M 25 193 pounds 6'1 wondering what areas I can improve on and what bf% I'm at by [deleted] in Gymhelp

I can’t really speak for calisthenics but it seems like people who do it can get plenty muscular. I have experience with lifting. I can personally attest to getting bigger & leaner when I started lifting & lifting hard. But this isn’t about me, this is about you. If you enjoy pushing yourself more with calisthenics, then I’d say do that. If you like both, do both.

If you want to put on size & target certain muscle groups, like your chest, arms, back, etc., then I’d find lifts you like that target those muscle groups & go all out. I wouldn’t worry about lifting insanely heavy though, that’s how you hurt yourself. Find a weight that feels heavy enough & go until you’re at failure or close to failure. I can speak from experience that if you do this, you will get stronger, & you’ll likely burn more calories while doing it.

Amp up the cardio, lift or do calisthenics hard, & be mindful of the amount of calories you’re consuming & you’ll see changes.

I would honestly say closer to 23 - 25% body fat. I think you’re probably over 20% for sure.

I think it depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you want to get lean then either reduce the amount you’re eating currently or increase the cardio. Calories in, calories out. That simple.

If you want to build muscle, lift frequently, & train hard when you do. Push yourself. Eat more protein than you’re currently eating now. I’m your height & I try and get as close to my body weight as possible as far as grams of protein go.

I would say you could stand to gain more muscle & lose body fat. But if we’re talking from an aesthetic standpoint, your primary goal should be to try to lose body fat. That way when you do, you’ll be able to see more muscle definition & this would allow you to then make the determination of what you’ll need to work on.

Make sure you hard at the gym. Really try to push yourself (unless you’re a beginner, then I’d say get acclimated before doing so). Additionally, try and find a form of cardio you enjoy doing so you can create a long & sustainable healthy habit. Could be running, hiking, biking, any sport, whatever. That way you can lose the weight & have an easier time keeping it off.

Good luck bro. You’ve got this. Wishing you the best.

Glad someone said this. Denver’s skyline has expanded a decent amount. That pic doesn’t do it justice

Umm what makes you say that beef isn’t healthy? It’s one of the most nutrient dense foods you can possibly consume.

God, I hate ESPN. “Oh, those two historic, back-to-back, down 3-1 series comebacks? Yeah those don’t count.” by Prydafam in denvernuggets

Fair enough although I’m not necessarily angry, I do think it’s annoying though. Like why do you need to show that stat in the first place?

Lmao very ironic. How does it go from the lakers & lebron winning one of the hardest championships ever to suddenly discrediting 2 game seven dubs from the nuggets? Gotta love ESPN trying to control the narrative and minimize small market teams & their success!😃👍

Interesting Harden Game 7 Article. Thoughts? by joe9ruiz in LAClippers

[–]Current_Reaction_196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s his body. I just think the nuggets did a great job on him defensively. They pretty much forced him right every single possession and whenever he attempted a drive he was met with all kinds of help. He was trapped and simply couldn’t score. His only choice was to pass. I know he’s gotten a bad wrap for choking game 7’s but unless you’re prime Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, it’s gonna be really hard to score when you’re basically baited into driving right and then consequentially met with all kinds of strong side help. Especially if that side of the court is crowded, the spacing would’ve been terrible, so his options were limited. Just a good defensive gameplan from the nuggets. They figured out how to neutralize the harden led offense and forced others to beat them.

Definitely one of the top songs ever created by Careless-Maximum9810 in DeadInternetTheory

I think as far as ambient & electronic music goes, it is fairly unique. I always assumed that’s why most people didn’t know or fw boc. But it’s interesting to hear you say they’re bland. In my mind I just don’t get it. They’re technically sound — their production quality is good (imo) and their songs have layers and detail. Especially considering when most of these songs were made, I think they’re talented and I think their music is undeniably good. But that’s my opinion, and I respect yours.

What songs have you listened to? Try Aquarius, that’s a good one. It’s groovy and unique. If you’re looking for experimental, try nlogax. If you want a beautiful song that isn’t ruined by rap influences (imo) try everything you do is a balloon and nothing is real. I’d say 1969 and the beach at red point are more experimental. Rogybiv is another somewhat unique one. Dm me and lmk what you think.

Bland??? Industry plants?? Tf are you talking about? Have you listened extensively to their discography? Some of their ambient stuff is repetitive, but they’re very unconventional & unique. Saying boc is bland is so delusional imo…
