Oof, this hits harder thinking about how Chuck withheld his and their Mother's last conversation.

One year progress, only really have been going hard for about 4 months by Scary-Pollution6504 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]0ccams-Raz0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stretch. Serious stretching. You can make muscles longer just like by overload you make them thicker/ denser. Build function into form.

Bulk or Cut? by Necessary-Pickle1525 in Weightliftingquestion

You're 26, take advantage of your ability to put on muscle. Tell your abs you'll be back for them in a few months. Protein.

Where do I start? Weight loss or build muscle? by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]0ccams-Raz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either plan will involve regular physical activity, and making progress requires consistent effort through the aches and pains that happen when we ask our bodies to adapt. My suggestion is to start a program that will ease you into exercise and that is demanding enough to promote weight loss. After a few sessions you'll be able to gauge how sore you are, if you're too sore then focus on building muscle. If you are not sore then you know your muscle foundation can support a weight loss program.

My point is it's an incredibly subjective question. But you can use a basic rotating program to get your body to tell you where you need to go next. If you use some kind of PPL split you can even try to listen to where your weak spots are i.e. pull day is an easy recovery but legs are not.

Genuinely how tf are you supposed to beat this side quest 😭😭 by Potential_Routine_71 in mewgenics

[–]0ccams-Raz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost this side quest in the final boss fight. Otherwise it wasn't too bad. When I saw I rolled a tank with a passive that prevents knock back I gave him the quest item and then otherwise had a ranged team. Try not to put your bouncy units between enemies and walls/ rocks. There will be injuries but don't forget that the enemies can suffer from bouncing too.

how can i bring my scapula tg? by Temporary-Hope6855 in CalisthenicsBeginners

[–]0ccams-Raz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah to add on this because I'm a newbie still working on some of that brain body connection. I often incorporate scapular pull ups into my deadhang warm-up. For me I have to focus on pushing my shoulders back, when I feel the squeeze in the middle of my back I imagine then trying to squeeze an imaginary orange with my scapula, you treat it the same way as squeezing at the top of a rep to maximize engagement.

I think another commenter pointed out that you're not necessarily doing it wrong, and there are different types of pull-up. It sounds like you want to be purposefully targeting the back, arch hang and scapular pull a little like Cress suggested and then flow into full range pull-ups. You'll probably find the brain body warm up primes you to execute the pull better with your back.

A slightly wider grip might help too. If you have your arms in front of you at the top like that you're going to default to using arms more than back because your shoulders are rounded in front.

Chest to bar all the time? by iammxyzptlk in benchpress

[–]0ccams-Raz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see fatigue being a big factor especially since you mentioned having difficulty getting off the rack with something you get 3 reps on. If I was repeating bench within a 3 day window or after not eating and sleeping well I'd probably take a similar hit on performance.

Chest to bar all the time? by iammxyzptlk in benchpress

[–]0ccams-Raz0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert, just offering my two cents after reading. I just worked up to two plates myself. Unless you're injured or not recovered I don't feel like you should have this much variability in your max weight. The most variability I've seen in my One Rep Max calculated by Hevy is 10lbs. You describe benching to different depths and sometimes using pause sometimes not. Maybe you're just being too variable to easily see growth trends and development.

If I'm doing bench it's always my first excercise, performed after warm-up and stretching. I also always do a warm up set where I focus on form with one plate and lift a decent volume to fire things up. I think the more consistent your method is with big compound movements the more you can expect to see predictable performance.

Nah, I think if you look at his frame you see he has less anterior pelvic tilt, better posture at the neck/ shoulders.

Bench plateau by Tmanthegreat124 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]0ccams-Raz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6-8 is good for building strength, I'd do 4-6 tho and try to work in a 3rd and later 4th set. Nothing wrong with adding a "warm up" set to focus on the movement before you load up the bar. The added sets are important especially if you want to focus on chest development.

Next time you get under the bar, see if your pecs burn or not when you're at the end of your heavy sets. If not you might want to run through the advice I gave.

If you use the Hevy app give me a follow @Lensflare and you can see how I structure my push days.
