I have this same issue and I’ve heard two things. It’s either genetics and you can only do a little to make it better, or it’s not genetics and you can fix it. I don’t know how to tell which one it...
You will lose muscle strength from the gym if you just swim. But you’ll gain muscular endurance from swimming. Do whichever makes you happiest. Im a competitive swimmer and swim for my High School. I...
Today I wanted to start doing the overhead squat in my training to change things up a bit. But when I went to try it I realized it is a ton harder than it looks. after trying it with just the bar I...
I don't feel like doing the math. But by squaring size, the weight gets cubed. So take your height, square it. Then take your weight and cube it. You'd have to do some proportions or something to...
I'm trying to get me legs in better shape for sports, i.e. swim and running. Is it possible to do hypertrophy leg workouts one week and then switch to endurance leg workouts the next week and then...
I need to start endurance lifting soon, mostly to get in better shape for sports. Since I'm a distance runner and swimmer, all that muscle mass only makes me slower. I'm going to start doing the same...
I'm 16 as well. 5'8", 145lb. Been weight lifting for close to a year now too. I found that eating a ton of food, basically whenever I got hungry but making sure it's not just junk food, helped me...
I just started training for my High School XC season again and we are in the weight room after runs for 3 days a week. That would mean that I'd be lifting 2 times a day and 1 time on a rest day each...
I've noticed in recent pictures that my arms are always in a bent position. Even when I hadn't lifted for a few days my arms would be bent at about a 5-10 degree angle. Am I training my biceps too...
I know how you feel. You want to gain muscle very quickly and have the energy to workout all the time you feel. I've tried working out twice a day. It worked for about 2 weeks and then my body...
As gbullock32 said, your body gets used to the workout in a way. It's actually that your recovery time for those muscles is shortened from continuously working those muscles out. It's a good thing if...
It depends. Big as in people passing by will think "Damn he's big". Or big as in friends will say you're big? If it's the latter then just start lifting more. You clearly aren't too big if A) You...
I've been losing weight. Probably due to the fact that I run and swim in the summer and now that schools over I'm eating less. My progress on other lifts id say is pretty good, I've been doing 3x8 of...
A month ago I was able to do benchpress 5x5 @ 135, and was definitely able to do 5x5 @ 125 easily. But now it's a struggle for me to do 5x5 @ 115. Was that because I was much newer or something. Or...
I'd recommend starting with StrongLifts 5x5. As far as eating goes, i personally suggest to eat whenever you want but make sure it's relatively healthy food. Limit the junk stuff. (I'm not an expert...
Yeah, my kids will be getting hit if they do something wrong. It's the way I was raised and it worked. I've had tobasco sauce put in my mouth, liquid and solid soap, spanked with a wooden spoon,...
I'd assume they either just get lucky, or they pay someone to put their songs out in the world. For example. I'm sure you could pay Spotify to put your song in the "New Releases" section. So if your...
