    I have an insane amount of stretch marks on my legs due to rapid weight gain from being an underweight twink to ottermode. My quads are only 27 inches so not giant but my groin has multiple .5 inch wide stretch marks. I don't want to get anymore, can I squat once a week without leg growth or should I just train legs through cardio?

    I have a friend who wants to get into fitness for the first time. I never came up with a standard beginner routine for myself, but thought this would work for him (3x/week). Main compounds and then a few iso movements to cover the weak spots. Not sure if supersetting would be applicable, but these routines look like long days to me.

      Looks okay, save for a few things:

      1. DB lateral raise should be in the 12+ / failure rep range.

      2. Don't do DB kickbacks. Do dips or overhead extensions instead.

      Personally I would get him to stick with 3-4 lifts each session max, as keeping it simple doesn't over complicate things.
      Overtly long and complicated sessions for those beginning will lead to lack luster performance, shortcuts, compromised form and not giving your 100.
      Learning proper form and motion for 14 different lifts from fresh, is undoubtedly a herculean effort.

      However I was a beginner once and your damm right I experimented with every meme lift humanely possible.
      Given he'll be doing noob weight, the risk of injury is less so let him go crazy and experiment within reason.
      Once he's got the ropes, been going for a month and is hooked on the lifestyle.
      Id get him to pick out his favourite lifts from each muscle group, and create together a more streamlined program that's easier to stick with and perfect.

      Fair, but I don't really care to look like a top level bodybuilder. I lift for fun, health, and to look better naked. Is my training style really going to stop me from achieving that?

      Secondly, I think you're right. I initially based my routine off pic related but I felt that after 15 reps I felt a much better pump/DOMS.

      Think to yourself seriously about how many jacked guys at your gym have ever even considered training off a spreadsheet, or heard of a mesocycle

    Do I really need to do this mesocycle, week 1-4 spreadsheet bullshit or can I just go to the gym, lift in the hypertrophy rep range, and go home? Also, I know some people say 8-12 is the ideal "hypertrophy zone" or whatever but I respond well to high reps and have been hitting for sets of 15. Is this also stupid?

    I am an intermediate lifter (~2 years training) who is moving from strength to hypertrophy training because I'm tired of being a skinny dude who just so happens to bench 2 plates.

      If you want good results you should have a structured approach to what you do. No top level bodybuilder does the latter of what you suggested.

      >Hypertrophy
      Reps between 1 and 30 are perfectly fine for building muscle, but you should hit all sorts of rep ranges, not ever just a single one according to Renaissance Periodization

          If you're implementing some method of progressive overload and are able to keep track of everything in your head, then I don't see why it wouldn't work. But this would be a difference of meh to acceptable compared to great results, assuming you know how to program.

            I do follow a routine and I do keep track of my lifts and make sure each workout was harder than the last. That said, I don't like the complexities of periodization. I'd rather just try to lift heavier, and deload if I fail.

              Unfortunately for you, the bigger you get, the more complex your training has to become. Periodization exists as a result of the body's natural resistance to constantly getting bigger and stronger, not in spite of it. However, you're only two years in, and you had a strength focus for most of it. So I doubt very highly that you'll need something all that complex for a while.

    I've got some mild interscapular pain and bruising from squatting, notably on where the bar rests.
    I've thought about using a barbell pad, yet I'm worried it might throw off my form with the added distance aswell as allowing the bar to roll and tip.
    I view them in a vein similar to gloves as pure pussy protection.
    However I can see this interscapular pain potentially getting gradually worse overtime, and maybe even leading to an injury.
    Should I chicken out and use a barbell pad, or put up with the pain and get used to it?

      Experiment with bar position more. I assume you're doing low bar? Are you retracting your shoulder blades and keeping your rib cage down?

        I've been keeping my bar grip fairly wide as I'm not yet very comfortable or flexible enough with gripping closer to the edge of the smooth.
        My shoulders are retracted back as with most my lifts, yet I could definitely work on forcing them and my diaphragm down better during lifts.

