I worked out yesterday and got a good pump on, but I'm bored and want to work out today, too. Is it gonna fuck me up? Internet gives a lot of wildly conflicting info. If it matters, I've been working out 3x a week for two months now.

I'm doing IF and I'm wondering if light cardio (brisk walk, low intensity cycling) is more beneficial to fat loss when done right before your eating hours, or right after. Any help?
‘Fasted cardio’ is the phrase that you’ll want to google

Are burpees just a meme?
This is probably a kinda silly question but
>I have a bar witg¡h 30 kilos loaded on it
Should I do high reps using that bad or just do puhsups and bodyweight squats?
when i say high reps i mean HIGH reps, 100 reps a set!
So ,give me advice on what to do.
go dinobots!
burpees are pretty good cardio if you don't have a lot of space, they just look kind of retarded imo. i'd rather run.
why not both
Yeah I googled that before asking the question, I got bombarded by menshealth articles and other broscience bullshit. That's why I asked here
Is it a good idea to do cardio and body weight training on the same day?
Im trying to fix my APT with bodyweight stuff and stretching. Whenever i try to "pull in" my abs like the vids say i get pain in my lower back and sometimes in my lower abs.
Is this normal? Feel like im making no progress.
Yes, you can do sprints for maximum gains. This is a great article:

Can I get some hypertrophy gains if I only lift twice a week? My main focus is grappling, so I don't have that much time to lift.
How should I structure a routine like this? Upper/lower split with compounds and 2-3 accessories? And what rep range?
>why not both
I have a limited amount of energy per day
If you're only lifting twice a week you'd probably want to do full-body both days. Compound lifts will be your bestest fren but you can throw in a few accessories too. hypertrophy = low rep, high weight. do a warm up set and 3x5 or so for each compound.
Yes, they go well together
so then cut your reps in half and do both
Could two days a week also work for higher rep/lower weight routines? I'm kind of tired of strength routines
if hypertrophy is your main goal then it's usually recommended to stick with low rep/high weight. switch it up if you get bored but don't expect the results to be the same
Is it a bad idea to get water inflated dumbbells? Does anyone here have any?
So a couple months ago for the first time in 20 years or so, we cleaned out our basement and got new glasses on the holes that let some air in (previous ones didn't because my dad was too cheap when he build the basement).
The problem is I'd like to install my home gym in the basement but there's like a musty smell that doesn't go away, anyone got tips?
can i skip cardio on leg days
Newbie here, i'm 77Kg for 1.78m, and i have enough of a "beer" belly to hide my muscles. I used to train a bit few years ago, but now i don't do anything. I don't have time to get to a gym or to follow a diet, what exercises could i do at home to get that fucking fat off my body?
I'm taking any help you guy can give
that's more of a /diy/ question, i'd say get a dehumidifer and or look ways to get rid of mold in basements, because it's usually from rain water that gets into walls
Is it gay that I've been using this flu to improve mobility and haven't worked out at all? I mean, what's the point of doing calisthenics if I don't have a pullup bar?

