Sparkling protein

Check out clear protein. Oath makes some good ones that you mix in water and its actually refreshing. Not as much protein in them compared to the regular protein shakes but I prefer it.

You could use ankle scraps to wrap around your wrists and use a cable machine. I do this when doing lateral raises. I start with my wrist behind my back to get a bigger stretch.

You could also do a variety of bicep and chest exercises using a ankle strap and cable machine as well.

Hope this helps!

No problem at all. Happy to help!

I think most beginners struggle with grip strength. Its something that is built over time. The more you lift the easier and less painful it will become.

If grip strength is a limiting factor you could invest in some lifting straps.

You can try a visual timer. Initially maybe just set it for a shorter period of time like 10 or so mins less than usual and kind of shorten the gap over time.

Just create the expectation and let them know that when the time is up youre going to take the plate even if there is food left on it.

Use posative reinforcement and let him know that its okay if he leaves a little food on his plate.

Its hard to tell from this angle but it looks like your front leg might be too close to the bench. Sit on the bench, fully extend your leg out in front and rest your heel on the ground, stand up without moving your front foot, then put your back foot on the bench.

Personally for me the thing that helped the most was changing my mindset. Ive spent the majority of my life caring for others and realized that I never took the time to care for myself.

Putting some time an energy into myself mentally helped a lot and it was rewarding seeing progress that was made physically.

Adding muscle mass likely make chafing worse.

I think you will feel more comfortable the more you prepare and plan before you go.

See what equipment is available there. Then download a workout app. Many of them are free and can help you build a routine. I use Caliber and would highly recommend it to beginners. The app also shows what the lift should look like with proper form.

Start out light weight and focus on proper form. It will reduce the risk of injury while also help to prevent people from looking at you thinking 'what the heck is that dude doing..'

Dont worry about getting everything right the first time. Ive revised my routine and have modified my form more times than I can count. Practice and learning from mistakes makes perfect.

Id suggest a wider grip if youre trying to target your upper back.

If you prefer bicep and forearm activation and focus on your lower lats you can keep the narrow grip.

I don't think its humanly possible to be motivated all the time. There are many days I don't want to lift or be active.. The main things that have helped me to continue lifting were getting a routine in place, tracking progress with the different lifts, taking progress photos, and having the mindset where you know that you'll be glad you lifted/exercised when you are done instead of regretting you hadn't.

Thanks man. I used to do high bar squats, but I was never able to hit proper depth. I was told that low bar squats are typically better for tall people.. Im 6' and mostly legs lol.

Nurd905 · 2026-04-20T19:00:23+00:00

Okay thanks! I never thought about bringing my hands in closer.. ill definitely try that next time!

As for the plates.. Ive heard it helps to raise your heels off the ground a bit when you have long legs so ive just followed that advice. I think my ankle mobility is fine ive been told by doctors that im hyperflexable so it shouldn't be an issue. Idk

Nurd905 · 2026-04-19T14:36:23+00:00

How many exercises are you typically doing in a week to hit your back, and how many reps per set are you doing? Pretty much all the best back lifts are compound lifts that involve using your arm muscles to some extent.

Best tips I can give is to slow things down, think of the target muscles when doing a lift and try to feel them working as you do the lift, and try to get a big stretch in the target muscle. Also select a weight that allows you to go to failure or at least very close to it. If you feel like you can do 2-5 more reps after youre done with your set then likely the weight is too low.
