what does your routine & exercises look like for a week?
honest plank
Idk I looked at a video for HIIT today and I decided to do HIIT today
Ive never done HIIT before but I've heard of it
I used to have like a weird ppl split where I hit two of the ppl, so e.g. one day would be push and pull, other day would be push and leg, etc
honest plank
I did strong lifts to start with that was my intro
pastel willow
ez upper, lower and repeat
honest plank
And then I did some bodyweight only exercise because COVID happened and I didn't buy a weight set
Like the one from Reddit calisthenics or something
And then I did some exercise that was a modified strong lifts but instead of pendlays you do yates rows and you add bicep curls and pullups/chinups
honest plank
that is way to complex for me brain
It's rpetty easy if you just write down a routine and just follow whatever that routine is
Tbh PHUL is about as complicated as that weird ppl routine I made up because it has 4 different days
pastel willow
It's rpetty easy if you just write down a routine and just follow whatever that ...
yeah
maybe i need to carry a book to the jim🤓
actually rob recommended an app
maybe i will try that
pastel willow
Tbh PHUL is about as complicated as that weird ppl routine I made up because it ...
lol
honest plank
You need to record the last weight you lifted on each type of exercise, the number of reps & sets etc
That's how you can actually properly do progressive overload
That said when I started lifting again a few months ago I didn't do that so rip
simple kelp
reading jim book inbetween sets <:lmaoCry:1048777734706434058>
I read discord instead
Aka shitpost

anyone here like to work out one body part over another?
i love working out lower than upper
idk how to enjoy doing chest, biceps
outer smelt

Checked out RepCount
it’s a free app
it’s great for recording workouts, very helpful for measuring progressive overload
it’ll show you previous rep count, weight, and notes for a previous exercise

but it will only be effective if the gym is huge
simple kelp
pastel willow
ohhh okay
honest plank
You load it high
And you can also just rotate pushing and then pulling
But idk I never tried
pastel willow
interesting
would this be considered functional training?
instead of like body building training?
honest plank
There's a few competitions for this
honest plank
i mean it looks like something you would do irl
Theoretically so is a dealift
pastel willow
i mean it looks like something you would do irl
which fits the definition of functional

I wore like the dojo t shirt once and then some random dude at a store was like "you know sensei X?" (x being the guy that left)

Vietnam and Korea actually don't have a super long history of martial arts, I think like taekwondo and vo Vietnam (the Vietnamese martial art) were made in the 1900s

of joining martial arts
They don't have you spar for a while
Well actually it depends on the school
At the mcdojos they probably won't have you spar for a while
pastel willow
yeah i would like to go easy lmao
honest plank
But yeah I actually don't know how to get into martial arts as an adult tho
pastel willow
lol
yeah as a kid I think a ton of my friends did martial arts
karate
i did soccer
honest plank
They also made me memorize random trivia like how the nunchuks are from Okinawa and they're a farming tool to hand mill rice or something
pastel willow
honest plank
Tbh most of my martial arts knowledge comes from manga at this point
pastel willow
maybe to spread the culture
honest plank
Oh yeah also from Kung Fu Panda
Dude each of the three moviez represents a different aspect of the self you're supposed to master
Body, mind, and heart
And this is like a legit Kung Fu/Karate thing not something DreamWorks made up
Anyway I'm ranting about random stuff now
onyx flint
It is still body building
Nah sleds are def a strongman exercise

