You need some sort resistance or pull from core work too. Planks are just plain bad. No clue how they became so popular.

seems like its just to flex being able to do it longer than the next man

i mostly just do laying leg raises and hanging leg raises. never put that much into it since my diet/cardio isnt where it'd need to be right now to get visible results.

It's rough for everyone since local sports kinda don't happen anymore.

I just do the Adrian James six pack workout app once a day.

Ab wheel rollouts are a meme

im basically in the worst shape of my life frfr this time and trying to get that momentum back :/

courts opened up here finally but there's no way i'm going anywhere near it because of the shame i'd no doubt bring to my family

I have a big head, so every time I start losing weight I just look out of sync. But if I gain weight I just get shit tier love handles.

Life is punishment.

I played my first game of football 2 weeks ago, after 3 or so months of lockdown fuckery. Really didn't go well. So slow and lacking in response.

By Facism Go To Postreally looking forward to getting in a gym session this Saturday, before football. Done fuck all but cycling since "lock-down". Have cycled about 1,500 miles though. Legs like a shitty bronze statue of a footballer.

I'm waiting till Wednesday at least and a crazy hour, otherwise it will be like January plus the rona.

By batong_doicare Go To PostI'm waiting till Wednesday at least and a crazy hour, otherwise it will be like January plus the rona.

6:30am saturday, if it's rammed i'll just nope out of their and do laps around the park.

Idk if I even posted this before, but has anyone gone vegan? I’ve tried a bunch of different recipes from various apps and sites but I just don’t like them. I need it for health reasons as meat and chicken just make my condition worse

Not vegan, but went vegetarian for a while.

Best i ever felt, before existential misery dragged me back into shitty meat eating habits.

I'm vegetarian dabbling with veganism, what do you want to know?

Pls don't ask for recipes lol

Recipes lol.

All the shit I’ve tried I didn’t like much.

By aka Espi Go To PostRecipes lol.

Have you tried meat replacements or generally other dishes that just don't include meat?

Both.

whole food plant based, tofu, fake meat, etc.

if it wasn't for my health i would just eat meat but i can't keep doing it anymore.

By aka Espi Go To PostBoth.

It's really hard to give good advice, since preferences are different for everyone.

Personally I'm not really a fan of meat replacements. Tried out the Beyond Meat burger recently, since I was curious about it and it isn't soy based. I was pleasently suprised by it, but it's not really healthy either and it's more expensive than meat. Not a big fan of tofu either.

I would honestly try out a shitload of veggies and see what you like and don't. Because recipees are one thing, but you can plan alot easier when you got a good overview. I dunno if there is a similar site in the US, but there is a german one where you can type in ingredients and it gives you recipess for that.

What I can really recommend are stews. Most of them are healthy, you can prepare them and they even taste better after a day or two in alot of cases. Most of them really deliever a flavor punch. Might not be the best choice during summer, but I would really consider trying out alot of them.

There are also some recipees where you can just replace the meat with veggies.

For example the bolognese I do can easily be done with more celery and carrots instead of the meat. Did it without meat already and it was pretty damn great.

But I'll give you one recipee.
Djuvec rice is a dish that's pretty popular in the balkan region. There are plenty of variations and it's actually mostly used as side dish. I got no problem with just using it as main course. It's easy, it's tasty as fuck and you can leave it in a pot for 2 days.
I have also used carrots in there for example and I use far more peppers than in the video. Usually doing a huge pot.

My ex was a vegetarian / vegan some days and used a couple of great cook books for recipes.

This one had some great ones but she also was a chef so I'm not sure about the difficulty.

lentils and chick peas contain a ridiculous amount of proteins and carbs. and fiber.

Gotten some huge results from no longer counting reps and focusing on my time under tension

Still gotta stick with this cut for a couple of months though

By DY_nasty Go To PostPlanks are a trash exercise in general

I see my friends bragging about these, I'm like....


But Work stress and lack of calorie intake has cost me 7-10 kg.

Fuming.

Expand on this place, this feels like it makes sense.

What are in gym for mass or to get lean?

I think I'm the only one with mask in my gym lo

Edit: nope, found another guy

By batong_doicare Go To PostI think I'm the only one with mask in my gym lol

Your meant to wear masks?

