What happens if I continue lifting weights but eat less?
I've been lifting weights for a while now and I'm happy with the ammount of muscle I have but I still have some fat id like to lose.
If I keep lifting but eat less will i maintain the muscle i have now while losing weight or will I lose muscle as well?

Can't feel my side deltoids while doing lateral raises.
Can anyone give me some tips on how to maximize side deltoid use while doing lateral raises? I really want to grow my shoulders but I just can't feel them being used.

Can we talk about sandbag training?
Like a lot of people, I've been finding new ways to work out. I found out I should expect to WFH until June and suspect gyms will continue to be closed regardless of whatever restrictions are lifted in the near-term, so I bought some sandbags.
This is completely new to me and I have questions, but I also suspect I'm not the only person who was either (1) curious, and/or; (2) new to this kind of training. I'd like to hear others' experiences, whether you're learning a new way to workout or have been doing this for a while:
- How should I adjust my expectations? I'm used to your traditional compound lifts with linear progression yada yada. What I've gleaned so far is that one should not hope at all to track weight increases, so how do you suggest measuring progress? How did you manage weight (e.g., you put in approximately X lbs and just used that same weight for all workouts, or you changed the weight each workout, etc.?)
- Any recommended routines for people who have been lifting for a while but are new to sandbags?
- Best practices?
- Things you wish you had known before starting?
- Incorporating a weighted vest?
- Have you worked in any resistance band training to supplement the sandbag training?
Thanks. I've been looking for ways to get outside anyway so I am trying to look at the silver lining, but I'd like to routinize this as much as I can so I'll stick to it.

Wearing a 40 lb weight vest while doing farmers walks
I'm curious if anyone thinks this is a good idea, to wear a weighted vest while training heavy farmers walk. I'm a beginner to the farmers walk and I'd like to get as much out of the exercise as possible. Would a 40 lb vest make a big difference (Muscle and Strength) wise or would it just make the exercise into more of a cardio workout? What would be the pros and cons of wearing a weight vest while doing farmers walk twice a week? Opinions please..

When in a calorie deficit does it depend on genetics, diet and/or exercise how your body prioritizes the source of fuel it uses and to what ratio and order it uses?
So, let's say you are in a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day and you are at a 15% body fat level. What does it depend on what your body starts using among the different available sources of fuel (body fat, dietary fat, dietary protein, lean muscle tissue, dietary carbs, glycogen stores, etc) to keep you alive?
Does it depend on how, when and what you eat; how, when, for how long and what you exercise, your genetics?
Curious to hear your opinions.

Reduced obesity for weighted-vest wearers
Scientists have found a new method of reducing human body weight and fat mass using weighted vests. The new study indicates that there is something comparable to built-in bathroom scales that contributes to keeping our body weight and, by the same token, fat mass constant.

How often can/should I run while doing a 6 day PPL?
A little background.
36/m/6'0 (currently 181 lbs). My lifting experience is about 2 years and I have been cutting down from about 212 lbs since the end of December of last year. In 2015 I stoped running after doing the Chicago marathon because I had tweaked my knee pretty bad and it was often painful to run more than a mile or so.
This is the first cut where I have attempted to get down very lean (10% or so body fat) and am currently around 13-15%. This cut started in a simple nutrition change of putting my self in a caloric deficit (while doing the 4-day PHUL program that I was doing pre-cut); then later evolved into a caloric deficit + doing two 2 mile walks with the dogs a day. My current routine is a 6 day PPL - two 2 mile walks - I've been running about between 2-4 miles usually 2 times a week - and a daily calorie intake of between 2000-2200 Calories.
Recently two things have occurred.
1: I've started to enjoy running again at this new lower weight.
2: I've hit a bit of a weight loss plateau.
So I'm trying to leverage my rekindling of enjoying running to break this plateau - and make running a staple of my programs from here on out.
My question is what is too much? I'd like to incorporate running on a daily basis at a little bit further distance, but I am a little afraid of putting too much strain on my body and risking injury or burn out.
Any thoughts/feedback is appreciated.

Is a PPL split better?
I’ve been doing Chest/triceps, back/biceps and shoulders/legs twice a week with a pair of dumbbells since quarantine started. I’m not sure if this is effective so I was considering switching to a PPL split. Does PPL include abs and is it better for gains?

I bought a Rowing Machine. Dam I’m unfit
Hi,
I was hoping someone could help with a bit of advice, I’ve googled all sorts and gained snippets of information but the question I have about my results seem unclear.
Little about me, 31 years old. 5ft 8in and I weigh 65kg. I don’t exercise anymore. And I drink everyday, so I thought I need to turn stuff around, anyway.
I bought a rowing machine, magnetic as it’s quiet for our neighbours. I started exercising on Tuesday 28th.
Day 1: I did 4 minutes row with a resistance of 2, 10 sits-ups, 10-press ups, 10 lunges, 10 squats, 10 bench presses, and a light jog. Nearly killed me.
(I thought I’d change my workout for Day 2)
Day 2: I managed to do 10 minutes of rowing. Didn’t time. And rested.
Day 3 (today): 500m, Resistance 4, I did it in 12:57, 421 strokes, according to the rowing machine.
Everywhere I google it says i should have done 500m row in 2 minutes. Also it’s equivalent of a sprint. But I had a resistance of 4 on the rowing machine so surly that would be different from a sprint.
Any help or guidance in my result for Day 3 would be very kind and possibly some future advice with a schedule for my fitness level. Not sure weather just to do 500m everyday until I get it to 2 minutes.
Thank you

Do small wrists affect bicep curls?
Hi Everyone,
So, my goal is to curl as heavy as I can in the cleanest form possible. So far I have had no problems doing 40s and transitioning to 45s. I'm Just wondering, regardless of forearm muscle (which I know for a fact that will help in curling), do small wrists add any disadvantage to curling? (I have 6'' wrists :( )
Just asking because recently I found that my forearms are my primary weakness in curling heavier weights. Thanks in advance

Brain insulin sensitivity determines body weight and fat distribution
Just where fat is deposited in the body and to what degree a person may benefit from a lifestyle intervention depends on how sensitive the brain is to insulin. If the person's brain responds sensitively to the hormone, a significant amount of weight can be lost and unhealthy visceral fat. People with brain insulin resistance only showed a slight weight loss. These are the results of a long-term study.

Weak hip stability
I get so shaky and weak and unable to control myself when I hold a glute bridge for too long. Fairly new to fitness training and learned for the first time how weak my glutes are.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this you're welcome to share! :)

Feeling sore or strained a muscle?
I did eccentric exercises for my knees yesterday and all day today I have been feeling sore in my quads and then down to my upper calf. I am not sure if this is just soreness because I’m weak or if I have strained a muscle or ligament. It’s not a sharp pain it’s more of a strong dull ache or throbbing inflammation. I will go to ice it but am just worried I made things worse. I experienced work on these muscles and did not have any pain while doing them. I thought I had a very good workout so it’s gonna suck if I ended up making things worse. Any answers would help!
