climbing is honestly the most fun. give it a try if theres a bouldering gym near you!

>>7347 If you get even a little serious about biking (not even mtb, any sort of biking) it's worth it to spend money on a decent bike. Disk brakes are a game changer, though a little pricier. Compression brakes, on the other hand, are considerably easier to maintain and are less likely to rub.
Anyway…
Those numbers are awesome. I'd like to try dead lifting, but I'm not sure I have the knees for it.
And I went rock climbing a few years ago and realized I'm weak af. That's actually what got me into physical fitness. I
really want to go try it out now that I'm in better shape.

As far as "stabilizers" go, that's what literally all of the other upper body workouts do on TOP of the smith machine.
What, do you use the bench press and think that's enough? I sure hope not.

>>7441 Well gym would be better because to be fair for real effects you should train about 3-4 times a week and it's much easier to motivate yourself to go to the gym than to train at home.
But if it's not possible buy a pull-up bar for your door frame.
It's super satisfying to be able to do a few pull ups(but it will take some time) and if your strong enough it's literally the best for abs exercises(pulling your legs up etc.)

>>7444 >>7437 smith machine doesnt stabilisers AND more importantly is a completely wrong bar path. if you want to be safe and you dont have a spotter, bench in a rack. also if youre using it as an assistance for normal bench there are better alternatives
Anonymous 09/12/19 (Thu) 03:28:29 AM 7448
>>7446 >is a completely wrong bar path There is no universal bar path. Everyone lifts differently, and the chart that you posted proves that. If you watch how professional lifters lift you'll see they all have their own style. Not everyone follows the bar path on the right, nor should they. You could seriously hurt yourself if you don't have the proper training to follow such a path.
And again with the stabilizers. That's what other exercises are for, like dips and pullups. Bench pressing with a free weight is basically a "compound" exercise, yes, but is not the only way to work stabilizers.
They both have their place and uses. Knowing what those uses are is key. Smith machines get a bad rep because idiots use them and think they're not as good when in fact they aren't using them
right .
Anonymous 09/12/19 (Thu) 10:20:42 AM 7449
>>7448 yeah, different people have different bar paths based on their leverages. smith machine forces a fixed bar path for everyone in a straight line, which is bad
and if youre using it as an assistance like I said, their are other options that are likely to cause injury

Feels good man.
>>7455 I like to think the stigma is dying off. The tides are changing quickly.

>>7646 Eating more and the whole "caloric surplus" concept is a myth by in large. You don't need to be eating loads to build muscle, since by definition a caloric surplus isn't actually going to be used. Its a surplus. In order of importance:
Training > Sleep > Diet
Most people, when they start to see hypertrophy and increased strength, really only need about 200-400cal extra in their diets. This can be furnished by just having bigger portions or using things like butter, cheeses and oils more. Eating clean is also a myth too.
The people who benefit the most from eating more are people with really bad or inconsistent diets, eg. living off energy drinks. For most people that struggle to gain muscle, it would be firstly their methods of training & exercise and secondly whether they're getting enough rest.
Anonymous 12/09/19 (Mon) 06:07:18 AM 7698
>>7697 I agree with some parts and disagree with others. By surplus I meant the standard 500 cals, nothing exaggerated. Some studies suggest that you don't need a caloric surplus to put on muscles, and that you can make muscle and lose fat at the same time, like a body recomposition. But that is mostly for people who first approach lifting, where their muscles respond excellently to any sort of training. In general, if you want to gain weight you have to eat more, training and sleep are obviously fundamental as well.

