According.to some.these.people, doesnt matter. 10 sets in succession, or 1 set per hour for 10 hours, all the same. I'm not one who says that, but they exist.

Ih, anybody ever heard of the body adapting to a workout? So, gains stop.. be use your body has adapted to the work and you're now not losing weight, or gaining strength, or whatever. This is why strength training is PROGRESSIVE.

Not about how you feel. You saying two.ppl doing the same.thing but. The same calories? Then why the height, weight, age? Dont waste time and money on more than one set of dumbbells. Right? Since the one set affects.us all equally, we just need one set in the gym. that's sarcasm PHYSICS is a good point. Work equals force x…

I'm gonna guess its 'better' than free weights in some ways, and not much use in others. Cables (or bands) tend to be better for some lifts, as the resistance continues (and.often increases) at the "top" of the lift, while free weights lose the contraction at the end of curls, OP, leg press .... So I'd have.to.try it, but…

Food for thought for the next guy .... You start strength training today. You do bicep curls 25 lbs for 3 sets of 12. Reps 10,11, and 12 kinda sucked. 45 days from now, you do the same workout. It's easy now, almost boring to do it. You think maybe you.should move up to the 35# dumbbells. You haven't weight lifted yourself…

So you think the same.workout with longer breaks is the same.calorie burn?@! I'm not really a break person. In the time some folks call 'rest' or 'break' I could have a snack and a nap 😂 But your story doesnt take.into consideration efficiency (or the lack of it). In the first couple if months most see the weight on the…

Common causes are bad circulation to the area (lower legs routinely) and low potassium. Try stretching the calves and maybe increase potassium a bit (bananas or sweet potatoes are good sources).

I agree strength training eat first / cardio eat after. But I disagree that it doesnt matter ( it does matter). 😏

I'll say again, as I have before, that I do not believe you can get a good "guess" of calorie burn without knowing energy expenditure. You and I lift the same weight, but in terms of difficulty it's a 5 out of 10 for you but a 7 out of 10 for me. Thus, all else equal - I would burn more calories doing the same lift. Also,…

The crowd has to be a factor. I did okay with this gym for 6,7 months. But now it's getting heavy on folks who dress up in Nike, Reebok, and inderarmor so they can stand in the weight area and bash politics endlessly. Hey, they paid their membershop just like I did, and I dont own the place, so I guess they can do that.…

The question was about healthy, normally inquisitive kids. People with infirmities - physical, psychological, whatever- might need a different approach.

Parallel, or 'break the plane' is a power lifter 'rule'. Your legs were designed to bend and straighten - all in to all out. In the states, some obese and sedentary people 'decided' that couch deep is enough 😂 but pretty much everywhere else on the world people actually LITERALLY sit on their heels (its natural). Yes, drop…

Isnt saying physical therapists say things 'too much too often" one of those blanket statements?@! Uh, no matter. I likely can NOT squat 400, certainly not for 'reps'. But I can squat 200 ALL DAY LONG, which for me n my boys is a far more useful skill.

Yup. I wouldnt do squats 2 days back.to back, or heavy presses. But if you're doing heavy pressing tomorrow you.could do some pulling today. Or swimming is great for recovery. Or the treadmill. For soreness, I like low impact and blood flowing. Get the pulse up, preferably where its warm, flush that soreness (lactic acid n…

The only 'fail' you had was when you quit and walked. I dont know your injury so I cant say what you should or shouldnt do. But I will say I knew a guy.... Jim had his.leg broken and knee cap shattered in a car accident. Hospitalized for months, bed ridden. Then had a walker for a.while, then a cane for a while, then…

I dont let my boys strength train with weights. Ligament tears are permanent damage. I actually know that PROGESSIVE training is good at ANY age. But it's tough to tell young boys about progressive .... more is better, they think. So no barbells. If you cant do 25 body weight squats (min) then you.have no business picking…

Yes. Unless your soreness is from an injury, a workout will probably loosen it up and help the heal. Better to do a light workout than to do none, as 'sitting' will likely make the soreness worse AND cause you to go through it again later. Good news- when you first start is the worst of it. That wont always be like that.

I'm talkin about this one. Simple, customizable, easy to use (spend workout time working out, not looking at the phone), rings a bell after rest period you set, superset,... you 'get' it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anthonyng.workoutapp

I lift - because I enjoy it. But I KNOW AND HAVE WITNESSED that you can get (and stay) in great shape "body weight only" training. And it need not take MONTHS AND MONTHS. I had a shoulder injury that lead me to take longer to even out muscle imbalances, but otherwise I'm here to tell you that crazy progress can be made in…

No, to answer your question there is none. Too many variables. Calories are a measure of energy. And you really can't say how many will be burned unless you know the actual force used and the difficulty level of doing it. What is heavy for me may not be for you, even though we weigh the same. And all else equal, a larger…

SUPERSET LEGS/BACK do first exercise, immediately do exercise 2, then 1 min rest, that's one set SUPERSET 4 sets 8 K.t.G dumbell squats (knuckles to the ground- it's like *kitten* to grass only with dumbbells) follow immediately by 6 pullups SUPERSET 4 sets Dumbbell split squats 8 each leg, Follow immed with Single side…

Drat ... not one pic. 🤔

50 min combination of overhead press, incline press, almost flat bench press All with dumbbells Follow with 15 min high intensity running (sprint 30 sec followed by incline walk 1:30) Follow with 10 min moderate walk 3.5mph) on fairly steep grade (20 degree ish) Follow light stretching

That's the.point of using dumbbells... even out the muscle imbalance. Use a barbell and when it gets hard you tend to either stop or rely on the stronger side, which makes the imbalance worse. I always recommend same weight in each hand, but lift them same time ( NOT alternating)

Oh yeah, I make the workout ahead. This workout I been on for 5 weeks only changing the amount of weight I use. In another 2 weeks I'll switch, not let the body adapt to one workout (settle in). Paid version lets you export or share your workout, so I'll see if I can do that here. Screen shots too, could be better if they…

And if I click on , say, thurs 10/10 it shows me the summary and the detail of what exercises and hiw.many pounds and reps, and how long the workout took. I'll stop there before I start soinding.like a salesman. And they. Eed to start.paying.me 😏

And this was last month - green dots are workouts completed

Oops, that was the week, this is Mon

Well, I'll answer questions if and where I can. I actual like this app BECAUSE of the logging. My workout plan currently for Mondays ...

I do NOT miss breakfast, and my 'fasting' times are called sleep. 😳
