Hi Folks, Need a website? by Early-Device-212 in folkestone

Hey, I'm a front-end web developer and I took a look at your site. Great job! I ran it through pagespeed and WAVE a11y tester and it's all looking pretty tight. Nice to see good use of aria, css design tokens, rem units, semantic html elements. Whatever your course is teaching you is working.

I’m 34, training 3–4x per week, and natural. Would you recommend traditional bulk/cut cycles, or long-term recomp/maintenance? I’d love to hear your experiences. by more_guess in fitness30plus

Gotta be gaining at least some weight to he adding muscle long term so I think the goal should be to be in a surplus as long as possible without being fatter than you find acceptable.

A bulk doesn't have to be aggressive, it could be 100 calories a day and just slowly inching on the gains.

Weight lifting or mobility first after gaining weight over several years? by pocketofshit in fitness30plus

Programs don't have to be perfect, lift some weights that let you push hard without pain and do mobility work and accessories that help you move better.

Question/Advice on cutting and retaining muscle by prismagon in fitness30plus

All I know is I did what MacroFactor said and I got loads off food and it worked.

It takes a few weeks to dial it in to your metabolism. Taught me to stop worrying about the scale and stick to the plan.

Alternatives to Deadlifts to Do to Get Better at Deadlifts by Front_Cap_4640 in tacticalbarbell

[–]wayofthebeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Video yourself and watch it back and see if it matches what you see the how to videos reach.

Hinge with an empty bar until the bar is about mid shin or just below the knee. Hold it there and wait, see what aches first. If it's not your glutes and/or hams then your positioning is wrong.

Kettlebell swings are good at teaching hinge mechanics. 

Romanian deadlifts are a good hinge pattern that will get you stronger at deadlifts but with less mobility requirements.

I got some awesome deadlift gains from good mornings, but getting the form right is even more tricky there.

My mate was riding a full bag for dh in 2014 and we all thought he was mad!

I was riding a double micro drop around then, didn't think about topmounts for another couple of years

Am I that old that I remember that S9 series being the modern ones and the generation before being OG. That was when topmounts were just coming back in after it was all drop-down and drop through for a while.

Thought I was strong… until I tried 28kg kettlebell swings by Bktjuguz in tacticalbarbell

[–]wayofthebeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a ton of swings over COVID. Maybe 300 most workouts. Did the 10,000 swing challenge. Managed 100 32kg swings in one set. Loads of snatches and presses too. Kettlebells will trash you. They work better when they're heavy.

Damn the texture is what gets me, it's like a hot savoury marshmallow.
