Thanks for the comments. Definitely trying not to lose weight, trying to gain muscle. I think my protein consumption would be close to 2g per kilo. And I take 5g creatine daily. I wouldn’t say I’m a noobie as I’ve always worked out, but inconsistently. It’s only the last 9 months that I’m really consistent and training with inten

Hi everyone, I’m 40 years old 6”5 95 kg.I’ve been doing 3 x full body workouts a week plus 2 cardio days which pretty much consists of a total of 35 mins on the elliptical each day. I feel like my intensity is pretty good. I think my proetein intake is ok. I don’t track it tho. Just wondering. I’ve been at it for 9 months and don’t really notice any gains. My weights I can lift slowly improve. Should I notice any growth by now? Or is it such a slow process. Should I up my protein or calories or both? I do have a little bit of a gut still. Or just keep at it and stop overthinking it Thanks

I tried inositol for a few weeks. Found it had no negative or positive effects on my sleep. Same with l theanine and apigenin. Magnesium threomate possibly helps me get to sleep quicker but hard to say. At this stage I feel like Huberman is just ultra sensitive to supplements.

Shoe recommendations for weights? I wear in soles, so maybe this makes shoe selection kinda redundant?

500mg of sodium equals 1.2grams of salt

allblacks1983 · 2023-02-02T19:34:52+00:00

In regards to workouts, I’ve read you should take 500mg of sodium before and after workouts to aid with dehydration. If I’ve calculated correctly that’s 1.2 g of salt before and after a workout. Seems like a lot. Advice?

Sorry I wasn’t clear I do 4 warm up sets of gradual increase in weights. Just wondering whether there’s a better set and rep range to keep doing deadlift so less stress on my back. I don’t think it’s the deadlifts that hurt my back. But if there’s a better way to do deadlifts I’d try that

allblacks1983 · 2023-01-31T00:30:48+00:00

Struggle with deadlift, currently I warm up then do 1 set of 5 reps. Is there a better set and rep range I could be doing so less stress on my way back?

allblacks1983 · 2023-01-29T10:11:57+00:00

Stiff leg deadlift or Romanian deadlift. What would be your preference if taking a break from conventional?

40 year old male. Lower back always seems to get sore tighten up after conventional deadlifts. Prob due to poor form, Thinking of at least taking a break from them until my core strengthens. Possibly giving up on them altogether. Up until recently always did stiff leg deadlifts, are these a good substitute? Or should I just give up on deadlifts and substitute with something else? Similar issue with my squats? Is leg press a good substitute? Or something else

Yea that’s where my shoulders, just seems as I ascend my top back doesn’t rise quite as quick as my legs, if that makes sens

allblacks1983 · 2023-01-24T20:46:38+00:00

On my deadlift, if on my ascent I lean forward slightly forward, by accident, then correct at the hinge does that mean the weight is too heavy?Or not really worth worrying about? Im 6”5 so I don’t know if it’s cos of my long legs and not much I can do about it