        • 2 years ago
          Anonymous

          I mean experiment with placing the bar either higher or lower, not grip width. Grip width is mobility dependent and not that important so long as you don't need to grip the plates or some shit to have the bar stable on your back.

    Weighed planks good for building core strength? Been underweight my entire life, my abs are tiny and underdeveloped even tho I'm lean.
    Started using 40lbs for 1 min x 3, now 60lbs for 1 min x 3. I'm starting to see a tiny bit of development in my upper abs but it just feels so easy now. I've realized actually putting 100lbs in a backpack is going to be unfeasible.

      yes any weighted exercise you can progress on is going to be good for your abs. like you said it gets difficult to load after a while. weighted situps are also good. cable crunches are the best.

      To make planks harder, place your elbows out further in front of you instead of under your shoulders. I had a similar problem, where a 45lb plate was getting too light and putting on much more without a partner is annoying at best. Putting my elbows out in front of me was much harder than weighted planks. They humble you very quickly.

      Look up the protein of the raw weight before cooking.

    - I'll take the required amount to supplement my daily diet when necessary.
    - I'll take 50g before and after my workout. (am fat)

    Caffeine
    - I'll take 200mg before a workout if that workout is before 12am.

    Creatine
    - I'll take 5g with dinner everyday.

    How am I doing? I'll probably also take a multivitamin with dinner, not sure about that yet.

      100 grams of whey per day is excessive. the 1g/lbs rule for protein doesn't really apply for fatsos, Jeff Nippards video on the topic covers this I think. 1-2 scoops of protein per day is normal. Rest is fine.

      My t-levels have been increasing exponentially and I don't like it. Can I unironically balance this out by taking estrogen? Like does an estrogen and a testosterone cancel each other out or am I just going to turn into a freakazoid with extremely high levels of both?

        You should take creatine within 90 minutes after your lifting session for max gainz, according to studies

          its a drug. an addictive substances. the performance difference is so minimal when you use it. its not worth using regularly and fricking up your natural energy levels and sleep just to lift 1% better. maybe save it for special occasions like testing 1RMs.

    Tell me if anything else is shit too.

      If you are using hip thrusts for glute development, then it isn't necessary unless you've the glutes of an infant. Deadlifts/squats are more than enough for glute development. I would replace the hip thrusts with those paused squats you mentioned, and I think it's a good idea to take the rack pulls out. If you want to do shrugs that's fine, but also unnecessary as deadlifts and rows will hit your traps hard already.

        i added the hip thrusts cause i have a problem with my pelvis hurting near the tailbone, so i figured i should try and build the muscle up around that area more to see if it would help. Its just i tried them and didnt really like them. WIll take the rack pulls out and do something else. TY

      That could work, so could staying at maintenance, and so could a 200 surplus. The thing that matters most is staying consistent with your training, diet, and sleep over the years, you'll put on muscle and find out what works best for you training/diet-wise.

    Anons with 4 plate+ squat DL etc. How do you warm up to your working weight? How many sets does it take you, how do you keep from wearing yourself out prematurely.

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      When I warm up to mid 400s, let's say 455 for this case, I'll do it like this; Bar x 12, 135 x 6, 225 x5, 315 x 4, 365 x 2, and 405 x 1. Similar for my squat when warming up for 4 plates as well. Prior to touching the bar I will do a couple of stretches but that's it. This is what I've found works for me, I have never been injured squatting or deadlifting. With that being said my method probably isn't best for everyone, and if you think your warmup is too much, it is much worse to be injured than lose out on a handful of lbs on your lifts because you warmed up "too much."

