@Pat-MA I believe there is
There is not, we have a few channels for it on Mercury.
So we can keep this server for now, and then just use Mercury at that time.
Just got the women’s server to add a fitness section because I figured most men and woman exercise a little differently/ have different goals. Plus it’s more comfy for women to post progress pictures and such in a female exclusive area. I’ll probably still direct a lot of my fitness questions here tho until the women’s server gets a little more active
@NITRODUBS yeah good call
I got the idea because I wanted to post before and after pics then realized it probably wouldn’t be appropriate on a male dominated server lmao
MALE DOMINATION
AAAAAHHHHHHH 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@NITRODUBS Yeah, good initiative. Get that female fitness section active!
REEE IM SO OPPRESSED!!!
And I don’t think this server wants me spamming my yoga crap lmao
@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA Is Arnold to be believed for people doing it natty, though? No way he wasn't on some kind of juice
Of course he was. He said that was one of the reasons for coming to the states was for better drugs. But his work out motivation and routines are still valuable.
Thats how I started lifting. My father followed him back when he was competing and taught me what he learned from Arnold.
Starting Strength is one of the best plans to start with in my opinion.
If one were looking for one to start
@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA I started with the turk meme stronglifts 5x5 added with curls and pulls. kettlebell and runs on off days. I am seeing great progress but it may be many more months until I get really big
I started with a month of keto too but now I am just at a generic low carb
keto gave me gut distress
I have a buddy that has been doing keto and has lost 20 lbs in a couple months. I dont think its for everyone though.
I have tried different routines but always come back to super sets as Arnold speaks about.
Chest/back, Biceps/Triceps integrate shoulders into either day. I also throw in some legs between the two days as well but sometimes just add a third day of legs.
@The Huwhyte Ulf - VA Yeha I lost 30 but I was 300 to start
Oh yes I always do weighted calf raises
They say calves recover quickly
Ive had that impression with mine. Gotta go heavy to see results. At least for myself
same with biceps.
Those are weak areas of mine
I just don't want to look weird, with big thighs and hips and butt from deadlifts and squats but tiny lower legs
Calves make or break you having "chicken legs"
Look up Kevin Nee, he is a strongman with basically nonexistent calves. It looks strange, but I don't think anyone ever thinks he skips leg day
Some peoples genetics dont allow their bodies to be as asthetic as others.
TBH yeah you need to put some work into them, but I think BIG calves are pretty ugly.
Nee looks fine.
>training calves
@Deleted User you don't approve?
Half joking here
they can definitely be aesthetic and add proportion, I'm just lazy about them
I got my calves from playing sports and hiking
Be a good Alpenmeister and go for a hike once a week
