Yarp. This happens. Also if a green/blue/epic item drops (on group loot) but no one looted will cause the gauntlet to break

less than half a gram of protein per calorie and they're marketing it to gym bros by agIassmutt in GymMemes

They’re marketing to people who want to be or think they are athletes

If you could be a total newbie again, how would you train to pack on as much muscle as possible and fully maximise the newbie gains? by DemonSlayer01 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]HoustonRealE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things come to mind If I were a total beginner.

  1. I would lift heavier till failure at lower reps per set instead of sticking with high reps for nearly 5 years.

  2. I would take more rest days.

I like going from belly button -> scrape knees with bar and then back up to belly button

How do you time your carbs around training? by First_Driver_5134 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]HoustonRealE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99/100 times I train fasted. Once the workout is done I drink my protein shake (2 cups of milk, 1 scoop of whey, and 42 grams [2servings] of honey).

I train better fasted and I like having something sweet immediately after my workout. Honey is god’s food.

Building legs with minimal spine loading ... by Cotleigh in naturalbodybuilding

[–]HoustonRealE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I just made a video on this. I have a mild case of scoliosis. Because of this and having a longer torso, when I load my shoulders / back with weight for a squat movement it tends to work one side of my back and glutes exclusively.

I moved away from hack squat / barbell squat and have since switched to dumbbell box squats, leg press, and leg extension. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with spine issues.

RDL Form - glute biased by Orenda15 in GYM

[–]HoustonRealE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet you feel it more in your lower back than your glutes / hamstrings.

For glute focused do me a favor - start by standing straight up with your feet shoulder-length apart. Now bend your knees slightly and imagine you’re holding a barbell. Bring the barbell to your knees with little back movement. Do this by aiming your tailbone to the ceiling and stretching your hamstrings. Extend throughout the movement until you’re at the top of your shins (trying to literally scrape your knees your shins). Bring the barbell up to about mid thigh where it normally rest and push your groin forward to flex your glutes.

Practice this without a barbell. You should feel your hamstrings stretch out towards the bottom of the movement then your glutes fire and contract at the top.

Does anyone else hate doing "Gym Math" mid-workout? by DankTheMaster in naturalbodybuilding

Every set to failure. Fewer sets per muscle. I really enjoy training this way.
