On toes while rucking?
On toes while rucking?Looking to start ruck-marching for the Army (17, planning on joining after HS) and I was wondering if walking on my toes would be particularly bad in any way? Might as well knock two birds with stone, and hit calves while I do this... With weight on my back, would tip toes be a bad thing? submitted by /u/JRMHCNSK [link] [comments]
Can I still make 'newbie' gains if I've been lifting for two years if the lifting hasn't been particularly successful? Age 24
Can I still make 'newbie' gains if I've been lifting for two years if the lifting hasn't been particularly successful? Age 24CanI still tap into 'newbie' gains if I've been lifting for a while, given that I don't think I ever got them in the first place (or not much of them)? Essentially, where do I fall in this table Background: - Age 19, started lifting weights at home, but bad nutrtion (never tracked any macros, not even protein) - Around age 21, switched to lifting at a gym, doing so somewhat consistently, but nutrition was still garbage (no protein/macro tracking) -Age 23 (about 1 year, 4 months ago), finally started tracking macos, lifting consistently, did a bulk for about 6 months, got fat -past 10 months or so, unsatisfied with how fat I got, I've been cutting So my question is, if I lean bulk for a year, how much muscle would be reasonable to expect to gain? Here's some pics for reference: Me in my early lifting, non tracking macros days: March 2014 link Me after having bulked (at my fattest): June 2015 link Me right now, after having cut that fat off: March 2016 link submitted by /u/91qqww [link] [comments]

I eat a jar of Nutella every other day, but I'm pretty fit. Is there a reason for me to stop? (srs)
I eat a jar of Nutella every other day, but I'm pretty fit. Is there a reason for me to stop? (srs)Completely serious question. I'm 5'8" and weigh around 145, mostly muscle. I'm in love with this stuff and catch myself going through a jar every few days. Can I still get diabetes or something from doing this? Like can my pancreas fail from always going into overdrive & secreting loads of insulin all the time? I'm really just worried about the sugar I'm consuming. As long as I'm fit, does it really matter? Can it exhaust the pancreatic beta cells? Thanks. submitted by /u/qwertybrah [link] [comments]

Am I getting benefit out of jogging for only 20 minutes?
Am I getting benefit out of jogging for only 20 minutes?I started going back to the gym to run on the treadmill (I have knee pain and plantar fasciitis, and the treadmill is much friendlier). The first week I did a quick 15 minutes 3 days a week just get myself in the habit, and then did 20 minutes. I use a heart rate monitor to stay in the aerobic zone M,W,F, and an active recovery on the other 2 days. I used to have a bad problem with going out too hard and burning myself out, and injuring myself. I seem to remember some folk wisdom about needing 30 minutes or some such to actually reap any cardiovascular improvement. I plan on moving up to 25 minutes and 30 minutes eventually, but even keeping my heart rate in check with walk breaks, I'm pretty spent by the 20 minute mark. Am I just being a giant pussy? submitted by /u/craftingfish [link] [comments]
