Haven't been going to the gym to much and just returned. Tried out the calf press and just did 250 on it at 6 reps.

#

U should try plyometrics

lucid meadow
#

What is that?

pure veldt
#

womp womp

#

science based gym

#

I started growing when I stopped caring about science

#

@fickle atlas so... I look shorter

#

😭😭😭

red onyx
#

It helps with explosiveness with speed and jumping

stark cradle
#

how much do you guys pay for creatine monohydrate?

#

im considering buying some and i see 300g for $22 is that a decent price

rustic geode
#

i have few question do i really need 10k step challenge the day i workout? or its better will do it on rest days

#

or 3 times a week

thin fjord

It makes you able to eat more

#

So more gains

#

Well... I'm going back to clean bulking tho

#

Been partying this couple days

rustic geode
#

i have suborn belly fat and handles trying to burn this off and make my abs appear

#

i do regularly cardio like cycling, jumping rope, abs every 3 days and the rest 3-4 days is weight liftings

#

and sometimes in my rest days i do only walk outside for 30 to 1hour

#

i hit my protein intake over than my protein intake needed everyday example my protein intake is 70 and i eat like about 100+ a day

#

also i eat few calories 1200-1300 healthy foods

#

cheat meal day every 2 weeks sometimes a month about 1400-1800 calories

limber grail

#

Ignore the sandals lmao.

#

Gonna try to max the machine out over the next week or two.

lucid meadow
#

I actually walked fine lmao.

#

The problem was the pressure on my kneecaps.

#

It felt like I was being compressed haha.

#

My plan is once I can max this machine out 370lbs I will work on maxing it out with one leg at a time

lucid meadow
#

Managed to do 130lbs @ 10 reps comfortably on one leg at a time now.

limber grail
#

Maybe consider slower reps at lower weight then, if your kneecaps are at you would pretty much have the same effect

any zwifters in here?

#

I'm at 83kgs :D

#

lost like 700gs of muscle in my legs

#

but who cares

#

but also lost 2.5kgs of fat

pure veldt
#

yuh

#

182lbs

rustic geode
#

I have questions Is really necessary to get adapted to fat to loss stubborn belly fat?

#

Or it’s still works on low carbs diet

#

I been doing low carb, enough healthy fats diet for like 3 months I guess and I am at 10-15 percentage belly fat dunno what to do

#

To loss this stubborn fat

limber grail
red onyx
#

You also won’t lose anymore weight with a calorie deficit if u don’t exercise

#

And starving yourself of food also isn’t good when trying to lose weight

#

Eating more protein rich foods will make you feel full with less

limber grail

#

A week is way too little time for it to adapt

limber grail
#

I also highly recommend protein snacks/protein bars

red onyx
#

I was pretty broad with my statement

limber grail
#

I stand my fulfil for bars and myprotein for snacks, quest are decent the options by quest here are low tbh

pure veldt
#

it only depends really on your weigth and lifestyle

#

if you eat for 200lbs you'll be 200lbs

limber grail
#

That too, they're not cheap

lucid meadow
#

Forgot to post but two days ago I did it! I successfully accomplished 370 @ 8 reps on the calf press.

thin fjord
lucid meadow
#

I am now able to do sets at 370lb. :)!

#

Did 3 sets today on the calf press, and some core exercises.

thin fjord
#

inline skating will help with that Nerd

#

Dont worry when you become a dad your calves should immediately double in size

lucid meadow
#

I can find a way to use my calves in just about everyday life.

pure veldt
#

it can't lil bro

#

out of every damn exercise

#

you really chose calve raises

#

😭

lucid meadow
#

I've decided I am gonna work towards beating the work record on the calf press. I am now doing 370lbs quite comfortably, gonna move onto training 370 on one leg.

lucid meadow
#

With one leg, I can do about 250lbs on the calf press.

