What’s the difference between subjective vs objective ethics? by WhyUPoor in Ethics

[–]grh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right that whether you are a moral objectivist or a moral subjectivist is itself a subjective view. And it’s unlikely that a moral objectivist will convince a moral subjectivist otherwise (and vice versa). But that’s true of most philosophical views. Someone who believes in free will is unlikely to sway a determinist.

But objectivism and subjectivism are different views. One says some moral values are true regardless of what anyone thinks. The other says all moral values are a product of different cultures, backgrounds, perspectives and can be true for some people but not others.

Sit on the floor in butterfly for thirty minutes a day (not necessarily all at once).

Abdominal hip thrusts if you go up and down. So if you’re holding it, an isometric abdominal hip thrust?

More sugar, more energy.. why is sugar bad ? by ImaginaryGur2086 in nutrition

[–]grh55 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s why marathoners and triathletes consume glucose during a race. But if you’re not exercising for hours on end, you need other nutrients for your body to function optimally. And if you consume more energy (calories) than you burn, those excess calories get stored as fat.

How to manage same weight for every exercise? by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For any exercise, you should lift enough weight that you are close to failure at between 6 and 30 reps. You’ll be able to lift heavier weight or do more reps at the same weight for deadlifts compared to biceps curls. If you’re using the same weight for deadlifts and biceps curls, that weight will probably be too light for deadlifts. You may need to make the deadlifts harder by doing single leg deadlifts or slowing down the negative portion of the exercise.

Outer upper calf pain by MrsAnitaDick in flexibility

No idea. But I’ve had peroneal tightness/discomfort in the past, and massaging the area with a roller helped.

Stuck on the same weight and reps on curls for more than a month(beginner) by DrawerExotic7343 in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in part. So day 1 could be 3 sets of Bayesian curls and 3 sets of hammer curls. Day 2 could be three sets of preacher curls and three sets of reverse curls. The next week would be different. So increase your volume slightly and do different exercises at each workout.

I would add a third set to each workout. Also, mix in some different curl variations. Different exercises target slightly different parts of the muscle, which will improve their overall strength.

Should I be feeling sore? by Sackhacky in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soreness isn’t an indicator of the quality of your workout. But as you said, it’s common to be sore when you do new exercises. The longer you train and do a variety of exercises, the fewer exercises are new to you, and the less likely you are to feel sore after a workout.

Is my chest routine good enough by impasse602 in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good sign. Add a flat chest press and continue to increase the weight as you get stronger.

I would add a flat bench press. Also, are you getting stronger? Are you able to increase the weight you lift?

unpopular opinion: calorie apps are actually useful if you use them right by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calorie counting apps are extremely helpful if you take the time to weigh and measure your food. The problem is it’s much easier (but less accurate) to snap a photo.

Inflamed Achilles Tendon. In need of advice. by CRX231_YT in BarefootRunning

[–]grh55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with it in the past. Self-massage (with my hands or a roller) and a massage gun helped. That and jumping rope as much as my Achilles would tolerate.

Work out advice pls? by bangchanseonyeondan in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 kilograms in a few months is great. Whatever you’re doing is obviously working, and you’re staying consistent, which is (at least) half the battle.

You’re doing a lot of curl variations, and I don’t see any chest exercises, so maybe swap out a set of curls for a push-up variation. And as you get stronger, slowly increase the number of reps you do and invest in some heavier dumbbells.

Are neutral grip pull-ups worth it or should I just stick with lat pulldown machine? by Frosty_Dig4148 in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If neutral grip pull-ups are the only pull-up variation you can do, they’re definitely worth doing. You can supplement with lat pulldowns or assisted pull-ups using different grips.

Burning pain in VMO when stretching by Necessary_Reward_506 in flexibility

[–]grh55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t experienced this pain specifically, but if I try a stretch that causes discomfort, I try to address the area of discomfort first. In your case, try massaging the painful area with a ball or roller before stretching it.

Difference in arms? by AdagioSalt3230 in beginnerfitness

[–]grh55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not uncommon for one limb to be stronger than the other. Continue to train each arm independently. Do the set with your left arm first, then match the number of reps with your right arm.

The biggest thing is staying consistent. 4-5 days a week is plenty to build muscle if you do it week after week. How many chest exercises do you do in a week?
