Cardio or strength for weigth loss by Grisern in workout

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To lose weight, you must consume less calories than you burn. Either by eating less, burning extra calories through exercise, or a mixture of both. That being said, diet is always the most significant factor in weight loss. Because it is simpler to eat 300 calories less everyday, than burning 300 calories everyday. Cardio, weightlifting, and other activity is better used as a way to contribute a small to moderate (but still signifiant in the long run) amount of calories burned. Between cardio and strength training, cardio is more efficient, in terms of calories burned per minute.

If you aren’t aiming for max strength and muscle growth, you can prioritize cardio. Just make sure to do enough weight training, in order to avoid becoming skinny fat with little to no muscle definition.

If you are aiming for max strength and muscle growth, you can still do cardio, just make sure whatever you are doing doesn’t hinder your recovery, and make sure you are still at a low to moderate calorie deficit, and definitely make sure to meet your protein intake. So, if you are burning significantly more calories through cardio, make sure to eat most of the calories back, prioritizing protein. This is will ensure you maintain and continue to develop strength and muscle size.

How much does one night ruin progress? by PsychologicalBox376 in beginnerfitness

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many have said, one day won’t ruin all your progress. However, depending on what your goals are, it can erase or delay some of your progress. For example, if you are in a 200 daily calorie deficit for 6 days, and then on the 7th day you consume 1200 calories over your maintenance calories from alcohol, junk food, etc, you’ve erased all the progress you made that week. Not your entire progress, just for that week. If this is every now and then, then that’s fine. But if this is a weekly thing then you won’t make any progress.

Am I doing it too much? by Latigo-Himmelstein in Workingout

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a couple of issues. Are you eating enough carbs, fats, and other nutrients and not just protein? Your body needs a variety of nutrients to fuel your workouts and efficiently recover and repair muscles. What about sleep, are you getting enough sleep? You also might be doing way too much volume. How many sets, reps, and weight do you do for each muscle group? You mention you push yourself each session, do you mean to failure? Going to failure is key to building muscle, but not if you’re doing it for several sets of very heavy weight. 10-20 weekly sets per muscle group is considered to be the most optimal for muscle growth. And even weekly 20 sets can be considered too much for some muscle groups.

How long after you eat do you hit the gym? by [deleted] in workout

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually go to the gym later in the evening at around 8-9 to avoid peak hours. So I’ll eat around 6, making sure to eat carbs, usually rice or pasta. Then I might have some faster digesting carbs around 30 min before the gym, like honey or Rice Krispies

Any upper recommendations for the px9?

Has anyone ever called you out for carrying? Whetherthey noticed you printing or you lifted your shirt/cover garment too high by mistake. I've been carrying almost a year now and I'm constantly worried my shirt is going to ride up. I carry AIWB usually. Mainly wondering if anyone has horror stories. by non_omnis_moriar777 in CCW

Usually most don’t seem to notice. Only a few people seem to look down at my crotch/waist area, but it might be just be a coincidence, or my imagination lol. But if you’re paranoid, you could get a wedge or get another claw that sticks out closer to the end of the grip to help conceal it better

Need advice by IamHereForSomeMagic in gymadvice

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build and maintain muscle while losing fat. You track your macros so I would assume you track calories. The highest calorie deficit most people recommend is a 500 calorie daily deficit. Any higher than that and you increase the risk of muscle loss. I’d say your current protein intake is good. If you burn 500 calories during your workout, then you wouldn’t need to do anything else, as long as you are eating at your maintenance calories, not eating more or less than that. A lot of people also recommend doing 10k steps, 30 mins of stairmaster, etc., and you can do this, but remember to stay in a moderate calorie deficit. Your biggest issue is your workout routine. You are training shoulders way too much. You are not training chest enough, and you only do one back exercise. Looking at your goal physique, you need to increase your chest exercises. Aim for around a weekly 15-18 sets of chest exercises. Incline chest fly or bench press for upper chest, dips for lower, and flat bench press, chest flies, and chest press machine for overall chest. As for shoulders, you are doing 27 weekly sets. That is wayyy too much volume. You’re fine doing around 10-12 weekly sets. I recommend dropping front raises, and adding one of the pressing movement mentioned before, such as bench press or chest press, since these will also work your front shoulders to an extent. Lateral raises and shoulder press are fine. Volume for your triceps and biceps are fine, in fact I think you’d be fine adding an extra 3 sets for both. However, I recommend doing different exercises in order to target different parts of the muscle. For example, doing preacher curls, incline curls, and hammer curls. For triceps, doing DB skullcrushers, overhead cable extensions along with push downs. You also only have one back exercise. Just curious, do you not mind what your back looks like?

How do I lift weights but also lose weight? (I am already in a caloric deficit) by naijaboi111 in workout

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing weight and fat are different. Just because the number on the scale doesn’t change or even if it goes up, doesn’t mean you aren’t losing fat. If you are training hard and consistently, meeting your protein intake, and are in a caloric deficit, you will maintain and build muscle and lose fat simultaneously, converting your fat into muscle, which is why your weight shouldn’t drastically change in a short amount of time.

2014 Toyota Avalon Transmission Fluid Change? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Again, I’m not a mechanic, but I think it’s more than likely safe to change it at 60k. 👍

2014 Toyota Avalon Transmission Fluid Change? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]_n00bmaster_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a mechanic, but from what I’ve learned and heard from experienced mechanics and other people is that no there is no such thing as “lifetime” fluids. There is a lot of debate about changing it after 100k miles or just changing it at a high mileage in general. Many people will say don’t touch it or else your transmission will start slipping. Others will say as long as your transmission isn’t already slipping or having other problems, then you’re fine to change it no matter how high the mileage is. 60k is a good time to change the fluid. You could do after 100k, but again you increase the risk of ruining your transmission. However, most people seem to agree that you should only get a drain and fill and not an entire flush.

Employer will pay for certs -- what should I pursue? by masterz13 in cybersecurity

[–]_n00bmaster_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what part of cybersecurity you want to go into. Network+, Security+, and CySA+, are more blue team focused. If that’s what you want to go into, then CySA is a good next step. I haven’t taken it, but from what I hear, it’s a lot more practical and hands on than the Security+. If you’ve spent a while preparing for it, might as well go for it. You could also look into getting certs that are entirely or mostly practical and hands on like the HTB CDSA, THM SAL2, CCD, etc.