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      >squat
      general warmup stuff first, I like to get my shoulders loose and my back as well. I do little meme things with dumbells, you can use bands, anything works really as long as you're getting blood flowing. I also do a little touch the toes straight legged thing for a bit, just to get the hammies woken up. I then do static squat holds with bodyweight for a few minutes in different stance widths, etc. I go by feel here, mainly just getting my knees/hips/ankles/lower back used to being in that position. Then the warmup with weights is as follows
      Barx15-20 tempo: not fast or slow, fluid and groovy
      135x12 t: even tempo, similar to bar, maybe a bit faster on the way up
      225x8 t: same as before, but definitely starting to go faster on the way up
      275x3 t: slower down than normal, but real quick on the way up
      315x2 t: regular speed on the way down, up as fast as I can
      I put my belt on at 2pl8 just to get used to bracing with it. After the 3pl8 double I'm usually ready to get into whatever working sets or top sets Im doing. If those are at or above 4pl8 I will do a single with 365, anything below 4pl8 I'll just get right into it.
      >deadlift
      general warm up is pretty much the same as squat.
      barx0, I start at 1pl8 for diddlies
      135x10? I just go by feel here, slow even tempo the whole way
      225x3 This probably isn't "correct" but I start pulling pretty quick here. I pull better when I cue explosive type stuff, so I start getting ready for that as early as I can.
      315x2 again, quick. ripping it
      365x1 as fast as I can
      405x1 as fast as I can
      455x1 as fast as I can
      then begin the workout. I also put a belt on at 2pl8 here, just to get used to the bracing. If Im doing a top set or working sets that require straps, Ill use them from 4pl8 onward just to get used to it. My grip isn't an issue with singles, hook grip is supreme. But straps are a necessary evil sometimes, I cannot hook grip for eternity like some people can. I'll get there some day

      I think you're fine, lets diagnose. Don't get lost in 'feels', do you get a pump in your biceps at all? When I do heavy 8s with the ez bar my biceps blow up. Forearms too, but biceps as well. Is this the case for you or is it only forearms and you're not getting much blood in the bicep?

          I'm going to type this out in case it applies to you. It might not, I don't know. If it doesn't then maybe someone else reading can learn. If you do the ez bar curl with a perfect posture and your elbows pinched to your lats, you may be getting a bad feel/forearm load. This isn't 'wrong' whatsoever, but sometimes it doesn't do the trick. Heres what I like: Lean forward just a bit, nothing crazy, slight lean. Then, kick your elbows off your lats. DONT point them outwards, just dont pinch them in. Give em some room, it should feel natural. From here you're bringing the bar straight to your chin with a big squeeze at the top. Then you're NOT letting it drop to your hips, you're letting it hang off your hips at about the midline of your foot. Your cue going up should be something to do with bringing it to your chin and squeezing, dont let it swing down and bump off your waist, let it hang a bit. I like a wide grip with this but a narrow is fine, just see which one you prefer. I get a vicious pump with this technique, I like the 8-10 rep range but nothing is off limits.

    I recently started using Rival Clean Weight gainer instead of normal protein powders because I'm trying to gain some weight.

    I know my body can't process more than 30 grams of protein within an hour so I've been measuring my protein intake to be just under that each hour.
    I'm just wondering how much of this weight gainer is too much for a single day?
    Every serving is 560calories and I like to have one in the morning while I drive into work and another one just before I go to bed.
    Is that too much? I do eat about 2500 calories a day and just adding this to get over 3000.

              you aren't going to get anywhere with this mind set. I use to feel like throwing up after having 1500 cals. 1 piece of toast would keep me full for half the day. but if I wanted results that wasn't going to get me anywhere. I pushed myself every week to eat more and now I can put down 3k+ without a problem. I can eat 1kcal clean meals in one sitting. its all about putting in the effort and making a change. you have to make yourself suffer and feel uncomfortable in order to break the habit. train your stomach just like you would your muscles. eating is a workout.

          This is going to sound moronic but is something the recommend for people like you.
          Stop going to bed because you feel tired. Only go to bed once you can't keep your eyes open. For about 2-3 weeks you're going to be exhausted and it's going to suck but it'll help a ton.
          Don't use your bed for anything other than to go to sleep or sex (imagine any of us getting some)
          Regardless of what time it is when you wake up get out of bed right away. Do some simple chores around the house. Avoid television or the computer and once your feel sleep again go back to bed even if it's for another 15 minutes.