By Kidjr Go To PostYour meant to wear masks?

Nope but I'm being slightly contrarian and to me i don't see why a gym space, indoors, would be any different to say a store or supermarket, all semantics really.

By batong_doicare Go To PostNope but I'm being slightly contrarian and to me i don't see why a gym space, indoors, would be any different to say a store or supermarket, all semantics really.

Because you need enough fresh air. Obviously differs from what you're doing inside the gym, can see that I could use a mask in alot of cases, but doing cardio with a mask? No chance.

That's why I'm mainly going at night when there are hardly 3-4 people within the gym max.

My gym has a max of people at one time aswell, but I still wear a mask when coming in and moving between machines.
I take it off during the reps but with this heat at the moment, I'm not going.
38 °C outside and almost 30 inside.

Shouldn't matter if you're using your nostril breathing properly penny-kun

i only do weights, and still easing into things, so wouldn't mind wearing a mask even if it became slightly harder to breathe, but taking the mask off to drink water so often seems like a recipe for disaster. those bars are probably all coronad up

been back at the gym for 2 weeks now, and it's going okay, but lost a lot of strength, especially for squat/deadlift. shitty feeling, but it'll come back... also got more fat than I'd like around the belly which is annoying as i don't want to resort to cardio. i'll just lift weights a little faster and see how it goes

My gym has a shirty 50 minute limit that doesn't work because faux-chads like to hog benches and equipment for 30 minutes and do 15 reps the entire time.

Cancelled my membership and went with a 24 hour that only has a person limit

By Kidjr Go To PostExpand on this place, this feels like it makes sense.

Just spending more time on the eccentric rather than counting reps. So instead of my normal 12 incline press with 65 pound dbs I did 12 reps @ 40 lbs while specifically spending 4 seconds on the eccentric every single time. And I also did it unilaterally just for overall more fatigue.

right now im cutting. But I do the PHAT routine which is 2 days of strength training and 3 days of hypertrophy

this no-preworkout shit is the business.

workouts fueled by only your mind >>>

About to get on this near vegan train again. It's been an honor, gentlemen

See you Monday DY.

By Lupercal Go To PostSee you Monday DY.

pls

I did it for 8+ months a few years back. It ain't like cookouts even happen anymore. May as well just accept the circumstances.

vegan DWhy tho?

is it a quicker cut than eating meat?

By domino Go To Postvegan DWhy tho?

is it a quicker cut than eating meat?

just felt better tbh

slept better, easier to get into running and stuff, better for my skin too. i only stopped because all my friends could throw the fuck down and i wasn't trying to punish myself/be "that guy"

Go for it, when i was vegan for 6 months it was the best i ever felt, also dropped weight without dropping strength and speed.

Aye, harder to get those protein in but also harder to get the fat so leaner is usually the case. Dabble in my eggs and dairy from time to time bust mostly vegan too I would say.

Would also recommend drugs for feeling good

finally started doing some cardio and soccer training this week to see where I’m at

cuts looking more like curves
sprints feeling like a high pace jog
change of direction feels like an idea rn

i could do vegetarian but vegan? i'd rather die.

By batong_doicare Go To PostAye, harder to get those protein in but also harder to get the fat so leaner is usually the case. Dabble in my eggs and dairy from time to time bust mostly vegan too I would say.

is it really, though? lentils and chickpeas contain a high amount of protein per 100 grams.

By bud Go To Postis it really, though? lentils and chickpeas contain a high amount of protein per 100 grams.

Do you want to eat chickpeas and lentils every day though, Bud?

I feel great but I can't tell if it's the placebo effect yet

I'm also lifting til next month. I expect that first week will be brutal. I'll course correct from there.

By batong_doicare Go To PostDo you want to eat chickpeas and lentils every day though, Bud?

if you're a vegan or vegetarian who is into bodybuilding, i'm afraid you don't have much choice, habibi.

but it's pretty tasty (depending on how you make it of course). besides, it's much lighter on the stomach than meat.

I knew I was onto something

All on my soya milk/pea protein shakes atm bud

Need all my berries to hide the taste 🥺
