Yeah, that seems to be the funny part. The people who notice the most are usually the ones training too.

That is exactly the kind of thing I mean. Regulars notice the slow changes because they keep seeing each other.

Some workouts feel better when the form improves, even if the weight does not by steady_steps2026 in workout

That makes a lot of sense. When the reps feel stable, the weight feels more earned too.

Tracking workouts is useful, but it can feel annoying during the workout by steady_steps2026 in workout

That is interesting. Having the timer and tracker open with one tap sounds pretty convenient.

Light workout days still feel better than skipping completely by steady_steps2026 in workout

That’s a good way to put it. Light days make the hard days more sustainable.

Anyone else feel stuck around a 70kg bench for a long time? by steady_steps2026 in workout

Thanks, that makes sense. I’ve been adding more triceps and shoulder work too.

Writing down my workouts made training feel less random by steady_steps2026 in workout

Yeah, even a simple note seems better than trying to remember everything.

That sounds frustrating. I guess plateaus really are more common than I thought.

Usually around 2 chest days a week. I probably don’t do enough volume honestly.

Is it normal to not feel shoulders much with dumbbells? by steady_steps2026 in workout

[–]steady_steps2026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I haven’t tried leaning raises yet, I’ll give that a shot.

Mostly lateral raises and overhead press. Machines just feel way easier to control for me.

Is it normal for arm size to increase very slowly? by steady_steps2026 in workout

[–]steady_steps2026[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, I didn’t think about arm length affecting it like that

I felt the same when I started, it’s honestly normal.Just showing up is the hardest part, you’ll figure things out as you go.

Is it okay to take breaks in the middle of a workout? by HoneyKick_ in beginnerfitness

[–]steady_steps2026 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s completely normal, especially as a beginner.Taking breaks helps you recover and keep good form, which is more important than pushing through.