      There is a lot of misconception about why GMOs are seen as unhealthy. The problem with GMOs is not the actual molecular structure of the food, as far as I know. The whole reason they genetically modify a lot of these crops is basically to protect them from bugs. Normal plants will die from too many pesticides. So they’ve genetically modified these crops to be able to withstand massive amounts of pesticides, which protects the crops from bugs. But pesticides are incredibly bad and so GMO products are likely to have higher levels of pesticide contamination

              Depends on what you want. By including the third day, you get more volume for your “vanity” muscles. Your shoulders, biceps, and triceps are what people will notice a lot. What you’ve got for back and chest will fill out your frame, but the third day will give you satisfying aesthetic gains as opposed to just being stronger and looking bigger overall

      If you are a total noob, you can get the smaller side of Ottermode level results. If you have lifted weights before and got noticeable gains, you will get stronger, you will get a good workout in, but you won’t get much mass. Depending on how built you are right now, you may not get noticeably bigger when you look in a mirror. Doing 50-100 Pull ups a few times a week will definitely give you some back and bicep results, but doing 200+ push ups regularly will just wear out your joints before you get “big”. Doing hundreds of body weight squats and lunges will give you some leg results, but you’ll max out quickly

          Just like anything else, your body has limits to what it can use and absorb. Creatine has a hard limit of being able to utilize about 5 g per day. Any more and you're just wasting it. After you've been consuming it for a week or so your blood will get more saturated with it and you'll start to feel the effects, minimal as they are. You LITERALLY cannot rush it.

              per day or when you stop using it? The body flushes out anything extra it can't store or use daily, that's your shit and piss. When you stop using creatine, it'll probably take a few weeks to clear it out of your system entirely.

              i know i know... i had that mind set of just saying frick it i'll eat the first time i bulked started getting sleep apnea like crazy and thus started a cut i do have some kg down now so maybe bulking is back in

              You also have the option of maintaining for a few months if that might satisfy you, build some muscle while keeping your current range of weight, or even leanbulking if you really want to limit extra fat.

              Is there a limit bf% one to not go below? or just some meme legend

              The human body starts to fail at too low of BF%, your body needs that fat to operate correctly. It's really hard to get that low though, for guys I think it's like 8% or below while girls are something like 10%. Not a legend, just so difficult to do that most people will never need to worry about it.

    Neither of them will go to gym or lift weights but both have mentioned yoga/tai chi...
    Is it worth pursuing the yoga/tai chi interest to get them moving at least a little and then trying to push for more activity later? Or should i just walk and let them deal with it?

    Every dyel at the gym mogs my physique but I throw around weights they struggle to even keep straight on the upwards motion. I lift at least 2-3x more than they do when it comes to my upper body, but they're a lot more muscular than I.

        its a drug. an addictive substances. the performance difference is so minimal when you use it. its not worth using regularly and fricking up your natural energy levels and sleep just to lift 1% better. maybe save it for special occasions like testing 1RMs.

        Okay cool, I won't take too much whey. Disagree on the caffeine tho. I lift three times a week and don't drink much coffee. I think caffeine is a great way to energize myself three days a week. I can really feel a difference.

      For pullups, try to maintain neutral wrists. When you have weak grip strength your natural tendency will be to curl your wrists outwards which puts tremendous strain on your forearm muscles and you'll probably feel it in your wrists too.

    This is a question I would really like answered just because of meditation on my part.

