Groin pain when squatting?
Groin pain when squatting?I unfortunately dont have a video of my form. I get pain in the tendon that connects one of the muscles in my thigh to my groin area. It's that large tendon you can see when you abduct your legs. Anyone have an idea of what might be causing it? I'm relatively new to weight training, so I'm sure my form needs work. submitted by /u/hannawillneverfindme [link] [comments]
Should i lower volume of workout when cutting?
Should i lower volume of workout when cutting?I have lost about 7lbs since I started to cut. I think it was about 1 and a half or two months ago. I track my calories and I follow it very closely on myfitnesspal. The eating part of the cut is not hard. I get enough proteins in because i do meal prep every Sunday so i have no problem with my diet. The only problem I have is I can not keep up with my workout. I feel stressed when i go workout. It is not fun anymore. I follow coolcicade's PPL routine except i modify a little to fit me. Flat Barbell Bench Press: 4x5-6 Seated (or Standing) Barbell Shoulder/Overhead Press: 3x5-6 Incline Barbell Bench Press: 3x5-6 Dumbbell Side Lateral Raise: 3x10-12 Rope Pushdowns (circuit machine): 3x10-12 Overhead Dumbbell Extension or similar triceps exercise: 3x10-12 Shrugs(circuit machine or dumbbells): 3x10-12 Pull (Back/Biceps): Barbell Rows: 3x5-6 Lat Pulldowns with (Long Bar or V-bar) (circuit machine): 3x8-10 Seated Rows (circuit machine) - optional if already doing barbell rows: 3x8-10 Face-pulls: 3x-10-12 Barbell Bicep Curls (Alternate between close and normal grip): 4x-10-12 Choice of one other bicep exercise (typically Hammer Curls): 3x10-12 Legs (Quad/Ham/Calves): Barbell Squats: 4x5-6 Leg Press (optional if already doing above squats): 3x8-10 Leg Extensions (circuit machine): 3x10-12 Hamstring Curls (circuit machine): 3x10-12 Standing Calf Raises (circuit machine): 5x10-12 So I can not keep up with this volume and the weight. I was able to do 4 sets of 6 reps @ 175lbs bench before cutting, and today I can only do 3 sets of 6 reps 175lb and 1 set of 175lbs for 3 reps. I am slowly losing strength and it is very depressing. My question is should i cut down my volume when I cut? I want to make gym fun again. If i cut down my volume and i complete my workout, I wont feel guilty and that will make working out fun again. People of reddit that have cut before, do you modify your workouts? Do you lower your volume? Any tips. Thanks. submitted by /u/bluejimmy168 [link] [comments]
If my bar has two 20kg plates on 1 side, and four 10kg plates on the other side, does this make any microscopic difference?
If my bar has two 20kg plates on 1 side, and four 10kg plates on the other side, does this make any microscopic difference?Sometimes my gym runs out of plates during peak hours, and i have to make do with the left over weights. However I feel like it stresses me out knowing the bar is not perfectly even, even though it weighs the same on both sides. Does this make the slightest difference at all? Or is it just an OCD thing? submitted by /u/championmitch [link] [comments]
Trouble finding a good gym? Try to find one with a little class.
Trouble finding a good gym? Try to find one with a little class.So I recently moved to a new area and lost my gym. The only gyms around here are a Planet Fitness and a 24 hour place with a single squat rack and I like to work out at 6pm. Needless to say there's a wait. So I got creative. Turns out the local community college has an awesome gym, loaded down with everything you could want, and outside of class times it's freaking empty. Turns out signing up for one class is all it takes to get free access to this wonderland. The cost of taking a single class is about on par with what I was paying for gym membership anyway. So now for what I was paying before I get to work out my body and mind take fun classes like photography this semester. submitted by /u/Another_Desk_Jockey [link] [comments]
Tips for not clenching jaw during strenuous exercises and lifts?
Tips for not clenching jaw during strenuous exercises and lifts?Hey guys. I had a procedure a few months ago and am allowed to go back to weightlifting - with the caveat that I'm not allowed to clench my teeth together EVER. I'm not really a teeth clencher, but I'm worried that as my lifts get harder (I'm still a beginner) that I may want to start doing it. I've also noticed that I tense my face up a lot during the hardest part of my lifts and I'd like to minimize that as much as possible. So, what are your tips for relaxing your face and jaw during lifts? submitted by /u/subverxion [link] [comments]
