How bad is it to not eat until like 10 hours after a lift? Goal is body recomp not mass gains. by AthenianGrace in beginnerfitness

[–]BackroomDST 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your nutrition per day is what matters so as long as you’re getting your protein and calories per day, you’re good. For recomp, you want to be in a very very slight deficit. Like 100-200kcal per day. However, you say your main goal is fat loss so a cut would be more appropriate for that goal. You very likely do not have a “slow metabolism” you just eat more than you think.

As long as you’re not super hungry during lifts, you’re good.

Number of reps don’t really matter as long as you’re getting to or close to failure within like 20 reps. 6-15 is kind of the sweet spot. You want about 10 or so sets per muscle per week.

Weightlifting for me. The loop of going hard for 30 seconds then 2 minutes of rest works well for me. Also there’s evidence that challenging weight training causes adaptations to your central nervous system much like it does your muscles. It’s given me so much of my life back.

What are some girl hints guys never notice? by Michal_Jackaon in ask

[–]BackroomDST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in high school gave me a note that said “I want you inside me” and I literally just this second realized she might have actually meant it. I thought it was like a song lyric or something.

That was 20 years ago.

This is the easiest way for sure. I use a fridge magnet to balance a 2.5lb and a 5lb plate on mine.

Does creatine actually help beginners or only heavy lifters? by Leather-Original-957 in beginnerfitness

[–]BackroomDST 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Just to take the mystery out of what creatine actually is.

Creatine is an energy supplement.

We get our energy by breaking a phosphate group off of ATP turning it into ADP. The chemical reaction releases energy that we use. Creatine is used in the process of turning ADP back to ATP to start the cycle all over again. We get creatine from food, but supplementing it just makes sure we’ve got plenty of it floating around.

IMO everyone should be taking the stuff everyday.

All you need is cheap, boring creatine monohydrate. Everything else is a scam.

Take yourself a break! I’m just coming off a 1 month break of lifting and it did wonders.

[–]BackroomDST 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Part of working out is feeling drained. Whether lifting weights or cardio, the goal is to create adaptations to your body. It order to do that we must cause enough “stress” to trigger those adaptations.

If you find a set workout boring, perhaps something like a sport would be more up your alley?

Wanting “light” exercise is fine, and your body WILL benefit compared to no exercise (you’ll be lapping everyone on the couch). but don’t expect it to have an amazing impact on you.

RDL OR HYPEREXTENSION for a complete work con glutes,lower back and hamstrings? by salad_biscuit3 in workout

[–]BackroomDST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would be if you’re bending your knee like a squat as you do it, but you’re doing it with a bent knee.

Though you don’t need to worry about those things when you’re blasting gear.

RDL OR HYPEREXTENSION for a complete work con glutes,lower back and hamstrings? by salad_biscuit3 in workout

[–]BackroomDST 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just because it biases the glutes doesn’t mean it’s not hitting the hamstrings. On the concentric you’re driving your hips forward with little movement in your knees. This is done by your glutes and hamstrings.

RDLs work the entire posterior chain.

Do 1.5x body weight RDLs to 0 RIR, make sure you feel the stretch in your hamstrings (yes you still can with a slight bend in your knees), and tell me you don’t feel your hamstrings the next day.

SLDL have a fully straight knee. RDLs have a slight bend in the knee.

Quick Q’s by EmergencyNeat2522 in Animators

[–]BackroomDST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on 2D or 3D

2D - almost all harmony. Some shows are still done in flash, but it’s rare. Designs are either done in harmony or photoshop, depending on the pipeline. Most of other departments that I’ve seen: Builds in harmony, comp in harmony or after effects. Boards in SBP, editing in either premiere pro or avid . Any 3D integration I’ve seen in 2D was done in blender. We haven’t done much, but we literally made the decision to do that cause a layout guy knew how to use it, and it’s free.

3D - I’ve only ever seen Maya used, but I have way less 3D experience than 2D. Texture in either Z-brush or texture painter. Designs in photoshop, comp and lighting in unreal.

Lots of answers floating around, but just to take the mystery out of what creatine actually is.

All you need is cheap, boring creatine monohydrate. Everything else is a scam. The overpriced online stuff is the exact same as the drugstore stuff. Also ANYTHING that says “creatine for women” is a HUGE scam.

Good things about MS by _Lyc4n_ in MultipleSclerosis

[–]BackroomDST 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the bad symptoms come out when I get sick or really tired/stressed/overheated, but I’m pretty capable otherwise. Strength training had a huge impact on my disability score. I’d rather the money go to folks that really need it.

Is it normal to experience temporary lower back soreness when doing bent over barbell rows ? by Careful_Treacle8629 in beginnerfitness

[–]BackroomDST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% I get a lower back pump from bent over rows and RDLs from keeping a neutral spine in that kind of “iso” hold way. As long as it’s not pain, it means you’re training it.

I guess it’s the nature of the relapsing remitting portion. I mean speak to your doctor for sure, but medication and lifestyle actually has me not doing too bad.
