Question about meal timing. (I know it doesnt matter when i eat, theres more to it)
Question about meal timing. (I know it doesnt matter when i eat, theres more to it)So my question is that since your body constantly burns calories, if i wake up at 9 but i don't eat till 3 and next meal is at 8, what happens from 9 to 3. I have no protein in my body so technically my body would burn muscle? Even though i hit my daily protein goal every day it's just I'm curious if i lose muscle from the time of waking up till lunch. submitted by /u/yamiata [link] [comments]
looking for any advice for trying to help my mother lose weight and embrace a healthier lifestyle
looking for any advice for trying to help my mother lose weight and embrace a healthier lifestylei care about my mother's health. she is overweight, and in her 50's. she has gotten to the point where she has trouble losing weight and is seemingly going to stay this way until she passes if changes are not made soon. we've talked about getting healthier; i've gone on walks with her, helped her change her diet a bit but nothing too drastic and nothing that has/will profoundly impact the state of her health. she's very inconsistent and i try to not push her too hard on these issues. what i'm looking for is any advice you guys may have pertaining to helping an unhealthy person not only change, but embrace a healthy lifestyle. i know that i cannot force her to do anything and that she will have to want to change, but i would like to urge her to embrace a healthier lifestyle. i'm planning on talking with her about it tonight. i want my mother to be healthy and happy, and i don't want to lose her. any advice pertaining to how i can help her change or how to approach the situation with her would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading. submitted by /u/mrnateguy [link] [comments]
Is strength-training bad for a runner?
Is strength-training bad for a runner?I am primarily a runner. However I am looking to do some weight-training due to having a desire to become strong as well. I already have very good calisthenic skills (pushups, pullups, etc). However...I have these fears: Will weight training damage my runner's body and is counterproductive? Do you think becoming stronger is basically a danger to a runner's body? I dont mean that I want the strength training to improve my running (I know it probably wont), I just dont want it to damage my body (which is "optimized" for running although its quite strong due to calisthenics). submitted by /u/ultimatebeing [link] [comments]
Got some extra motivation today.
Got some extra motivation today.Was at the gym - it's squat/RDL/leg press day today. I recently added a ton of volume to my lifts so I was squatting 225 for 8 sets of 5. Anyway, I'm doing my thing, on set 7 and my legs are getting pretty wobbly by this time. Still grinding out the 5th rep. This dude comes in, probably no more than like 165lbs. Never seen him at the gym before. He sets up and does some clean and jerks with the bar - had great form. Keeps adding up and then is doing it with 225. I was like, wtf? That's impressive. Then, he loads up 2 plates and does a quick set of 5 DLs. adds in another set of plates, does another quick set of 5. Adds in another set of plates, quick set of 3. Final 1x1 set of 485lbs. Holy shit. Blew my mind that someone that little (and he didn't look jacked or anything) could pull nearly 5 plates! I took a moment and chatted with him - turns out he used to be a competitive powerlifter and just moved to the area, getting back into heavy lifting after a hiatus. He and I will be deadlifting together later this week - looking forward to learning more! My max is about 355, at 190lbs. Can't wait to get to the 4-plate mark! submitted by /u/H-bizzle [link] [comments]

Recovering from shoulder surgery, can I lose fat while not accelerating muscle loss?
Recovering from shoulder surgery, can I lose fat while not accelerating muscle loss?I tore my labrum and had surgery done 10 weeks ago. I've been able to do rows and tricep movements but its really been to just strengthen the atrophied side. Needless to say, everything else other than legs and abs are out of the question. Is it possible in my condition (at 17% bf and want to lose about 7 lb) to burn fat and NOT lose any more muscle than I would have without being in a net caloric deficit? submitted by /u/JerseySeed [link] [comments]
Messed up shoulder, looking for alternatives to bench press and military press.
Messed up shoulder, looking for alternatives to bench press and military press.Dislocated my shoulder last year, coming to terms with the fact that it's never going to heal fully (unless I get surgery). That being the case, I can't really do bench press or military press as it just puts way too much stress on my shoulder. Are there any alternative exercises for chest/shoulder that I can do that aren't high stress on the shoulder joint? (Yes I know I should ask my doctor - I am setting up an ortho appointment soon, but wanted to check if anyone here at least had any suggestions). submitted by /u/chingwang [link] [comments]
