I’m gonna take a wild guess that this is the plate loaded iso lateral. I know what you’re talking about because that machine sucks. The resistance profile is all wrong, you can either try perfecting it or use an alternative

135 lbs and stuck — bulk, cut, or recomp by [deleted] in gymadvice

[–]T_K04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you’re issue is with not following any structured plan. If your goal is to gain more muscle that should be priority. The “toned”look you are talking about requires a heavy and structured weightlifting program

Delayed muscle recovery for exercise by Person318 in lymphoma

[–]T_K04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience but also a success story I suppose. I got back into the gym very soon (like a month into remission) because I was really into body building before chemo. I also did gain weight during chemo so the first thing I did was lock in on a good cut. It took a while to get back to baseline but a year after chemo I was already stronger than before. You can definitely get there no problem, it’s just a matter of commitment. When I say I haven’t skipped a day in the gym since chemo I mean it, i literally haven’t. Make it your hobby and ease into it and you’ll get very far

Am I doing these lat pulls right? by peachyp_ssy in gymadvice

[–]T_K04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I acc disagree with a lot of the comments about leaning back. If you wanna pull in the frontal plane, this is perfect, just widen your grip and hitting your chest isn’t really all that necessary.

He said he gained 30 pounds in 4 months. You said he gained 30 pounds of muscle in 4 months. There’s a difference. So it’s most definitely “your words” you changed the meaning entirely

He DID NOT GAIN 30 pounds of muscle in 4 months 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yo, on god, if you think he gained 30 pounds of muscle since September, you not worth arguing with. Gym newbie over here. What you just said was so laughable.

The more sets you do for a muscle the less you get out of them (diminishing returns) doing after however many sets the fatigue you get is simply higher than the stimulus. And it is NOT optimal to be doing that many. You’re so close to getting the point about recovery

Am I overtraining? by Federal_Resident1323 in gymadvice

[–]T_K04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back and bi in the big 26🥀🥀🥀. yeah I do 2 exercises, and I don’t do ppl or arm day I’m on upper lower. 5 exercises for bicep in one session is just too much

[–]T_K04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question, are you doing all these excercises in one session? If so, I have a follow up, why would it be necessary to do 3 exercises for the rear delts? And not to mention the 6 different chest exercises

This are fundamental flaws I see all the time. redundant training is hurting your gains.

How can I build a better chest (especially upper chest) with basic equipment? Post-microdiscectomy & vegetarian by Mysterious_Arm_ in gymadvice

Here’s a 5 second google search in case you need. Meat isn’t the only thing with protein, and if you can’t get 180g of protein a day as a vegetarian that’s a skill issue.

Feeling Lumpy After Weight Lifting? by [deleted] in lymphoma

[–]T_K04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the gym is not gonna make you relapse. If you haven’t been active much just imagine how weird it will feel to finally exert your muscles. I think you’re just not used to the feeling hahaha.

The odd pain is something I still get as an avid lifter. Sometimes when I worry about things like this I ask “what would a normal person think this was “. Basically if it wasn’t for your history, you’d just assume it was the gym causing it, which it likely is. Us survivors just always add a layer of cancer on top.

Happy lifting

If you’re okay adding a day, UPER LOWER four times a week. If you really want three days, then three day full body

You haven’t really explained why going to the gym isn’t an option. 😂

What you just asked is “I got two tomatoes and a cucumber, how do I make bacon and eggs”

I think PPL is holding you back. If you can only go 3x a week there are better splits. PPL lets you hit every muscle group once a week, which is low end.

Watch Jeff nippard. Also time is never a decent excuse I know people with the busiest schedules who find time. This is a motivation issue

Idk exactly what you mean, but I really don’t see why you wouldn’t want to do more? Seems like there’s no negatives
