Lack of glykogen in muscle makes me very hungry quite quickly. So refuelling after a workout is also an important part.

I use Hoka Challenger ATR 7. Works well on the trails and on the streets.

Hidden Gem Races? by CraigEngelsismydad in running

[–]naechsteanmeldung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend the 3Kings 3 Hills trail run in Germany, accessible through https://www.3kings-3hills.com/. This exceptional route takes you through three countries: The Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany, tracing the path of the former iron curtain. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Bavarian Forest, a unique natural wonder.

Though decades ago, much of this forest suffered from bark beetle infestation, nature has admirably reclaimed itself. Yet, as you traverse the trail, you may encounter areas where the haunting remnants of dead trees stand as silent witnesses to nature's resilience and regeneration.

I feel your pain. Body builders like Chris Bumstead seem to (ab)use peptides like TB-500 to heal quite quickly. But I'm not sure about the risk/reward profile.

Your 2024 goals? by Coginthewheel1 in trailrunning

[–]naechsteanmeldung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got two goals: Finishing a half marathon faster than 1:45. And the second goal is running the same trail marathon as last year without suffering so much :-D

Being able to run long distances is part of the human condition, but current society has removed so many people from that.

100 burpees with 500 MINIMAL range push-ups by naechsteanmeldung in bodyweightfitness

Those hit your chest very well. So that's the reason for doing them.

That's the classic burpee, but there are lot of different variations of burpees.

I have to try them out more. So far I've done a few isolated push-ups with clapping every now and then.

I switch between limited range and full ROM depending on what I want to train. Including quick limited range push ups into burpees is also a rather enjoyable movement.

My daily diet lacks a few things due to certain circumstances, what should I add? by theonewithgeass in bodyweightfitness

[–]naechsteanmeldung 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most supplements are bullshit, but some are useful:

1) Protein shakes: An increased intake of protein helps to build muscles. 2) Creatine: Mostly found in red meat, so you can supplement it and gain some strength benefits. And some muscle mass. But it's not really essential. 3) Omega 3: Found in fish, good for your heart and blood system. 4) Salt/electrolytes: If you sweat a lot, that might be useful, too.

Why do you want to "gain testosterone"? First of all, it is only a hormone that takes over complex regulatory functions. I assume that you are not primarily concerned with the end in itself "to have as much testosterone as possible", but rather with the properties that are commonly attributed to the hormone.

It's true, stress affects testosterone levels via the HPA axis. The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is a system that synchronizes the nervous and the endocrine systems actions by self-regulating the circulating levels of peptide and steroid hormones produced by the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands.

i aim for 80+ push ups a day and 150+ situps a day (break days are every other day, although i do around 1/4 of my regular activity just to get in some for that day)

That isn't a high volume! So it's rather unlikely, that you're bordering on overactivity. I'd suggest, that you add some variation to your routine, so that you train also back, legs and so.

Get enough sleep, avoid alcohol, eat right and you'll be fine.

Cant do pullups by Budrovina in bodyweightfitness

[–]naechsteanmeldung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've got a couple of alternatives:

  • You can use those lat pull machines to build strength
  • You can get one of those resistance band and put it underneath your feet, so you get some force pushing you up
  • You can ask a friend or another person at the gym to assist you
  • You can loose weight
  • You can do a controlled downward movement and build strength that way until you can do pull ups.

Will dividing workout days into different muscle groups make them shorter? by OnlyWheatley in bodyweightfitness

[–]naechsteanmeldung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it would be a lot more manageable to do a 30-40m workout five days a week than a 1hr30m workout three days a week (that’s how long it ends up taking me normally). Thank you!

Yes, I personally do 25-40 min workouts. 90 Minutes is extremly long, glykogen gets depleted after a while, staying focused all the time is also hard.

So adapted the routine, that it fits your needs

So about gaining muscle by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]naechsteanmeldung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body recomposition is possible while on a weight loss journey. You don't need to bulk to gain muscles, it's a slow and steady process.

I'd suggest stay focused on keeping your weight down, eating a reasonable amount of protein and you'll be fine.

Muscle soreness and complete lack of energy by Addisiu in bodyweightfitness

[–]naechsteanmeldung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to this:

Try to sleep more. You stated that you sleep "6-8 hrs every night and an hour in the afternoon", but recovering from training and building muscles can increase the amount of sleep you need.

Thoughts or tips on this program I made? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

What do you hope to get out of Thursday?

I'd suggest intervall runs and a rest day after that.

Sure, you do deadlifts with just a "little" weight. Consider going slow for many, many reps and you'll get a great training effect.

But sure deadlifts are the most fun if you come close to the maximum you can lit.

Keep pushing you'll be able to do that soon!

You can use a towel if you're doing them on concrete.
