| Can we PLEASE stop giving teenagers dietary advice? Posted: 25 Feb 2021 07:21 AM PST I know this isn't normally within the discussions allowed on this sub, but I really feel this needs to be said. I love this sub. I love the community and the fantastic advice that is given here. I love seeing people weigh in and help out beginners right the up to the very advanced who are getting stuck. The only problem I have with this sub is how we respond to teenagers. Can we please stop recommending they cut calories for the following reasons:
I am a teacher and the amount of full untouched lunches I see being disposed of after lunch is crazy. There is a worrying amount of kids not eating breakfast in the mornings. The worst part about all of this is society has us trained to look for these behaviours in teenage girls, but the boys are also avoiding/skipping meals at much (if not more often) from what I can see, and it seems (to me) to be based on ill-advised fitness trends. I have spoken to students of mine who have gotten intermittent fasting advice from Reddit and no longer eat until after the school day is completed. The reason I have found this out is because they were falling asleep in all of my classes. I know this advice is coming from a good place, but we need to realise teenagers don't always take the advice with a pinch of salt, and often take it to far more extremes than you would imagine. Many don't have the skills to research things themselves yet or make the best decisions for themselves. Many still believe that adults know it all, and they trust us. We need to be careful about what we say to them, and what guidance we give. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and good luck with your own training & goals. Edit: formatting Edit 2: I just wanted to add, there are some amazing responses to this in the comments (both those who agree and disagree). And many of you are right, there is also some fantastic dietary advice given. My concern was the over-simplified "cut calories" that often assume the person in question knows what a balanced diet is to begin with. Thanks again for being such a great community, and responding so thoroughly! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2021 03:26 AM PST I'm just wondering about your journey, and how long it took to get where you wanted to be? I mean specifically for guys who started after age 40. *Thanks for all the responses. Learning a lot here. [link] [comments] |
| Best accessory lifts for weighted dips Posted: 25 Feb 2021 04:25 AM PST For all you advanced guys, what do you think are the best accessory exercises for increasing the weighted dips? I'm decent, i have a one rep max of 180 pound at 210 bodyweight, so i need more advanced advices. Weight training exercises are included [link] [comments] |
| Inverted rows with bend back, posture check Posted: 25 Feb 2021 09:09 AM PST Hi guys, I've read that we should lead with the chest for inverted rows. I subconsciously bend my upper back to hit my chest closer to the bar and i think that this position helps me squeeze my back more. Is this ok or will this lead to future posture issues (?) my inverted rows [link] [comments] |
| How come i'm not getting stronger? Posted: 25 Feb 2021 10:58 AM PST I've been doing RR for 6 months, and i can't seem to increase my pull ups by any means, sure... I've been able to perform them with much greater form, but it just feels like i'm not reallyyy progressing. I'm able to do 8 pull ups atm (good form) and when i began training i was able to do about 4 (shitty form) and i feel like it's not enough progresss given the time i've been training for. Here's what i eat and do: FOOD: I eat 2100 calories (which i consider to be a calorie deficit) at 170 pounds/78 kg. I get 150ish grams of protein everyday and eat my veggies. TRAINING: I do the RR at my level of progression (3 days divided within the week) and i do get better slightly at the exercises, all but the pull ups... I'm currently doing 6 sets of 6 while holding on top at the end of each set and i plan on doing them for another week or so to progress to 10 sets of 6, then i'll do that for a week and progress to 6 sets of 7, and so on. (I'm not sure if this is the way to go), i feel like this works, but reallllyy slowly. And that's it, if anyone has any insight on this sort of thing... Help would be appreciated. (english is not my first language, so sorry if i fucked up somewhere along the way) [link] [comments] |

| Navy Seal Burpees vs Bodybuilder Burpees Posted: 25 Feb 2021 10:07 AM PST Which one would you recommend if you had to choose ONE. [link] [comments] |
| Will SL 5x5 help my progress in BWF Posted: 25 Feb 2021 01:25 AM PST I am a little stuck with some progressions and rep counts on various exercises, So I want to run a SL 5x5 for 8-12 weeks, to break the plateau, so because the lifts are only - Bench, Squat and DL (primarily) I feel that some things might suffer such as- High rep BW rows, rear delts, lower back, calves. So my question is has anyone tried this approach for Bodyweight training? How was it? and would you recommend a calisthenics athlete should do it to break his "plateau" in training? Thank you [link] [comments] |
| What are the benefits of supersets? Are they good for hypertrophy? Posted: 24 Feb 2021 03:12 PM PST Hello everyone, I want to tweak my routine a bit, and I was considering putting in some supersets. Do they work well for mass and strength? What are their downsides? How many is it efficient to do? Thanks for your help and knowledge! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2021 07:43 AM PST Hi I need some recommendations for eventually getting a planche. Currently I can't even do a tuck planche (mind you, I'm 6'7, 85kg so the strain is immense) but i want to ask if anybody can give me some prerequisites? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| So proud of my little brother! Posted: 22 Feb 2021 06:21 PM PST So my (28m) little brother (21m) has always been afraid to want to workout, because he's afraid he'll look dumb. I told him "When we all start, we all kinda look dumb in a way. That's the reality. The only way to fix that is repetition." Today was his first day working out! I told him before lifting heavier he has to make sure his form and motion are in check. So we worked out back and biceps and lifted light so we can start with his posture and form. I'm proud because he got through the whole 1 hour workout. We limited his back exercises, because he does have some back problems, but he did so well! I'm really proud he actually wanted to workout and got through it! I really hope he wants to continue, because I want him to live a healthy lifestyle. He's been a really skinny guy, but he wants to change that about him. But anyways I just wanted to share my workout story for today! Thanks for taking the time to read this! PS: If there's any advice/tips you can give to him about starting off I'd be happy to relay it to him! Edit: Wow! Didn't think this would blow up! I appreciate everyone who upvoted, awarded, shared a story, and gave any tips/advice! Showed my little brother this and he feels a bit more confident with working out! Thank you all so much! Edit 2 (HUGE UPDATE): My parents actually want to start working out, too! When they learned my little brother started working out, they wanted join in! So tomorrow I'm gunna start them off on all the body weight training but going light and slowly, because they're body's are kind of fragile. But man I am so happy they want to start doing a more extensive workout! Never thought I'd see the day that my entire family wants to live an active healthy lifestyle. I'm so happy! This means so much to me. I hope once they start they don't stop. [link] [comments] |
| My arms don‘t seem to get bigger although I‘m training them at least twice a week Posted: 23 Feb 2021 10:20 PM PST So I've been working out for around a year in my dad's gym (closed because of Covid, so I'm always alone) and I got pretty confident. I witnessed my body's transformation and the results are super satisfying; that is with one exception: my arms. Although I'm working out 2x a week for a year now, my arms don't seem to have increased in muscle mass or size. I admit I started at a very low level, but I'm surprised that the remaining body built muscels in quite a fast pace. Am I doing the wrong excercises? Or do arm muscles take longer to build up? Are there routines I should be following to maximize arm muscle growth? I'd love to describe my routine, but I always change it up a bit to keep it interesting. [link] [comments] |
| Straingthing arms too much during RTO support Hold? Posted: 23 Feb 2021 08:38 PM PST Is there a way im straightening my arms too much during rto support hold? Whenever I try to straighten as much as possible, the discomfort comes back. But, my arm doesn't feel fully straight if I do it the way where I dont feel the pain like there's a tiny tiny bend in my elbow. Is that hyper extending the elbow? I heard the term somewhere but can't recall where it was from. Or maybe I should just regress back to neutral holds? But I'm pretty confident I can get 60s with that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Feb 2021 12:53 AM PST M(22) Advance bodyweight specifically on push ups here. Some of you might already recognize me, I used to always be able to do alot of flat handed push ups and have had good balance and mind muscle connection with isometric push up base training including with different variations. But due to accidentally overextending my left wrist when doing a rep, I ended up having a strain that still last to this day and cannot do proper flat handed push ups as the pain only on the left still occurs. (Will be fixing that on my own to see a doctor) Luckily I am still able to incorporate push ups very well with using knuckles and especially with parralettes through using my dumbells or kettlebells to do them and I'm able to get the same feeling and results with that (I will miss the flathand for awhile). Using the bars now though starting to feel a bit boring to me and my usual isometric training may be plateauing, although I can easily just set it up weighted with a backpack and weight plates that I have but still. So now, rings are starting to grab my attention to try out. For anyone who use them for training, what are the best type of rings to buy? More personal info: (I'm looking forward to trying them out for a newer variation mainly for push ups or with dips first before using them for pull ups/ chin ups as I am still a beginner for them) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Feb 2021 09:26 AM PST Im 19 M, just got into training for the first time. My main focus right now is the abdominal/core region. I have hypermobile EDS which from what I understand means my joints are much more susceptible to injury than the average person. If anyone else here has EDS or has expertise on it, I would appreciate any tips, do's or don'ts for resistance training with hEDS. thanks :D [link] [comments] |
| Are there mp3 tracks or apps that will act as audio time keepers Posted: 23 Feb 2021 11:00 PM PST There are exercises that require that for example staying in a position for 30 , 60 or 120 seconds depending on the progression and reset then repeat, so I am assuming that keeping a timer and looking at it will not be much helpful, so I was wondering if there are audio tracks or apps that you could use or set for your intervals without looking every time at the timer?

| Finding a resistance band tension that could best fit my goals Posted: 23 Feb 2021 06:51 PM PST Hi, The primary reason I want to add a resistance band is to increase the intensity of certain exercises, mainly pushups. There are also new kinds of exercises I can add to my routine with a band (like bicep curls, tricep pulls, certain leg work). My issue is that buying a whole set of decent quality bands is a bit expensive (+100$). Basically, my question is what band tension do you think would be the most comprehensive to add if I only choose to buy one? (im a broke bitch). So i'd really appreciate if any band savants out there had a recommendation about how to go about this. I know this is probably a bit vague so ill include some of my recent strength #'s to maybe give ya an idea about where I'm at. Im 22 M, 160lbs @ 15-17% BF. I do weighted dips +30lbs for 4 sets of 6-8 and weighted pushups +30lbs for 4 sets of 6-8. I do like 10-12 pullups for 4 sets and also weighted chinups +30lbs for 4 sets of 6-8. TLDR: If you could only buy one resistance band, what weight/tension range do you think would be most useful? Thanks : - ) [link] [comments] |