#

World record was about 1200 on both legs.

pure veldt
lucid meadow
pure veldt
#

so you actually give them some time to actually recover

#

you can't recover something if you're actively using it

lucid meadow
#

On the recovery matter, mine is about 32-36hrs is that good or bad?

pure veldt
#

I recover for a whole week

thin fjord
pure veldt
#

if yo things aint hurting for a whole week

lucid meadow
thin fjord
#

🥱

#

lol

pure veldt
#

you aren't working out

#

just training till mid disconfort

lucid meadow
pure veldt
thin fjord
#

training till your muscle groups dont function properly isnt the only valid way to work out you know

pure veldt
#

I will have like less 20-30% of work load

#

and would overtrain

pure veldt
#

there're other ways of training, sure

#

but if you're trying to really break your expectations

#

you gotta give it all

thin fjord
#

yea it just depends what the goal is

pure veldt
#

can't give your 50% and call it a day

lucid meadow
#

For me, I've been training till either one of three things happen:

  1. (most common) my bones feel very compressed to the point of needing to stop before something bad happens
  2. Just short of muscle tearing
  3. Pain reaching the point that is near what I experienced when two discs in my spine slipped out.
lucid meadow
pure veldt
#

I train till I can't move the weigth anymore

#

idc about pain

#

if I really feel like doing good form I ask for some type of spotting

lucid meadow
#

I see. in any case it's been fun talking but dinner is ready.

#

My issue rn is I've maxed the machine so I can't really strain my muscle to truly painful points, mostly working on repetition at this point in time.

pure veldt
#

you're doing cardio

lucid meadow
#

Currently doing about 2-3 sets of 8 reps at 370lbs both legs then I train 1-2 sets each leg at 250lbs

thin fjord
#

nah im too broke

lucid meadow
#

R.I.P I really gotta go now, talk to y'all later.

pure veldt
#

I do 1 warmup

#

2-3 sets to muscular failure

#

and dropset in the 3rd set

#

3-4 exercises per muscle group

red onyx
#

My legs used to hurt for m-f all the time when I used to do sports

pure veldt
#

My chest takes like 4-5 days to recover

lucid meadow
#

Are you talking about full recovery or recovering to the point of being able to use it for lifting again?

lucid meadow
pure veldt
red onyx
pure veldt
#

doing 6-10 working sets

#

is definetely not overworking

lucid meadow
#

It's different for each person. For me this is what works best. I am adding about 30lbs comfortably to how much I can do on the calve raise each week.

pure veldt
#

is it that hard to understand that

#

😭

#

if you can confortably add weigth without losing form and reps

#

you're doing cardio

lucid meadow
#

I want form and function.

pure veldt
#

well

#

then keep up with yo big dreams and end up being crushed

#

👍

#

@fickle atlas look at this fellas 😭

lucid meadow
#

Odd to have a thumbs up in such a message but yes I am aware it's not as efficient.

#

Out of curiosity, Lopes how much weight are you doing right now?

pure veldt
#

and what

#

you can't just ask for weight and not tell me what exercise

lucid meadow
#

Forgot. Hmm, guess calf raises to stay on topic?

#

Actually, whatever your favorite exercise is.

pure veldt
pure veldt
#

so prolly I'll give the ones I prolly do the most

Leg press - 360kgs/793lbs x 8-12
Shoulder Press - 60kgs/132lbs x 10-12
Incline Chest Press - 80kgs/176lbs x 8-12
Barbell curl - 35kgs/77lbs x 10-12
Deadlift - 163kgs/359lbs x 1-2
Row - 100kgs/220lbs x 8-10
Dips - 110kgs/243lbs x 8-12

#

idk my 1 rep maxes bcs I don't really try them

👍

red onyx
pure veldt
#

unless you're playing instead of working out

#

but ay, stay small ig

pure veldt
#

fellas wanting to break records

#

and working out till mild disconfort

#

😭

#

IKR

pure veldt
#

I been saying that, but ig fellas are professionals

#

😭

red onyx
#

Plyometrics are the only good exercise that kinda helps the calves imo

#

In functionality

pure veldt
#

calves are genetic

red onyx
#

Yea ik, tendon placement

pure veldt
#

if you train your leg you won't need to train calves

#

since again you use them all the time

#

they ain't going anywhere

#

the fella cares

#

😭

#

This week I haven't gone to the gym

#

😭

#

next week I gotta get back

#

nah actually rip

#

this week I really couldn't

#

my father died earlier in the week

#

and then my grandma died like 2 days after

#

ikr

#

but we gotta get back ‼️

#

#

I discovered that using original silk brand almond milk in my weird concoction of protein shake is waaay better than the flavored. It just makes the shake taste like refreshing lightly earthy peanut butter

