I have been getting good results cutting. My issue is I have increased fiber intake and still season a good bit of my food. Are these two the culprit for the water gain?
There are all kinds of things to do without a gym. Do bodyweight exercises, step ups, jogging, sprinting, shadow boxing, running stairs, etc. It is all about being active along with diet.
As I have been leaning down and doing cardio for improving conditioning and fat burning the last month, I have not been noticing any drop offs in my strength training. I mix up rep ranges/set, etc...
That is why you should focus on compound lifts or exercises rather than on bodyparts. Try to use at least one compound movement for the major parts. Bench-chest Military or Overhead-shoulder...
Post this quote on the powerlifting/strongman forum and see the replies you get. Many strongman have higher overhead press numbers than bench press numbers. As I said previously nearly every upper...
I am talking about for general health and performance not bodybuilding aestetics/symmetry. Compound lifts keep your body strong as a unit. Not everyone on here is a bodybuilder. What do you think the...
Very Important. If your a bench press fan(Like me lol). You should do rotator cuff exercises and military or Overhead press as part of your routine. You dont need all of finess shoulder exercises...
Go for it. Unless your training for powerlifting competiton. It does not matter about straps your grip will come along as you get stronger and progressively you will only need straps for heavy sets....
I am 23 and can still train like I did as a teen. I would say easy gains peak at 25-26. Though I have heard that 28-32 is actually the peak time for strength and gaining size.
After arms, the shoulder is the most important upper body part to keep strong(besides the back complex). Everything you do involves the shoulder to some degree.
I also have a way to give my body a workout with push ups. Try doing them through the entire day every 3 days. What I mean by this is from the time you wake up to right before go to bed do max push...
Not to sound negative but muscle growth and fat loss at the same is nearly impossible. I would just focus on gaining strength maintaining muscle while you cut down. I would also say yes to your...
Good post.
Are you saying that these things cannot be synergistic? Obviously, I know you can't be at your strongest max lift(powerlifter) and be at your max cardiovascular endurance level(marathon...
I would not say that they are pointless just more endurance based. I would still continue to do crunches just after your lifting routine. This way your core would be fully conditioned(Strength and...
When it comes to exercise duration I have learned that it is more diet/rest afterwards rather than doing too much. Cardio does not cause the loss in mass it is the calorie deficit. Focus on giving...
Believe it or not compound exercises strengthen your core more than ab exercises. Lifts like the squat, deadlift, and military press engage the core without you even knowing it. Crunches are good for...