    How come dumbbell benching for me personally feels better than regular barbell benching? I started barbell benching pre corona and got to at least 2plate+. When coron hit and I finally got back to the gym I just started doing dumbbell bench because I wanted to try to get to 120lb dumbbells. I've gotten to 105lbs yet recently I tried barbell benching and full on grinded 2 plate. I also have to say my shoulders felt like shit every fricking set. I move back to dumbbells and shoulders feel fine.

    ive been eating at maintenance, slight surplus for 1 and a half months now after hardcore dieting and starting creatine... so, naturally i expected to gain a lot of weight at first. was 79kg, thought it would stall out at 82-83kg at first, my workout and diet have been autistically the same for the whole time, however since one and a half weeks ago, my weight has come up from 82 to 84.5kg, how come such massive fluctuations happen? its not all muscle, no way all that is fat, so what is causing me to gain this much all of a sudden? stress, not enough sleep? maybe my muscles retaining more water?

      not exactly related to you but gyno is a whole lot weird ass process
      supposedly, if you have gyno you can't fix it (by yourself) since its a hormonal issue, ever since I lost fat and had loose skin I visited 8 different plastic surgeons, first one said I have gyno 100%, next one said its just skin, then they said I have a "mini gyno" or some more medical equivalent of that, next one said "seems like you used to have gyno but then it went away", eventually got the surgery done and they told me it wasn't gyno it was just loose skin, then I checked my medical records a few months later and documents said it was a surgery for gyno, I asked the doc and he said "oh thats just due to labelling issues don't mind it"

      basically its a very up-in-the-air thing

      probably not the answer you wanna hear but imo the whole "focus on hypertrophy" stuff is nonsense when it comes to picking programs. If you want to alter a program to hit a certain muscle, go for it. I've been using the Generic Bulking Routine for years now and just adjusting it whenever I feel like I'm lacking or not having enough time. Done wonders for me.

      TLDR is just add more overall reps to accessories if you wanna encourage hypertrophy, and adjust your compound lifts accordingly. But all exercise will grow your muscles somewhat.

      i am 176cm/5 "8 cut 3 months down from 79kg to 74kg (174lb to ~163lbs)
      have been lifting for a year 6 months SL 6 months of 5/3/1
      previous months i failed to eat enough i.e. at 1800 kcal then upped it to 2300 for the last 7ish
      still skinnyfat, should i continue my cut to get to around 70kg then bulk up again?
      i dont like the fat i have on my stomach and love handles

      up to you, though personally I'd want to build more muscle before losing the fat, since lifting at a deficit when you don't have any muscle is kinda miserable imo

      All I got are a pair of adjustable 50lb dumbbells (joinable as a 100lb combined barbell) and a yoga mat. What is a good program for me to build muscle using only what I got? Can it be done 6 days of the week with one rest day? If I'm a beginner, how much weight should I be lifting on my dumbbells?

      I've never been a fan of dumbbell only programs, I feel it's too easy to flub your form and beginners can get injured more easily. You can do basic exercises like curls, bench, shoulder presses, and stiff-legged deadlifts, but overall you're not going to have enough weights to train your lower body. I'd recommend either getting a real bar with some plates or joining a real gym if possible.

          again, it's up to you, but in my experience trying to chase a certain number on the scale as opposed to chasing a certain feeling or look.

          Plus if you're gaining weight while exercising, it's not gonna be pure fat on your stomach, at least half of it will be muscle. Gaining weight doesn't necessarily mean getting fat.

      I would add to this that any food which increases your circulating Low-Density-Lipoproteins are unequivocally bad for you, since those trigger artery plaque.

      sometimes in the morning with water and a kiwi or half a banana (for some reason satiates me easily for 3-4 hours at least however my ~450kcal oatmeal doesnt, weird how that works) and always after a workout.

      you can't choose a physique, you can just exercise and make the best of your own body. Read the sticky.

      So you also take it on days you don't workout?

      Just if you need to. It's not a requirement.

      anyone?

      someone already answered you

      probably not the answer you wanna hear but imo the whole "focus on hypertrophy" stuff is nonsense when it comes to picking programs. If you want to alter a program to hit a certain muscle, go for it. I've been using the Generic Bulking Routine for years now and just adjusting it whenever I feel like I'm lacking or not having enough time. Done wonders for me.

