Lately I have been waking up with a really stiff back. Sometimes the sides of my butt hurts too.
How do I help this? Seems like my back just needs to recover more. My mattress is 100% memory foam, does it need to be firmer? Bending down and stretching every day by touching my toes seems to help a lot.
If stretching is helping I would recommend foam rolling. Also I got a cheap ass massage gun from amazon and that shit works really well, but you'll need someone to do it for you.
Got mugged by three dudes a couple years back, beat the shit out of me, ended up in the hospital. Since then I feel really weird anytime I'm walking alone at night, can't watch violent movies, think about it at least once a day even now.
Would training a combat sport help me get the fuck over this? I feel like a giant pussy about it and I want to stop feeling that way. Like holy shit I should be able to watch batman without holding back tears.
Is there a name for this exercise?
I do squat with dumbbells and as I'm going up, I push them into overhead press
The difference from what I googled as "squat press" is that I already start pushing the dumbbells while I'm squating. By this, I mean as I start going up in the squat, I start pushing, and by the time I finish squat and I'm standing, the overhead press is also finished and the dumbbells are above my head
I found it's super difficult (compared to waiting until I finished the squat and THEN overhead pressing) and I think it's good for stabilization. My whole body gets rekt doing this for a few sets, in a good way
Is it okay to replace the 5x3 scheme with the 5x5 on the gzclp program?
I feel like 5x3 is not enough given I only lift heavy once a week.
Can you get diabetes from eating too much fruit? I love strawberries, blueberries, oranges and kiwi fruits, but am worrying that it's too much sugar.
I'm stalling hard on my lifts. What program would more effectively build strength, Wendler's 531 or PPL?
>if i want to build strength should i do a strength routine or a hypertrophy routine?
hmm
I'm considering making my own gym, and I dont mean home gym but an actual business. It will be specialized towards bodybuilding and since gyms usually have certain machines but not others I'll need all the machine ideas I can get. And of course the bare minimum like dumbbells barbells and cardio machines will still be included for the beginners or for the sake of variation.
Top of foot hurts after doing jump rope and calf raises in shitty shoes. Since then, it’s been four days with ice, and it still hurts to walk.
I don’t think it’s a bone, but how much longer should this take to heal? And how can I speed up the healing process? Tired of sitting around and letting my gains wither.
What's the simplest way of eating that won't kill you?
By simple I mean lowest amount of food variety needed to keep oneself healthy.
Why don't women have an inner monologue? Isn't it weird?
How the fuck do I pick the right size ring for my girlfriend. I litterally cannot measure her finger because she is a light sleeper and any touch wakes her up, and I want to keep it secret. Already have the right ring, just need the size. And the biggest problem is that we have vacation planed in a months time and it will take 4 weeks to make a ring so I am almost all out of time. So I'm just stalking her for when she'll fall asleep to try to take a picture of her hand next to a ruler hoping it will be enough for ring maker to figure it out.
How often do you do jump rope and calf raises? If you dont do it often it could be a shock to your hard tissue like bones and ligaments that take longer to recover.
But once you recover they should be stronger.
Blindfold her. Maybe do it ahead of time before she falls asleep if you need to
That's fucking retarded. Just don't give advice if you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. How the fuck does blindfolding help, and the fuck do you plan on archieving it?
If I could tie a blindfold on without waking her up I could tie a rope around finger as easily. Also imagine it as "yeah babe I know sleeping with blindfolds is not a thing here but here is a blindfold now go to sleep"
Ask her mother. Tell her to ask your girlfriend like SHE is planning to give her a ring as a gift or any other bullshit fake story you can come up with. If her momma is gone, ask any female that fucks around her (but be sure she won’t tell your gf the secret).
should I just rope if I'm 5'1"
Yeah no good, she has no friends, and I can't trust her mom.
Is there maybe a chart of average height to finger size ratio? I'd just get the most common size and get it fixed later if it so happens to not fit properly.
Just move to philipines and you'll be average there
I need reliable creatine brand recommendations, and a whey powder that isn't high caloric
is Optimum Nutrition a meme?
Does she have no other rings you could steal and check? Could you convince her your getting her fit for a bowling ball or just a normal ring as a present? Most consistent way is to have one of her friends do it for you, girls are way better at playing this stuff off then we are and she 99% won’t suspect.
You have ptsd prob, see a therapist but yeah a martial art or a gun would also make you feel safer.
Theoretically yes, I doubt you feasibly could though unless you’re going way overboard. Don’t blend it or make smoothies because that would actually be child’s play to get diabetes.
assuming I can't do a pullup on my own yet
will I look like more of a fat clueless faggot using lat pulldown machine, or assisted pullup machine?
No she has no rings and no friends. There is no way she'll believe that I'm just buying a ring as gift unrelated to marriage. And do people just buy bowling balls where you live??
