How do increase the length of your workouts? I'm doing stronglifts and my workouts take max 40min in that I arrive and leave while some people are still working out. Makes me look like a beta, any advice?
I'm a skelly whose been lifting for a month, most of weights are around the 17.5kg area
>>39578125
when the weight becomes more challenging then you'll rest longer which results in longer workouts.
>>39578125
Start doing more work.
>>39578125
Do more volume then. As long as you're recovering fine work more nbd
How accurate do you guys think a heartrate monitor / fitness tracker is at calculating calorie expenditure?
I'm trying to lose about 10 lbs (170 to 160, I'm 24 and 6'0"). Problem is, my activity levels are up and down a lot because of work... Some days, I have time to go for a run, go to work, and go rock climbing. Others, it's just desk job and sleep. Aiming for a cal deficit of 500-750, but with my exercise up and down, it's hard to follow a formula like the fit wiki's (weight in lbs * 100) to calculate expenditure, and I feel like shit if I work out a bunch and eat 1300 cals.
Thoughts?

>he needs a tracker
work out your expenditure for a typical day of low activity, and work off that, anything else you burn is a bonus.
eating 1300kcals will make you feel like crap even without exercise unless you're a 5'2 woman. so on days you're doing a lot, just eat a little more. use your noggin. you don't have to be super accurate, just eat less than you use and you'll use up fat. if you're losing it too slow, eat less. feel crap, eat more.

I didnt even answer your original question. You know how you use one of those online calculators for working out your tdee or calories burned doing an exercise for a certain amount of time, and you think the number is probably somewhere in the right area of what was actually burned, but not exactly accurate? Well heart rate monitors are the same.
I used a Polar FT4 for a couple weeks, it was one of those chest straps, a hell of a lot more accurate than those wristbands. and when I'd done my run or whatever, I'd get a calories burned number, and I'd just think "it's probably close enough". I tested it a couple times and the numbers from online calculators and the number from the HRM was in roughly the same area.
they're a toy and don't do a whole lot. I'd definitely question every number I got from it as much as these online calculators just because wristbands aren't great anyway. If you got the spare cash and really do have a wildly varying amount of activity every day, it'll give you an idea of what you've burned.
Can you guys help me out with a program for running longer distances in a faster and faster time? like tips and tricks or how should i level up my progress? also is running with a gas mask on any good, as in does it have benefits for endurance or anything in the long run?
Im asking this because i want to join the FFL and /k/ says my running times are disastrous (8km in 43 minutes with a stop after the first 4km and one at km 6, in which the timer wasnt stopped so i guess the recreation time was 2 minutes maximum)
Also a pull up workout would be helpful too
Thanks in advance!

also running with weights in a backpack...does it help or does it not?
>>39577883
When I want to run a route/distance faster quickly I will increase my total mileage to a point where I'm running very bad time. Like a 50% increase in distance at a penalty of maybe 3 minutes per mile.
Run that for a while and go back to my old distance for time a month or two later and fucking destroy it.
I also do sprints, there are 5 or so hills on my route and I sprint them without exception everytime.
Remember to eat well and not expect a huge increase in performance in periods less than ten days apart. You can run ten miles and five days later run five miles and feel like shit doing it. That doesn't mean you're not getting better.
Don't fucking run with weights you should be rucking and running enough that your joints bother you now. If you were working hard you wouldn't even imagine running with weights.
Watch your diet and consume carbs that don't make you feel bloated and watch your electrolytes and hydration levels closely. If you drink a lot of caffeine get off of it and use it only before you run if at all.
>>39578357
Also don't ruck more than six miles there's no point to that in training as risk of injury goes way up after six just do it more often if you feel that's not long enough.
I just found out that my gym is probably goint down for good.
I have been going there for four years, five to six times a week. Sometimes when I was going by, Id just go in to greet the receptionist and lift a bunch of weights for five minutes just for fun before going back to my daily business. It was like a second home, maybe I even came and left more freely than I do my house.
I dont know what I am going to do.
>tfw botched another job interview

Kek I mean he's not exactly dyel but he's still little. I think I can safely say that I could hold my own in a fight against him. My reach would be way father and I could pack a bigger punch.

Women right?
Stop doing curls.
I sadly fell for this and thought weighted ring pull ups and rows were enough
nothing better than brachiorradialis and bicep gains for the grills with curls and hammercurls
Haha I made that
STOP TAKING SIPS

This. Fake sugar is terrible for you.

Read that in your herbalife newsletter friend? Quick hurry back activating your almonds and filtering your tap water before you die.
No one cared who I was until I took my first sip
OHP 135x5
Bench 225x4
Squat 260x4
Diddly 330x3
Everyone keeps saying i have a nice booty /fit/, but my numbers are trash, especially dead and squat. Are they lying? Current Body/Butt Thread I guess.
Pic related, me being a snapchat whore the other day
>>39577325
How trash your stats are is dependant on how long you've been lifting. So how long have you been lifting?
>>39577325
your ass is flat.
Get those numbers up
>>39577386
A little over 2 years now, been cutting since then, down from 300lbs to about 230lbs at 5'11"
I hate standard barbell rows from the floor. I hate the position you have to be in, I hate the fact that it's so easy to cheat at them that it basically comes naturally, and I hate how no other dude in the gym is EVER doing them.
Makes me feel like I'm doing a meme exercise. Are other variations of rows good enough to develop the same muscles? Or are from the floor rows really the end all be all?
>>39577323
Can I just do seated cable rows?
>>39577323
Weighted pullups
>>39577419
Yeah, as long as you stop being a lil bitch
Fags use pounds nobody cares about kilograms the metric system is for faggets
>I am 2.87 meters
>he totally failed at 124kg
Shut your European faggy dyelmouths I'm here to read fitness related threads not convert meters to feet kilograms to pounds to understand your gay eurogym stories how you put coins into a squat rack
Leave lifting heavy things to the burgerbros in the US we don't care about your shitty metric system petrofag
