Continue here, it is interesting to see what we all are doing and what is your fitness goal? I am going this week and I am going today.
I go 3 times a week and I do full body workouts and my goal is to bulk up. I track my macros everyday and I eat about 3000 calories daily. I use mynetdiary to log it, it is a fun and an interactive app.
What motivates you to go? I like to watch alot of training videos and I follow few utubers like nick wright, thomas maw and I like as well 3d abs with the great dane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmGfHk46OSU  |

Yep....leg day today. We are building up to setting a new ORM on squats on Mondays ...currently at 125kg for me. Will go out and do some upper body at lunch too |

I think I’ll get back into it this week. Picked up an unknown virus in Aus in January and was hospitalised for a week and lost 6kg in 10 days. It’s been a while recovering and I’m about ready to ease myself back into it at a reduced pace. Hopefully it won’t be too bad but I think my running will be easier with less weight now!! |

Just been
Weights, then a tiny bit of treadmill. I don’t tend to mix but today I did.
6 weeks in and I have reversed a diabetes diagnosis, lost 22lb and 6 inches from my waist.
Long way to go but step by step  |

I’m borderline vegan so eat well but my weight comes from very large constant doses of steroids.
Cutting fizzy drinks, breads and sugar was all I needed to do. And move more. |

Went tonight. Trying to get back onto it after 3 really light weeks due to a flare up of my disability shite. In that time, I spent 2wks in bed for most of the day, ate minimally and lost 4kg! I've never lost 4kg in my life before in one go
Need to try not to aggravate my pain and try to minimise the impact on my impinged shoulder too. Easy when you know how...... |

I'm not lifting heavy weights at the gym this week as I've got a tough fitness test to do this weekend and DOMS wouldn't help. I have done 150 push ups (3x50), a two mile run and 50 tricep dips tonight though, that's my 'taking it easy' |

This weekend I've got to do a 4km march carrying 40kg, followed straight away by a 2km best effort run carrying 26kg, then without a rest straight into a series of other physical tasks like a stretcher carry and shuttle runs carrying 25kg power bags etc. It's pretty tough going! |

Although adding muscle and losing fat are not impossible they are for most people the most difficult
I'd recommend for you training to build muscle but eating to lose fat
The result is your muscles after a short adaptation will not grow however you will lose fat
If YOU eat to try add muscle YOU will not lose much if any fat
I say you because the balance is so fine unless YOU really know what youre doing the result will be added fat
Keep up the good work and lose BULK from your vocabulary xxx |

Didn't want to go this morning, as it was freezing cold out and bouncing down but got there and had a great session.
The hour flew over.

"Here is the reason of why I am only training 3 days a week and that is cos of the protein synthesis recovery time which is 96hrs a week "
Full body today
The theory is debatable shag
I train 5 days
Have trained many differing ways
My Gains as they say usually come 3 and over 4 to 5 my butter zone
Naturals need training to stimulate growth which lasts 24 48 hrs after training
45 mins training daily gives 23 hrs of recovery for the " synthesis to occur
As one ages iv noted "rest" days become more troubling than beneficial
Even on a "rest " day one practices active recovery
Be careful that data you read is not primarily focused on a non natural lifter

"Here is the reason of why I am only training 3 days a week and that is cos of the protein synthesis recovery time which is 96hrs a week "
Protein synthesis hits its peak around 24hrs after exercise, as has been pointed out by another poster, it drops of significantly from then on.
Protein synthesis lasts no more than an estimated 48hrs but it's safe to say 36hrs till it drops to it's baseline.
A person taking Anabolics, Insulin or HGH would exceed these times.
Protein synthesis is the only real time that muscle really grows.
You can boost the effects of Protein synthesis naturally with good Diet and research.

That is right and I know that too, those on steroids could train every day as the steroids helps the recovery time alot quicker whilst naturals should focus on more rest days or they could over train alot easier. |

Other way round shag
A user need only train less because synthesis is stimulated by the drugs
A natty NEEDS training to stimulate the natural muscle building processes which only last 24 to max 48 hrs after training best 24 then diminish
A natty should train nigh on daily for biggest gains but with reduced daily volume not to destruction
Every moment after your 45 min work out will be "recovery" with protein synthesis
After 45 mins your trashed muscles will still slow down synthesis after 24 36 hrs
Nattys can needlessly over train for optimal growth
Regular optimal stimulation is much better than less frequent annihilation |

I would still say the 96hrs option is the best as I believe that less is more although on a cutting program training more is the way to go there, it works for me. |

With training with time under tension 4 second reps as you will recruit more muscle fibres. |

When cutting I go for less is more
I dont do cardio I train 3 rep max single rep all body
3 days to maintain strength and muscle mass
Cutting is done with diet not exercise to much exercise on a calorific deficit causes high cortisol thus higher catabolism
I think your misunderstanding the 96 hr meaning |

Gains aherm, tend to come from regular volume I usually recommend 2 to 3 days for maintenance That is right and I know that too, those on steroids could train every day as the steroids helps the recovery time alot quicker whilst naturals should focus on more rest days or they could over train alot easier.
Other way round shag
A user need only train less because synthesis is stimulated by the drugs
A natty NEEDS training to stimulate the natural muscle building processes which only last 24 to max 48 hrs after training best 24 then diminish
A natty should train nigh on daily for biggest gains but with reduced daily volume not to destruction
Every moment after your 45 min work out will be "recovery" with protein synthesis
After 45 mins your trashed muscles will still slow down synthesis after 24 36 hrs
Nattys can needlessly over train for optimal growth
Regular optimal stimulation is much better than less frequent annihilation I would still say the 96hrs option is the best as I believe that less is more although on a cutting program training more is the way to go there, it works for me.
When cutting I go for less is more
I dont do cardio I train 3 rep max single rep all body
3 days to maintain strength and muscle mass
Cutting is done with diet not exercise to much exercise on a calorific deficit causes high cortisol thus higher catabolism
I think your misunderstanding the 96 hr meaning "
No. I think we have to agree and disagree on that one here. |