#

easier to mix too

thin fjord
#

that reminds me, i got some oat milk the other day for my coffee thats a different brand than what i usually get, and its SO good

pure veldt
#

Today

#

I almost made a kid cry

#

Bro was tryna go show off

#

Bro asked if I wanted him to take off weight of the squat bar

#

Bro was doing 4-5 reps@60kgs/122lbs

#

😭😭😭

#

Then he went

#

Ah nah, I'm training strength

#

My brother in christ

#

What strength 😭😭

#

Then I dropped the 100kgs for reps 8-12, my strength is kinda sleeping vcs of the week off

#

Next week might get back to 120

thin fjord
#

Why are you shaming someone for lifting less than you

#

Strength training is strength training. It depends on the person and their build, and what their goal is anyway.

hollow dirge
primal void
#

Yeah I've learned theres a lot of people training for so many different things aswell

#

Like I can guarantee I can not lift near what some people in my gym can, but a lot of them can't do a muscle up or front lever like I train for

#

And we all start somewhere too, I started benching literally 85lbs for a working set when I got into the gym, now I'm doing 185 for a working set

#

I'm always glad to see people in the gym regardless of what weight they are lifting

thin fjord
#

Egotistical gym rats are cringe as hell

upper juniper
#

I've never talked to a rat ngl

primal void
#

Fr, that's why I really don't like to call myself part of the gym community in general. There's so much barrier to entry a lot of people never improve themselves for fear of being judged in the beginning

#

It's like people forget where they started, everyone out here benching 225 fresh out of the womb

pure veldt
pure veldt
#

Like I get the feeling that you're the best, but you can't skip the gym and have that complex

pure veldt
pure veldt
#

Again I said kid, not gym fella

#

A kid for me it's not someone that's young

#

But someone that acts like a kid

#

Imagine if you were a new gym fella

#

And you listen to some guy that he is strength training and after 1 year bro is at 60kgs/132lbs I would feel less motivated since it's that hard to get strong

lucid meadow
#

Tried some other calf machines last night. Found the Calf Raise machine and maxed it out at 390lbs at 2x8 reps.

lucid meadow
lucid meadow
pure veldt
lucid meadow
#

True, XD.

pure veldt
#

And the other machine where you can really focus on the calfs

#

Since that one seems like you're using all of your legs

#

Even if they are micro movements

lucid meadow
#

By that point I had done 370x20 and 170x10 on the horizontal one, and the this seated one a friend introduced me to that uses free-weights so I was worn out lmao.

#

But yeah I think I know the one you are talking about, is it seated with free-weights directly in front of you connected by a bar?

lucid meadow
#

No point imo in having strong calves if they can't handle that strain for long periods.

lucid meadow
# pure veldt Yeah

Yeah that one was pretty straining on the calves, I was really feeling it at about 200lbs.

#

Pre-work out sausage and after-workout protein shake with creatine seems to be working very well for me though. Making good progress.

limber grail
#

Only thing i could do near 60kgs on is my legs (well like 85kgs but that's the closest to 60)

#

Going back to the gym today for the first time in 3 weeks because of Christmas things and then got sick and at like 6pm in January i feel like this is gonna be busy and rough PepeSus

Nothing new. I should know better. I can’t control clowns. I can control myself.

How would someone that actually competes in Olympics be in discord

#

And not be recognized

Ever since I started twisting my wrists with bicep curls I’m getting a better peak. Instead of my bicep and shoulders looking like they are formed together.

pure veldt

you gotta squeeze the biceps

#

not only bringing the weigths up

fickle atlas
#

I do be squeezing. I be squeezing the hell out of that bad boy.

#

Combination of squeeze and twist.

#

Getting a 2 week bulking before I go back to cutting.

#

Due to me getting my wisdom teeth taken out at the end of that

#

And I’ll be on vacation.

Won’t do nothing….

pure veldt

Now able to do about 30-40 reps at 390 on the standing calf raise.

