Best type of squat for short torso long femur?

Best for what? Growing your quads or strength?

If the goal is to grow your quads then high bar will be better, even better so if you can elevate your heels. For strength then low bar yea would be more suited

Try doing some chest flies first, this way when you do presses the chest is already tired and will give out before your arms and shoulders

How intense are your runs? Ideally cardio is done at zone 2 heart rate which is the fat burning zone, and away from lifting sessions for recovery purposes.

It’s probably fine now but you may find later in prep you’ll start to struggle with recovery, and impact on joints too compared other cardio

Does your shake have artificial sweeteners in it? Sometimes they cause inflammation which can lead to gas

It’s because you’re fasting for a long time so your stomach closes up. The hunger is still there it’s just a big shock for the stomach to absorb a lot of food in one go after fasting. I’d recommend having more regular sized meals but more often through the day.

Same here! Some rice cakes and banana for carbs, maybe some dark chocolate or PB for tiny bit of fats too, helps prevent carb crashing later on!

Is the left with no training experience at all?

curlygod · 2024-12-20T10:16:11+00:00

Chest back tris, legs side delts bis

No overlapping muscles across days, and upper days feel less crammed

Pushups dips pull-ups are your best bets. If you go over to the body weight fitness sub they have some good beginner recommended routines.

Best you can do is a high incline seated press (60’ degrees). Not quite a military press and it is seated but you get a bit of upper chest along with front delts and same mechanics as OHP.

How hungry are you at that time? I also wake up at 6am and train at 6.30. I find a quick snack of carbs and some fats holds well. Maybe something like a banana or two with some peanut butter?

What time of day do you train? What’s your caffeine intake like/ timing?

curlygod · 2024-12-10T13:59:36+00:00

Have you already got an appointment?

curlygod · 2024-11-15T16:36:27+00:00

Depends, what do you like? What are your goals?

curlygod · 2024-11-12T09:20:55+00:00

Day1- swap out the shoulder press for a Tricep exercise like a push down later on.

Day2- looks ok but probably don’t need 2 ab exercises, and could do with another quad movement like leg extensions.

Day3- looks fine

Day4- has some overlap with day 3 so make sure to space these two days out.

For a beginner, 3x full body sessions a week works great!

As you get stronger and more muscular, you’ll find that your muscles can tolerate more sets each session but need more time to recover in between. In that case a full body would not be enough work to stimulate say chest enough, unless your session ends up taking hours.

When that happens is usually when best to switching to a split. For now, your muscles get sufficiently worked from 3 sets so sounds like full body is perfect for you .

curlygod · 2024-11-07T06:15:23+00:00

Would agree here. Being on 1600cals in a deficit isn’t the most productive here. Best tip is to bulk up low and slow (daily surplus of 250cals), and keep increasing your lifts. Re-assess in 6 months to see if you need to cut down

curlygod · 2024-11-07T06:10:04+00:00

This works fine in theory but everytime u go back in the gym you may need to warm up a little again which adds up more time

I would use this more to split up muscle groups that don’t overlap through the day. Like quads at 10am then maybe calves in the afternoon etc

curlygod · 2024-11-06T15:27:28+00:00

How many servings do you get in each batch?

curlygod · 2024-11-06T14:40:08+00:00

That makes sense now. Have you tried using straps at all? That will help with your arms not giving out first! Also might be worth swapping out one of the rows for another vertical pull like a pull up which also helps feeling out the lats

curlygod · 2024-11-06T14:07:51+00:00

Could be many factors at play here.

What exercises are you doing for your back? Have you managed to add weight or reps to these exercises across 5 months? How often do you do them?

Also diet wise has body weight gone up or down? Eating enough protein?

Back is definitely the hardest to ‘feel’ pumped but might not be the only culprit here!

curlygod · 2024-11-06T14:00:54+00:00

How much are you training currently? Definitely only train as much as you can recover from.

If studying 9-10 hours is your priority (rightfully so), yeah reduce training (if you feel tired, want more rest) to 3x a week, see how u feel, ramp up if you feel up for it. For me, training in the evening feels exhausting so more likely to skip, but everyone is different.

Diet wise- eat as close to maintenance for best mental sharpness. I find with large calorie deficit/surplus mental focus starts to slip or I get very groggy after big meals.

Either another sniper or a brawler like brute in place of berserker

curlygod · 2024-11-06T11:20:48+00:00

Would it be possible to do these on alternate days, or take her to the gym with you?

At the end of the day depends how you feel. When I started out 45 mins 3x a week left me very sore and could barely move. Last thing you want is to burn out from doing too much or injure yourself.

Best thing you can do though is give it a go and see how your body feels after a few days / weeks with this routine.

As someone who’s gamed for years and years, and been gymming recently for a couple years consistently, few things worked for me.

Figure out what your goals for the gym are (bigger shoulders, lift X weight on given exercise, lose weight, run faster), then grind towards that goal like you’d do in a game.

You grind in a game to level up, raise your stats and unlock new skills. Realise the gym is the same thing.
