Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

so you work out once every three days?

2 out of every 3 days

bench/ohp + accessories, squat/dl + accessories, rest

or alternatively:

shoulders/chest/tricep, back/legs/arms/abs, rest

I don't like PPL because separating legs into its own category is unnecessary and because some of the useful compounds that train legs also train abs and arms (deadlifts, e.g.) and some of the compounds that train legs also train back and abs (squat)

each workout is about 2 hours and I've tweaked volume to make sure I'm fully recovered by the time I work that muscle group again

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

I want huge legs though. So I have my own leg day. I go about 6 times a week.


I wish I was saying more progress than I am. Damn caloric deficit =[ i just want to be sexy!

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

training frequency won't really influence growth as long as the volume and recovery periods are scaled

no pro bodybuilders to my knowledge train the same muscle group every day; that's more for cementing CNS (aka strength after you've grown the muscle)

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

when people bench and dont bring the bar to their chest i'm like.......... fuq's the point

+1

The folks who "lift heavy" in general and have the most terrible form imaginable. Idc what you lift if your form is shit. Yea you squat xxx but dont hit parallel, bench bar doesnt touch the chest your deadlift is 99% on the way to a chiropractor.

I stopped heavy lifting after football related injuries, most of my workouts are lighter weight high rep for that reason. But the "meatheads" who wannabe are daily entertainment.

Yeah. This this this.

It gets thrown around a lot that 'As a natural, you need a high training frequency for GROWTH'

Bullshit. Period. Particularly on the growth aspect.

For strength? That I do agree on. As a natural, if you want to be strong, you should train frequently.

For size? Meh. If anything I've never ever trained legs more than 1x a week and have tree trunks down there. My quads are 26 inches around right now and I have a big ass. Buying dress pants really sucks.

My legs aren't that *strong* though, so there's that. I've had injuries though and concentrate more on flexibility/mobility and leg health now though rather than strength, so right now I'm @ a sad 295x5 deep squat.

Frequency if you want to be strong. If you don't care, 1x a week is enough for growth assuming you apply a lot of volume and progressive overload in conjunction with appropriate diet.

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

i only train my muscles once a week, except legs i do those twice a week. one time on a quad focus, the other on a hammy focus.

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

i have anterior pelvic tilt because of sitting too fucking much turns out i need to strengthen my core and do

[enjineer]

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

static stretches throughout the day that literally exhaust the psoas muscles and all the other ones that connect my hipflexor to my spine.

i do dem stretches after a warm-up run and before lifting and it's helped immensely

edit- ovious signs of APT are, 'why the fuck does my lowerback hurt everytime i dead/squat/clean heavy? am i not stretching/warming up enough? i swear i am jeez' and 'wow my ass looks unnaturally big all the time' and lastly 'i'm literally not doing anything but sitting in my chair why does my lowerback/spine hurt??'

Re: Misc. fitness discussion thread

dw those are the only static one i do pre-lift everything else is dynamic


also i did a circuit with my boy (95 PC+press)x5 burpees x10 box jumps x15 2 days ago and found out i have literally 0 muscle endurance
