Bye

I’m eat some low cal ice cream

[silent knot]

whoa

🔥 keep it up bro

and here i am, my pull strength is so weaker than push strength

i dont have a pull up bar

[icy pasture]

uhh

I do pushups?

[onyx hearth]

Yes

[empty matrix]

I need some tips on how to do pushups properly because I can only do pushups on benches

[onyx hearth]

Just keep going till failure and take good rest, people over look rest and overtrain which puts them back. After you can hit like 30 easy incline push ups you should be able to do a few normal ones

[empty matrix]

Thank you

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to hawk_js!

[onyx hearth]

np

[silent knot]

do those incline, but i would also suggest you one technique. On the floor, from normal pushup form, go down slowly, and then instead of pushing back (which seems impossible for u right now) use your knees to push up (like knee pushup) and then repeat. The going down part should not be with knees. So its like half way normal pushup and halfay knee pushup.

But beware of the form when pushing back. If even with knees ur form is not solid, then incline is best

[empty matrix]

Okay thank you so much

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to wild_life_a_bygone_dream123!

[silent knot]

np, do please let me know your progress tho 🔥

we partiyin if u hit one normal pushup, u know like the confidence just boosts from there onwards

[empty matrix]

Lol thank youu

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to wild_life_a_bygone_dream123!

[serene marlin]

If you have resistance bands, I'd recommend using them to slowly develop more relative strength and to fix any mistakes in your form

Emphasis proper form and try to perform partial pushups throughout the day

Your body will notice the change in your habits and adapt

Additionally, try to set deadlines for new milestones as it will condition you to consistently pursue it

Good luck, pushups open many new paths to developing strength

[empty matrix]

Thank you y’all are so sweet

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to tyutalal!

[woeful acorn]

how do you do push ups on a bench??

[tough turtle]

usual position but inclined just by holding onto a bench seat?

[woeful acorn]

Oh yeah that works

[tough turtle]

but the problem i face during push ups that kind of sets me back is breathing

i just lose my breath frequently

since am kind of a noob at push ups, i just do inclined and knee push ups but breathing difficulty is my only enemy even tho i have no such lung issues or smth

[woeful acorn]

ig try intensive cardio?

[serene marlin]

Never hold your breath when exercising. Inhale on decline and exhale on recline

It takes a week or two to adjust so don't worry

Do both low and high intensity cardio once a week to learn the rhythm

Purchase a jumping rope if possible. they're very fun and force you to adapt

[tough turtle]

o aight, annd dumb question but what are the best workouts for low and high intensity cardio?

[serene marlin]

jogging for low and sprints for high

though train anearobic exercises like high sprints and swimming

since that is what youll need for bodyweight exercises

[tough turtle]

O alright thankies!

[woeful acorn]

Funny thing, i often lose track of my number of reps if i focus on my breathing

[silent knot]

just count one pair of inhale and exhale as one. Like decline (inhale), recline (exhale), count one. I mean once u do it it will be automatic

idk about the breathing system, take the one that suits you the most, whether to exhale on decline or recline

[onyx hearth]

go till failure

[serene marlin]

Try and sound out the number throughout the motion

In your head of course

But if you're going for high reps(30+) just use a timer and do as much as possible

Numbers limit you anyways

[peak valley]

Ive seen way to many people who hold their breath while doing push ups

Even on benches

So you've gotta control your breathing

[tawdry radish]

During workout I lose my breathe and get dizzy even tho I hold my breathe for 7 sec during workout. Is this hydration or I need to focus on breathing exercises?

And I have a high blood pressure... is cardio good for my health?

[fair hedge]

consult with a doctor is probably the best option, considering your high bp

[tawdry radish]

I went to the doctor and the doctor told me I'm too young for the medicines so i should work out to keep it balanced

[fair hedge]

oh

ok

[idle hound]

anemia

[tawdry radish]

damn ig it might be due to folic acid deficiency or iron deficiency

i do have iron deficiency

[idle hound]

exactly

[serene marlin]

You should avoid heavy workouts if you have iron defiency

Work on fixing that immediately along with any other defiency

[onyx hearth]

be REALLY careful if you're lifting heavy

you can easily get nose bleeds and pass out and passing out in a gym is too fucking dangerous whether you are in the middle of a lift or not, even after lifting a gym is not a place you want to fall at because of the hard surfaces everywhere and the awkward designs of the machines

