VTshredder69Lifting is easy, eating is the hard part.
Abs are made in the kitchen.
yungonaDepends on your genetics. For me eating a lot and eating consistently is hard. It is easier to eat little
VTshredder69sounds like you're a bitch bro
yungona1rm deadlift?
DayManI finally started roughly tracking macros the past month or so and was shocked to see how much I was overestimating my protein intake before. Already noticing the benefits of eating a shitload of protein, just bummed it took me this long to figure it out
VTshredder69not about how much you lift, its about how consistently you lift. I could probably do 8 times the pushups you can dawg. 90lb dumbell inclines all day long.
shinbangclanfellas, need back excercises.
Got a solid rotation of barbell, dumbbell, machine, and bodyweight for chest, legs, core. But not back. I've tried all kinds of back exercises, like incline rows (barbell and dumbell), TRX bodyweight rows, cable rows, whatever. But I can't seem to hit any of my back muscles like I can anything else.
Maybe I'm not focusing on the right muscles. It's Lats, Delts, and Traps, right? Lats are fine because I swim. Lat pulldowns and wide grip pullups work for that too. Traps I can do shrugs. But delts? Lower back—Deadlifts? I have no idea.
TLDR; show me your back day routine

Craw_DaddyIf you're not feeling cable rows in your mid back then you're doing them wrong. They are an excellent back excercise.

wiltwhiteWhen it comes to lifting heavy weights, no one will give you better advice than your trainer. I beg you, don't be guided by people's advice, it can be dangerous to your health. You can certainly listen to advise about, for example, sports supplements. I have long been using fat-burning capsules healthcanal.com, it was recommended to me by an athlete from one of the forums. Training with weights is a heavy load on the spine if the technique is not performed correctly. So be careful in sports, without the necessary knowledge there is a risk of serious damage not only to your muscles but also to your bones.

-eREKTion-Resurrecting this thread. Anyone have a good leg work out that you could do on an injured ankle? Broke my ankle a month ago, PT said I’m good to ease back into leg day. I think free weights are probably out until all my balance is back. Suggestions?
snowmosexualAnyone have suggestions for 45 min workouts? I've been getting into the gym before work these days but can only spend little time. I usually Push/Legs/Pull/Legs with a 5 minute run to warm up and at least one set of plyometrics everyday. Are HIIT workouts the way to go if you're pressed on time?

DlonettiYou can get strong doing normal workouts for 45 minute workouts too, a lot of people end of doing unnecessary stuff. Focus on less sets with better intensity and try going to failure
icecoastshredderhow many days a week? rn I only go to the gym 2 days a week and I only take like 45 min.
day 1: shoulder press, deadlift
day 2: bench, squat
I do other stuff at home though, like push ups, pull ups, sit ups, squats, wall sit, ect.
snowmosexualI usually do three sets aiming to warm up the motion first set, see how close I am to fail second set, and get close to fail/fail last set.
I go to the gym 5-6 days a week. More consistently 5 days. Lifting heavy 4 days and having one day of pure sprint/agility/mobility work on the weekend. I understand the Mike menser idea of getting big with only 2 days a week, but I’m trying to ski for 8 hours everyday not look good in the mirror.

icecoastshredderif you’re only working out for 45 minutes at a time and lifting heavy or sprinting how is that gonna help u ski for 8 hours?
icecoastshredderIdk who tf Mike Menser is, but the point I am trying to make is save yourself the time of commuting back and forth to the gym 5 days a week to only work out for 45 mins and just do stuff at home, do some body weight stuff or go for a run. You sound like you take yourself way too seriously.

snowmosexualYou asked what I do and I elaborated… sorry for defending myself when you high nosed me for wanting to work out every day
if you don’t know who Mike menser is then maybe don’t be giving out advice? He was one of the most influential body builders of the 80s
I work landscape install maintenance which is pretty demanding job. Swinging a pickaxe all day sure does a lot. I would spend all day working out and mountain biking if I could, but 45 minutes before work in the AM is all I can squeeze in during the week. Sorry I didn’t include every rep of physical activity in my response to you.
