whats the science behind it being easier to get muscle back after atrophy? i may have a surgery put me out for awhile

Something about something growing and expanding when you build muscle, so even when the muscles themselves atrophy, they will re-grow easier because of the thing that expanded previously

[€dit] Fascia. The something that grows and expands is called "Fascia"

Also possibly because you got extra nuclei and stuff so its easier to rebuild

I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

more like BOLLOCKnese
Yeah it's much quicker and easier to regrow muscle after losing it than grow it in the first place

I'm actually looking into ordering a bar and weights from Rogue to train from home when they close everything down.

Which is their best use for everything barbell?

Depends. If you do a lot of quick lifts then a Ohio bar it has a smaller diameter for for a bit more whip but not super thin like a Deadlift or Olympic bar.

If you only do a few quick lifts then an Ohio Power bar. It's got a center knurl and it's thicker for a more stable back squat. A bit more aggressive knurl too.

I have a rogue 2.0 bar and haven't had any complaints. Aggressive knurling and is a decent price

Even if its 8-12 weeks just buy heavy bells. I'm sure an 88 and a 106 would last anyone a couple months.

I have a power rack + enough plates to last me for a really long time.

I got an 40 kg bell, that would be the 88 right, math is not my specialty. You can get in a very heavy workout using that thing.

However it might be considered "cardio" so I see why people are worried.

*heavy in the effort expended, I know it doesn't compare with heavy lifting done with a bar

I've got a crappy bench at home but no room for a rack. My poor legs.

e: apparently they're not even sure it spreads from surface contact, but mainly person-to-person. Until my gym shuts down I'll just take a rack in the corner and avoid the cardio room.

Seriously kettlebell guys not even being ironic at this point


53lber or a 70lber to start will do you well in a home situation and pavel will guide you on the path of righteousness

One piece of equipment no need for a rack or a bunch of equipment. Can easily be done in a small apartment.

I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THIS GAME WHO GETS LAID
I just bought a 60 pounder to complement the pull up bar in this tiny apartment.

Edit:

OK so in light of the fact that I am stuck in a tiny apartment for the forseeable future, I did buy a pullup bar and a 60lb kettlebell. As someone who is used to doing the RP Physique Template (5-day split), I'm used to hitting each body part hard 2-3 times a week. It's a bit of a mind shift to go into a "fullbody every day" sort of mode. Since I don't know what the gently caress, I've just been doing like a round of pushups, pullups, squats, planks several times a day when I remember to get up off my desk. Throwing the kettlebell in there for swings, goblet squats, presses, and split squats/lunges would be great, but for maintenance would it still be better do to a full body round several times a day, or try to keep a body part split throughout the week?

I generally do simple and sinister every day and then throw in the split afterward

Floor presses, clean and jerk, high pulls, and snatches will go a long way

Also renegade rows

It's okay if you have any questions.


As long as you're working on a new routine, spend some time on mobility and soft tissue work. Get a foam roller if you don't have one and look into Joe DeFranco's routines (limber eleven and simple six).
