| What is the optimum level of sleep required to build muscle? Posted: 21 Mar 2021 01:03 AM PDT Hi everyone! I've started body weight training recently and I'm wondering what level of sleep would be considered the minimum necessary requirement. I've read that 5 hours can hinder growth hormone release and 8 hours increases it. Is there a sweet spot in the middle or would you always say that more is better? Thanks! It would be great to know as I live quite a busy and active lifestyle and I'm currently getting 6 hours/night. I may be able to increase this by sacrificing evening movie time (insert sad face here). Will look forward to your responses! [link] [comments] |
| Opinion needed regarding psoas problems Posted: 21 Mar 2021 12:45 AM PDT I sit most of my day at work. I know I should stop that and I am trying to. I have got the outcomes of sitting for long. I have a weak core, flat glutes, tight hamstrings. Basically I am skinny and but with a soft protruding belly. I used to have lower back pain near my left buttocks when I exerted force through my abdomen. I consulted multiple physicians and atlast got to know it is about my psoas which is tight from sitting. He showed me a few stretches. Now, I have a simole question. This sub has many rouitnes like the BWF Primer, the RR, etc. These are well balanced routines which would help strengthen my entire body in a balanced way if done correctly. Do I need to do stretches? Do they really help? Or would strengthening my muscles do the job? By that I mean would gaining strength and mass compensate for all the overcompensating muscles that caused my tight psoas? I am 29M and I see videos of old people doing psoas stretches and they have little to no muscle. I am afraid that this stretch only thing falls into the category of burn what ypu eat through day long cardio kind of thing. I am doubtful. People with experience, can you please share your opinions?

| Training specificities when pre-injured : go slow or go hard ? Posted: 20 Mar 2021 12:50 PM PDT Hey everyone, So I recently hurt just a little bit my knees when doing box pistol squats. I do them with a small plate under my foot because I kind of have poor mobility. I figured it was a glute weakness because my left leg, which is the most hurt and the one with the weakest glute, shakes a lot every time I do it, way more than my right leg, which is the strongest in terms of glutes. So there are 2 things I'd like to know : first, do you guys think it is more related to my stability or my glute weakness ? Because I thought since I'm not this used to one leg exercises, adding a weight under my foot can create even more instability and therefore prevent me from doing the movement right... so I don't really know what to think. And second, I'm actually performing this exercise only once a week because I'm afraid that doing it more would aggravate my knees but I'm not really sure it's a good idea... do you think I should still try to do it more than once a week to learn the movement properly, or I should back off and go slowly just as I'm doing ? Right now I'm just planning on strengthening my glutes as much as I can with sumo deadlifts and hip thrusts, and keeping things slow with the box pistol squat. Waiting for your thoughts, Thank you.