It will do something especially since I’ll be out of commission for a bit. Just creating a small buffer.

i workout 5-6 a week. also doing 7k/10k steps a day i only do 10k steps on my rest day

#

my goal is just loss some fat and gain muscle.

rustic geode
#

would be that too much for me as 80lbs?

limber grail
#

You're not going gain much muscle if you're cutting btw

pure veldt
#

You need to eat everything

#

Not only protein

#

I'd recommend a bulk of 3k cals

#

Till 140 lbs at least

#

Smth like

#

140gs of protein, 400gs of carbs, 50gs of fat (healthy fats if you can) and 30gs of fibers

#

Should be around 2.7k cals

#

Yeah 2650cals

pure veldt
#

It won't go towards muscle synthesis

pure veldt

Question. I’ve been told by my Doc to start going to the gym to fight off some weight.
I’ve cut bread and other high-sugar foods from my diet.
What should I do going to the gym at 6’ and 230lbs?

pure veldt
#

Still

pure veldt
#

4-5 days a week

rustic geode
#

2months later

#

I started lifting weights

austere plinth
#

What type of exercise? My gym has a few basic machines.

pure veldt
#

That's not the thing

#

How were you chubby at 130lbs

rustic geode
#

I was 30-35% body fat back then

pure veldt
#

HUUUH

rustic geode
#

Dude I am little guy kekw

#

5ft tall sad 😭

#

I am 10% bf right now My next goal is loss some fat belly and gain some muscle

#

Kinda like get shredded

#

I just don’t know how it works

pure veldt
#

No way

rustic geode
#

Yep

pure veldt
#

10% BF is shredded

rustic geode
#

I don’t see shredded yet on my body

pure veldt
#

Then you're not 10%

rustic geode
pure veldt
#

You kinda need to bulk till like 120lbs

rustic geode
#

I am embarrassed lol posting my pic here

pure veldt
#

It's alright

rustic geode
pure veldt
#

If you want I can post mine

#

To not feel embarrassed

rustic geode
#

Nah I don’t need to see it 😆

#

I guess I am at 15% then

pure veldt
#

Around it yeah

#

Maybe 16

rustic geode
#

I still gotta work hard 😞

pure veldt
#

Just bulk tbh

pure veldt
#

Try to do a popular split

#

For chest spam incline exercises

#

For back, spam lat pull downs and rows

rustic geode
pure veldt
#

Legs, spam squats

rustic geode
#

When clean bulking

pure veldt
rustic geode
#

I ate around 1400

pure veldt
#

Than your normal

pure veldt
rustic geode
#

Calorie deficit

pure veldt
#

So 2600-2700

#

Like I said

#

Take 30gs from protein

#

And add them to the carbs

pure veldt
#

Any kind of them

#

Tricep pushdowns

rustic geode
#

I will think getting bulking soon

#

There’s no harm in getting more proteins intake right?

pure veldt
#

I mean

#

There was a day I took 300gs of protein

#

My kidneys were hurting for like 3 or 4 days

rustic geode
#

Oh…

#

So I should focus that has more carb and fat and little protein to hit the intake?

#

100g probably safe for me

pure veldt
#

I told you a split of macros

so this calculator is isn't really accurate lol

pure veldt
#

Yuh

rustic geode
#

i always get 9% to 10% in other calculator sites

pure veldt
#

It's not smth you can calculate like that

#

I look better now at 20% than what I ever looked at 16%

#

Or even when I was 15%

#

This was then I was just fat

#

No gym whatsoever

#

I was 26% BF

rustic geode
#

me i was 30% -35% bf before i started gym

Was trying to cut a bit but kinda difficult living on a college campus

pure veldt
#

Cut is not worth it rn

lavish dew
#

My main issue rn is that I am fairly strong, just my physique doesn’t really reflect it

pure veldt
lavish dew
#

Yeah, wouldn’t cutting now improve the physique tho?

pure veldt
#

to have a good cut

#

you kinda need to have good muscle

#

or like a lot of muscle

#

I won't be cutting untill I am 220lbs minimum

#

and I'm 5'10

#

Bulk then cut is the usual go to formula yes?

pliant copper
#

its the easier formula. Clean bulking is very hard to do

limber grail
#

You can build on a cut just harder

pure veldt
#

it's just less fun

pure veldt
#

main gain is hard

#

but that's what I like to do if I don't have a lot of fat

pure veldt
#

Deload week 😎

civic edge
# pure veldt it's not hard

You and I have different definitions of hard lol. 14 weeks of 3900kcals and 350+ grams of protein a day eating only chicken breast and thigh with white rice and broccoli made me swear off chicken for months.

