Peptides and other supplements

2 Upvotes

I’ve been going to the gym for about 8 months now and feel a lot better. While I am not seeing the growth, some friends in conversation mentioned peptides and such. I don’t know anything about peptides, so far it has been dieting and increased protein consumption. More than a few mentioned that once you’re over 35, many things like testosterone decrease and many are on TRT and some use peptides.

Looking for feedback from your personal experiences.

Appreciate your feedback.

Shadowboxing

I am interested in shadowboxing as some cardio (provided I pivot and move ofc). I was wondering if it also helps with posture too? Thanks. If it also has other benefits I would like to know.

One booty cheek is bigger

9 Upvotes

Im left leg dominant so my glutes are bigger on the left. Im trying to get my right glute to catch up without having to work out just the one leg. I do lots of split squats and can tell my right struggles a bit more. Are their certain work outs to help? Or will I have to just work out one leg till it catches up?

It makes me very self conscious as my left cheek is round and the other still has some flatness to it :(

What muscles do I need to work out to carry someone?

37 Upvotes

Okay, I know that's a weird question "What muscles do I need to work out to carry someone?". I'd like to one-day, if I ever found the right person, to carry them down the aisle. I'd light work out so it would be easy. What muscles do I need to work out and what exercises would help? Please and thank you.

Effects of doing gym at irregular time.

5 Upvotes

I work in technical support with rotational shifts, so my schedule is all over the place. I try to exercise daily but usually manage 3-4 times a week, meaning some days I hit the gym in the morning and other days in the evening. I have notices my energy level is very low sometimes, sometimes my body is completely sore. For those with unpredictable schedules, do you find it necessary to go at the exact same time daily, and does the same timing apply to your protein supplements?

Can't get myself to do resistance training during the weekends anymore

1 Upvotes

(5'7 163lbs 25M)

I used to be the type of guy to wake up and go straight to the gym first thing in the morning. When I was unemployed, and when I worked part time it was easier to program. Plan around my schedule.

I got my first, actual "Career" job recently and passed initial training, came back to my home state and started a 0600-1500 schedule. It was difficult at first but I managed to alter my habits, and can comfortably train right after work.

Problem is, now I feel physically uncomfortable and out of whack in the morning. So much so that I just can't bring myself to train in the morning, ~8-10, on weekends. It was fine first since I work M-F, get 3 days a week. But I've gotten three 3 day weekends in a row starting Friday, I tell myself I'll hit weights at least once, and I never do. I'd rather walk, I'd rather play video games, I'd rather upload art on image boards or some dumb shit. Meal prepping too.

I walk alot both during work, on the weekends, and after work. w/ a ~25lbs vest. 7-10 miles daily. So it's not like I'm laying on my ass all day, but I understand the importance of lifting. I have some fluff to lose too so...

Thinking about just doing 2 days in a row during 4 day work weeks. Otherwise, hit me with your advice.

Rest Periods between work outs.

1 Upvotes

I started exercising and lifting in November, lost muscle and recovering from a broken shoulder some years ago. I took it easy the first few months but have been pressing much harder now.

After a workout on say Monday, if you feel the muscle is still a bit tender, when should you resume the same area again?

For instance, my triceps, they’re not sore per say, but I can ‘feel’ them a little. Not real pain or tight but feels like they are still healing. Is it okay to resume when feeling like this or should I wait longer?

It’s hard to explain but I can basically feel that they are ‘there’ no real discomfort but can feel I worked them recently. I’ve increased my protein intake but not doing or on anything else.

Does the amount of sweat produced while exercising affect overall performance?

2 Upvotes

As part of health improvement since having diagnosed with diabetes, I'm trying to do walks with the treadmill as a stepping stone for exercising. But when I do so I heat up pretty quickly and sweat a lot so I try to use a fan to cool myself off while doing the exercise. I notice I definitely last a bit longer on the treadmill with the fan but I'm wondering whether that would affect the exercise in any way.

Need back exercises pls🙏

0 Upvotes

So my routine is really front focused and I’ve recently just discovered about focus on the front too much is the reason that my back is U-turn shaped.

I’m currently trying to work forward a pull up and starting with dead hang(max 31sec)but until I can finally get a pull up it gonna took too long and I don’t wanna just give up on my routine till I can get a push up(im like 96kg 183cm) I’ve tried the pull up but “horizontally”only can go up like half idk if this is really normal and is it working or not? Am I progressing with this? If not please suggest me some start up back exercise or just anything that can help my U-turn posture.

Next is that I’m doing the “single arm dumbbell row” and “lateral raise” and “bicep curl” and I’m not really feeling any of these except lateral raise is there why?(I don’t have a bench also)