[lone vector]

why does no one talk here

[dull otter]

s?channel

[woeful acorn]

how do i go stronger but also leaner at the same time

im already down about 5, around 10 more kg to go

but i dont think im becoming any stronger

[wet dove]

not possible unless youre very careful about it

they are contradictory

to get stronger you need to eat above maintenance

to get leaner you need to eat below maintenance

when youre shredding you have to focus on maintaining strength

not gaining

[lone vector]

Sorry I just saw this

[lone vector]

How old are you and whats your weight

Remember becoming stronger has nothing to do with aesthetics

U have to be willing to sacrifice one

[versed kettle]

[cobalt kettle]

not necessarily

[strong cobalt]

Recent backyard ultra in Islamabad:

That's 35 hours of running

35 loops, 35 hours, ~6km per loop

1 loop per hour, any extra time you have left in the hour is for rest. when the next hour starts, you run

last one standing wins

will participate next year

[cobalt kettle]

i hate cardio

[strong cobalt]

Started calisthenics today. Did my first exercise of the easiest variations of each exercise. God it has humbled me. I will update weekly.

[strong cobalt]

btw is it normal for my arms to be really shaky 😭

like powerful shaky

on the second set

[onyx hearth]

real core

[onyx hearth]

yo CNS prolly ain't ready for such a relatively large load

try to do a smaller progression

if they still shaky do sum isometrics with more load on an easier variation then do a harder variation with jus yo bw

In powerlifting it's much easier to do this but you'll have to be more careful with cali

[strong cobalt]

i did the easiest thing ever 😭 50 wall pushups. made sure to have good form so it's not that

[onyx hearth]

dang

lower reps fr this ain't cardio

[strong cobalt]

weak asf

[strong cobalt]

alrighty :(

I kinda just did as many as i could, pushing myself

[onyx hearth]

naw

[strong cobalt]

ill do 40 next set

[onyx hearth]

oh

[fair hedge]

😭😭

no disrespect @cobalt kettle you can squat more than me

[onyx hearth]

yea

[pure lotus]

is my calves and legs hurting while jumping and running normal?

[fair hedge]

yeah just drink more water

calves r probably cramping

[pure lotus]

also sometimes the front part of the leg for some reason

[jade monolith]

Warm up properly

Stretch a bit, warm up your joints, do some jumping squats and lunges, warm up your hip flexors,

[jade monolith]

Do tibialis raises with the lying ham curl machine, or the quad extension

[pure lotus]

ahh alr thanks

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to _abdullah7916!

[pure lotus]

sometimes the quad extensions hurt

[jade monolith]

On ur knee?

[pure lotus]

yeah

[jade monolith]

If its the muscle, or like it's just the muscle burning when you go to failure ig just bear it, if its the joint(which happened to me before)

Just try doing reverse Nordics (partials)

They make a huge difference trust me

[pure lotus]

i feel like i might be going crazy but it feels like the lower bone in my leg hurts

the front part

[jade monolith]

Ur shin?

Which part exactly

[pure lotus]

yeah the front part

[lime moon]

@cobalt kettle I had a few doubts before starting my exercises

[cobalt kettle]

go on

[lime moon]

First of all I am confused whether I should be doing calisthenics or doing gym

[cobalt kettle]

i do both

it depends

1. how old are you
2. how long have you been lifting/doing physical exercise
3. what are your goals
4. height and weight

[lime moon]

Oh, but thats great

[cobalt kettle]

and whats your height adn weight

[lime moon]

I am 16 year old

[cobalt kettle]

it depends on that as well

[lime moon]

Idk how to put this

[cobalt kettle]

^

[lime moon]

When I was like 11-12 year old I was weighing 56 kg

But now I am 62 kg because I exercised and got myself involved in sports

[cobalt kettle]

Height?