      TLDR is just add more overall reps to accessories if you wanna encourage hypertrophy, and adjust your compound lifts accordingly. But all exercise will grow your muscles somewhat.

      [...]
      up to you, though personally I'd want to build more muscle before losing the fat, since lifting at a deficit when you don't have any muscle is kinda miserable imo

      [...]
      I've never been a fan of dumbbell only programs, I feel it's too easy to flub your form and beginners can get injured more easily. You can do basic exercises like curls, bench, shoulder presses, and stiff-legged deadlifts, but overall you're not going to have enough weights to train your lower body. I'd recommend either getting a real bar with some plates or joining a real gym if possible.

      I don't know exactly what's my TDEE, I do weightlifting 2hours a day, 6 days a week. I also run 40-50km weekly. I've been eating around 2200 calories since I am cutting.

          I get nauseous if I eat/drink anything besides water prior to working out, since it's dairy I'd recommend it only after a work out. Timing doesn't really matter.

      do you NEED any of that shit? I take vitamin D since I work inside all day and have a light deficiency. Omega3 is a meme as-is ZMA. Vitamin D can be absorbed through trace amounts of fat so you'll be find taking that.

      some people are dicks. End of discussion. Move on and if he gives you more shit report him to the front desk for harassment. Q: Were you using the bench for bench presses with a bar and all? Only reason I even ask is because I see normie girls at my gym use the bench for dumb shit that they could do elsewhere.

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        I did use it for a kinda shit reason (RDLs), but two things: (1) he couldn't have possibly known what I was going to use the bench for at the time of asking and (2) the issue at my gym is that there is basically no space in-between the benches or in front of the DB rack, i.e. if you want to use the DBs, you are basically automatically occupying a bench. I use the bench to rest the DBs on it in-between sets (I can't hoist 50lbs DBs off the heigt of the floor as easily). Granted if someone really wanted to do arms or such on the bench I would concede. He, on the other hand, used it to do incline push-ups for some reason and then left, only to circle around it and do three or four incline push ups at a time. Strange

          I don't know what your space situation is, but at my gym we have limited equipment, not space. We have 13 stations for a barbell to live but only 9 bars, so people will often need to borrow them. I'm fricking livid when I see someone occupying a bar station without a bar when the rest are full because they could easily do it near the dumbbells or even use the free bench (a bench not welded to the floor) for it.

      Nothing you can do if you rationally know you shouldn't care but still do. Over time you'll forget about the interaction.

      >inb4 lift
      yea, duh... but i've consumed so much fit / gym theory im practically lost, idk what to even do

      eat properly, 10-20 sets per week for each bodypart in the 10-20 rep range. 6-8 is also fine for stuff like squat bench and deadlift. increase weight and when you can't increase weight increase reps. repeat for 5 years.

    im on a hard diet and looking to cut corners on calories wherever possible. for a long time now ive drank a whole can of coconut water in my protein shake because it tastes good and because it has a very high potassium count, ive never gotten a cramp since i started on this, but im thinking i might need to cut it to save calories. would supplementing potassium via pills still be just as fine to prevent cramps? id probably end up getting way more potassium that way but im just wondering if it will absorb as well.

    How should I fit lifting into my schedule? I work 10 hour shifts at a warehouse 4 days a week. On my 3 days off I do muay thai where I also spar for 1-2 hours.

    Usually after work im too sore or exhausted to do anything other than eat, relax, and sleep for my next shift. Im mainly looking to improve performance for my sport, but also maybe work on any imbalances I have from my job. My back, glutes, biceps, and shoulders all get a decent workout from the warehouse. My calves and general hip area get a lot of work from muay thai, so I am thinking of going to lift on 2 of my off days after sparring, and mainly focusing on some sort of horizontal press, something for my core, and some sort of leg press or squat for my quads, but Im not sure if this is moronic or would be enough to make a noticeable difference.

    Any advice on fitting in lifting as a supplement to sports? Does it make sense to only work the muscle groups I dont feel get worked as much at warehouse job? Thanks