Strongman is all about feats of strength that are mostly mass based

it took me 2 days to finish this
chest 2 day
btw, what upper body muscles should I focus to look bigger?
traps, shoulders & chest in that order right?
pastel willow
and it doesnt matter if I do barbell or dumbells right?
as long as its the same weight
I love barbell
yeah i like smith too
i dont have to worry about my arm trajectory in smith tbh
just my upper chest form
pastel willow
BUT I WANT 1 SEX PLEASE
any muscle I should give preference to?
like shoulders over pecs, etc?
honest plank
as long as its the same weight
Dumbbells better for balance
You will lift lower weight tho
I also have scoliosis tho so
honest plank
i dont have to worry about my arm trajectory in smith tbh<:WazowskiStare:7529432...
Smith bad because part of the work is stabilizing the weight + idk the angle is not straight up for bench
pastel willow
Smith bad because part of the work is stabilizing the weight + idk the angle is ...
thats fine bc i do incline chest press anyways
honest plank
You should aim to have a balanced physique usually
pastel willow
Dumbbells better for balance
this i agree
honest plank
To look good
pastel willow
the issue is my arm is too fucking weak
i broke my arm twice and i cant lift super high weights
i feel with barbell atleast the weight gets distributed well
dumbell the weight is too concentrated on my wrists
honest plank
Might be ur grip idk
pastel willow
honest plank
You might be bending it a bit
pastel willow
im still new, u might be right
honest plank
I don't have that issue at keast
pastel willow
skill issue

Dumbbell setup is harder so maybe it's the setup

Dumbbell setup is harder so maybe it's the setup

Dumbbells I lift like 80% of my barbell
pastel willow

I think mainly because failure is scary cuz I have the adjustable ones that can get damaged if I drop them
pastel willow
Ohhh so dumbell is holding u back?
pastel willow
I think mainly because failure is scary cuz I have the adjustable ones that can ...
okay
honest plank
That's supposed to happen, everyone lifts lighter on dumbell
pastel willow
another reason to go with barbell
honest plank
But I was saying I should still be able to lift more
pastel willow
but u right i should practice more with dumbell too
stabalizing is imp
i do squats on barbell without the smith machine
i only do chest press on smith
honest plank
This is to hopefully help my very minor knee pain
But yeah kotg
Apparently all the knee science doesn't exist and if u have knee pain ur just fucked
But then some guy decided to invent a training program to increase flexibility in the legs and train the tibialis anterior
honest plank
Anyway, basically no other place has clear information on what exercises you can do to address knee pain and there are very few studies on which exercises are good for knee pain
onyx flint
btw, what upper body muscles should I focus to look bigger?
Upper back
pastel willow
Upper back
so delts and lats
Just realized the prog I follow only has 1 exercise for delts
old parrot
i dont have to worry about my arm trajectory in smith tbh<:WazowskiStare:7529432...
Use flat machine press
It’s goated
it stablizes and guarantees the arm path for me

It’s the best way
pastel willow
im too new to make my own prog

working out and stuff won’t burn nearly as much as people think
simple kelp
ya 90% of it is eating/diet

the best way is to track caloric intake and maintain a deficit
honest plank
I was so happy when I lost my first like 20 lbs
I used to keep a basic food journal and write in red "bad" foods like ice cream and stuff and in green "good" foods like chicken breast and protein shakes and stuff
And if you just avoid the scary red it works pretty well
But I stopped doing that so much

so how often yall do cheat days during calorie deficit?

The reason to stay on a program is because there's a clear strategy to progressively overload and you can track progress clearly

10% of the weight
If your one rep max is 100lb you lift 10lbs

how do you figure out your RM?

40+45 right?
idk what u mean by 40+45

The bar is 45lbs
honest plank
You should count bar weight
pastel willow
ohhh okay
honest plank
These % stuff also count bar weight
honest plank
You hear like 135 225 315 because usually the biggest plate is 45lbs, you get one plate each side so it's 90, so 135 is 1plate on each side, 225 is 2, etc

I got the Fitbit inspire 2 I think and it does exactly that
tracks sleep, heart rate, steps, carlories burned and has a 10 day life cycle
for only $50
Apple Watch is fucking expensive

