What are your experiences with Brosplits vs. frequency 2-3? Which has given you more gains?
1 reply omitted. Click here to view.

I never did a brosplit once I got serious.
Tbh I prefer full body, as in a split that mixes some upper and some lower every day, hitting 2/w for everything

I started bro splitting the first few years but the real gains came after a lowerbody AxBxAxx etc. Now doing fullbody 2x minimal volume and gains are best. This is personal but research points in the same direction.

>How do I start fasting?
By not eating. If you get a migraine or other serious side effects, break your fast with a small amount of low-carb food and start again immediately after.
Recommended app on app store is LIFE Fasting Timer & Tracker

>Electrolytes (recommended for fasts over 3 days):
sodium ~500-1,000 mg/day
potassium ~2,500 mg/day
magnesium ~400 mg/day

Fasting is safe and effective for weight loss, improves emotional wellbeing, blood pressure, does not have life-threatening side effects: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6314618/#sec029title

I'm doing a 36 hour fast. I think I'm up to 18-20 hours now. 18 more hours to go. I don't think I'm overweight but I have a belly so I want to get rid of it and push something like keto plus exercise to get the ultimate physique.

I amn't fasting but this seems like the best thread to ask this in: how much weight can you safely lose in a week before it's causing some kind of damage?

I became a fat fuck during covid lockdowns and after a year of slowly working it off decided to take more extreme measures starting this week. Calorie counting and I am barely hitting 1000 a day since Monday, and tracking my macros I should be getting consistently under 35 grams of carbs (entirely fruit, veg, and oats) as well to try induce ketosis. I also bought an exercise bike and dumbell set which I've been using alongside some basic stretches every day (minus today, my rest day)

Anyway I weighed myself this morning and since Monday I have gone from 110kg (242.5lbs) to 106.3kg (234.3lbs). Is that safe? Most stuff I read said 1-2lbs in a week was reasonable and I have literally quadrupled that.

The Texas Method works, but it's very easy to burn out on it too. Wendler is shit, if you see TM stalling or feel like you're not recovering properly, I'd suggest a classic HLM

>teep
I've been hybrid teep/twisting like a side kick before it was cool. Lacks power compared to a proper side kick but is way better for the awkward range where a front side kick is not as viable or to prevent telegraphing. Bad for sliding/stepping with as the power is derived from a traditional roundhouse but with quads and hips instead of abs.

I had a 350 bench press up until two years ago. Life got crazy and I stopped lifting. I'm just starting again and want to utilize my muscle memory. Any tips on how to get back strong in the most efficient way? I have knowledge of lifting and muscle memory on my side.
>>
>>74090316
Probably just do what you did last time
If you’re around the same weight, I’d expect pretty rapid gains weekly til you get to ~315 again, though it’ll get hard again as you near your old levels
If you’ve lost 100lbs of body weight or something major you won’t be able to recover that level of strength, obviously, without bulking but as you get older it’s also a matter of ‘do I want to spend my time getting fat for diminishing returns’

Question bros... I did an LP last year and got my lifts to intermeditish on greyskull LP. Bench 215x5, OHP 140x5, deads 330x5, squat 275x5.

Took over a year off due to not having stable housing. I was thinking about doing Squat + bench / Deads + OHP / Rest in a kind of 2 on 1 off LP to try and speedily get back to where I was. Would this go okay or do you think I should just restart the LP as normal.
>>
At what point of experience do I stop feeling like a fumbling retard and start actually lifting weights properly? I can barely complete basic sets on machines, much less free weights, and my attempts to squat or do shit with dumbbells feels embarrassingly clumsy no matter how much I try to have correct form. I just get sore and winded extremely quickly.
>>
if i do plenty of moving, like 10-12k steps, cycling as a commute from and to work a day but none of it of any "real" intensity, should i do some hiit stuff for example on the assault bike? ive been doing 30 on 60 off intervals on it for 10 mins after my weight training but im not sure if im doing more bad than good in terms of being able to recover from it? im giving it my all those 25-30 secs so no pussy shit
>>
>>74086614
sure but lifting weights will also give you grip strength.
>>74088162
your wording is confusing, but i assume you mean 1 pull exercise, 1 push exercise, 1 leg exercise, 4 times per week (12 exercises total). that should be fine, you're basically describing the BBB program, however you'll probably want to add accessories too
>>74088326
if you're just fucking about doing a few random pushups or pullups it's probably not a big deal, but if you're doing serious volume every day you'll probably hurt yourself and slow recovery
>>74088823
whatever doc you go to will get you what you need. general doc might refer you to a physio
>>74089398
probably fine, but go by how you feel
>>74089655
your form is probably off on either the DB's, the BB, or both. different skillsets
>>74089667
do what you want, but start off with lighter weights to be safe. muscle memory effect is real. will probably take a few weeks to get back to where you were but won't be too long. don't let your ego get in the way or it'll lead to injury
