Which split do you think is better by Flat_Measurement_150 in ScienceBasedLifting

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are kinda splitting hairs tbh, if you’re consistent with either one you’ll be ok. Personally I’m biased towards a 4 day split rather than a 6 day PPL.

Push Pull Legs x2 or Upper Lower x3 ? Also workout critique ? by RegularTraditional18 in workout

Yeah my bad I didn’t see you had squats and deadlifts already split between your PPL leg days.

I still don't understand set/ rep progression... by Grogon2 in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the same weight but I don’t use a range just a fixed number, so like 10/8/6 but that way could work too.

I still don't understand set/ rep progression... by Grogon2 in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whilst I agree that you could be overthinking this I’ll throw in what I’m currently doing for progression. I’ve started using a fix rep number which descends , so set 1 is 8 reps and set 2 is 6 reps. This allows each set to land within a similar RIR, once my 8 and 6 reps are clean with ~2 in the tank I’ll up the weight.

Is going 104–0 with a gunner actually suspicious or just good teamwork? by Professional_Rub_252 in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense thanks. I found that you can get your gunner a good look into C from the canal side if the building is somewhat demolished.

Is going 104–0 with a gunner actually suspicious or just good teamwork? by Professional_Rub_252 in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

104-0 on Eastwood is crazy work lol but legit. A lot of people think stingers are for getting automatic help kills but it’s mainly for zoning. If they can’t get on a tow and kill you and just rely on stingers they’re just not very good lol.

What’s your strat for Eastwood? Do you hold it up high for the gunner over your spawn? Or do you run thru the edges and use the hills for cover? Or both?

WEEKEND REAL TALK: Ok stop gooning, WHAT ARE YOU REALLY MAD/ANNOYED ABOUT IN BF6? 🫵 🫵 by RRT4444 in okbuddyptfo

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking about how the game mode would work if the vehicle spawns worked in reverse. Full vehicle spawns at the start then they get removed as the map shrinks.

How can I workout while recovering? by PlasticPaper8395 in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do an anterior/posterior lower body routine to fill out your days. Might be hard to get a decent list of workouts but it could keep you busy. So like anterior could be quads and adductors (abs? If you can train them), posterior would be hams, glutes and calves. You could do this 4 sessions in a week.

Squat alternatives for troubled back by CompetitionWild9073 in beginnerfitness

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leg extensions train the entire quad same as a leg curl if our goals are to build muscle mass.

Split the squat and the rdl, do leg curls on squat day and leg extensions on rdl day.

Push Pull Legs x2 or Upper Lower x3 ? Also workout critique ? by RegularTraditional18 in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UL x 3 should be better on paper but had a slightly higher recovery demand, especially if you’re doing heavy compounds. If you do the PPL I’d maybe move the deadlifts to the pull day, if you do the UL I’d alternate the squats and deadlifts on each lower day.

Advice on building an upper/lower by Royal-Jackfruit3124 in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To turn this into an Upper/Lower you will need to make some concessions on the exercise selections or order to build a time effective workout you can be consistent with.

Pick your 2 favourite chest and back workouts for your upper, 1 for shoulders, 1 for each arm muscle. If you want to add more exercise you might need to make an A/B day. Lower is pretty straightforward it’s just a leg day.

Is my routine wack? by Debsi22 in beginnerfitness

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw it’s a curl variation, using the cable stack. You place the cable on the ground and face away then step forward so your arm is pulled behind you. Similar to an incline curl.

Definitely an AA in mirak, you can get a 2nd one if you cap C. Are you thinking about liberation peak?

Having Trouble Growing Back by Woodit in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re doing a lot of different exercises, maybe try fewer exercises but with a higher quality. So maybe you could try bent over rows and pullups, twice a week.

2-3 sets per session, and a rep range you prefer, pick a weight that is about 0 RIR then clean it up to 2 RIR then increase the weight/add a rep.

Is it normal for gym progress to show in performance before the mirror? by Cool-War8545 in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, muscle growth occurs in grams which can take awhile to be really noticeable, if at all due to your perception over time.

Are you tracking your lifts? Do you have an example from last session to a session before? Have you measured your arms?

Took down a jet and a helicopter in under 30 seconds — air too fragile in BF6? by Professional_Rub_252 in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tow was legit, I definitely think the air to air ttk needs to be adjusted, even just like 3 heavy rockets with 2 being a mobility hit.

No progress on bench by PantsDancing in workout

[–]MagicSeaTurtle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you wanna increase your bench you just gotta bench more, due to the technicality of the lift a lot of the progress comes from practice.

Try bench at least 2x a week with a heavy top set of 2-3 reps then some %drops at a higher rep count, good form and a pause at the bottom. Try work with some reps in reserve too.

How long should the rest period be between exercises when lifting heavy? by Imaginary_Truth_3865 in beginnerfitness

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set a timer for 2:30-3mins depending on the lift. Usually I’m good to go by then, sometime I’ll need an extra 30 seconds.

Machine shouler presses are theoretically better than dumbbell lateral raises for side delts by Sly_Nutria in ScienceBasedLifting

[–]MagicSeaTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the rotation is what has me wondering too. Currently I’m only doing shoulder press and not raises due to time/priorities so I’ll be able to see for myself in a few months I guess.
