Welcome! Question, how many reps and sets are you doing for each exercise? On the calf, just make sure to keep it moving and stretch it out daily. Avoid any jumping till it's healed.Hey everyone!
First time poster and i'm excited for the group.
Cardio: 0-pulled my calf from basketball yesterday. Got a slight limp. Hoping to do some treadmill tmw
Strength: Back/Bis- Bent over barbell rows, pull ups, machine bent over rows, lat pull downs, chin ups, barbell curl, superset db curl, barbell preacher curl

I do 3 sets of 8-10 reps. Although every set I make sure the weight is heavy enough where the last rep is almost failure so then my second set I may have to drop the weight. Yes i've been stretching frequently and doing hot tub a couple times a day with epsom salt mixed in at times.0 -

Quick question. Is the order you have it in, the order you do it? If so, change it and do all the compound movements first. So all the rows and bench presses first, then biceps. That way you utilize your energy storage better. You're stronger at the beginning of any workout versus the end so use that energy on the larger muscles first.Wednesday done!

Hey!
Today was a difficult morning day. I weighed in and seemed to gain a lb from 5 days ago. I guess i'm a bit sensitive in the beginning of this journey that each weigh in is a bit more impactful. I know my weight fluctuates and i'm sure IF I weighed in tmw it would say I lose a lb but I took it a bit hard and ended up eating like 5 granola bars. Not the worst cheats but a small moment of 'adversity' that I overcame.
Cardio: 30 mins elliptical
Strength: Back/Bis-Planks, Weighted pull ups, weighted chin ups, bent over barbell rows, machine bent over rows, lat pull downs, barbell curl, superset db curl, barbell preacher curl,
Assessment: Chicken stir fry0 -
Just need to remember that weight loss isn't linear. You could do the same exact diet and routine next week and lose 2lbs. The body reacts to different stimuli and no 2 days are exactly the same. Being consistent is what ensures that weight loss continues.Hey!
