Have you found implementing pull ups has helped you much so far? I follow the SL5X5 program, but trying to add a bit extra mass to the chest and shoulder by throwing 50 push ups to the end of each of my workout days.
Yes I’ve found pull ups having a positive impact, don’t do them every day though just when ever I feel like. All down to diet though I suppose to see fat loss as just been too slack recently due to lockdown will be more motivated once gyms reopen0 -
Nice. Might have to invest in a pull up bar on payday.
And yeah, I've found the same.. most of the work is done in the kitchen, and i've been dying to get to the gym. 26th April can't come fast enough.0 -

Do you mean hamper muscle growth? And by running how far are you talking about?1 -

Couple of runs per week 3-5 miles was thinking of doing0 -
This would not impact. Some cardio. is recommended for cardiovascular health. Also this past year I've learned it maintauns a healthy lymph system. It's the lymph that removed the byproducts of muscle recovery.
Long distance running like marathon stuff would be counterproductive to muscle growth.1 -

It will also help regulate the small calorie deficit you're trying to maintain. I would not worry about distance if you are just beginning to run - rather focus on time. Start with walk/run for :15 min twice/week and build from there.1 -
Today’s workout

Good job dude. Keep at it.1

Just been for my first run. Crikey had to stop and walk as was blowing out of my *kitten*! Hopefully fitness picks up 😃0

Nice one Matt.
So... perhaps you can help me out. I’ve tried to work what “*kitten*” means and am puzzled and intrigued. Is it just a substitute for an expletive?2 -

Gyms reopen in 2 weeks in the uk. I’ll be going 2 times per week due to my work shifts and having kids. Any advice on what type of workout to do on both days? I’m looking to build muscle0

My vote would be for Rippletoe’s Starting Strength barbell program. Big compound lifts and not too many exercises.

It progresses to this, although I’d be a bit wary doing power cleans without coaching.0 -

You’ve asked a few times and been answered a few times. Is there something wrong with or something you don’t like about the suggestions that have been provided previously?1
