@knowledgeisnotignorant - the teamfullrom folks sometimes use yoga mats/pads/blocks (you could use fatgrips even) to get more range of motion at the bottom - yes a lot of machines are shortened bias but i imagine you can just blast lengthened partials past your normal proximity to failure...

@ethonhauler if you add weight over time you are training to get more muscular. if you add weight on exercises with the additional goal of showing off how strong you are on specific exercises like a barbell bench press, you are a strength enjoyer

@michaelfrancis id say just assess how the "3x8-15" approach is working in terms of recovery/adaptation for each muscle group like maybe just take a read of the rp training volume landmarks article and use your biofeedback and performance to possibly adjust the number of sets to make sure you're...

@igortachkent /r/bodyweightfitness and less food in

@seekinggod2 to be honest bodyweightfitness recommended routine would probably be more structured with more reliable progression for at the very least your upper body. for your lower body calisthenics is lacking so it would not hurt to spam bulgarian split squats, load up a backpack with heavy...

@daniellemarie17 if you are at the same body weight 6 months later its not a real deficit if you got a shit ton stronger you probably gained some muscle and if you are at the same body weight mathematically theres probably some fat loss

@needyfollower read the fitness wiki. all of it. if you're doing strength training you might as well make it effective and the only real difference between a good muscle building gym routine and a good fat loss gym routine is your food/cardio.

@hopelesslysaved tldr you are getting stronger in a way that makes it highly unlikely you are losing muscle. you used to be more muscular which likely gives you a long runway of being able to continue getting stronger and more muscular much faster than someone without the “muscle memory” effect...

@daniellemarie17 have you added a significant amount of weight to your lifts

@seekinggod2 can you do some sort of progressive overload week to week/if you have enough weight to do rdls why cant you do more heavy lifts

@hopelesslysaved those body composition scales can be wrong. how do the pictures compare and how is your strength?

@spiritualfriend you are pretty fucking light. do not worry about bodyfat percentage. what rate can you realistically track and manage consistently? 0.5lb/week is probably the minimum as a noob to actually manage. i am on the side where i would rather not diet much and skew towards very relaxed...

@violetsmith there is a difference between “you should do this” and “you could possibly see benefits going up to a surprisingly high volume if you dont run into joint pain, if your lifts go up and you manage overall fatigue, tentatively try it out” (which people who have watched the full video...

@1ofthechosen genuinely go to costco and find something cheap that sounds like it tastes better than shrek booty its all the same in terms of macros

@flyinq hex bar deadlift is fine for noobs just do it tbh

@1ofthechosen creatine provides a very small additive benefit mostly to muscle fullness and temporary strength which could translate into long term gains. find the cheapest monohydrate. ideally 1g/lb lean mass or 1g/cm protein is a good target for building muscle especially on a deficit. im...

@neverbeenalone i'm not terribly sold on NH's understanding of the science. i watch him for the jason blaha roasts and programming advice. i know that alex bromley likes touch and go bench and deadlifts to accumulate more volume but the counterpoint is that you could simply accumulate that extra...

@violetsmith mike encourages doing an amount of volume that you can recover from (in terms of performance and soreness) primarily from straight sets in reasonable rep ranges and adding reps or weight week to week. he posts his training and has tons of compound movement 6-10 rep work. the...

@stabao doesnt matter what i think. doesnt matter if its good for your age. there’s some kid your age masturbating 5 hours a day and there’s some kid your age deadlifting more than the average regional level powerlifter. you obviously know that if you want to get stronger you just keep on...