[lime moon]

I am 5,7 1/2

[cobalt kettle]

Your weight is healthy then

Ok answer the rest

So I can get a better idea

what are your goals

[lime moon]

Yeah, I managed to do it because of exercise

I have been exercising for 1-2 years

But not consistently

[vagrant urchin]

oh nicee

[lime moon]

I have my boards this year, as of now my main focus is study, but I am getting heavy again, so I want to prevent it

[vagrant urchin]

Just go on walks

Its fun its a break and its excercise

[cobalt kettle]

Man im not gonna lie I dont get this mentality of "i cant go to the gym because of a level / igcses" I literally keep going to the gym 4 days a week through all my exams and Im a straight A and A* student

but ig ye fair enough if you cant manage a good work life balance

[vagrant urchin]

Me too

[vagrant urchin]

some people need to study alot of smth

[lime moon]

My main goal is to get fit and do activities like hand stand and pull ups efficiently

[vagrant urchin]

they dont have good time managment

[cobalt kettle]

Well then the answer is simple, you focus on calisthenics

[lime moon]

My schedule is weird

[vagrant urchin]

how old are you??

[cobalt kettle]

Weights wont help you do that

[lime moon]

16

[nocturne turtle]

i feel like im pretty averagly sized for my weight!

[lime moon]

Yeah I thought so

[vagrant urchin]

tho doing calesthenics with weights is a faster way to get stronger

[cobalt kettle]

Yes

Weighted calisthenics is good

[vagrant urchin]

yoo nice

[cobalt kettle]

I do weighted pull ups

and ring push ups

tho its been a minute

[lime moon]

But how is bodybuilding different than calisthenics apart from the core strength

[vagrant urchin]

Im like 5'6 and 60kgs but ive got great legs and arms (shitty back)

[lime moon]

How old are you

[nocturne turtle]

i'm 5'2, and i'm 45 kgs!!

[vagrant urchin]

My triceps and backs dont exist pretty much

[vagrant urchin]

15

[vagrant urchin]

Yo thats not bad at all

how much do you lift?

[nocturne turtle]

i've got pretty nice arms and nice back too!

[lime moon]

My school gets over at 4:30. I have classes at 5:30 which last till 8:30-9

[cobalt kettle]

Idk where you got core strenght from they both require core strength to a good degree

Bodybuilders do calisthenics, calisthenics is just a tool to do physical exercise, it means to move your body through space.

[lime moon]

Idk some random ahh person told me this

[vagrant urchin]

Yoo thats nice ive got no back 😭

But ive got very strong legs

cuz i used to play alot of football

[nocturne turtle]

on average 20kgs, but i can't do much more omg.. 😭😭

[vagrant urchin]

go early morning or late at night

[nocturne turtle]

i try my hardest

[cobalt kettle]

The way you train for bodybuilding through calisthenics is different from a way you'd train calisthenics if you are training to learn skills like handstands and etc @lime moon

[lime moon]

My legs are quite strong as well

[vagrant urchin]

thats good how longhave you been doing this ofr

[lime moon]

How similar are we

[nocturne turtle]

like a few months? 3 perhaps?

[lime moon]

Alr

[vagrant urchin]

Thats good then

[vagrant urchin]

very somehow

[nocturne turtle]

im at my goal already so most of the time i just do cardio.

[vagrant urchin]

Oh thats great then

[cobalt kettle]

That's healthy :) lowk Im very happy to see girls getting fit bec a lot of girls I meet got a problem with undereating like crazy

[vagrant urchin]

I didnt start lifting much for quite some time

[lime moon]

So what should I focus like what reps, exercise and all

[vagrant urchin]

it takes along time

[vagrant urchin]

I agree

[lime moon]

How old are you?

[nocturne turtle]

my trainer askd me to!!

[vagrant urchin]

I used to be super super fat so i used to do so much cardio

[nocturne turtle]

i'm 15!

[vagrant urchin]

I dislike it now

[lime moon]

Damn, nice

[vagrant urchin]

Mine did not i started cuz i became almost morbidly obese

[nocturne turtle]

ohh! i'm very happy to see ur fit now ❤️

[cobalt kettle]

I could talk to you for hours about how to train for calisthenics skills but I do not have the time

The way to train for calisthenics skills is slightly different from conventional training

[lime moon]

Haha, I weighed 56 kgs at the age of 11-12 year

[cobalt kettle]

Ill send you a video you can watch instead

[lime moon]

I have done so many things.

[vagrant urchin]

ty

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to ad4tiii_!

