Scooby likes them.
I mean, it's 5 bucks. Try it yourself.

>>39279623
btw planks, ab wheel and leg raises only do your abs aka rectus abdominis isometrically, if you werent aware...I got much better results with my abs when i started doing exercises in which i actually dynamically contract them.

People usually go into further detail when explaining how they got better results.

/Cardio General/ lads. Get in here.
Because if you aren't doing cardio in addition to lifting, you probably aren't /fit/.

This might be a good question to ask here actually
I started biking again about 2 and a half months ago for cutting reasons and I've seen huge progress. But it's now nearing winter, and I live a little further North than most. Does anyone bike outside in the winter? How is it?

>Runnerfag
There's a dirt track near me, so I try to run on it at least once or twice a week.
Kinda boring though, so I'm looking for something new.
Just found an old skipping rope. It's a nice one; I think my sister brought it along wit some other expensive shit when she was "totally gonna get fit". Plus I hear boxers use them a lot.
Anybody got any infographics on them? Or ways to exercise? I'm not sure if I should just jump rope for a while, or if I should go all out for 2 minutes, rest, then repeat a few times.

Anyone here slow/clean bulking to minimize fat gain?
Goal lbs/week?
Calorie surplus?
Macros?

I cycle my macros and calories, so my goals are:
Rest day:
2500cal, 200g protein, 100g carbs, 140g fat
Workout day:
3700cal, 225g protein, 520g carbs, 75g fat
This works out to a 3200cal average when working out 4 days a week, which for a 6'7" guy is a slow bulk.
I don't really have a goal lbs/week - my goal is to consistently set PRs in the four major lifts every week.
>>
>>39279925
How long have you been doing this? Do you think macro cycling is effective for minimising fat or is it just some "optimisation" thing?

What are some tips for making sleep gains?

Bedtime ritual m8. Some nice chamomile tea or a shower.
>>
Try to unwind for a while before sleep. No heavy meals or lifting too close to bed time. Read a book. Avoid screens. Get used to going to bed at same time.
>>
>>39279156
How long does this bedtime ritual need to be? 30 minutes? I've heard of what you're talking about before
>>39279163
I'll give that a try, I just need to figure something out. I would love to get a consistent 9 hours a sleep a night atleast but I just can't get it down.

the middle of my back hurts, it's weird, like when i arch my back a certain way, and it's a weird kind of hurting, my reflex to it is to tense my core
I did incline press for the first time, i arched my back a bit like it was a flat bench, is that why i hurt myself?
other new exercise i did was dumbbell rear lateral raise (reverse fly) but it seems incline bench would be the culprit
advice pls

I have serious hip pain when squatting. Should I lay off the squatting for a couple of weeks and focus on stretching everyday?

I had this problem so i'll speak from my experience
Pain wasn't coming from inflexibity but rather not 'activating' my glutes enough. By experimenting with stance width and foot angle, and trying to push my hips forward in the concentric phase (and squeezing glutes), the pain went away and my squat went up.
>>
How serious are we talking anon?
And yeah, it would probably be a good idea to stretch and rest for a little bit.
With luck you may only need a single week to get back at it.

Should I stop doing deadlifts too?

I'm a dyel that has never touched a barbell. Should I get a trainer for the first month so I know what the fuck I'm doing? Also so that I don't break my back because of shit form

Depends.
Maybe only buy 1-3 training sessions and have him work with you on form.
If you have him train you he will probably give you a few mesocycles of babyweight, which is really pretty much counterproductive to anyone looking to lose weight, build muscle, or get stronger.

>>39278989
dirty daddy BOB SAGET

Read Starting Strength or the Stronglifts website pages on form and take some form videos of yourself.
The problem with getting trainers is that a) they will try to sell you on routines that use machines to justify the gym spending money on them, and b) there's no assurance that they use/can instruct with proper form themselves

He passed the touch to you before he died, stop being a faggot and go lift like he would have wanted you to

Sorry to Heat that anon, that sounds absolutely devastating.
Maybe you should try to use his memory to become the best version of yourself and then later pass that to your own son if you plan on having one.
Again, really sorry to hear that.
