Physical activity is influenced by urban environments
Physical activity is influenced by urban environmentsWhich probably won't come as much of a shock to us. A new study attempts to like urban environment to the amount of physical activity people undertake http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(15)01284-2/abstract Physical activity is influenced by the availability of public transport and parkland as well as the residential density of an area. The take-away point I found most interesting is that effective city planing could help people achieve half of their minimum suggested requirements for physical activity. submitted by /u/Happy-Fish [link] [comments]
Looking for advice on where to go from here (Pics)
Looking for advice on where to go from here (Pics)https://imgur.com/a/H2521 I'm 18, 6 foot 3 inches, and I weigh 180 pounds. At the moment I'm running the PHUL (Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower) program, and I've been somewhat slowly bulking for about six months. My lifts: B:200/S:250/DL:275 My short term goal: to look good for summer break which starts in a little over two months. My long term goal: to increase my muscle mass, become a more well rounded athlete, and get stronger for basketball. Should I cut right now to look better for summer? Or should I just continue the bulk? I've found that I'm a very poor judge of my own physique, so I'm looking for outside advice. submitted by /u/Rambox [link] [comments]
How important is switch up accessory movements? (PPL)
How important is switch up accessory movements? (PPL)I've heard if you switch up things in for example a PPL on monday is your pull you do lat pull downs, then on thursday you do pull ups so your body & muscles stay "guessing" or don't get used to the same workouts. Is this necessary and will I experience better results? Same with maybe Dumbbell bicep curls and hammer curls on tuesday and then friday would be barbell curls? (New exercises every so often rotated in as well?) Basically wondering how important this is if at all oppose to doing repetitive workouts. If any has any thoughts or first hand expirence on this please let me know, if you do I would appreciate some tips. Thanks! My current PPL: here submitted by /u/huntsl0 [link] [comments]
Some Deadlift Tips You May Find Helpful
Some Deadlift Tips You May Find HelpfulI am by no means a deadlift expert, or even close, but here's a few things I've encountered ever since adding the DL to my routine: 1) If your grip sucks, do not run right to straps - This is what I did and I found it really did not help that much. I couldn't double overhand 225lbs, so I just used straps for that and anything higher, but that wasn't helping my grip at all. It was honestly better for me to bite the bullet and focus on lifting lighter for more reps to get used to things. What really helped is washing my hands really well to dry out all of the oils (gym doesn't allow chalk), as well as to hold the lift at the top on lighter sets for about 5-10 seconds to work the grip. Now I can double overhand 225lbs with ease. I never use straps anymore bc every rep I do without them can only help my grip. 2) Get Better Shoes - I started out with shox like an idiot and found myself very unstable, so then I switched to barefoot. Some people love it, but I didn't find it very comfortable so I found a nice pair of Nike Zoom TR3's which are super light and flat soled. Now I'm not going to say these are the reason for my higher lifts as of lately, but they sure as hell helped (and look fresh as fuhhhhk) 3) Stop Overthinking - Sure, cues help turn shit form into good form, but too much thinking and you lose focus on the general lift which should be a simple movement. Just focus on driving with the hamstrings/glutes, straightening your legs simultaneously with bringing your torso upright, and keeping your armpits tucked. Also, do not hang out in the hole. I find that lifting 2-3 seconds after getting set will make the lift more explosive since your not wasting energy in a crouched position. Again, it may not help for everyone but it helped me a ton. Just today I repped my 1RM, so I'm hoping to hit 3 plates next week :) (I weigh 154lbs) Nothing really groundbreaking here, just trying to help out anyone who needs it! submitted by /u/jbass55 [link] [comments]
How to strengthen knees with Bursitis (M/24)
How to strengthen knees with Bursitis (M/24)I have bursitis in both my knees. What workouts could I do to strengthen them without doing too much damage? They usually hurt and I figure stronger knees would help reduce the chance of getting Bursitis again. Much appreciated! submitted by /u/anarchykidd [link] [comments]
Which alcohol does the least damage to gains?
Which alcohol does the least damage to gains?My drink of choice is wine and I only drink a day or two on the weekends, but im curious which alcohol will be the least detrimental to testosterone/muscle growth. I've read that beer is the worst because the hops themselves have estrogen in them so your getting estrogen/lowering testosterone in two ways. So which alcohol is "safest" for bodybuilding? submitted by /u/sensitiveasfuck [link] [comments]