pure veldt
#

Specially in a bulk

civic edge
#

There is if you're 240? 1.5g/lb of bodweight at 240 lbs

pure veldt
#

in a bulk you should eat less

#

1.5g/lb is way too much

#

in a bulk is 0.8-1.2g/lb

#

How much protein should you eat per day for muscle growth? How much protein for fat loss? How much protein for recomp? How much protein can you absorb in one meal? Is a high protein diet safe? Does post-workout protein matter? What are the best sources of protein?

not eating like that i went from 80kgs to 90kgs (180lbs to 200lbs) in a month, building muscle and mantaining body fat

#

not eating like that

#

just eating wtv I wanted and just hitting protein goals

civic edge
#

🤷‍♂️ Different strokes for different folks. I've adapted a bit but have gone through a few bulks and the two that were higher protein (1.4-1.5g / lb) with remaining calories in a 50/50 split between fat and carbs were quantitatively better for strength and lean mass gains. I don't like doing them, because force-feeding yourself that many calories clean is hard.

is is creatine and electrolytes same thing?

Creatine is smth that retains water inside of your muscles

#

Electrolytes make you feel more hydrated

pure veldt
hollow dirge
#

True, and the reason why electrolyte supplements have salt and not much of the other electrolytes is because when you sweat, mainly salt is lost and not much of magnesium, potassium, and others are lost when sweating

#

The one I have has a lot of potassium and magnesium but not a lot of salt, so I just add salt on my own and take as needed

#

Im having a strange feeling for a couple weeks when doing my seated leg press. I go as deep as I can but on some reps I feel some pinch feeling or like something gets caught onto something else in my right glute when I go deep. When I squat, nothing and when I do my walking lunges, nothing as well

#

And its not on every rep either

#

I cant really find what im looking for online but maybe I have a tight piriformis? I did have some tight psoas that lagged behind my legs that were causing some knee discomfort and been fine ever since I did some kettlebell raises

#

I think I have some other imbalance perhaps

#

Because there is no pain, just a weird feeling when I go really deep on the narrow stance I take when pressing

pure veldt
#

And position

#

It can be the you're starting to go deep but going way too deep and starting to use the lower back

#

And with that you can be slightly more offset to the right or left

mild weight gain

damm i just eat total 1800+ cal 144p and 171+ carbs in just 2 meal today and it makes me full already can't eat anymore

so the important just to hit protein intake and carbs and forget the amount of calories i consume?

#

Having a cheat day on a diet is incredibly important for a lot of people tbh, because it helps a bit with motivation

#

Generally have one day of the week you dont work on as your cheat days and certain holidays as cheat days, and keep the rest to your regular diet

rustic geode
#

I do cheat meal every other week sometimes a month

pure veldt
#

I eat wtv tf I want

#

As long as you feel okay

#

Eat accordingly

#

And hit maxes, macros

rustic geode
#

As long I hit protein and carb intake?

pure veldt
#

And get the calories

pure veldt
#

Today I ate burger King

rustic geode
#

Right no ow I can only manage 1900-2000 cal

pure veldt

Yesterday got me some pancakes

With chocolate

Damm I avoid inflammatory foods cause it’s too sensitive for my acne

pure veldt
#

Crepes

#

With chocolate

#

Lasagna

And eggs

Got less than my normal intake

That would be around 3.4-3.5k calories

pure veldt

Next week I will eat burger and pizza

A McDonald's and a family size pizza

pure veldt

Full toppings even

rustic geode
#

I don’t wanna go dirty bulking

pure veldt
#

It's wtv

#

Dirty or clean bulking

#

They will give you the same results

#

The cut will be more or less the same time

#

1 week more, 1 week and a half more if you're bulking

#

But if you're cutting for 2 months or 3

#

It ain't nothing

rustic geode
#

🤔

#

I will think about it

pure veldt
#

It gets harder to lose fat the leaner you are

limber grail
prime rune
#

Why would u eat fattier foods

#

Wouldn't u want maximum calories and more protein

#

Cause aren't u still tryna maintain a healthy body regardless of if ur bulking that gained weight should still be mixed with muscle

#

Or am I wrong?

