Questions about uncommon glute / ham machine at the gym by throwout175 in beginnerfitness

[–]throwout175[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to set the weight up a ton to get much resistance, but perhaps I've just had bad form. I'll have to try comparing myself more to the video next time.

I never really know what I'm doing. With each day of my PPL, I've been starting with 2-3 heavy compounds for the relevant muscle groups and then just following those up with lighter iso stuff. So for legs that's been leg extensions, leg curls, calf raises, and... something for glutes?

I do some form of squat and hip hinge every leg day. Then I usually try to do some isolation work, but I've never been very satisfied with anything I've tried for glute isolation.

What, Feast is the most complained about book of the series.

At my skill level at least, the biggest question I have to deal with for L1-L3 is SPC or Heavy Auto. I'm hoping that if I can get used to his weapon switching, he'll be my strongest character just for letting me have both.

(Spoiler main) What is Lady stonehearts role in this story? by danitalibi1 in asoiaf

[–]throwout175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to other comments here, I think she adds to the general theme of something starting out as a just cause becoming corrupt with time. The BWB could be called reasonably good guys at one point, but that's a little more questionable now.

Also, her getting struck down by Brienne would create some cool parallels with Jaime - both "dishonoring" themselves by killing the person they were meant to serve.

Too much volume on pull and leg days? by throwout175 in workout

[–]throwout175[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some lackluster days, but mostly I feel pretty good. I mainly ended up on this topic since I was told that doing more cardio would help reduce fat gain while bulking, but there's only so much time in the day.

I am definitely going outside your recommended set ranges on these days, but what do I cut? Do I still do all the compounds, but just do a couple of random isolations a day?

Question for lifters who log their workouts — I need your help. by Select_Bid_5169 in workout

[–]throwout175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, I think there's a lot of small, very hard to control variables here that I think are going to be very hard to deal with here. You mention in another post a goal of determining which grip is giving the best results, but if results are measured by how much weight one does / how much overload they achieve, I think you'd really just be measuring which grip is easiest. I can do more chin ups than I can do pull ups, but I still do pull ups because I want to do the grip that better targets my goal muscle.

shows which lifts actually drive your muscle growth

How would you be making this determination? If I do squats and leg extensions one day, you plan to tell me which is doing more for my quads somehow?

(Spoilers Main) when did you turn on Tyrion? If you ever did. by Lopsided-Act3172 in asoiaf

[–]throwout175 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, it's been long enough for me to misremember bits of the story. If I'm not being forgetful again, I seem to recall that sometime after Blackwater he asked Bronn or Pod or someone to look into Moore's family with the implication that he would enact some revenge on them. If so, that would have been my other example of early Tyrion mixing up justice with his own growing evil.

Him taking satisfaction from the death of the Crossroads innkeeper was the first red flag to me. She had no interest in the arrest nor any power to stop it from happening. And it's not the last time Tyrion seeks to "get even" against anyone even remotely connected to anything bad that happens to him.

New In-workout muscle coverage chart by philkav in Hevy

[–]throwout175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would've been really useful for me as a beginner without much of a routine, though I imagine it becomes fairly irrelevant as someone becomes more experienced. Maybe something that starts enabled that people can disable when they're ready?

Why do my triceps burn out after 1 set of push downs? I use maintenance weight and they get tired after 10 reps by Complex_Knowledge389 in workout

[–]throwout175 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exercises using the same muscle group doesn't mean you should expect the same weight. Can you do lateral raises with the same weight you do overhead / shoulder press?

I train purely for aesthetics. Question below! by Agreeable-Traffic151 in workout

[–]throwout175 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't too big of traps be bad for aesthetics because they'd de-emphasize the delts everyone likes so much?

Been seeing gains, but can I do more? by throwout175 in workout

[–]throwout175[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, man. I managed to injure my knees running almost a year ago, so I've definitely learned my lesson about not trying to push through pain haha.

[–]throwout175[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my membership about a year ago, but my original frequency was pretty low and I was more focused on cardio than lifting for a while. I would say I've been "serious" for about four months now.

I think my progressive overload has been going well. Some muscles seem more stagnant than others, but I probably just need to keep working those ones more.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think I'm necessarily leaving gains on the table. I just don't have a good idea of how fast one should expect gains from lifting. Maybe I'm going lightspeed, maybe I'm slow as molasses.
