| I weighed 34kg. I now weigh 40kg after trying to live healthier lifestyle. Posted: 31 Jul 2021 06:00 AM PDT I just came out of the psych ward after starving myself for months leading up to my eventual commitment. I'm better now mentally and physically though. I started eating more greens and more food in general. I don't get tired as easily as I did before as well and would like to start working out or running/jogging. Although I'm proud of myself for gaining 6kg in such a short amount of time, I now have an awkwardly big belly bump that I want to get rid of and somehow distribute to my arms, legs or wherever it should go that's not my stomach. I was wondering if anyone could help me on how to do this? Thank you :) Note: I'm Asian and tiny and believe it or not, I'm not super thin as one would imagine given my weight. I'm 4'11 so given that weight I still am physically proportional. Edit: Thank you, everyone! Especially for your genuine concern and advices to me ♥️ I really appreciate everything. I will keep everything you all have said to me in mind and will also talk to my therapist about this. I'm sorry I can't reply to every single one of you. But I will try my best to.

| Posted: 30 Jul 2021 10:20 PM PDT I'm a M 5'8 (or 5'9 lol) 18 year old. I've been doing pretty good so far on my fat loss. Starting at 211 and now 187 in the matter of months. I accomplished most of this to calorie deficit, cardio 5 days a week, and intermittent fasting from 7:55p to 1:55p the next day. Now I'm not gonna lie I notice a very little difference but I've noticed changes. And I probably should've been taking progress pictures. But I think now is the time to start throwing in resistance training to help build more muscle. I don't have a car and not enough money to maintain a gym membership so I was wondering what are some ways for me to accomplish this at home with good results to show for it? Something I can mix in with my cardio, intermittent, and deficit plan. [link] [comments] |
| Knee soreness? Can't work out legs Posted: 31 Jul 2021 08:57 AM PDT So I have been doing strictly bodyweight workouts for 2-3 months now and fell in love with a basic routine I made for myself. Recently ran into a problem where my knees really hurt about 20 mins into my leg workouts, mainly anything that put more pressure on my joints like squats and seated pistol squats are almost impossible without feeling like my knee is gonna fall apart. My knees don't hurt at all unless I'm doing reps of exercises I skipped working out legs for a couple days and that seemed to help but it started to hurt again after a while. Has anyone had this problem and how can I fix this? Should I just take a lot more time off from working my legs or maybe even see a doctor if this is a more serious issue? [link] [comments] |
| Need help incorporating periodization Posted: 31 Jul 2021 10:56 AM PDT I've (26m/146lbs/5'8) been working out fairly consistently for about a year and have made decent progress mainly running the RR. A few months ago I began following this PPL gymnastics rings routine and I like it quite a bit. As of late, however, I've noticed that I'm not progressing as quickly as I used to. Browsing this sub, I've learned about periodization (this post specifically), but I'm not sure how to incorporate it into my current routine. For the accumulation phase, would it be as simple as having the 1st workout of PPL, be a lower rep day like 5-10, and then the 2nd workout of the week be a higher rep day like 10-15? I would scale the difficulty of the exercise to suit the rep range of course. I want to make sure the gains keep coming so I'd like to train as smart and hard as I can. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Average Joe's 4 Months Progressions Experimenting with Bodyweight GZCL Method Based Routine Posted: 31 Jul 2021 10:31 AM PDT I have been experimenting with the GZCL Method based bodyweight routine for the past few months. You can find more details of the routine I am experimenting with here (some of the actual numbers I use are slightly modified from this routine). This experiment is just first one of the 3 or 4 experiments I'll be doing. The goal is to compare those 3~4 experiments to see what works the best for me (and possibly for others). So this experiment itself on its own would not have much of conclusions to make, yet. (when real researches use different groups to experiment different conditions at the same time, I only have myself to experiment with. So it's gonna long.) So not much insights to share, yet, but I wanted to just share my progress. You can watch my progress here. To summarize the progresses in text:
One potential insight I can share might be: Using RPE to extend my legs in static exercises such as Front lever and Back lever seems to work for now. Instead of limiting myself to those standard fixed progressions that have big jumps like tuck, advanced tuck, straddle, half lay, full, and etc, I am just continuously extending my legs more to progress. Keep in mind that the routine is based off of an example routine that is tailored towards 3~4 sessions per week. However, I only did 2 sessions per week. So I might be progressing slower than expected due to such a low volume. My experimemnt #3 will be with increased volume. I hope I can comeback with more interesting things to share when I am done with the upcoming experiments. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2021 08:32 AM PDT Hey! I'm a beginner(ish) and wanted to check if this routine is good, i.e. hits all the muscle groups and is intense enough to stimulate growth. My main goal is to gain muscle (as opposed to lose weight), because I'm already quite skinny (130 lbs; M 5'8). Routine - 3 times a week Pull-ups (3x5-12 reps) - Arms, Back Push-ups (3x7-12 reps) - Arms, Chest Plank hold (30-45 secs) - Core Russian Twists (2x10 reps) - Abs, Obliques Sit-ups (2x10 reps) - Abs Leg Raises (2x10 reps) - Lower Abs Plyo Burpees (3x5-12 reps) - Lower Body Calf Raises (2x10 reps) - Calf Squats (3x5-12 reps) - Lower Body Jumping Lunges (2x10 reps) - Lower Body, Glutes Yep, so that's what I have in mind. I think these exercises would target full body muscle growth; however, I'm no expert, so it would be great if someone could validate it or recommend exercises if I missed anything. I also chose the set-reps routine as opposed to circuit training and wanted to check if that's alright for this routine. That means I'd do 3x5-12 pull-ups then rest for 2-3 mins and do 3x5-12 burpees then rest 2-3 mins and so on until the end of the routine. Any advice/feedback would be much appreciated!

| Posted: 31 Jul 2021 02:17 AM PDT So I've been doing this specific upper body workout, weights in all forms, pulling machines, push-ups... I am not a greek god at all, just normal guy, but I've gotten results beyond my expectations; everywhere but my upper arms. My lower arms seem to have 2 times as much muscle than upper, they've grown; my abs, grown... No progress upper arms, I've pushed thru the fact I have a surgery in my left shoulder, to be able to do 10 push ups in a row, before I could do zero; I can now lift 25kg, before I could do only 5kg; with what sounds like pity, the progress in my lower arm has been outstanding; almost nothing in upper. I need muscle in upper not lower, I am not even trying to look good, I went from physiotherapy to this, this is too little muscle there; that's why I needed a surgery to begin with. But nothing works, how can everywhere have progress but upper?... even my lower legs, I just do a couple of squats and somehow, that has done something in the months; but my focused arm training, nothing. I don't know what to do, if anyone has ideas, I need like double the muscle there, just for it to be healthy; otherwise I legit have to see a doctor, this makes no sense. Pls don't come me with BS that I am not trying, I have progress, just everywhere else but where I need it. [link] [comments] |
