Yeah I was surprised and disappointed when I found out that adults are still behaving this way.  

 

I guess age really is just a number though. 🤷‍♀️

I understand when we were all kid's but now vast majority of us have kid's and still behaving like this? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I guess I'll just have to grab the popcorn 🍿🍿

This sort of thing still goes on? 🤣 I'd of thought everyone would of grown up by now and just have fun🤦‍♂️

1) Full routine in terms of workout timings or full day (meals, workouts etc)?

2) Yes, the shoulders are getting better, but I have too much excess fat. This is not a big issue in American football, a lot of defensive linesmen got a belly, we aren't built to have abs or look like the next Mr Olympia, but I'm not a guard or tackle, I need to lose it because its stuff that could be going into better areas.

3) Yes.

4) For a full day? This is a variable from week to week.

We'll go for a "Normal" day

1400-1600 kcal (around 300-350 carbs, frequently higher)

1000kcal Protein (around 300-350g protein)

1000kcal Fat (around 120~g)

5) Not off the top of my head, my gym has one of those scale things that'll tell you but where I haven't been in a while and have changed shape, it won't be accurate.

6) I should, but don't.

7) I think my diet needs fixing here, I need to eat more, but not more of what I eat right now.

 

Thanks for the advice sofar btw, appreciate it mate. 

Yeah what's your lifting/cardio routine? What are your goals? 

So you want to lose fat but your trying to bulk at same time it can happen with a recomp diet but it's slow unless your using PEDs and I don't recommend them at this stage if at all. 

You have to decide really what you want to do if you want to get to 90kg then adjust diet and slowly add on the weight to get as much lean mass as possible.

BMR is basal metabolic rate. So how many calories your body needs each day to just maintain your current bodyweight If you know roughly what this is then you can adjust your calories from there.

What sort of carbs and fats are you consuming? When do you take them? 

If your not gaining weight at 3600 calories then you need to add more calories. Do you carb cycle at all or is it just the same every day? 

If you are leaning out whilst staying at 85kg then your diet at moment would need an extra 300-500 calories in diet to add 1lb/.5kg a week which is all you need.

You can send a reply via PM if it's easier mate I can go through everything if you want. Working from home at moment and I got plenty of time to kill 😅.

Hi, mostly home workout atm, gym return soon. my gym is in Jersey (channel island) where I live atm, I play for an American Football team based in London, and I am in London a lot atm helping my sister in Reading with childcare. So very often I have to make use cos I refuse to get a 2nd gym sub or pay for day passes.

 

Barbell press is standing, arnolds are seated. 

I had to google what a rear delt is, I've played American football 3 years but only started working out a year ago so you'll have to bear with me and hopefully be able to provide some insight (my disc is Lavigne#0001 if you wanna add me and I can dm you with queries); not ashamed to say aside from the plans given to me and generally "what feels good to do" - I don't have a professional/reg idea what I'm doing a lot of the time. I have done rear delts in the gym without knowing they're rear delts, with something that looks like this:

https://www.muscleandfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1109-Rear-Delt-Machine.jpg?quality=86&strip=all

Different weights, my laterals are done with lighter weights. 

Diet is relatively in check I think, but despite having a lot of carb heavy days I still feel like I'm really short sometimes - I do not have a professional diet plan, I have to work it out as I go along but I'll admit my lack of experience is causing issues. Either I don't take enough in and lose weight (I need to stay at around 90-95kg for my position, I am 6 ft 2, I am frequently stuck on 85), or I don't gain because my workouts burn everything off too easily. I almost never take supplements or shakes, but will usually take some kind of fluid recuperation with me to the gym (usually Hosstile's Intra workout) and have a protein shake at home.

My disc crashes constantly on my phone so not got it at minute until I get a new phone. 

What's your full routine? 

Are you making progress in other areas?

Do you count your calories to make sure your eating enough every day?

What is your macro nutrient breakdown?

Do you know what your BMR is? 

Do you factor in your American football for calories burnt and adjust your diet accordingly?

If your not gaining weight you need to eat more. 

Cheers everyone. It's nice to see a community still going strong. I have been browsing over forums during another sleepless night.

Rona has hit me like a tonne of bricks, never felt so weak in my life. I'm about 7 days in now so fingers crossed I'm through the worst of it.

4x 10 barbell press, 3x 20 arnold press 3x 12 laterals with lighter dumbells, every couple of days I do lunges and/or situps with dumbells.

Is that at gym with full access to equipment or home workout?

Is it standing press or seated for barbell?

What about rear delts?

Are you using same weight each set or progressively getting heavier? 

If your not making progress make changes to the workout and make sure your diet is in check.

Need to sort my shoulders out, struggling to balance my bulking atm because I'm not putting on weight with a clean bulk (I'm 6 ft 2 and need to reach around 90kg atm, I'm stuck around 85) but I'm getting unhealthy attempting to dirty bulk it instead to force the growth. Meanwhile I don't think I have a good plan in place for my shoulders as results are at best, inconsistent.

dirty bulk to force the growth... and just gain fat instead of lean mass? just up your calories by 300-500 each day until you start to gain 1lb a week.

good plan for shoulders what are you doing for them currently?

- Thought I'd post and get this thread going again.

My current goals is working on strongman style lifts - atlas stones, stone carries, yoke, log press ect.. I was going to be competing in local strongman competition but due to covid was pushed back to next year so for now focusing on strength gains in those lifts.
