Lately, I have been feeling pain when I finish a set of squats(in the Quads). Anybody have an idea of why I am feeling pain? Its not the burning sensation either, its just straight up pain. Its also the only exercise I am having this problem with.
Might be a tendon or ligament injury. If itās at the place where your quad meets your knee or up where your quad meets your hip, its probably that. If itās in the middle, you may probably have a small rip in the muscle, or a really bad strain. Or possibly nerve damage due to something else. It could be a buttload of things.
Either way, go see a doctor. I wouldnāt mess around with leg pains, cause you sorta have to use them for the rest of your life.
Question
Well I want to get abs but I am not sure if I am eating right (Iāve heard that abs arenāt made in the gym but in the kitchen)
here is what I eat daily
Breakfast:
Cereal or eggs or a cheese sandwitch
Lunch:
Fruit (1 a day, usually pear, apple, or banana)
One sub sandwitch (ham, cheese, lettuce)
Milk
For dinner:
Rice (gotta have saily rice, not too big of a portion)
Chicken or Steak (1 chicken breast or regular sized steak)
Some sort of vegetable (Usually lettuce or tomato, 1 per day)
I tend to eat either a bag of cheetos or 2 chocolate bars a day.
I weight 155 punds and I am 5ā7"
Help would be appreciated
:karate:
You weigh 155 and your abs arenāt visible? Are you joking?
You shouldnāt be worrying about cutting, you should be bulking.
Actually I think I am 160 right now and close to 5ā8" (Iām still growing)
My whole upper body is a mess. I got man boobs (not much but STILL) and I got a belly (itās not big but still pretty big)
I also heard somewhere that to lose all that fat you should only do cardio because the muscle will be built up below the fat meaning that you will even look fatter, this true?
No, itās not true. Muscle burns calories to work. So generally if you have a lot of muscle and a little extra fat, youāll start losing fat more quickly.
Iād suggest you put on some muscle, despite if you have a belly or small man boobs. When you put on muscle it wonāt be as noticeable.
i weigh 160 and am 5ā8. i donāt have a gut or boobs. actually my upperbody is pretty built. what are you doing for exercise? you donāt need cardio you need to build muscle mass.
i recently started taking N02 and creatine.are there any other supplements you guys suggest?
Well builting mustle is not my thing I can barely do 15 push ups and Iām no good at lifting 12+ dumbells.
I do have a big upperbody though (Iām always told I have a big chest) so any good exersises to built both my arms and chest?
1 to 1.5 grams of protein per lb of body weight per day
2 to 2.5 grams of carbs per lb of body weight per day
no more candy or cheetos dude.
hit the gym devotedly
chest= bench press, dumbell press, pullover
shoulder= lateral raises, overhead dumbell press
biceps= curls
chest=dumbell flye,incline presses
gaining muscle is not that hard, it just takes devotion. i had to lose a ton of fat before i started gaining muscle, i weighed 215
Thanks man :tup:
Btw do you happen to have a link to this? maybe instructions with pictures on how to do them?
i actually do not recommend doing pulloevers for chest, most pulling movements are for backā¦personally i would save pullovers for backā¦
im outi
Roberth
dumbell pullovers are for the chest
barbell for the back
at least thats what iāve seen
Pullovers are definately for chest and rib cage expansion. They are certainly NOT for back. Helps to know the exercise before you spout off fellas.
at least i was partially correct. i do them all the time
How you guys doing man. Heat, Chaos, long time since weāve talked lifting. I just got back in the gym coming off yet another shoulder injury.
What kind of ab workout do you guys reccomend: here are my stats
6ā0", 180-185 pounds. 33" waist.
Just looking to get abs and a little arm definition.
Well, Iāve been looking to gain weight, I suppose somewhere in the area of 20-30 pounds. I used to work out a bit in highschool, but I barely gained five pounds from it, so I got a bit discouraged. Personally, Iām not even sure if itās possible for me to gain weight. Iāve been keeping up with my protein intake, which I suppose isnāt too hard to do, but it is a bit annoying to limit my food choices. Iāve never really believed that fat was ābadā for me, but I guess I could cut that down if I need to. Iām also thinking about going back to the gym, as Iāve been doing home exercises, like pushups, situps, curls, etc.
What do you think would be a good calorie intake ratio? 30-40-30 seems balanced to me, but some people seem to push mass protein.
Are there any specific exercises I should do to bulk up, or should I just try to work my whole body over?
And then I guess anything elseā¦
100-105 lbs.
30-25-30"
3-4% bodyfat
And I guess I can give out anything else I know if anybody needs the info.
Thanks in advance.
