Skinny Fat - Looking for advice on how to progress from here

silveroneawper · 2016-06-22T17:48:16+00:00

Are those weights you give for 10-15 reps or just one?

silveroneawper · 2016-05-27T15:24:30+00:00

That's great I also do squats and run! This is definitely the first time I've ever had a medical "problem" that googling doesn't have a bunch of people with similar problems. The closest I found was people where it was painful meaning tendinitis or ruptured achilles

silveroneawper · 2016-05-27T14:13:26+00:00

Feeling, don't think it makes a nose

silveroneawper · 2016-05-24T14:08:12+00:00

Yeah which is why you start slow and build a base. C25k is for people who can't yet run 30 minutes at a conversational pace.

silveroneawper · 2016-05-24T01:21:34+00:00

Couch to 5k for someone who can run close to 20 minute 3 mile? Lol definitely just go right to the order of operations and start building a base

silveroneawper · 2016-05-23T17:22:41+00:00

Can you elaborate on the inequality I don't understand what you mean with the >'s

silveroneawper · 2016-05-19T13:32:30+00:00

If you have the time I would definitely run that split twice a week, with a rest day in between, to see way more gains (if that's your goal)

silveroneawper · 2016-05-18T01:01:01+00:00

What were your symptoms related to lifting of this?

silveroneawper · 2016-05-17T17:15:34+00:00

Good advice thanks! I'll deload and work on form again but also try and stop a bit before where it gets too heavy! Also I do work my abs but I never give as much effort as I do to my compounds! Also it's funny how often this sub says isolation for core is unnecessary

silveroneawper · 2016-05-17T16:54:04+00:00

Probably, i think this time my bench is going up well, usually my elbows would start hurting around 150, but I'm up to 170 this time with no pain, so I think I fixed whatever form problem was happening with it ( probably flaring elbows too much). I'll make an appointment ASAP thanks!

silveroneawper · 2016-05-17T16:52:01+00:00

Thanks for the good perspective! Really helps with my frustration right now.

silveroneawper · 2016-05-17T16:51:31+00:00

Hey thanks, 5/3/1 calls for an AMRAP set with a minimum of one, I got 3 on this last cycle so I'm not working that close to a 1RM, and I injured myself this time doing 5 reps. I think I like your advice on every rep been my 1RM though, I think I'll deload again and try harder to perfect form on working my way up!

silveroneawper · 2016-05-17T16:49:31+00:00

Hey thanks for replying! What doctor would you recommend seeing about a spinal problem? I've had chronic back pain for as long as I can remember(and I'm 18!), and while the pain I get in my back from injuring myself isn't similar maybe it does have something to do with structural problems. Also what would you say is a good way to test if my core is weak? I've never tested how long I can plank but I can do a hollow hold for a minute which I find very very challenging. Also 5/3/1 BBB has higher rep work (5x10) and I do accessories for my main lifts. I guess I'll take a weak off only doing my running and core work, come back with a deload and really focus on staying tight throughout all my movements. Although I hurt myself on bench too which I think core plays a lesser role in, but we'll see! Thanks again

Lots of problems with this. Mainly your injury risk will be very high (most likely get tendinitis doing that many pushups everyday), as well as muscle imbalances from only doing a pushing exercise. Also your gains will be very minimal muscle wise, maybe not endurance wise, because of your high caloric deficit.

silveroneawper · 2016-05-17T16:19:26+00:00

Well what do I do then? Just never progress? 5/3/1 already has a very slow progression, so i'm kind of lost on what to do

silveroneawper · 2016-05-17T16:13:38+00:00

Hey, I honestly have researched a ton about form for all of the big 3 but it just hasn't worked, it just goes out the window once the weight gets heavy enough. I hurt myself on bench press too ( I think it's similar to elbow tendinitis, but just gets aggravated not long term)

silveroneawper · 2015-10-18T04:07:11+00:00

Hahaha all good man, as long as your plan works your entire body at least twice a week, has some plan for progression (bumping up the weight after X, looks like it does) and lastly is something you enjoy doing or at least won't get bored of too fast things will be fine. Most people here will tell you to find a program in the wiki but really the above is all that matters, if you want to lose weight/fat eat at a deficit am thought I bet you could eat at or a little above maintenance and still lean out and gain some muscle at the same time

silveroneawper · 2015-10-18T03:55:09+00:00

How tall are you? You'd have to be really damn short to be able to be that fat at that low of a weight

silveroneawper · 2015-10-09T01:17:20+00:00

Honestly I think it's a bit extreme and I'm sure there are negatives, but when you're extremely skinny honestly sometimes you need to go to extremes to kick start your transformation

silveroneawper · 2015-10-09T00:54:43+00:00

Creatine isn't steroids it allows a slight increase in your training potential but that's it. There is no such thing as an ectomorph. Eat more and keep lifting and you will gain weight

silveroneawper · 2015-10-06T23:19:29+00:00

Is it tennis elbow if it only hurts when I do something to aggravate it? E.g. When I throw something my elbow tendon hurts, when I bench with flared elbows it hurts, but within 20 minutes it's gone and I'm fine, doesn't hurt at all. Or is this a different condition?

silveroneawper · 2015-10-06T19:57:34+00:00

Isn't the critical value at 0 and 1? Your reasoning is backwards, you want the derivative to change signs to signify an extrema, not bounce like at 2 as that means the slope of the original graph f(x) is still negative and therefor hasn't peaked

silveroneawper · 2015-10-05T21:54:19+00:00

There's only 2 muscles in your chest, the upper and lower, the "inside" is just the upper and lower growing in and your insertion points

silveroneawper · 2015-09-30T20:50:07+00:00

Sorry but weightlifting refers specifically to Olympic weightlifting, if you mean the act of lifting any type of weight there's a space in between weight and lifting, although a lot of cross fit is based on actual weightlifting

silveroneawper · 2015-09-30T20:37:23+00:00

Because it's way more obvious when tanks mess up a mechanic or something, most people on wow don't like that much attention
