for the gym?

your split doesnt matter as much as you think it does.

6 days can be too hard to recover from
5 days is a sweet spot
4 days is fine but progress isnt optimal (if you stick with it you WILL eventually care about whether things are optimal or not)

if you’re looking for specific movements and splits in general im also down to share! but thats a lot so ill hold off for now

the hardest thing about weight lifting isnt actually lifting but eating. track calories and protein but its fine to be a bit loose about it and not obsess over your macros

i hope this helps!

Don’t push if your form feels like its off, or your back has pressure building.

43

Baby fat everywhere, muscles underdeveloped naturally.

Just really shafted by your genes.

44

And meanwhile I have my own disease and that’s called existing

45

There are ways to solve that too

46

One of which is starving yourself and developing an eating disorder.

47

İ havent done this consistent but lunches and bulgarian split squat probably can help other than this heavy squats can help too i guess

Hello everyone, I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis since late January and is still suffering from one. Is there any suggestion for a cardio or exercise that won’t use my foot intensively?

49

Does anyone have any advice for posture? I’m getting back pains and aches while lifting

50

Handstands, pullups, hangs, off the top of my head. Ill read into the condition more and get you some other stuff. Granted, you should do research yourself in addedum.

Edit: yeah just get really soft and comfortable shoes, stretch often, take it easy (avoid using legs in the majority of exercize). As far as things to do, try doing a 20s plank and see if there is any pain from that. Do figure 4 stretches, v-ups, and a few rush & twists.

What kind of lifts, where are the pains, how deep and intense are the aches?

52

Use belts definitely if you using it also inform the trainer at gym at worst maybe give some break for back exercises

53

Amen.

54

lower back, not really intense it’s just enough to a point where I’m fairly uncomfortable though, might’ve been due to me having shit posture over the years but I’m trying to improve that.

2kg (4.4 pounds) Hammer curls, regular bicep curls and lifting them over my shoulders

55

I don’t go to a gym I do it from home

56

Yeah def tell a trainer so you can get the right form down, since lower back issues are HELL later in life.

Or a physical therapist/doctor.

57

Good thing I have a family friend who’s a doctor

dont hype up weight/fat loss for yourself to the point where you think its a crazy important thing you gotta do everyday. what makes it work is that it becomes boring routine

dont skip meals or else thats how you sabotage yourself and end up backtracking, so try not to speed up the process to be as fast as can be or else it will SUCK BAD!!

i went from a big baby chud to a tiny looking individual (im short as balls so fat just made me look like an actual puffy dwarf-thing) in just going down a good 50 pounds taking a year

Well then I suppose we’re similar in more than a few ways. You also just come up with random plans for the worst case scenario?
