Never heard that about the spine.

definitely want to protect the back

I've seen what it can do to people

I know a jogger who had to stop after she ended up with three herniated disks in her spine, her life has never been the same

Brisk walk is the best low intensity cardio imo. Melt the fat away while preserving muscle.

Geezus

What really? Joggin is bad?

Overdoing it can be, yeah

cycling can be a good alternative, it's meant to be good for the spine

better on the knees too

Cycling is bad for the balls

yeah, jogging down hill is awful for the knees

and lol true true

@MufflePuff depending of how much one weights, the running can put too much stress on the spine and discs, causing weak spots and generating rupture

But flat surface us ok?

@Kazemaru makes sense

jogging up a slight incline is best

And pinched nerves are no joke

anyone know a program that increases your bench that doesn't include bulking on 4000 calories

rn i'm going to the gym twice a week and benching 5 sets a workout, looking to increase 1 rep a week

@Daribig Progressive overload.

@Daribig try practicing power yoga

currently donig pause bench 70 for 5,5,4,4,4

power yoga? i'll give it a read

Best way to get stronger in my experience is doing 5 sets of 5.

@MufflePuff i'm trying to overload with longer pauses here and there

Any good sources for yoga devoid of thottery?

@Roundabout Lout there's some YouTube tutorials

This @Roundabout Lout

yeah,i used to follow a progeam by some guy called jason blaha - used to only use a 5x5 set - rep scheme

But I forgot the links

maanged to reach a 90 for 3 pause bench but got injured through sport and here i am

@Daribig blaha is cool. I like Chris Jones (Pumpchasers).

I say just stick to 5 sets of 5 clean reps, once or twice a week, for 3-6 months.

the only thing with chris is that he advocates for split routines, whereas blaha says that performing a full body workout 2-3 times a week is sufficient

Make sure you’re getting enough calories, protein, carbs and fats.

Anyone here who likes calisthenics need to check out RedDeltaProject

@MufflePuff yeah, thank you

All depends on what works for you. @Daribig

I love the split regimen.

@Deleted User I suppose thats really close to yoga
