    August 11, 2024 at 11:57 am in reply to: Cooperatng RDL and Hip Thrusts

    Hipthrust are def a must, they are very complete !

    Basically for a perfect glutes growth you need :

    A squat variation (lunges/squat go in this one)

    A stretching variation (rdl goes in this one)

    A hip extension variation (hipthrust goes in this one)

    A kickback variation

    An abduction variation (seated abduction or abduction with the cable)

    So in your question you got the answer : no.

    Adduction and abductions are not enough for glutes growth, and adductors are more part of your legs than your glutes though.

    You need a squat(or lunges), a hipthrust, a rdl, a kickback variation, and an abduction movement.

    And mind that the squat/lunges movement can target the glutes (and hams) or the quads so be careful for the execution if you wanna target your glutes (you upper body will have to lean forward more than on a quads focus variation).

    I would do in this order

    Hipthrust

    Kickback

    Rdl

    Squat

    Abduction.

    Now as you go for a full body, it’s gonna be complicated for you if you want a glutes growth as glutes workout are very taxative, as much as a quads session.

    I would go for a muscular group split personally if my goal is a significant glutes growth

    If you don’t wanna change your full body

    I would always do glutes first with hipthrust, bulgarian lunges and then a squat for quads and rdl for glutes/hams.

    Hello Ben. I would refeed for some days, just to remove stress, see some progression at the gym and more energies.

    As the others 2/3 could be good.

    But also you mentioned going to holidays soon, depending on your goals ofc

    But holidays are holidays if bodybuilding is your hobby : so enjoy, track your proteins daily at least and watch not being overfed or underfed. But disconnect a little or not : do what makes you feel good in holidays without messing your efforts of the past weeks.

    If bodybuilding is not just a hobby and you aim to compete in the future, or maybe you gonna compete soon : stick to your plan in holidays, when being sick it is counterproductive to push things, but when being in holidays, you have no reason to do a diet break

    Hello Tobi.

    I do yes. But I am very very careful while training : spend much more time to warm up, I am using for sure my sleeves on that day, cause fatigue car put yourself in troubles.

    Also to sleep better, you have to cut boosters, caffeine, and also stop using screens before going to sleep.

    Bad technique but efficient : close the eyes and count the sheeps.

    You need to empty your mind from thoughts and listen your breath

    August 7, 2024 at 1:50 pm in reply to: Combining high frequence/High intensity training with running

    Hello Xaver

    The small problem here is that running is very demanding on cardio and for your legs

    I am afraid that a full body alrernated with running 3x per week will not let you recover properly

    I think you should go for a split like this:

    One muscle group per training day for upper body

    Only one lower body workout per week far from your running days

    That’s the only option I see here

    Maybe better to work on a rotation instead of working on a week schedule

    August 6, 2024 at 10:36 am in reply to: Itchy scalp

    Itchy scalp / dry scalp is one of the secondary effect of steroids.

    It can also come from something else, ofc, but as a non natural athlete, this is the main cause for me.

    It happens often on bikinis, wellness, figure athletes.

    You HAVE to make a blood work yes, and check your complete hormonal panel.

    Itchy/dry scalp is the step number one

    Then you start to feel pain / sensitivity in your scalp on your roots and hair will break/fall easier, that’s the number 2 step.

    It’s related to dht and also to the hair follicule itself yes, if you did not change your hair routine, it cannot come from the products (shampoos) you use.

    Also steroids can have a significant impact on the 5 alfa redutase 2, depending on the dose/molecule/duration of use and personal response which is proper to each individual.

    Also coupled with a deficit, it might slow down drastically the growth of your hair, so the normal cycles of your hair can be messed up.

    The most important for you now : is get this blood work done, and being followed by a doctor which is used to work with bodybuilders and who can advise you on the next steps.

    My doctor is super great AndrΓ© Rizzuti on instagram (he is brasilian, so he will not be able to give you any prescriptions but at least he knows his thing)

    Thank u Maddy πŸ™‚β€β†”οΈβ€οΈπŸ«ΆπŸΌ

    Anson : the first years at the gym will be the years when you will have the more progresses : cause you start from “zero” to “gym” + “diet”, so I will go for the same I have experienced, one day : one muscle group, as you will probably don’t lift hugely heavy ; your recovery will be fine even if you train 6x per week, but just make sure to let each muscle rest properly btw sessions

    Hello everyone

    Weighted myself this am, and already 2kg dropped compared to yesterday.

    And 600gr less compared to friday at the checkin.

    This am fasted I did my 30min cardio (walk on the treadmill) then, food shopping, and glutes workout.

    I still don’t have my new program of glutes workout so i just kept my previous one and removed the angles to size down the hips, of this is something achieveable (which i doubt) this will be the only way.

    I already removed all legs workouts, and all knee flexion for glutes workout since months. So this will be the only option we see clearly.

    As I am not able to push for figure or wellness, I think I will let myself one more year for bikini, and then we will see if it gonna works or not.

    Facts are that when I won my two qualifications for the Olympia, I was the best on those shows, cause no one came up better, but I already had those hips, but now that the level is higher in bikini, they also choose according to the bones structure, which I find totally normal, but I am too much in x.

    This off season will be needed for me, it was a long prep, since sept 23 in deficit, so I need some time off.

    My love for the sport remains the same, but training only 2/3x a week and just glutes is boring.

    Let’s see what gonna happen in the new prog I will receive but I think I gonna do a lot of hiit πŸ™ƒ lol
