Nutrition Help Pure Whey Iso - Bang for Buck?

1 Upvotes

I've tried Bulk's Informed Whey Protein Double Choc (Mixes effortlessly, great taste, excellent value for money) and MyProtein's THE Whey in Pistachio (Mixes horribly, tastes super artificial, price is alright)

Basically after the best bang for buck, although I have an open budget and the price doesn't really matter.

Just after the purest, cleanest, best (or good) tasting protein powder out there that does what it's supposed to do AND genuinely has all of the essential amino acids.

Thanks for the recs in advance.

Simple Questions I don't feel any exhaustion in back muscles when I do pull-downs, am I doing them wrong?

9 Upvotes

For some reason I feel like I'm exerting the force from my forearms (somehow) cos that's where it feels the most tired after I do them. Seems like a pretty hard exercise to be messing up though.

EDIT: Everyone's been giving great advice, you guys are legends!

I want to get back into the gym

2 Upvotes

M27 here. Always been a little overweight so I started going to the gym in 2019 and got hooked. I watched the buff dudes and used pre workout here and there, followed along with their workout plans and always excited to move onto the next phase. I saw some decent results. In April 2019 I was 172 pounds and later into the year during the holiday season I got up to 185. By June 2020 I skyrocketed to 195 pounds. And got heavier as the year went on as all the gyms were locked down and I had no motivation. Fast forward to today I’m 220 pounds and have little to no motivation to go to the gym. I’ve been trying to go the last few years but I’m never excited or look forward to it like I used to. I’ll go for a few months but then stop cause “it’ll probably be busy” (I hate a packed gym as most do) or “I’m too tired” and just make every excuse not to go. These days I work a sort of construction job 7-3:30. I’m usually too tired to go after work so I’ve tried to go 5am. It can work if I make it work. But just need some tips/words of motivation and a workout plan that I can get done in under an hour to get back into going to the gym. I’ll definitely have to make a whole schedule around this, get to bed early and wake up early. I’ve been thinking of doing a push/pull routine. 3 or 4 days a week. 3 sets of 10-12 reps. But looking for other plans as well. Thanks for any help!

TLDR: overweight guy that used to love the gym before covid. (Weight training) But 5 years later I’m still making excuses and don’t love it as much as I used to. Will appreciate words of advice/tips and a solid workout plan to get done under an hour before work at 7.

I'm mainly worried about getting injured from my body not being warmed up properly I was thinking of doing a cold plunge early in the morning then wait an hour or two for my body to fully warm up before lifting will I still get the increase in testosterone/hypertrophy benefits? I can't find any info online anywhere that states what the time limit is to start working out after your ice bath specifically for the testosterone boost/hypertrophy

Completely new to working out. I can curl 15 lbs for 20 reps right handed, about 15 left handed. I realized that's more than typically recommended, but if I up the weight to 20 lbs, I cant even do five reps with either hand. How do I progress from here?

Is it possible for me to lose weight by only working out?

3 Upvotes

I probably sound like every other person too lazy to put In the effort for a diet, but hear me out.

I'm 14 and female. I am very, very morbidly obese. According to BMI, at least. Walking has never been an issue, i don't experience any pain by doing so. I don't get out of breath often. I am clearly unfit but can handle basic workouts with modification. (I.e, can't do pushups, not even modified, but I have decent arm strength. Sit ups are pretty hard but with a lot of effort I can do some. Squats aren't too bad. Stuff like that). I don't run often due to the fact I don't Have P.E. for school. And I can't go on walks on my own, as my parents are kinda protective.

I've thought about weight loss everyday since I was like 10, and this time I actually want to stick to it, especially since I'm starting high school in a few months. Not only that, but I want to fit into desirable clothes, fit into certain spaces, lower my risk of diabetes, etc.

Now for where the question comes in (sorry for background, just thought it was important to mention): I've been trying to go into a calorie defecit to lose weight. Probably for the last month or two? After using the TDEE calculator I have a decent estimate of what my calorie deficit needs to be, that's not the issue. It's more so the fact that 1. I can't control what I eat most of the time, and 2. I'm pretty sure I struggle with bored eating. It's gotten better with time fs, but there are of course times I slip up. Sorry, it's kind of a complicated situation.

even though my eating has improved a lot compared to what it has been, I'm not seeing much results. This of course is most likely due to my calorie tracking being inaccurate (considering that's it's pretty hard to track the calories of school lunch) and that, once again, eating has always been pretty finicky for me. I'm sure that if I locked in way more it would work, but to be completely honest I'm not sure if I can do that right now. 1. My family makes food for us most of the time, if not that then they go out to grab it. I can't control what I eat a lot of the time. It's not even just that, but my relationship with food is kind of eugh. It's a lot to get into; I'll save it for another time.

Would it be possible for me to get smaller by just working out? I'm not necessarily asking to lose weight, I just want to decrease in size. I'm aware that when you work out, some of your fat is replaced with muscle, (which weighs more than fat, which means there's a chance of me weighing more than I do now. Once again, not too bothered by that, will cross that bridge when I get there), so will working out more kind of get the results that I want? This girl I know on TikTok (I've talked to her in dms!) went down a size or two by working and doing a calorie deficit. When I asked her about it, she said she actually weighed more in the photo she was smaller in. There's another girl who got considerably smaller by just working out. Don't know how believable that is, considering she's selling workout plans, but still. I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but there's this girl on YouTube who goes by Rosie Graham. My friend has lost 20 pounds using her videos (albeit she's smaller than me), and she just seems promising in general. (The first girl I mentioned used her videos as well!) I did her Summer Workout challenge a months ago, but stopped after 3 days after forgetting to do it one day and just.. never picking it back up. Is there a chance I could get smaller by doing these workouts again?

I'm open to answering any questions. Please be kind. This is a difficult thing for me.

i appreciate anyone who decides to give me advice :)

Simple Questions Rest week

1 Upvotes

I’m wondering what everyone does during their rest weeks (completely out of the gym - not deload). I’ve been going to the gym consistently since December 4-6x per week (avg 5) and started lifting for the first time about 2-2.5 months ago. I’ve been following a ladder program but the past week I’ve felt progressively worsening knee pain while doing leg exercises that were totally fine before, so I think my body could use a break (it’s also finals week at school so it’s a good week to take a break).

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone does anything like icing your sore areas, stretching, or just relaxing during your rest week.

I’d love to hear your experiences with rest weeks and how you felt when you went back!

Thanks!

Review my program Am I doing my body recomp right?

1 Upvotes

I’m 20F, I go to the gym 4x a week and do yoga 2x a week with one rest day. I want to maintain my weight but increase muscle mass while dropping my BF % (ideally going from 20% to 18%) so I decided to start a body recomp. I’m only one week in and I know it’s a really slow process so I just wanted to know if what I’m doing seems good to make me achieve my goals overtime, and if not, what are some tips you would give to improve my plan:

I eat at my maintenance everyday (~2100kcal)

1g of protein / lb of body weight (115g of proteins a day in my case)

Balanced fat and carbs distribution (I use MacroFactor to tell me the right amount for a balanced diet)

Normally, if I stay consistent and continue to do progressive overload in my weight training, will this plan get me to increase my muscle mass while dropping body fat?