I train 3 days per week. Weights at the gym and calisthenics at home. Currently in the middle of a lean bulk. When I was cutting I was on a slight calorie deficit, I increased protein, and I did early morning HIIT three times per week. I also fasted until 6pm on the days I did HIIT. I occasionally do HIIT because it feels great. |

On which point shag and it's not really me who is disagreeing with you just evidence based studies
So let's look at this
One trains on Monday lunch for 45 all body
Natural protein synthesis is elevated
One eats correctly for the next 24 hrs . What are you suggesting if one trains again synthesis will stop ?
Training for a natty is like sugar in tea x will equally maximise sweetness there is an amount after which tea does not become sweeter
Granted there was old skool thought that muscle synthesis came only from muscle damaged from training however at least another 2 pathways stimulated by training are known and training method not destruction are key
I say muscle destruction because the ONLY reasoning a 96 hr rest period can be advised as preferable is if one had trained so hard that a quality workout would not be possible
Yet even with very sore broken muscles a tut workout would still increase the bodies muscle synthesis pathways and hormones and by default add more
New school is not anhialation it is indeed tut and rest pause its weekly not session volume and it is knowing a muscle can be effectively trained concurrent days even if sore
New school tells us nattys that to grow we need the hormonal magic that training gives us and that is valid for 24 36 hrs
Train intelligently and daily eat correctly and your body with bathe in its growth juices
Over train in a session or wrong sort of cardio you will release cortisol that's catabolic not anabolic thus counter productive
The chemicals Users can take change the game and vastly counter the effects of cortisol
Again the only 2 reasons I can understand a 96 hr window is
That's the time I have
Perfectly understandable
My muscles just hurt too much
Wrong approach to training methods and counter productive
But neither justify the concept for maximum muscle synthesis |

No the synthesis wont stop but it wont be as optimal as compared of the one that trains 3 days a week as he might train mon wed and fri so he allows his body to take the full amount of the time from the protein synthesis time of 96hrs, it depends of course how a person like to train some like more and some less, studies show even twice a week would be enough, with training a full body workout as you hit your body parts multiple times week wich is good there. |

Studies show once to twice a week enough for maintenance for a natty
Studies show once a week per body part to oblivion a t user
Studies show 3 plus times weekly for a natty to grow
Studies show optimal growth conditions fall off steeply after 36 hrs without further stimulus
Strength is a different matter but muscle synthesis is weekly volume at very regular intervals |

"Continue here, it is interesting to see what we all are doing and what is your fitness goal? I am going this week and I am going today.
I go 3 times a week and I do full body workouts and my goal is to bulk up. I track my macros everyday and I eat about 3000 calories daily. I use mynetdiary to log it, it is a fun and an interactive app.
What motivates you to go? I like to watch alot of training videos and I follow few utubers like nick wright, thomas maw and I like as well 3d abs with the great dane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmGfHk46OSU "
Nothing motivates me... nothing but a goal. So I run 3 to 4 times a week. I need to get my bike out this week. I have a duathlon 2-5-1 at the end of March. My goal is to beat my time from last April. I have a Super sprint Triathlon in May and a Sprint distance in September.... and each month from March is to do a duathlon and just better my time and have fun.... build strength and s_amina. I monitor on MyFitnessPal. I havent run for 3 weeks due to home stuff and a bad back... oh... and my lovely bestie has booked us on a 5k 28 inflatable obstacle race.... as one does! But no gym. |

I do both
They complement each other beautifully
Iv also found practicing or doing something repetitively and being able to focus on a beneficial task deemed tedious is exceptionall for achieving difficult goals
Personally I'm not the greatest fan of peddling my mountain bike 3 to 6 km up hill however the reward both psychological and physical and of course the following down hill section balance out the perceived tedium of the uphill to a degree I in a warped way kinda like it
I'd suggest viewing the gym as only a boring way to fitness is an exceptionally narrow indeed erroneous perspective which means the body and mind will miss out on from my perspective a very valuable part of cross/whole body mind development xxx  |

5k on the chair must make it ache. What’s the main muscle used there? Must be a lot of tricep and lower chest? |

If you're doing it right, traps, delts and triceps definitely. When the fatigue sets in, I start overusing my wrist and hand to try and compensate. The trick is to get your weight as far over the big wheels as possible and use your whole downward shoulder push to generate power, not just your arms. Getting an 85kg prowler moving with only rests to switch the tow rope around was tough last night |

If you don't like squats don't do it.
It's by far the most technical lift and difficult to get it right for most people.

In all honesty, leg press will strengthen your legs plenty, leg extensions and ham curls added in is more than enough. |

Some of us can't do those things due to disability. I can lift weights if seated or lying down but I can't stand and lift off the floor, for example. I need a person to set things up for me, bring things to wheelchair height. Also the gym has equipment I have no room for a home, nor an appropriate surface to train on. I can't lift one leg against gravity hence the struggle to do body weight stuff even lying down. |

Mine is a necessity for competition.

Pure gym have now isolated certain machines at my gym to keep the 2 meter separation required for social distancing. I actually think gyms should be closed but I'll keep going to mine until it does |

I think it's all self assessment right some people can still be safe if they go it all depends on how clean it gym is and how many people have the virus in ur area

Going tonight - leg day. Goal is just to push hard and progressively overload with every session. Only problem is that a good session leaves me very horny - does anyone else have that reaction to a good workout? |
