Everyone makes a huge deal about dieting though, that's the only reason it's such a big deal to me. I noticed I don't eat enough vegetables in my diet so that's a good think I am paying more attention to it. Anyways. I'll worry about eating the protein part first then finish it up with eating as much carbs as possible.
I wasn't aiming for a low fat diet, I just over went the fat with how much alfredo I ate haha.
Yeah, you do make a good point. I think my diet will help me get a general idea of what I'll be eating through out the day etc. otherwise I'll probably not eat close to where I'm supposed to be eating.
I would like to figure out why I am having the issues during BB rows though, I never had them before but I may be implementing form incorrectly. I'll post a video for you to criticize then I can get some good idea of how to do them right if they are wrong. (I meant criticize in a good way
)It’s not that I wouldn’t do Rows I just feel that Supported DB Rows are more effective because I can get a greater range of motion than with BB or Cable Rows. Part of this is that I can get a better stretch at the bottom besides pulling the DB up higher than a BB because it’s off to the side and doesn’t hit my body. I also feel I can do them more strictly since it’s supported however that can be done with BB and Cable if you have the right equipment.
Some people feel the Chest Dip is more effective than the Bench as a mass building exercise. Not sure if there’s any proof to this or if it just depends on the person. Many people, I for one, can Chest Dip more than Bench Press. So that alone could create more potential for grown.
Yeah, I definitely feel as though Chest Dip works better than the Bench Press. It's probably more of a psychological thing than anything because I don't fear weight falling on me. On another note, I was weighing 177lbs in the morning and now I'm weighing 182.5lbs so hopefully that's not of fat haha.
I’m not sure about everyone else but I can do more weight while maintaining strict form by doing supported DB rows. If you don’t have the equipment then just do regular rows supported or not depending on what you have available. My main reason for suggesting supported rows is not because they are my preference but because you seem to still be having back issues and until you address that problem I would try to limit doing exercises that hit the lower back hard, either until it becomes stronger (if that’s the problem) or you get the underlying problem corrected.
It’s muscle glycogen, creatine, the food in your gut and associated water retention that increased your weight so dramatically. It’s usually pointless to weigh yourself more than once a day preferably in the morning right when you get up. That will give you the most consistent measurements, however, even then only by tracking your weight over the course of a week or so and watching the trend will you get any real idea if you are gaining, losing or maintaining weight.
Yeah, I understand.
I only weigh myself only once and it's as soon as I wake up then take care of my toilet duties.
She said that I could within a few days but I'm gonna give it a good solid week before I jump into 10s. I want to make sure it's better before I start lifting heavier.
I'll get to updating soon though!
