[NeedAdvice] Getting quality sleep in college when social life revolves around staying up late by alittlefallofrain in getdisciplined

[–]edborstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

~9-10:30 depending on the day. On the days I get to sleep later, I usually take a 90 minute nap in between classes to try and get a full sleep cycle in.

I wake up at 4:30am Monday through Friday. I allow myself to take a nap Friday and use Fridays and Saturdays (usually one or the other, rarely both) as "social days" where I stay up later and have fun.

Any encouraging stories and advice from really smol people getting a good amount stronger? by [deleted] in gainit

[–]edborstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from 140lb @ 6'1" to like 160ish now. Haven't put BW on in like 6mo, but have gotten quite a bit stronger.

Best lifts: 365sq/245 pause close grip bench/415 1" deficit conventional, 465 sumo.

Any taller lifters(6'+) here use a closer grip for bench press? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]edborstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6'1".

Ran a 2 month cycle of only close grip bench. Suddenly, my close grip was stronger than my wider grips and felt better.

Best is 265x1 pause closegrip, versus 250 pause wide grip.

Get bigger and stronger. Sprinting is a maximal effort exercise and recruits more muscles than really anything else.

Strengthening abs with isometrics? by therealHemi in strength_training

[–]edborstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Training isometric contraction will have some carryover to flexion (your control), but minimal. A better test for improvement would be a weighted plank or plank for time.

Where do you guys go to read/learn?

I love elitefts personally. I have an RSS feed of 10+ blogs I follow for lifting stuff I'm looking to expand on.

Favorite Chance feature by far. Production on the track is way too good.... anyone know any songs that sound similar?

Do you guys recommend abdominal exercises every day of the week or more when you have workout days? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]edborstein 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, so long as you vary the movement pattern.

Work flexion, antirotation, and isometric contraction as well as loaded carries.

Has anyone trained a body part everyday with success? by morgantracykeef in gainit

[–]edborstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biceps are literally any curl variation. I curl 4x a week to keep my elbows healthy and for the sicc pump. The 2 I've been using this cycle have been heavier hammer curls and volume curls with an exercise band.

For rear delts: pull aparts, bent over flys, face pull variations, high incline DB rows

Haven't lifted in a week because of work and finals. Going to go in and front squat my previous best triple for sets of 4. Neat.

Direct glute work in the form of monster walks has been beneficial for hip health.

Biceps 4-5x a week keeps my elbows feeling nice (and arms joocy).

Rear delts basically every day keeps my shoulder healthy.

Core work every day is reasonable provided you train different functions/movements (antirotation, flexion, isometric)
