Clean & press. Those things beat me within an inch of my life. Feels like I just took on like 6 armies underleveled in a Fire Emblem game after a set of them, even when I used a light weight. Very...
To me, it's not a set until I can't do anymore reps. I make that muscle give everything it's got, otherwise i'm just not getting all I could be getting out of the exercise.
I use olive oil in protein shakes, but haven't done much else with it. I like that it lets me get just some fats in, and not anything else "along for the ride" like sugar.
If i'm going low budget proteins, I like to use six star cause it tastes good, blends good, ain't too high in anything I don't like, high protein per serving, cheap. What else could you ask for...
If going underhand for the bent row, I will sometimes use my curl bar because the angles are a bit more wrist-friendly. I'll otherwise stick to the straight bar, it just feels better for overhanded...
I'd probably check in with a doctor before much else. It doesn't exactly sound normal to get bloating without a good reason behind it. There could be a condition of some kind you aren't aware of...
I just think about daily totals, and divide whatever i'm having per meal by how many total meals there are in the day. Right now i'm having two a day, so my total's around 180 for protein so I go for...
If you have some type of crossbar setup available(rack/barbell, squat stands/bar, chairs/bar) you can set the bar so that you're sitting on the ground, and do seated pullups. It's a variation that...
Personally if I don't reach failure, then the set's not done. Counting reps was always too distracting, and I never felt like I got anywhere with it. I like to keep volume less but go all out each...
A whole program just for abs seems wildly inefficient. I'd much rather spend my time hitting the whole body and throwing something in for abs as part of it.
I think one of the biggest mistakes with calf training, is that it's left purely to isolation movements. Isolations are great but they shouldn't be the main tool, so I like to combine a compound with...
What are you actually trying to replace the caffeine with, would be my first question. Like what are you trying to get out of the food consumed? No caffeine? Alternative form of it?
As good as squats are of an exercise, I wouldn't say they're what i'd go to as my calf movement. My main issue in that sense is that if you point toes in to hit the outside calf, you won't get much...
