Remember that you use a different portion of your musculature in the horizontal plane of motion than you do in the vertical. Their is carry over but specificity of training is important to gain specific results.💪

Most effective ways to build the strength to do a pull up are negatives ( jump to the top and lower as slow as possible) or to use a band like you would see at a crossfit gym. The trick is to use progressive overload so use a slower tempo or a smaller band each time to move you closer to a full unassisted pull-up. Good luck 😀

put a few drops of hot sauce in every cup of soda, then drink as much as you want (it wont be much). after a while the taste of soda will make you want to vomit... worked for me lol

generally cravings are your body telling you its missing somthing, be it fats, sugars, salt, calcium or somthing else. try to snack on a similar but healthy alternative when you feel a craving coming on... for example if you really want iced cream try pudding or yogurt as an alternative. just a thought

is heavy lifting 3x a week enough to put on mass? or should i move to 5 days a week?

I would try it out with a rep or two and see how it feels. if you dont have a squat rack with bail out bars I would do front squats just for saftey if you crumble. that or pick up a few more plates I have been putting it off for a while now good luck

form looks pretty good, started adding the plates slowly. im trying to get to 200lbs body weight over the next 6 months

I try really hard to eat as little processed food as possible, plus im lactose intolorant so some of the most high calorie high protine foods are out of the question. im 170lbs 5'10"

I have the same problem my whole right side is larger than my left. chest, shoulder, arm, etc. i started doing dumbell press instead of bench and when I do curls I do 1 additional set on the weak side. also I started really focusing on not favoring my strong side.

pizza, very tempting. =..(

week one was pretty awesome! added 2 protine shakes a day to my diet bringing me right up to about 140Grams of protine a day and 3500 calories. still having a hard time getting the last 500 in but im pretty proud. and made huge progress on my deadlift and squat form (a coworker is a crossfit guy and helped me get it down) I will be crushing woodland elves in no time =P

Im new to NF, and jumping into the 6 week challenge a little late. If anyone has constructive criticism feel free to let me know =) STATS: LVL1 celt/warrior STR: 4 DEX: 2 STA: 3 CON: 2 WIS: 2 CHA: 2 Challenge! Diet: 1) eat a serving of protine at least 6 times a day. +2 CON, +2 STR 2) increase daily calorie intake to 4000 (currently about 3000) +1 STA Fitness: 1) master squat and deadlift form so I can start loading up the weight without injury (I have a back arching issue) +2 STR, + 1 STA Life goal: 1) Add 500$ to my savings account +2 WIS

stretch, water, good food, and sleep. If you dont have any abnormal joint pain rest up a day or two then get back into the fight good luck

Hey. Im 22 years old and have a confession... I know nothing about technology, I have a hard time operating the tredmil at the gym. So free weights are a godsend for me. Im an army medic and know a decent amount about health and fitness. To me nothing is more interesting than the human body anatomy and physiology, and how we can manipulate it with diet and exercise. I look forward to leveling up with all of you. im 5'10" 170 lbs. goal is to add 20 lbs of muscle by next year.
