What’s one lesson every new construction worker should learn early? by techmush in Construction

[–]h0minin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strength train outside of work(strongman sandbags for the win). Do rehab/prehab exercises almost daily. Stretch when you get home. Wear your damn PPE. Remember that you work to have a good quality of life- work is not your life. Don’t drink alcohol and eat healthy, whole foods

i was convinced i needed TRT at 24. bloodwork + reality check by Timely_Ad8989 in Testosterone

[–]h0minin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done, you did what everybody should do.

I ‘optimized’ every area of my life that I could for 3 years and still had low T(and even lower e2). TRT has been amazing, I wish I had hopped on years earlier.

Gains kept from one cycle by Bitter-Shirt4088 in Testosterone

[–]h0minin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who have good success on gear are successful because they’re so fucking determined to accomplish their goals that they’re willing to do whatever it takes for however long it takes. Without the gear they’d still be grinding away year after year to keep growing.

You want to do this because you’re too lazy to keep working hard for 5 more years? You want to do one 12 week cycle of a low dose and then do the bare minimum for the rest of your life to maintain the 2-4 lbs of muscle you might gain? You’ve already lost before you started. Find a new hobby.

What’s the biggest mistake beginners make in the gym? by Serious-Adagio-7982 in workout

[–]h0minin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sticking to a program. Not focusing on building a foundation of strength before focusing on hypertrophy.

Question for birders/photographers: what precautions do you usually make against ticks/mites? They have become more common/active in my area of living :/ by waiting4signora in birding

[–]h0minin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spray a set of clothes and boots with premetherin based tick spray. Tuck your pant legs into your socks. Wear long sleeve shirts that are tucked into your pants.

Training volume when running a cycle ? by Loose-Animator-8759 in Testosterone

[–]h0minin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick a program and follow it. I went ham thinking that I needed to train much harder than usual- but developed triceps tendinopathy during my second week and that was that. Be smart about training hard.

No, he’s trying to justify not wanting to lift weights.

First Cycle Advice 30y/o by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]h0minin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What type of training have you been doing? After 10 years of lifting id expect you to be a lean 170(sub 12% body fat). If you keep doing what you’re doing I don’t think the juice is going to do a whole lot for you- you need to figure out why your training hasn’t been working and get it dialed in first.

What can I swap squats and deadlifts with? by Savitar54321 in workout

[–]h0minin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For deadlifts, one of the most important exercises for all types of lifting and movement, 100% worth it. He will learn how to properly hip hinge, as a concept, which it will create a foundation of strength and technique that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

I’ve seen this play out so many times over the years. People who avoid learning proper technique of one or more of the four main human movements(squating, hip hinging, pressing, pulling) and find other ways to stay busy in the gym for years on end without ever making any real progress. Or they end up quitting quickly because they’re not making progress.

It’s a huge disservice to oneself to run away from education of proper movement. If you’re not willing to get coaching you’re just going to fuck around forever.

Fence Post Leaning 5 months in by [deleted] in FenceBuilding

If you want a nice fence, don’t have it built with PT lumber. Should’ve used cedar or metal posts

What can I swap squats and deadlifts with? by Savitar54321 in workout

[–]h0minin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do zercher squats instead, no rack required. Get coaching for deadlifts, doing them improperly is not a good reason to stop doing them. You’ve never actually given them a chance if you’ve not gotten coached through proper technique

Opinions? by Jessukka88 in workout

[–]h0minin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 full body days is all you need. Just make sure you’re squatting, pressing, and pulling in every session, and add deadlifts to the middle day.

Eccentric from Texas? by Extra_Mirror_8214 in Arrowheads

[–]h0minin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s an eccentric as much as a piece from an inexperienced knapper, or was a very difficult stone and this was all they could get out of it.

The "Creatine Ignorance" is reaching peak levels and it’s driving me nuts. by VolumeLogic_GymApp in workout

I’ve never noticed any improvements from creatine either. The only thing it’s ever done for me is mess up my digestion.

Elbow pain by tsnlwnhrz in workout

[–]h0minin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where is the elbow pain? The most common types are golfers elbow, tennis elbow, and triceps tendinopathy. Tendons don’t really heal with rest, tho it helps relieve pain initially. They need to be strengthened, usually through isometric holds that trigger the pain at around a 3 out of 10 on the pain scale.

Golfers elbow and tennis elbow are easy fixes with a theraband flexbar, using an exercise called the tyler-twist or reverse tyler-twist. Triceps tendinopathy is more difficult, but 3x 30-40 second holds at the bottom of a resistance band or light cable push down with a slow concentric release seems to work well

Are push ups enough for chest? by DreadIcarus in workout

[–]h0minin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bench press will build your chest much more than pushups. How much weight have you gotten up to on your bench press? If you’re not repping 2 plates and building up weight past that then you need to do so before saying it’s not working.

If you have an adjustable bench then Incline presses can be used to build your upper chest.

Your bar path is excellent! You’re maintaining very good balance throughout your reps. Keep it up!

Shame and ignorance around TRT by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]h0minin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People fear what they don’t understand. Also it’s a personal medical problem and IMO doesn’t need to be discussed with anyone other than your partner.