[lime moon]

I can do a handstand partially

[vagrant urchin]

I used to weigh like 67 kgs, 4'9 at the age of 11 i think

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNz0DfV_Ee4

Watch videos by fitnessfaqs

[vagrant urchin]

calisthenics is very aesthetic tbf

[lime moon]

I am inhabituated so my core takes a lot pressure then

[cobalt kettle]

He'll teach you the proper training methods for learning skills

[vagrant urchin]

Its good mobility

[lime moon]

Alr, I'll look it up once

[cobalt kettle]

Saturno movement is good asw

[cobalt kettle]

This video is a masterclass

[lime moon]

And what about footwork, how does that word?

[vagrant urchin]

anzar how much do you lift man?

[cobalt kettle]

No clue wym by footwork

[vagrant urchin]

boxing or smth?

[cobalt kettle]

On what lift

[lime moon]

Not necessarily

[cobalt kettle]

"Footwork" is a very wide term

it can mean anything

[vagrant urchin]

bench and deadlift

[cobalt kettle]

so be specific

lol

[cobalt kettle]

I fuckng hate the deadlift

I never deadlift

Fuck that

lo

[lime moon]

Footwork can be a way to make your leg movement quick

[vagrant urchin]

wild 💀

squat?

[lime moon]

Why?

[cobalt kettle]

I love squatting

[cobalt kettle]

I dont like it

[vagrant urchin]

me tooo

[cobalt kettle]

I can squat like 90 kilos for reps

[vagrant urchin]

ME TOO

I cant deadlift more than 100 tho

Oh yeah my deadlift is like something 120

[vagrant urchin]

😭

[cobalt kettle]

Last time I checked a tleast

[vagrant urchin]

I think mines a little worse

ive got a weak chest

[cobalt kettle]

Its funny because my chest is the most develope don my body

But Im weak at bench

[vagrant urchin]

damn thats crazy

[lime moon]

Its my lower body which is the best

[vagrant urchin]

i still have a bit of gyno im tryna get rid of

[cobalt kettle]

I dont think you can truly get rid of gyno

Without surgery

I mean you can minimize its appearance by getting jacked

then again some people think they have gyno but they dont

[lime moon]

Can burning fat by cardio help reduce the gyno?

[cobalt kettle]

trust me dude its not that great 😭 i have friends way stronger than me that put me to shame

[cobalt kettle]

Cardio doesnt "burn fat"
Eating in a caloric deficit is what makes you lose weight and fat

Gynocomoastia is a literal formation of breast tissue under your nipples it isnt fat

But some people who have fat breasts think they have it

[lime moon]

Well it is for me, maybe because I am a beginner. But having friends who help you get a reality check of your strength is serious friendship

The only thing my friends do is brainrot

[cobalt kettle]

Aye surround yourself with people who uplift you to improve

[lime moon]

ohh

[lime moon]

I can't change my school

And I can't refrain them also, they are my classmates

[lime palm]

this is why i started working out w my friend

[lime moon]

Ahh good ol geagle

[lime palm]

keeps me motivated asf

[lime moon]

Thats great, my friend does calisthenics

[vagrant urchin]

i wouldnt know but i'd rahter minimize it as much as i can rather than have it

[lime palm]

woah

[lime moon]

But he dropped out of it

[lime palm]

i highly doubt i could

[vagrant urchin]

Geagleee you got time to workout now?

[vagrant urchin]

noo i can do it

[lime palm]

yea

idt i could

but i havent hit squats in a bit

[vagrant urchin]

thats sad

whats your fav\

[lime palm]

fav legs is decline leg press

[vagrant urchin]

I max that one out

its chill

[lime moon]

Brown parent mentality about your study means you overshadow everything with study, that includes your calisthenics

[lime palm]

i hit around 220 kgs on it

for reps

[vagrant urchin]

nah my parents are not fond of working out but they tell me to cuz they dont want me to end up kike them

[vagrant urchin]

damn what 😭

strong ahh

[cobalt kettle]

I convinced my parents to construct a calisthenics gym on my room (dip and pull up bar station) and buy me gymnastic rings when I was training for cali

[lime palm]

got that fatass leg strength

[lime moon]

[patent flume]

bro how to bench 100

[cobalt kettle]

pounds or kg

nonetheless just progressively overload over time w good form

[patent flume]

kg lmao

i can do 100 pounds haha

[cobalt kettle]

lol

[patent flume]

does isolating tricpes and shoulders work because my chest is relatively stronger

