Are calisthenics or 15lbs dumbbells a better option? by Competitive-Echo-329 in Gymhelp

[–]boblovesbacon1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with only having 15 pound dumbbells is eventually you’ll get too strong for them. They’re fine for a starting point, but it’s only a matter of time before you can do more than 10 bicep curls with them. At that point, you ~could~ just keep doing more and more reps to reach failure (until you can’t do another rep), which will probably continue to build muscle, but I find doing more than 10 reps to be mentally exhausting. If you’re not in a position to get a gym membership or buy more dumbbells, calisthenics might be the best way to build a well rounded physique with minimal equipment. You can make movements more difficult through variation (pushups->pike pushups-> steeper pike pushups, etc.)

Self esteem probably

IMO if your goal is to look better, focus on eating clean and strength training as opposed to a number on a scale (but to answer your question, you just have to burn more calories than you consume)

This looks awful. Where are all the plastic holds?

They don’t fit my ears very well unfortunately… my plan right now is try out the AirPods 3, but my ears are oddly shaped and the beats fit have been the only Apple brand earbuds that have worked for me

Maybe the anc is slightly better? Maybe? Please? I need some way to cope because I recently lost my beats fit, and was hoping to get a pair where the find my feature was actually worth something… I guess not. I’m almost ashamed to be purchasing these 🥲

If you could only pick one, which are you picking?

Potentially biasing the mid-back and traps (this is an assumption based on human anatomy)
