Internet Wizard posted:Yeah dude training your core is for idiots No, train your core to do what it's supposed to do: stabilize everything else. Accomplish this by using good form on squat, DL, pull-ups, press etc Almost every kind of sit-up or crunch is hella bad for your back. Stuart McGill (MacGill?) always gets pimped in YLLS for his opinion on the subject That said, if you're just doing it for afpt score, gently caress it. The only way to get good at sit-ups is sit-ups, I guess. Have at it. Weighted inclines is what I did to train for the navy prt and I used to murder the curl up portion every time. Doing sit-ups is dumb, but then again, I'll never have to do them to keep my job again.

My last two workouts I did: 8+4+3+2 chin-ups and 4+4+3+3+2 chin-ups. Should I start adding weight or shoot for higher numbers on my sets, first?

vulturesrow posted:Speaking of pull-ups, anyone have some good cues for making sure your lats are engaged? I'm on a mission to git gud at pullups. I've found some good vids, etc, but I still feel like I'm getting it right like 25% of the time. For some reason I just can't get it quite right and given that I'm 230 pounds arms alone doesn't really cut it. Also if there is a thread in YLLS that I would get a serious answer to this question in let me know. I know this one isn't the most well-frequented. Go literally chest-to-bar, and get yourself a good hang for a second and focus on your shoulder blades sticking out of your back. -a guy who is admittedly not great at pullups

MurderBot posted:I replaced running/cycling with Rowing a few years ago. Doing 30-40 minutes of rowing is always interesting and seems to burn just as many, if not more calories than cycling or running does... using the rowing machine a time or two a week in place of other cardio has been really great for my posture/upper back/caveman shoulders from sitting all day, too

I'm at max fat guys, 229 lbs this morning (5'11"), Fully disgusting, fatter than av, can barely breathe when I'm trying to slam my girlfriend etc Luckily my college has an extremely dope gym, and I used to be into lifting, so I'm just gonna start posting my workouts here so I can feel accountable to someone, even if that someone is just the void. Program is some barbell movements I like, setsx5, which is all I have patience for for now. It's Starting Strength, It's Greyskull, It's Elitefts, I's a program that came out of some blog article, The 5x5 lives, it dies, it lives again. I'm back in the routine, shakedown workouts out of the way and all, so I have as my baseline: A Front Squat - 135x5x5 Press (military) - 65x5x5 Chin Up - 2, 1 lol DL (double overhand for now) - 225x5x1 B Sq. 155x5x3 Row - 135x5x4 Bench 135x5x4 also I might do some preacher curls or diamond pushups or whatever at the end of these but who cares about that poo poo and gently caress cardio forever but my pedometer on my phone says I walked like 6 miles lol fat people care about walking

My favorite drill for front squats is to do a set or two "zombie" style, i.e. hands-free with your arms straight out in front of you. You'll learn where to rack it on your shoulders pretty fast and get your elbows high. Will probably also be a good trainer for your upright balance. I can do a set or two at work weight usually, but it will point out any flaws in the arch of your back or your "rack" pretty fast. Only reason my Front Squat is high proportional to my squat is because I've only been in a routine like I dunno a month at this point. It's already against the wall, but I should be able to wring a little more out of my back squat in a few more weeks. A 200 lb differential would be totally normal if you were back squatting 405 or something --- Faptain's Log: B - 155x5x3, 95xburnout to 20

my nutrition still sucks, but beer: 230 F Squat - 185x3x5 P - 95x5x4, 65 to 20 DL - 225x10 double overhand It was like 9 so I got the gently caress out of there. No real progress made on my stats, but finally able to start getting some volume with heavy weights which is good and I bet if I start working out in the morning again, I'll start really killing it but gently caress all that well that's my story

^ been thinking about getting into yoga again myself for the same reasons, but I love the agile 8, and once you memorize it it's really quick and good for warmup if your gym has a foam roller. I'm sure longer routines are out there.Frosted Flake posted:How are you measuring your progress? If you keep strength training your weight might stay around the same while your bodyfat goes down. By the mirror. Stats are just what I'm posting here weight lifted weight lost. The lifting is already doing good things for my posture, but let's be real, I'm 6 feet tall and tubby as all hell at 230 lbs. I know it's my diet, should lay off the beer etc. edit: hell, why not e/n a little. Part of me getting back into fitness was my shrink weighing me and pointing out that weight gain is a side effect of a drug I'm on. Whoops. It fucks with my appetite and makes me just want to mow down sugar non-stop (don't usually have a sweet-tooth) and I hadn't even noticed until I gained however much weight, especially when combined with going through a couple of pretty bad breakdowns where I have a hard time cooking and shopping, so getting my diet back into a good routine of vegetables, fats and complex carbs and a little protein is my next step and I'll be back at fighting weight in a few months. Always comes easier once the exercise routine is in place, cause you need good fuel for the machine hail satan US Berder Patrol fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Mar 1, 2017 |

last night: The gym was positively mobbed with frat boys, so literally only piece of barbell equipment I could hop on was Incline Bench - 115x5x3, 95x5x4 for some more volume day before: ran around the block, took a yoga class. My university rec center has them for only $5 which is rad as gently caress edit for today: had time this morning to do what was supposed to be last night's workout Squat- 225x5x3 - utterly destroyed a pair of Nike Dri-Fit shorts lmao Row - 135x10,6,5 dropping the weight and upping the volume and trying not to cheat Dumbbell Bench - 45x10x3 cable row US Berder Patrol fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Mar 8, 2017 |

Not bad, made my abs sore the next day. It was an "athletic recovery yoga," , so not too hard. I used to smoke them bikram 90-minute hot yoga joints but I remember they were pretty expensive. There's some more advanced stuff on the schedule if I want at my university gym, still $5 a class. I'll probably try the "All Levels Yoga" next before going for something more challenging but ultimately I'll add it in once a week or so. Mindfulness practice owns, and I also love their ridiculous pseudo-anatomy chatter during the class just opening up through my side bodies over here
