you could try my gym partner's workout https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0785GNNR5?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=4TK9524XF78FXFMADDA2

squats, when done properly are a full body compound movement with many benefits. do them if you want or dont do them if you dont want.

bench , squat rack and dl platform.

just because someone posts a video doesn't mean this is a good idea. lol

you're probably eating more and don't realize it. SL doenst make you gain weight, calorie surplus does. And after 9/10 weeks you are past the initial water retention phase, so i doubt its that.

salty much?

you can tear an ACL without any bruising or bleeding. and sometimes its not even super painful. Depends on the actual injury. A popping sound is generally a ligament stretching or tearing. Instability is a big clue of an acl issue. If you had an acl injury prior and your knee healed you will feel fine like nothing is wrong…

Those are all symptoms that suggest you should see a sports doctor to find out whats wrong and your options. And if you cant afford a doctor or pt, you can live with it lots of people live with major knee injuries but they are prevented from doing the activities they like, or they continue and keep doing more damage. The…

i could do all that in one workout, except not the lunges i don't do lunges. I generally start with my low rep heavy sets , and the rest will be volume sets. But i also add things like high thrust, leg press, GHR, And i would only do this heavy volume leg day once a week.

lunges are knee killers, i don't do them. I have bad knees, and i wear compression knee sleeves for squats and deadlifts. Also really warm them up good, and keep them warm.

just do it but pace yourself, don't try and keep up with everyone. Go very light and do only a few reps for each set until you get your body used to it.

just glanced at the video, but you will get lots more depth if you widen your stance. Lower the bar weight to a weight you can reach depth

stretch and warm up. I use the trx to squat deep and get my knees limbered and warmed up before i go to the bar. You gotta have good form and all the muscles engaged properly to get to depth with weight. Post a video .

the top picture is not a powerlifter, she's an oly lifter. Semantics.

i never understand this forums obsession with the word "tone" The word tone does exist, and if you exercise a muscle it will get firm and toned. Everyone here says toning means shedding body fat to reveal muscle, but shedding body fat only reveals whatever is under the fat, and that can be boney joints , scrawny muscles…

Extra weight not only makes its so that you are squatting more lbs, but extra weight is hard on your body, your joints, your cardio vascular system, everything. So yes extra body weight has an impact. But... you have to also take into consideration when you are heavier, you also have more muscle so theoretically you could…

its just loose skin and sometimes time will shrink it up so you may think its from lifting weights when it could just the skin shrinking back over time Also if you do get a little bit of tricep growth from lifting it will fill in and firm up under the skin a bit giving the illusion of less hangy skin.

if you are very disciplined, you can safely take a year off, but often times that year off turns into a slow creep back up in weight with the excuse that you are taking the year off, and before you know it you are back where you started. For that reason alone, i think just get to your goal and then maintain there where you…

there are tons and tons of core exercises that you dont have to be on the floor. Hanging knee or leg raises, dead lifts, oblique band twists , weighted side bends, slam ball, battling ropes, the list goes on and on and on,

just start out slowly exercising. you dont have to go all crazy, but just start by walking or something simple . Just try and do a little more today than you did yesterday. And if you need help doing something like squats, try a suspension trainer (TRX) . It will make them easy to do and as your weight drops, you can use…

Thats just a generic group fitness class circuit to get people moving and doing some exercises that are good for you. If you are getting sore or aggravating things, slow down and pace yourself, use less weight , you dont have to go max weight in those classes. Challenge yourself but don't hurt yourself. Low weight high rep…

are you holding onto the bars and squeezing them? those are muscles used for grip

she will not be a beginner forever. And not all healthy adult females can press or row 22lbs when they start or even after they've been lifting a while. Maybe she can squat that, but chances are if she's overweight she might even need squat assistance like the TRX. 3lb weights aren't necessarily bad if it puts something in…

dont say that. The amt of weight someone uses is very specific to their level what they are doing. Some people can't even lift their own body weight and just going through the motions with a light weight dumbbell will get them started . I would not put a 10KG weight in the hands of someone just starting out. Odds are as a…

my guess is the time being active and using your body has more benefits than the being strong part. A person can be strong but be very unhealthy, just being strong doesn't imply good health. And a person can be active but not super strong and be very healthy. Although being both strong and active is the best of both…

a lot of people have shoulder issues which makes it hard for them to hold a conventional squat bar. Does your gym have a safety bar or cambered bar? they aren't as hard on your shoulders.

Of course that is ideal, but not everyone can do that (nor needs to do that). if you continue reading that page, it says 10-15 minute sessions a few times a day is also beneficial

and the AHA: Being physically active is important to prevent heart disease and stroke, the nation’s No. 1 and No. 5 killers. To improve overall cardiovascular health, we suggest at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise (or a combination of moderate and vigorous…

here is what Livestrong says: Several Short Workouts Contrary to what you might think, putting a little time and effort here and there into exercising is enough when you look at the larger picture of health and fitness. The more vigorous your exercise, the more calories you will burn, even if you increase intensity for…
