Strength training: Why you shouldn't be discouraged

https://thenewdaily.com.au/life/wellbeing/2023/06/10/building-muscle-as-you-age/

The last three days of May turned out to be a sum of the month - some days good, others just ok, and a few fantastic ones!
I set my daily goal for May to 10,000 steps, 30 heart points, and 2000+ Calories used, carrying 20-25 lbs, and do regular sets of weight lifting.
I reached those goals, and exceeded them - setting the bar for June!!

This weight bench is supposed to support 600 pounds. It seems fairly sturdy, but I have my doubts about that claim. Hopefully it'll hold me and some reasonably light dumbbells. #WeightTraining

Apparently mastodon.lol died so I've joined med-mastodon in hopes of finding a long-term home as I'm never going back to the bird-site.

I'm a certified #pmp and #mba in a management position at a major #healthcare payer. I'm interested in #operationsmanagement, #publichealth, and #datascience.

I'm a parent/grandparent/pet-parent. My husband is #Lebanese, my daughter is #Palestinian, and it's a long story.

My interests include #computers, #books, #weighttraining, and #swimming.

#introduction

Ordered a sturdy, foldable bench for working out with my dumbbells. Now I'll have no excuse not to put these muscles to work again! It's been years since I last lifted weights. After gradually losing weight, my arms look kind of spindly. #WeightTraining

Finally finally finally got in a #weightlifting session after wayyy too long! Had a bit of a fuck around, did all the big lifts and a couple favorite accessories without worrying too much about if I was doing "enough." It was fun!! Also hot damn do I love inverted rows.

#lifting #weighttraining

Was hoping to make a triumphant return to #weightlifting tonight after a wonderful week at the beach, but a #fatigue attack got the best of me. Hoping tomorrow is a better day. It's been way too long since I lifted anything heavy and, in an exciting development, I'm finally starting to miss it after over two months away.

Super excited to try this bad boy out. The latest addition to my home gym.

My deadlifts are getting heavy enough that I needed to look into protecting my lumbar spine from shear forces.

Welp, just split my favorite pair of #gym shorts in the ass/crotch this #morning while doing #squats. The same thing happens with #jeans and some shirts. The annoying thing about having a #thick build is finding #clothes that fit properly. I'm so #annoyed.

I've been #workingout and putting on #muscle. But, one of the annoying things is my testosterone levels are sky high, so I'm #horny all the time.

The behavior at gyms is outrageous sometimes. I'm at my gym using the leg extension machine. I've finished my set and am waiting between sets, so I stand up. While I'm standing right by it, someone tries to get on it! They act like they didn't know I was still using it.

Back at it ! Managing recovery and progress! #workout #motivation #fitness #run #consistencycounts #weighttraining

Off to the #gym! I wanted to change my routine and decided to get a new Jeff Nippard’s 5-day split routine for hypertrophy. It’s got preset warmups, feeder sets, mechanical dropsets, cluster sets etc. It looks pretty good, especially that it includes some exercises I haven’t done before.

Today's menu:
• Bench Press
• Larsen Press
• Standing Dumbbell Arnold Press
• Press-Around ss. with Pec Static Stretch 30s
• Cross-Body Cable Y-Raise
• Squeeze-Only Triceps Pressdown ss. with Stretch-Only Overhead Triceps Extension
• N1-Style Cross-Body Triceps Extension

And this is how it should look like: https://youtu.be/c3pbe3qzatQ

My #fitness goal in new year is to get shredded to 10% body fat (currently 20%) and then start bulking again. From my experience I can say it will take about 12-15 weeks.

I want to bench my body weight before Summer and squat bodyweight before April.

I set up my #MacroFactor program. Let’s go then and get rid off these love handles! 🏋🏻‍♂️

A new article about muscle strains and how to lower the risk of injury during strength training.

For the #Fitness and #WeightTraining Mastadonians, is it possible to build significant muscle mass only with bodyweight exercises?

Losing fat while gaining muscle, commonly called “body recomposition” or “recomping,” is indeed possible. However, it’s not for everybody. Trex wrote an article about it. Personally, I think it’s easier to cut and bulk in phases to get better results.