pure veldt
#

You want calories and balance between fat, carbs and protein

#

Fats are needed not only to have a balanced environment

#

But also cuz they are the one thing that makes you feel full

#

Also

#

If you eat pure protein

#

And eat 200gs daily

#

That's 800cals

#

If you add 450gs of carbs

#

That's 2600 calories

#

For someone that is doing exercise regularly and that needs 200gs of protein, so around 200lbs of lean mass

#

That's still around 600-700 calories deficit

#

So for someone that is that big to do main gain

#

You'd need 3200 calories

#

With the values I gave you

#

200gs protein, 450gs carbs, 60gs of fat and 40gs of fiber

#

This is using the normal values for nutrition:
1g protein, carbs ≈ 4 cals
1g of fat ≈ 8 cals
1g of fiber ≈ 3 cals

#

The value of the maintenance was given using me as a base, I'm 200lbs, and my maintenance is around 2.8k calories

#

Which is pretty average

rustic geode
#

this is what i am following rn

#

or should i just customise it

#

I am 85 rn pounds and i multiplied protein by 1.2

#

I am currently eating 140+ proteins and 300+ carbs everyday

#

starting 3 days ago

#

i dont count how mnay fats i eat

#

or even the calories

limber grail
#

Also fat is very important for hormone regulation

rustic geode
#

what you guys think should i follow with high protein 143+ and 300+ carbs or should i do with the 2nd one

pure veldt
#

I think the second one is sligthly better

rustic geode
#

i did 4 times already on first one

#

i guess i gotta switch

pure veldt
#

in a bulk

#

carbs are slightly more important

#

so you can have better workouts

rustic geode
#

yea thats what i am doing rn focusing carbs

#

and hit protein intake

#

and i dont counts fats and caloriess

#

for now

#

oh wait also fiber i guess idk how much fiber should i hit

#

30 is enough?

#

or more

pure veldt
#

Idc about fiber tbh

rustic geode
#

isnt that fiber also important to hit intake?\

#

hmmm i guess i will also forget counting fiber

limber grail
pure veldt
#

If you have to eat a lot of things

#

Fiber isn't really helpful

#

And it will make your poop stinks more than what it already does

#

😭😭😭

#

And if you're eating fat, it will make you feel full aswell

#

However, it's still pretty important to make your digestive system work as it should

limber grail
#

Oh yeah but you should be able to get enough fibre in from your food

Try to lower your reps and increase the weight

my calc says 1755 ml i think its to little for me 🤔

i guess i gotta stick with it

rustic geode

i will drink my most water during my workout days then..

pure veldt
#

You're as heavy as a feather

#

Ofc you need less water

The standard is calculated in a person that weighs around 60-70kgs

#

And that don't workout

rustic geode

Damm that’s hurt my feelings when you said I am small 🥲😅😆

#

Helps increasing the weight u can pull up

#

Holding the bar like this with both hands facing different directions also helps with grip and increasing weight

#

Idk the science behind it though

civic edge
#

Simple analogy on this, think of your hands like ramps. If you have two ramps and you put the bar on it, the bar will want to roll down the ramps. If you face the ramps in opposite directions to each other, the bar (in this simple analogy) will mostly stay in the same place. You have to be careful if you start getting into heavier weight using over-under though. The arm that's under (palm facing up, left arm in your picture) has a higher chance of tearing a bicep.

#

Eh fair, gloves do def help with grip and calices though

pure veldt
#

The ones I have rn don't really work

pure veldt

Since it's just that it uses the glove to extend your hand when the grip misses

limber grail

Hows it fake, stop your hands from slipping that's better grip

pure veldt

But the ones I had before that weren't from silk

Maybe your hands don't get nearly as sweaty as mine but my grip is way better with the gloves halfway through my set especially when I'd have to wipe off my hands usually

#

Silk??

Why silk

pure veldt

Cuz they were the 1st ones to appear after I lost the other ones

And it was 2€

#

Absolutely everyone should work out however they want to work out, but, I'll never go back to deadlifting without straps after I get past warmups. Once your body starts becoming capable of moving heavy weight, your left with either learning to hook-grip (pain, absolute torture), go over-under (I like my biceps and I'm not competing in a tourney) or use straps.

#

But also don't sleep on grip training. Stronger hands have carry over in a lot of pull exercises but also pressing.

#

Then buy a grip strength reader off Amazon for like 30 bucks and flex on your friends when your grip is 40+ lbs stronger than theirs.

When you can flex your back being just bigger
