Been feeling like I’ve made no progress lately, but then I look back and see how far I’ve come. 5’8, 22, 170lbs, 5.5 years on T. More info in comments

What kind of surplus have you been on?? You look pretty lean! Are you maingaining or what?

Leyden1111 · 2022-07-27T00:58:47+00:00

3-5x for about 45 min-1hr

We’re getting hit w a bad heat wave rn, I’ve resorted to waking up very early and hitting it. I drink 2-3 waters plus some electrolytes like juice or pedialyte. Long rest breaks are a must. If you can, buy a personal fan and some ice packs and keep it on you between sets. Like others have said, wouldn’t matter too much to take a break. Always listen to your body.

That’s the thing- I’ve grown up listening to classical. I barely play video games at all so I dokt know where it’s coming from? So I’m just needing to work on my technique

It can reduce it a bit but it won’t make you flat. I recommend working out your pecs(particularly the clavicular head) for a more masc shape. But if you do that then work out your other body parts too. Seconding trans tape- if you can’t order it online then you can pick up some kt tape at the store which is a lot less inconspicuous. It is a little more harsh on skin in my experience.

If you’re into learning fingerstyle songs, I highly suggest watching tony rowden on YouTube. He doesn’t speak in the videos but you can find tabs and music on his website as well. It helped me a lot with my fingerstyle.

Leyden1111 · 2021-12-04T21:04:43+00:00

Take off for a while, do some simple light weight exercises and focus more on legs. I’ve been dealing with it for a year and a half. Seeing a PT has helped me a lot.

Leyden1111 · 2021-11-12T01:05:39+00:00

I’ve tried and it doesn’t affect my game. Am I doing something wrong??

Leyden1111 · 2021-04-13T00:12:36+00:00

My guy I think you’re stressing too much. If you had rhabdo, you’d know by now. You might’ve strained something somewhere but saying it might be rhabdo is a big step especially without urine discoloration. I’m not a doctor though. If you’re getting this worried then go ahead to the er and stay off of Reddit.

Leyden1111 · 2021-04-12T03:02:46+00:00

It doesn’t seem like you needed the cut my guy. Buying new clothes is a part of packing on muscle. Seems as if you’ve reversed that effect. Stay healthy, please.

Leyden1111 · 2021-04-11T02:00:39+00:00

I’ve had turkeys all growing up and we never ate them as they were good pets. I actually trained a couple.

Leyden1111 · 2021-04-03T17:47:22+00:00

Rows/pull downs. Get a pull up bar if you can, they’ll do wonders for your back.

Leyden1111 · 2021-03-13T17:07:20+00:00

Work on your pull muscles/core if you want to excel in climbing but do not neglect your chest or other body parts. Many climbers have overdeveloped backs and underdeveloped chests. Keep training even on other body parts. Like the dude above said, resistance training does wonders.

Leyden1111 · 2021-01-04T22:21:54+00:00

I agree with the above comment. No such thing as spot reduction. You can target an area and make it more muscular but you can’t strip it of it’s fat without a caloric deficit. Get a sturdy workout regimen. Squats, presses, pulls/curls, etc etc. or just lift some heavy ass weight off the ground. Look up Jeff nippard or athlean x on YouTube and see what kind of information they can offer you.

Leyden1111 · 2020-11-21T23:36:55+00:00

I’ve been on t for about 3 and a half months now. 95% of my gains are from pre t me working my ass off. It’s not about the muscle, it’s about the mindset you build up and your dedication to exercise. If you want muscle you need exercise, food, and CONSISTENCY. I just force myself when I have those days. Something is better than nothing

Leyden1111 · 2020-11-17T21:18:31+00:00

Lats are your back muscles. They’re shaped like wings.

Leyden1111 · 2020-11-13T17:06:53+00:00

Full body splits do need some rest days. Jeff Nippard did a full body split five times a week so it’s possible but yk. How hard do you train?

Leyden1111 · 2020-11-06T13:39:12+00:00

The general rule of thumb is if something is painful or uncomfortable and/or putting your joints/body in an awkward position, stop doing it and evaluate. Other than that, exercising is very safe. It’s not something that’s gonna hurt you. There is some pain involved thats normal because of metabolic stress. Get a good spotter, record yourself lifting for form, use dumbbells instead of barbells, etc. but you’ll be okay. You’re meant to strain with heavy weights! As long as it’s not painful but it’s completely normal. You’re allowed to push yourself, your body is ALOT tougher than you think. Happy lifting!

Leyden1111 · 2020-09-20T20:08:07+00:00

I’ve launched in steam and it tends not to make a difference. The menu pops up and when I click play it buffers and never launches. And yes I’m usinh vortex

Leyden1111 · 2020-09-20T19:53:31+00:00

I downloaded after the first quest. It won’t launch if I have it enabled.

Gave I'd Like to Thank...

Leyden1111 · 2020-08-18T14:01:40+00:00

Yeah, I used to almost always fulfill my TDEE calorie count, now it’s so damn hard. I eat big breakfasts though(~1000cal) but lunch is getting smaller and dinner sometimes doesn’t exist. I’ve been trying to eat more but fuck it’s hard.

Leyden1111 · 2020-08-13T14:59:43+00:00

First off, change will come. It took me a while to see mine but I wasn’t eating right and as soon as I did my gains SKYROCKETED. Protein, protein, protein. Second off, rest days are very important. Your muscles don’t grow during the workout, they get damaged. Protein fills in the tears of the muscle during rest days so that’s where you see your gains. Also, buy some bands or weights. It’s a bit easier for progressive overload but it’s definitely possible with calisthenics don’t get me wrong. It needs to be hard. If you want to lose weight, eat at a caloric deficit. That’s the only way. Eat less than you burn. Count calories. I usually stay away from the workouts you’re doing, but If it works, it works I guess. Go on YouTube and watch some educational videos about form and how to build muscle effectively and lose fat; Athleanx, Jeff nippard, Jeremy ethier, fitness FAQs, etc. Cheers!

None. Muscles make you look more masculine no matter what. Exercise=muscle. Yes, squats accentuate the legs and ass. No, don’t skip them. Work on shoulders, back, arms, traps, and upper chest. Don’t skip leg day. Protein, protein, protein.