I do know apple has the best tracking for heart rate at the higher end hands down but I'm just tracking for trends at resting @old parrot

yeah for sure, it’s probably more accurate, but tbh it’s not like a Fitbit is off by anything signifanant
the calorie burned tracking is pretty bad though
It seems like Sleep is super accurate

still front squat typically makes you rotate forward
back squat / deadlift is more on your heels so it's more fine

50 pounds down, 63 days
You're losing a lot of weight Monti, about 1lb/day. That's really good but maybe slow it down for the rest of the few weeks. It'll be easier for you to build muscle and retain your physique for longer that way
fleet stump
I’m too low calorie to do muscle building
Yeah I'm saying up the calories, mostly in protein
And throw in a weight lifting program
Take some creatine, throw in a couple of recovery related vitamins in there and overall aim for just 1lb a week of loss in weight
Remember, how long you lose weight is arbitrary so as long as your weight is going down
Personally if I was doing a cut like you in 16 weeks, I'd aim for maybe 20-30 lbs in total but you're on week 9 and have already lost 50 lbs. Thats fucking great man, just worried you might relapse and gain it all back

i feel u, im prob not going to slow down. im on a roll and i really cant stop now. on week 7 i had 3 cheat meals and i slowed down to only losing less than a pound

6 times a day
3 hours between each fueling

You eat 6 times a day? .-. I guess that's one way to satiety down
I know you're on a roll Monti and usually people are for protracted periods of time. It's just that statistically, you are just really likely to get all your weight back. Beating odds is nice and I know you've done that in your personal life, but even if you do lose all the weight it's not gonna be good once you crack 300lbs. The amount of weight you'll lose will decrease, which will make you want to eat less and less. That's not healthy
What's your plan after week 16, to get it all back?

So about 170g of protein on top of this, along with some fat nice. Okay that's good! I'd say that's a little under what you should be eating according to your weight but it beats eating only whatever the fuck this fuel is lol
I'd say cut the "fueling" you're taking... The vitamin quantities are too low, even in large amounts. Also it's kinda sussy since they don't tell you what type of vitamin they are. For example, is the vitamin D D3? Is vitamin C ascorbic acid? Etc
The protein:carb: fat ratio for this meal is kinda bad too. You're eating more carbs than protein. It's also kind of a lot. 550 calories can easily be eaten with more protein and better satiety in the form of a regular meal

Hmm that's good actually. It says that sodium is 220g per serving so you consume about 1100g of sodium a day? Are you sweating a lot via exercise to warrant that much sodium intake? The same goes for calcium and potassium which are also electrolytes. Theyre about 1k a day as well
I'm surprised you're not feeling bloated or fatigued everyday
You're basically eating 5 mutant bananas topped with salt every day
Anyway Monti hope you find my advice helpful. Feel free to keep up the journey, but just be a bit more careful and mindful of what you're consuming into/doing to your body

Spending some time with a body building workout will retain more muscle Monti. You can also effectively recomp your fat, since your body has more than enough storage to both burn for muscle AND lose weight

try keto and weights... this is perfect decreasing fat without losing muscle mass
also no running at that weight.. that's a really good way to grind down your knees (which will be detrimental for when you get older)
honest plank
Don't know about Monti's specific goals besides weight loss so I'm not sure if he wants to build muscle, everyone here is just gym goers so we're biased towards that
Is 50k steps jogging or walking? I thought it was just walking. Also 50k is a lot more than I thought, like 20 miles+ dang
onyx flint
I think building a base layer of muscle makes sense because it’ll help support his weight and make it easier to burn calories no?
honest plank
No matter how well you're doing you can always do more, for me I think it's extremely impressive that he's losing the weight and what he's currently doing is working and he should continue doing it until he reaches his weight goals. I don't think you need to minmax and do whatever is technically more optimal or whatever and you can just focus on one thing at a time so you don't get overwhelmed
Like I don't see any big issue with what Monti is doing right now (I've expressed the two smaller things I was worried about, stretch marks/loose skin and sustainability, and he's aware of them) so I don't see a big need to suggest him to do something else
