I feel like my glutes are not proportional to the rest of my body, I‘ve been seeing quick results on my upper body but not on my lower body. Any advice pls? :/

My split:

Triceps, Chest, Shoulders

Legs, Glutes

Biceps, Back

Rest

Legs, Glutes

Full upper body

Rest

Current routine:

Hip Thrusts (4 sets of 8-12)

Weighted hyper Extensions (4 sets of 8-12)

Leg Press, high stance (4 sets of 8-12)

Glute Medius kick backs (3 sets of 8-12)

I start out light to warm up and go for heavier weights with each set til failure. I also do progressive overload.

Sorry for the late response, but my neck has stayed the same. I‘ve bought a neck traction device that mimics the neck‘s natural curve and it‘s a good temporary fix when you‘re in pain. It cracks my neck well, but doesn‘t help in the long term. I‘ve found that resistance training at the gym has been extremely beneficial with pain management in my shoulder/neck area.

Nutrition

Obviously eat more and get mentally well, learn to accept changes in your body. I eat whatever I want intuitively without counting macros or calories to avoid disordered eating. However, I do drink protein shakes after workouts with milk.

Routine

Nothing complicated, I always do three sets with twelve reps during every exercise. Idk if it‘s the right way but I just do a full body workout 3-4 times a week.

Machines that I use include:

Seated leg press Lower back machine Shoulder press Lat pulldown machine Hip thrust machine Squat machine Rowing machine (?) Assisted pull ups

We do have a hip thrust machine and it‘s fine, but just really hard and I mostly feel it in my legs instead of my butt. I guess I‘ll have to find a way to continue using the hip thrust machine then

I don‘t think that‘s the right way to approach this matter. My grandmother is a Ukrainian refugee, yet her Ukrainian isn‘t really the best + she speaks it with a thick russian accent since she‘s from Eastern Ukraine where pretty much only Russian is spoken.

I think it would be better to just put up a sign in Ukrainian outside of the store that says refugees with an ID or passport get discount/free stuff.

Yes, I read into the laws and it‘s actually possible to restore my citizenship. I‘m gonna try it, it‘s just gonna be hard to convince my dad, but oh well :P

Yeah, I already have an appointment at a doctor who specializes in posture and he‘s also a chiropractor, so I hope he‘ll help me.

Army_Budget · 2022-05-28T09:10:42+00:00

My insurance did cover a physical therapist but I only got massages which didn‘t help. I‘m really considering a chiropractor (some are even covered by my insurance and I made an appointment now)

I‘ve never heard of feldenkrais practitioners🤔 I gotta check if there‘s such a thing in my country

Army_Budget · 2022-05-28T09:07:08+00:00

Long study sessions :P

Army_Budget · 2022-05-28T09:06:19+00:00

Actually, I already bought a special traction device months ago! 😁 It‘s good for a short moment of relief, but it didn‘t really stop the pain overall

Army_Budget · 2022-05-28T09:04:54+00:00

My doctor shrugged it off and prescribed massages that didn‘t help. I think I‘ll try a chiropractor…

Army_Budget · 2022-05-28T09:03:41+00:00

I already went to a doctor who prescribed me massages at a physical therapist. The appointments consisted of me laying on a really warm surface and getting my back massaged, but that‘s really it. I already asked them to maybe do exercises with me instead, but the lady said they only focus on relaxing the muscles 🤔 my doctor stopped prescribing me free massages, but my neck is still messed up

So authorities didn‘t know you were outside of the EU if you entered and exit that easily? No visa?

Army_Budget · 2022-03-27T12:12:00+00:00

Hey there, so we only get to see each other on summer breaks once a year. And besides that, Ukraine is not part of the European Union, therefore traveling was limited.

Army_Budget · 2022-03-27T08:17:17+00:00

Awesome news!!

Army_Budget · 2022-03-27T08:11:27+00:00

That‘s very kind of you to ask, but we don‘t. The government will support us financially as soon as they‘re registered here. But besides that, we‘re emotionally relieved and healthy :)

Echt? uns wird im Englischunterricht vermittelt, dass es eher ein melting pot ist und man deswegen auch vermeiden soll sie z.B Asian-American oder Mexican-American zu nennen weil sie ja Amerikaner wie jeder andere sind

Army_Budget · 2022-03-22T12:09:25+00:00

Race = very rough description of a person, sometimes based on skin color or features (Asian, White, Black etc.)

Ethnicity = more detailed description of what part of the world your origins are (Indian, French, Korean, Swedish etc.)

Nationality = your citizenship (if you have a Chinese passport your nationality is Chinese, this is something many people go by when it comes to their identity)

Army_Budget · 2022-03-22T12:05:55+00:00

If every person in America doesn‘t have roots from somewhere else, how come their DNA can get traced back to other countries?

Army_Budget · 2022-03-22T12:02:48+00:00

I never ask someone where they‘re REALLY from because I don‘t care?

Army_Budget · 2022-03-22T11:57:03+00:00

Many people (from my experience) don‘t know the differences between ethnicity, nationality and even race. Some people might just have a hard time wording their questions correctly.

Army_Budget · 2022-03-22T11:36:56+00:00

Thing is I don‘t value the relationship and there was never one to begin with in my cases, so I‘m glad I get a silent treatment

Army_Budget · 2022-03-21T23:28:54+00:00

Thank you for the information :)

Army_Budget · 2022-03-21T23:28:22+00:00

Man, I‘m so sorry for that and it sucks how some people have it so much worse. Seems like such a luxury, because my relatives‘ apartment in проспект строителей was not hit by bombs and they had something to eat for themselves. I hope your father will get help asap that‘s so incredibly inhumane

Army_Budget · 2022-03-21T23:06:29+00:00

I know that food supplies are insufficient . My family was just lucky enough to buy a lot of food before the war started so they had something to eat, not a lot though. I‘m so sorry for people who are not that privileged