Help, how do do pull ups? I am fairly good at doing chin ups but as soon as i flip my hands around i get fuckt.
Anonymous 03/30/20 (Mon) 01:44:01 AM 8073
>>8071 Use bands or one of the assisted pull-up machines to do multiple sets of multiple reps. Progress by doing more reps (up to about 7-10 per set) or decreasing the assistance.
If you can't use bands or use a machine, do half pull-ups by jumping to the top of the rep and then letting yourself down slowly.
There's a chance it could be a grip problem. Doing dead hangs or any bar exercise where you're carrying the weight (deadlifts, rows, farmer carries) will help. Also place your thumb over the bar with the rest of your fingers, instead of wrapping it around like you probably do during chin-ups. This is especially important with smaller hands or wider bars.
Rows probably have the most carry-over, but they're still a very different exercise.
Pull-ups are hard.

I bought a weighted vest a few weeks ago and training with my own weight became much harder. It is a bit uncomfortable though and hot and sweaty and eww, so I don't now if I want to recommend it to you. On the other hand the results are nice and I can see and feel the difference. So in general I would say it's a plus for people who prefer to do their workout at home with their own body weight.

>>8568 What exercises do you do weighted?
I'm still working my way through bodyweight professions, I haven't even considered using a weighted vest. What prompted you to start?

>>8580 I simply and slowly wanted to increase the intensity of my exercises instead of the duration. What really works well in combination with the vest are planks of any kind, Burpees and Squats are tough. I still have problems with Pull-ups (and always will have I think), so I do them without the vest.

>>8581 Wow, sounds intense. Aren’t weighted burpees hard on your knees?

>>7440 Almost no runner looks at amateur runners and thinks they are stupid looking. They think "oh cool, I guess more people are getting into running. Good for them, hope they can get fit." None of us were born as fit people. If it takes you a few more years than us to get there, we're just happy you made it too.

Yesterday I started incorporating dips into my routine. (Before I was doing pushups every workout day, now I’m going to do dips instead every other time.) Holy crap, I was so worn out I would have slept at 7pm if I could’ve. The doms is sooo bad today.

I'm really proud of my progress, and how consistent I've been this month. I hit at least 3 workouts a week (my goal) every week, plus cardio (biking) almost every day. I've progressed from 3 sets of 5 reps to 7, 7, 6 reps. Feels good.

Now the gyms are back open where I am, I really want to get back there and start strength training. Does anyone have any good workout programs I can read/watch as a starting point? I was recommended “Strong Curves” a while ago but I’m not sure if it’s for me.I’m 161cm and 54kg if that helps

>>8212 Bulking and cutting is a meme. Increase protein intake for building muscle, obvi, and be mindful of carb intake so that you get enough to fuel your workouts.
For reference, what is your height/weight?

>>7440 That's what I used to think when I first went to the gym 7 years ago. I gave up. Now because of China-19 I assembled my own home gym.

>>9153 honestly, don't bother with any of the "womens routines" they are all meme shit and scams and won't get you anywhere
if you want results, do the same routines that moids use, just adjust the weights to what you can handle

>>9138 Whenever I get a tweak like that its usually from sleeping wrong. I take my time warming up and getting blood flowing and muscles relaxing before getting into my lifts

Starting Strength is a meme on /fit/ but its not a bad program. I do high-bar and front squats instead of low-bar squats, and smith machine hip thrusts for an accessory. Make sure to keep up on upper body strength too, having a strong back is essential for everything

well maybe not GOMAD. A liter a day should be more than enough.

>>9608 workout to dance cardio videos on youtube so you can brainwash your brain into thinking workout is fun. Once you have a routine move on to whatever you want to do.

>>9608 Just start cycling. It's actually fun instead of soul crushing, relatively low cost and you can go on adventures. Bonus points if you do it with friends!
Anonymous 10/19/20 (Mon) 07:44:35 PM 9611
>>9608 This post is conveying the right idea, even if that exercise amounts to nothing. Establish it as a routine; after you've done it long enough you feel empty and gross if you skip it. Until that point, though, it's mind over matter. You've just got to make yourself do it. Remember your goals!

>>9608 Do a workout you find fun. Jumped on a trampoline as a kid? Go jump at a trampoline park. Liked tennis? Play Tennis. Love a good swim? Go swimming. Just do whatever physical activity you actually like.
