I am unable to lay on the bench (due to unspecified reasons) so I figured various types of pushups would be a good alternative. I know nothing can replace the effective of bench pressing but over the next month or two will I see the same level of results (strength, hypertrophy) as I would doing weighted exercises? So my previous routine was: 3x10 Flat bench Incline bench Floor flys Currently I'm doing: 3x10 pushup Decline Pushups Reverse incline pushups Underhand chest raise Will I see the same level of effectiveness doing the latter routine instead of my initial one? Is there anything I should change about my current routine, should I add Svend press? Switch out one of the exercises? Thank you in advance [link] [comments] |
| What do you guys do on separate cardio days? Posted: 01 Aug 2021 11:13 AM PDT Exactly as the title states, Just wanted a rough idea on how long it should be and what some of you guys do? Just run on a treadmill for 30 mins and done? or like do you rest and do another cardio workout too? Bonus question: also in this the first shoulder extension is just a regular dead hang, correct? If not what is the actual name for it since I can't seem to find it haha Edit: dumb question ik but do you change sides when you do a knee Copenhagen plank? Like 30 second on one side then 30 on the next? [link] [comments] |
