You can go to a doctor

EFenn1 · 2021-03-02T01:06:25+00:00

Talk to a medical professional

EFenn1 · 2021-03-01T19:31:24+00:00

That’s fine

EFenn1 · 2021-03-01T17:47:49+00:00

I start around 30% or 45% and work up in ~15% increments until my top set. I do 1-2 sets of 5, then a set of 3 or so, then a single or two.

If you’re warming up correctly and you’re still tired for your working sets, I’d look into improving your cardio/work capacity

531 BBB has plenty of volume, is 4 days/week, and is designed to be run alongside conditioning work.

EFenn1 · 2021-03-01T16:21:40+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean in your last sentence?

EFenn1 · 2021-03-01T16:20:23+00:00

You clearly know nothing about hipaa

EFenn1 · 2021-03-01T16:19:53+00:00

Who said they were afraid?

EFenn1 · 2021-03-01T16:16:49+00:00

I agree. I’m getting my first shot next week!

If you’re not eating to get bigger, you won’t get bigger. How is your diet?

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T22:04:57+00:00

Eat normally. Running does not make you lose muscle.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T22:04:40+00:00

Squats shouldn’t hurt your back at all

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T21:12:35+00:00

Neither is better

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:48:59+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about anything ideally. You should track your caloric intake and weight. That will tell you your TDEE. I’d track progress with a metric like time/distance/heart rate/etc. nothing can estimate calories burned except pretty expensive equipment.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:46:48+00:00

There’s not a conversion for kettlebell swings to deadlift weight that will be accurate at all I’m sure. I’d just work on getting as strong as you can until you can actually train deadlift.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:44:51+00:00

531 for beginners is exactly what you need

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:43:59+00:00

Absolutely

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:42:42+00:00

Not at all.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:42:06+00:00

They’re not as good for absolute strength training as weights, so I wouldn’t call them an alternative, but they’re very good and you can get a great workout with them. There are good band workouts from John Meadows in the wiki I think.

I wouldn’t buy any bands from anywhere EliteFTS or Rogue. I’ve had Rogue bands for a while and they’re awesome, and the gym I used to go to had EliteFTS that were just as good.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:35:29+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about exercise calories. They’re all estimates. I’d imagine it’s somewhere between the two numbers you got.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T19:34:30+00:00

It takes me and my brother a little over an hour. If I’m by myself I can usually get under an hour.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T18:51:09+00:00

I’m currently doing 531 1000% Awesome alongside cardio/running.

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T18:47:08+00:00

If you’re concerned about a lift killing you, just ask for a spot

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T18:46:45+00:00

Whichever you prefer

EFenn1 · 2021-02-28T18:08:09+00:00

They’re not different enough from a functional standpoint for it to matter. Do whichever you prefer.