[cobalt kettle]

"how to bench 100?" = train bench

your #1 focus should be to train bench

[patent flume]

ahh okk

fair

[cobalt kettle]

but you should do accessory movements asw

thats secondary

[patent flume]

hmm

[cobalt kettle]

triceps and shoulders are like accessory movements

i dont rlly train for powerlifting so im not too knowledgable abt how to max my bench out lol

i suggest watching videos on that

[patent flume]

yeah lol

[cobalt kettle]

from what i know what powerlifters do is

5x5 or 3x5

or 3x3

5x3

[patent flume]

i think after exams i'll have to start a lifting program

hmm i lift for more reps i might have to changethat

[patent flume]

What do you train for?

[cobalt kettle]

yeah to train for strength you need to train at a lower volume higher intensity

[patent flume]

Hmm

[cobalt kettle]

bodybuilding, i dont care at all abt strength or maxxing out tbh

[patent flume]

Fair enough

Even im training for hypertrophy atleast for upper body
But i want a certain benchmark amount of strength ykwim

[cobalt kettle]

ye for sure

for me i dont care if im as weak as a chihuaha

as long as im big lmao

[patent flume]

damn

on the bulk rn?

[cobalt kettle]

i have been for like a year u could say

[patent flume]

wow thats long

[cobalt kettle]

i used to be 60 kg now im 72 kg

[patent flume]

when does the cut start

[cobalt kettle]

im thinking after my A2 exams

ill start cutting

[patent flume]

wow im 64 but im neither able to cut or bulk its very stagnant

[patent flume]

ahh cool

[cobalt kettle]

how tall are you gang

[patent flume]

idk if i want to bulk or cut either haha

[patent flume]

6'1

[cobalt kettle]

dawg im 5'6 😭

[patent flume]

oh haha 😅

[cobalt kettle]

idk how you look but based off just the height and weight ratios id say u'd do good with more weight

lean bulking is the way to go

[patent flume]

I would...

[cobalt kettle]

besides

bulking = best way to gain strength and size

[patent flume]

Yeah thats what i cant loose athleticism yet

[patent flume]

Fr

Cut weakens you so bad

[mild estuary]

Tbh cutting first might be better cuz the second cut is amazing

[cobalt kettle]

i wouldnt think that way, it just depends where you are at

[mild estuary]

Ye

[hard thorn]

[slate acorn]

What are the side effects using Cretain ?

[onyx hearth]

manly mamme

[patent flume]

water retention

bloating

creatine?

[slate acorn]

Yes

[patent flume]

yes

[slate acorn]

I ain't a girl bruh

[patent flume]

bro thats bs

creatine has no effect on estrogen

[patent flume]

also even dudes produce estrogen wtf

[slate acorn]

Bro I am 100% Male

[patent flume]

creatine doesnt alter any hormone levels dw bro

[slate acorn]

Hmm

[patent flume]

uh estrogen is a hormone even dudes have some of it

like not much but slight

[slate acorn]

I think I am planning to avoid cretaine as far as possible

[patent flume]

how old are you

[slate acorn]

20

[patent flume]

and how often do you lift

[slate acorn]

I am newbie

[patent flume]

oh creatine should be fine

[patent flume]

i take that back maybe

6 months down the line

consider it

[slate acorn]

I think I will not use it

[patent flume]

rn just get regular with it

[patent flume]

thats fair even i havent till yet

[slate acorn]

Cuz I don't want any side effects

[patent flume]

right

you need to balance creatine

by drinking a lot of water

[slate acorn]

Homemade food is enough

[patent flume]

also it will result in weight gain and bloating so other aspects of ur diet need to be in place

[patent flume]

i disagree here

because everyone eats homemade food even a dude who isnt working out

ur nutritional needs are more than that of such an individual

[slate acorn]

Forgot to mention
I do intermediate fasting

[patent flume]

good for fat loss

but it might keep ur energy levels lower

when you lift

so not optimum for strength

[slate acorn]

I am not lifting any weights till I reach 22

[patent flume]

oh

how do you plan on doing it then?

[slate acorn]

Currently I planned for weight loss

[patent flume]

so cardio only?

