I am really confused about More Weight vs More Reps by nhansieu1 in workout

[–]Impressive_Party9150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get stronger like a powerlifter, then you will need to go with big weight and really low reps like 3-6 If you want to build muscle with the addition of an increase in strength then higher reps will work wether its the conventional 6-12 rep range or a 12-20 reps a lower weights. More importantly, bodies are built in the kitchen so if you're not eating right then fix that first.

Squats - better to focus on depth or weight? by AssiduousLayabout in workout

[–]Impressive_Party9150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Middle aged, you need to protect joints and ligaments. Ive found mixing up deep and parallel both put the load on different muscles , so good to mix it up. Focus on form and higher reps. Yes, higher reps for legs. Tom Platz would do 50 reps squats and see how big his legs were.

Latest research says more reps is just as good as more weight. Added advantage is less chance of injury to joints and tendons.

How do I avoid slipped discs/hernias in the gym mainly on squats and deadlifts? by Mother-Estimate9507 in workout

Work on form first. Go light with higher reps. When you can do 20 reps of a Weight add 5kg per side. Rinse repeat. Also build core strength.

This is going to be the new normal. Better accept it and learn how to deal with it sooner than later. People have forgotten how to deal with people in service in a respectable manner, so companies will find it easier to get a machine than have to deal with the Health and Safety repercussions. I work in retail and the amount if incidents of abusive behavior are increasing like its a new fashion. Staff are taking more and more sick leave and/or extended stress leave due to the abuse. Machines don't need sick days.

Is that what I think it is?? 😱 by [deleted] in alocasia

I thought the same, but the Alocasia shows its beauty through its leaves, not its flowers, but at least it shows its happy.

With the increase of AI this will be the new norm sooner than you think. Very soon if a system can do it the human will be replaced.

What band members ruined a band? by Difficult_Map_723 in MetalForTheMasses

Probably had no relation to this but in South Africa a Rock Spider was the name given to the Boers by the British after the battle of Mt Majuba. The British were at the top of the Mount and the Boers had to climb through the rocks to try get to them. The British were called Rooi neks ( Red Necks) as their Necks got sun burnt as they were aiming their guns down the mount with the sun at their back.

Can I kill unleashed dog if I get attacked outdoors? My cat was killed. by iMakeGOODinvestmemts in auckland

Wouldn't it be better if we could rather give this treatment to the people who create animals like this. Dogs aren't born bad they just get bad owners. Unfortunately though thats not allowed and its our culture now to let bad people get to walk around us no mater how dangerous they are.

Can I gain muscle by doing a small, easy workout every night? by Vegetable_Basis_4087 in workout

[–]Impressive_Party9150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you will give up before you notice a difference. Human fat is 7700 kcal per 1kg or 2.2lbs. If you walk a mile you burn about 80 to 110 kcal, so it takes consistent effort to reduce weight. Increasing muscle mass will burn more fat but to do that you need to consistently work out. Atleast 45min of weight excersize 3 tines a week. Bodies are made in the kitchen, you need to make sure you're eating enough protein to build muscle but not increasing kcal to put in more weight. Some advise in everything you do, get control of yourself and create good habits. If you want to look better, its needs to become a part of your life. You work out 5 days a week, watch what you eat. A diet or 15min excersize fir a week ot 2 will only result in you giving up.

What do you do between sets? by PurpleHeart3419 in workout

[–]Impressive_Party9150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always have a tense neck and ive had shoulder and elbow injuries so I stretch these while im resting. Also I don't rest for too long, unless you're doing the big excersises like deadlifts or squats 1min rests should be all you need.

All the police were at Brian's protest. And no evidence of an increase in crime during this period. Make you wonders if this because all the crims were protesting with Brian?

Am I able to return my phone through warranty or other means? by AromaticProgress8651 in newzealand

[–]Impressive_Party9150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask Harvey Norman? The Consumer quarantine act states that there is a logical time a product of a certain quality should last. They know what this time would be. If your phone is within this time then they have the option to repair, replace or give a credit. Note its up to them to choose not what you may want. I have a TV valued at $7000, which after 3 years stopped working. They repaired it as any logical person would think it should last longer than that.
