It is ever so slightly loose, barely noticeable but that’s why I’m concerned. But yeah I’m trying to avoid biting off my food with the front of my mouth and opting for softer foods whenever I can. I...
I can’t really find any answers to this via google, so here I am. Has anybody experienced a sports injury to the mouth? I was sprinting up some stairs, tripped and face planted the concrete. I...
I plan to eat at maintenance until next fall to improve my body composition. I know that results will be slow, but I’m not in any rush and I prefer it to bulking and cutting cycles. Anyway, on...
What are some good grip training exercises that I can do on non-lifting days? I don’t want to interfere with my program and recovery, and I can’t really spend any extra time at the gym on days that...
You seriously force yourself to be sedentary on rest days? Boy you’re doing it wrong. Like do what you want I guess but active recovery is where it’s at. Cardio, much less walking, is not gonna...
Dunno what kind of job you have but that sounds kind of unnecessary, esp if you have a desk job or if you’re paid hourly. Still, the more you stay active with DOMS the more you’ll get...
Deloaded 2/4 days so far. Kept weights the same, cut volume in half. Lower body fat felt pretty chill, but upper body left me nearly as pumped and beat up (thin line) as usual. I avoided...
My workouts are taking much longer than usual... I mean like like an hour longer. I feel the need to rest more between sets, but that could just be me being careful. I’m just coming back from a bad...
Brief history: Been lifting for 4 years, only 2 of Them on established programs. I can probably count the number of times I’ve taken it easy or taken a week off completely on one hand, and I’ve never...
I think I’m overdue for a deload. I’m thinking about switching it up and sticking with the same weights/less reps & sets (2 sets of 3) for bench, squats, deads and OHP and...
Well, I’m eating about 200-309 above maintenance, and I’m plenty active outside of the gym. Maybe I should reduce the surplus by about 100? I’m still making upper body gains, so I do need a little...
I’m less concerned about strength loss, more concerned about excess fat gain/overall negative impact on body composition due to lifting less weight while eating in a surplus. I’m on a lean bulk.
I also replaced leg press with barbell lunges, but I’m not sure about the effectiveness of that switch since I’m going from a very heavy bilateral movement (albeit supported) to a lighter unilateral...
It’s been about a week and a half so far, and it’s improving but I still can’t do the normally prescribed versions of the lifts I listed without pain. My PT assured me that I’ll be back at it but I...
Due to a recent low back injury I’ve swapped low bar squats for front squats, conventional DLs for hex bar DLs and barbell BORs for incline chest supported rows with dumbbells. Due to the nature of...
So I recently injured my lower back during squats, and not a disc issue, at least. PT thinks it may be nerve related or degenerating tissue or something but I’ve only had one session so we’re not too...