[slate acorn]

Yes

[patent flume]

ah then creatine will suck for you

[slate acorn]

Not cardio

[patent flume]

can i suggest something?

[slate acorn]

No thanks

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to palaashg6640!

[patent flume]

okay fair

[slate acorn]

I don't wanna lose my mind with other suggestion

[slate acorn]

Sorry if I have been rude to you

[patent flume]

dont worry bro i understand

do what you wish to bro just do something

[patent flume]

all good

[slate acorn]

I mean I mostly avoid weight lifting till I reach 22 yrs old

I do biceps and triceps exercisee

Exercises*

Dumbbell is only for triceps

I have a workout plan

[cobalt kettle]

why

[slate acorn]

Mom and Dad told me not to do so I had no other choice to obey them

And I am a novice to gym

[cobalt kettle]

they probably have some misconception about weightlifting, which is sad, but ig you gotta put up with it. not judging you but usually at the age of 20 youre an adult and have some level of autonomy from your parents. again, idk your situation but damn they sound controlling 😭

id be so depressed if i was in your situation

also being a novice doesnt matter, you need to start somehow

[slate acorn]

Dude this is India and no matter what we need to listen to our parents no matter what till we get a job

[dull surge]

I want help for my business p2

[slate acorn]

Wrong channel mister

[cobalt kettle]

fair enough

anyways being fit isnt limited to the gym best of luck man

[slate acorn]

Thanks man

[lunar sparrow]

Gave +1 rep to iamanzar!

[slate acorn]

I think I have Shoulders today

Wednesday was soo hell

When I was doing the third rep of reverse bicep curl it was soo hell

[red knot]

Wise

Btw, all people who are having increased protien intake for gains. Please try to increase your fiber intake as well. Most recent teen cases are colon disorders due to high protien and low fiber.

A balanced diet is where it's at. Whenever you can, ingest nutrients through natural ways

Calorie deficit? A huge quantity of fruits will keep you full and help you hit your calorie count.

Better research and proper nutrition. And please do warmup 🙏🏼

[finite pollen]

@stiff cloak

[slate acorn]

@red knot wise words

[lucid ivy]

To add onto that, vegetables are the best source of fibre plus they have vitamins minerals and antioxidants. If you really want to up the fibre, psyllium husk in water is amazing however it's best to introduce it slowly in small quantities. Nuts and seeds are great as a snack.

[drowsy quail]

i can do a pushup finally
(am girl)

[versed kettle]

I got paki parents and started training at 14

Used to tell them I had extra schools classes and would go to the gym in my uniform after school

Sold candy to kids so i could earn enough money to pay for a membership

Bahahahahahahahahah

All parents are like this before you show any sort of results

3 and a half years later im jacked and my mom makes eggs and chicken for me sometimes

Youll get through it brother

[fair hedge]

damn entrepreneur

[fair hedge]

[kindred tangle]

Did you grow taller though ???

My mom is pressing me cause she says i wouldnt grow

I just need proof to tell her ts isnt real

But who knows it might be real

Matters on your answer

[versed kettle]

Had to do what I had to do

Had too pretty of a first gf to get fat

[versed kettle]

Hell yea brother

[fair hedge]

🙏🙏

[versed kettle]

I went from like 5’8 to 6ft 6ft 1 throughout my whole gym career

And i started going while i was still growing

Infact id argue gym gets you taller

Or if ur genetics arent made for it atleast youll be a jacked small dude

[kindred tangle]

My bros are tall so im chill

[versed kettle]

Trust me I had a friend who was way shorter than me but he used to bench two three plates in around 2 years into the gym

[kindred tangle]

Oh ye @versed kettle if im like 5'10 at 15 you think ill hit 6'3 ? (bro is 6'2)

[versed kettle]

Absolutely mogged me

[kindred tangle]

Shorter guys have crazy strenght

[versed kettle]

It genuinely depends on your genetics

My entire family is pretty short

[kindred tangle]

ooh

[versed kettle]

So are my grandparents

Idk what adoption centre they picked me ip from but i overlook everyone

[kindred tangle]

Whats the avg height in pakistan

[versed kettle]

[versed kettle]

Hmm prolly

Everyone isnt very tall here

[kindred tangle]

[versed kettle]

But height doesnt matter brother

Lol

[kindred tangle]

With dead hangs

When i got really into pullups i got into another growth spurt cause i used to hang off the bar to do pullups with like 30 kilos

[kindred tangle]

Kgs ye ?

