Can I do a HIIT routine the same day as my Strong Lifts routine?
Can I do a HIIT routine the same day as my Strong Lifts routine?Just getting back in to the swing of things, I've been educating myself and trying to put together a routine. I only have three days a week I can get to the gym, I want to continue to weight train while burning fat. Is doing a HIIT routine like the first one posted here after my Strong Lifts Routine a good way to go or is that too much strain on myself for one day? submitted by /u/Wappyspay_Jerry [link] [comments]
M/23 165lbs - Am I where I should be?
M/23 165lbs - Am I where I should be?Started 5X5 about a year ago - havent been 100% consistant as I travel for work often, but I have been going at. Last May I weighed in at 150 lbs and today I weigh 165lbs at 5'9''. I'm at 230lb squat, 165lb BP and 240lbs for dead lift. I've had to deload by 10% because I was traveling for a week, so these numbers are my historic max. Am I considered "strong" for my size, am I falling behind, should I be lifting more? Opinions? submitted by /u/im00ny [link] [comments]
Ab workout recommendation while on PPL?
Ab workout recommendation while on PPL?I'm asking this on here simply because there's way too many different stuff when I search on Google, and alot of it is bullshit. That, and you guys give solid advice most of the time. So along with my 6 day PPL workout, I want to incorporate some ab work on leg day. The only exercise I know of is planks and hanging leg raises though. Any other important ones? Also how many sets? Any advice and information would be appreciated. Thanks. submitted by /u/FrozenVision [link] [comments]
Do you need complete rest days?
Do you need complete rest days?For example if you do upper body one day and lower body the next, will the upper body grow and recover in the same amount of time as doing no lifting at all the next day submitted by /u/Ubernoobjp [link] [comments]
Program Selection Help
Program Selection HelpSo I've just gotten into powerlifting and wanting to improve my total in general but I'm very confused with what type of program would be suitable. I have a 105kg squat for 5, 80kg bench for 5 and 115kg Deadlift for 5 at 80kg BW and aged 20. In general, I'm a bit confused whether a novice program with linear progression is still good for me and if something as basic are starting strength or greyskull lp would be good or should I move to something with a bit more volume like Candito's LP program. Thanks for any help given. submitted by /u/Darkmaterial95 [link] [comments]

Is there a safe bumper to non-bumper ratio?
Is there a safe bumper to non-bumper ratio?I'm thinking about saving my pennies and buying stuff to start a home gym. Just a bar, a bench, a rack, plates and the heavy duty rubber mat. Thing is, I live in Brazil, olympic lifting equipment is sold as "Crossfit equipment", and ridiculously overpriced. The cheapest bumpers I found are R$ 30 per kilo (R$ 600 for a single 45 lb/20 kg bumper, for reference the minimun monthly wage is R$ 880). Iron plates are considerably cheaper, at R$ 5 a kilo. So, a bumper can safely "bump" to compensate for how much weight in iron ones? Does it matter if the iron plates never touch the ground (no iron 20s, making the bumpers the largest ones and the only ones to touch the ground)? Is it a good idea to buy one, AT MOST two pairs of bumper 20s and fill up with iron 10s and 5s? submitted by /u/LuisGelati [link] [comments]