>I don't have time to get to a gym or to follow a diet
Keto OMAD seems like your best answer, no counting calories, no tracking macros, just portion your plate with 25% fat and 25% protein, one 1000kcal meal with some bulletproof coffee, and that's it
Any medfags here? I've got a specific question.
Every 3-5 weeks on Saturday, my girl friend will drive down to visit me at my house. We'll hang out, visit, etc., but the big focus of the day is that we get to have sex after not seeing each other for a while. On these days I'll wake up probably 1.5 hours before she's set to arrive and I'll feel nauseous. I'll make 2-5 bowel movements before she arrives, and after that, we'll have sex and I progress through the day as normal. It's just that first part of the morning where I feel abnormally sick. Sometimes I even dry heave but I never vomit. I'll sleep anywhere from 7 to 9 hours the night before without interruption (12-9 time block).
Any idea how to fix this? I've tried eating small portions of carbs to settle my stomach and I'll brush my teeth too. Usually the latter helps the most.
>drink water
>pee is light yellow/bordering clear
>go to bed
>wake up
>pee is an almost orange like color/dark yellow
Why?
It's understandable user. Especially if you don't have a home gym. At least you're working on some "functional strength". Those powerlifters may be strong with weights, but what about their own weight? Could they save themselves if they needed to pull their bodies up? Don't wonder about that user, just make sure you could save yourself
You haven't been drinking for almost 8 hours. Your body is dehydrated. That's why you see guys like Jeff Cavalier say to drink 2 full bottles of water after you wake up, but I find that much water makes my stomach hurt.
what makes pee clear is water and you weren't drinking it for 8 hours so the urine is concentrated
Thanks my niggas. Now a toast, to some fresh water.
breakfast: lean meat + eggs or cottage cheese/natural yogurt
dinner: meat + veggies + rice/groats
supper: fruit(s)
also i always eat either tatar or whey shake during the day but at different times, if it's the work out day then i'll do it after it (usually between dinner and supper)
first diet (cutting), always counting calories, am i missing something or is this acceptable?
Does anyone have good ppl routine?
anyone have a tutorial / routine on handstand pushups?
Are elastic bands good for pull ups? I can't pull with my back, only my biceps so I can barely do 3 with good form. I could use the band for other exercises too because >no gym
What should I get?
i use the Coolcicada one from Reddit and I've gotten some solid gains on it
had to make some modifications for home gym usage. for example, I don't have dumbbells or cables, so instead of cable rows I do seal rows, and instead of tricep pushdowns/extensions, I do close grip bench and weighted dips
I also like to go heavy always on bench/ohp as I'm still novice/intermediate, so I do heavy OHP on leg day after I squat, and I replaced ohp on push day with a rear delt fly
>Can I get some hypertrophy gains if I only lift twice a week?
twice is week is basically useless
bare minimum is 3 days, in which you do fullbody
if you want to do 4 days, do upper/lower split
I like to do 6 days a week, where I do ppl
>what rep range
3 or 4 sets, 8-12 reps, 30-90 second rest periods. Use this for your accessory/isolation movements
I haven’t worked out in a gym in a month now. My weight is exactly the same. I was doing cleanish keto before and switched to a budget low carb diet (frozen chicken nuggets, frozen meatballs, etc) during quarantine. Have I lost muscle and put on fat? Here’s three weeks ago (I carbed up on vacation and surprisingly looked better than before).
>I can't pull with my back, only my biceps
There's no way you can pull your chin to the bar without using your back.
Using bands is pretty useless for pull ups. The band provides maximum help at the bottom (when you are at your strongest) and little, if any, help when you are at the top, where help is the most needed.
how to look likethisA?
>twice is week is basically useless
This guys is an idiot.
2x full body workouts is fine. Do one day with heavy weights, and the other day with slightly lower weight, just as a boredom breaker.
After
yes, just lower the intensity. I'll lower my walking speed a bit (I hate running)
>or follow a diet
it's all about the diet dude. and some cardio
definitely try to do some basic resistance training at home (like throw on a backpack and do pushups, dips, pullups, split squats, etc) to maintain mass
personal diet tips I like to follow
>no liquid calories
>sugar free, low calorie gum to control cravings
>500 below maintenance
>for a "cheat day", eat at maintenance, do extra cardio
>for fast food, chipotle is by far the most filling and nutritious...just mind the sodium
>skip breakfast, stay hydrated, eat two meals a day
Better photo. Sorry my chest is red. I just showered.
your traps look smaller, unless you are posing differently
invest in a home gym if you can, barbell, rack, bench, plates. I got mine for $600
it's better than nothing, but if you're not getting the frequency, you won't gain results as fast
how long do neural gains last for? I've been training seriously since September. thinking I should go on a cut as I'm about 20% bodyfat but I'm getting close to some of my goals
5'7, 160 lb
current lifts
OHP
>122.5 lb 1RM (probably higher)
Bench
>200 lb 5x5
Squat
>235 lb x 5, might be higher, don't wanna risk it
Deadlift
>275 lb x 5, new to deadlifting so it's been going up 10 lb a session pretty easily for the last month and a half
I'm on ICF, doing 20 minutes of cardio a day, working forearms/grip on non program days.
I'm currently SEVERELY limited on nearly everything by my grip, hence the forearm/grip training.
Am I going in the right direction with this routine?
One of my Test vials appears to have ice in it? I’m nor sure if the testosterone/oil crystallized or something and is the liquid itself still safe to draw and use?
You look the same but the lightning is much dimmer
What do you guys think of Kimchi? Trying to get more fermented foods in my diet for a better gut
you've obviously lost a ton of weight, and for that, i congratulate you.
for grip, i'm the same way. grip strength is limiting my ability to do heavy deadlifts. i bought lifting straps, but also do farmers walks at the end of every workout to train the forearms regardless.
try not to rely on straps for deadlifts, at least starting out. but chalk will help reduce slippy/sweaty hands
who would be on your wuflu bingo card fit? Also why hasn't any boards been making bingo cards?

At what point do you think Yas Forums becomes unhealthy and counterproductive towards your overall wellbeing?
my home gym is 20/40/60/80/100 lb dumbbells and thats it
my struggle is getting an exercise between the weight levels because what happens is its too easy for one weight but I'm not strong enough yet to do the higher weight
for example curls right now I can do 40s for ages and not feel I'm making progress, but I can't do 60s really yet without horrible cheater form
how do I jump between weights, should I keep trying to do my shitty form cheat curls with 60lbs until I can do real ones or stay with 40s
>OHP (dumbbells) 16kg(x2) x 8
>BP 22kg(x2) x 8
>Squat 40kg (x2) x8
How long to reach 1/2/3/4? How long to OHP 2 plates?
so i shouldn't exercise every day since muscles won't have time to recover right? but does that effect cardio shit like jumping jacks, running in place etc?
i'm really itching to work out more
depends on your level. if you are intermediate or above you should have 2 rest days per workout for maximum strength gains. if you are a beginner you can work out every other day or even every day.
I have just done a 4 day split for a while. I do heavy compounds and isolations. Been lifting for 6ish years, but only got my nutrition on track a few months ago. I also wasn’t really tracking my workouts much. Since I got a tracking app, I’ve ensured I’m following linear progression.
>i'm really itching to work out more
6 day ppl split
to reach 1/2/3/4, anywhere from 3-6 months, or even more if you're 100% on point. but everyone makes mistakes
for heavy compounds, try to do 5x5 sets, and 3x5 if you stall. for deadlift, a 1x5 working set once a week is fine
to do 1/2/3/4 for sets, certainly longer