[versed kettle]

Ofc

[kindred tangle]

But not going up cause i need a spot

[versed kettle]

Switch to bodybuilding

[kindred tangle]

[onyx hearth]

[finite root]

I heard its bad to use the treadmill after lifting
Is that true?

[still estuary]

As a person who rarely hits the gym, I can tell you no.

[finite root]

No its false
Or no its true ?
(Im sorry my brain is slow)

[still estuary]

Well baiscally yes and no

Yes it is false and No it isn't

[finite root]

Uhh

Okay

Huh

[still estuary]

If you want to build muscles it isn't preferable because it would make your muscles more fatigued and slow recovery

[still estuary]

I know I'm confusing but
It’s not bad , but if your goal is to gain muscle, keep post-lift treadmill short and light.
If your goal is fat loss or genral fitness, it’s fine.

[finite root]

I mean rn its the second ig

Do you think 30 minutes is alright?

Liie is it considered light cardio

[still estuary]

Yea same honestly

[still estuary]

AFTER Lifting?

YES

[finite root]

But if I do gain more muscle
Thats a huge bonus

[finite root]

Oh okii
Great
(I cant do more than 35 minutes after ligtijg anyway)

Lifting*

[still estuary]

That's great!

[finite root]

Yup!

[still estuary]

Good Luck!

[finite root]

Tyy
You too!

[still estuary]

No need!
I appreciate it!!

[jade monolith]

do calisthenics dawg

workout at home

genuinly

calisthenics can be exactly like weightlifting if you follow the progressions properly

i.e., a similar progressive overload(in form of reps id say), control the negative to be safe,

the only difference is tracking overload is a bit tougher cuz ur dealing with lower rep ranges, and form needs to be consistent but you can make it work

[versed kettle]

I do an hour

Depends on your deficit

Even if ur at maintenance or surplus its preferable for general cardiovascular health

Makes lifts go up and brace better

[finite root]

My deficit tells me
One hour would land me a disabled spot at the parking lot

[versed kettle]

If ur a beginner then i obv wouldnt recommend that

I do that cause im 4 weeks out

Its upto you whether u wanna do it or not

You could just lift

[finite root]

Hmm
Well i started lifting ealier this year
But I haven't been consistent with it
And for the tredmill
I started that a couple of months ago
But havent been consistent

[finite root]

I lack some equipment at home and
I cant go to the gym cus its reallly far
So if I judt lift
I feel like im not engaging oth3rs part of my body

Thats why I include the treadmill

[versed kettle]

Thats okay

First step is to simply enjoy doing it

Dont need to be consistent

Just try and do a bit more everyday

[versed kettle]

Well the treadmill doesnt directly build any muscle

It could be a catalyst to better muscle growth if paired with some sort of resistance training

But even a little bit of treadmill with a large deficit could make u lose muscle

So just get your diet in order first before thinking about cardio

[finite root]

Building muscle it not the top of my priority list atm
Its losing fat

[finite root]

Hmm
Good idea
Cus my diet is whatever my mom makes atm

[versed kettle]

Just eat around maintenance

Get alot of protein and carbs in

And reduce fat intake

So unnecessary oil or sauces

And do some treadmill

Low intensity

Thatll be enough

And drink a ton of water so fat cells become less dense and fill up with water

Youll become squishy for a while but ur body will be primed for fat loss

[finite root]

😭😭
Man in already squishy
But you sound like you know what youre talking about
So imma take your word for it lol

Im*

[peak valley]

ain't gonna lie, never really understood this part

cuz most of the "Extra" water you drink just gets passed through

[versed kettle]

cuz its not extra water

by a ton i mean 2 litres

[peak valley]

👍

[manic karma]

Hello

I’m just starting out tomorrow

Ive got skinny arms and chest but i got a massive vertical allowing my to barely dunk

I want to become stronger overall and improve my vertical

Any workout plan I could do?

[peak valley]

if you're just starting out I'd suggest you focus building your stamina first

There's no point if you're gonna be outta breath after pushing 2 sets of your 70% max
