Yup unless you work at some posh gym where high profile people train, the pay is quite miniscule most of the times. But slowly the things are changing with the better onset of online / Online cum offline training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had high muscle wasting due to certain drugs and medical conditions, but I am not too happy giving him Ensure/Horlicks etc. Other than the brand's mentioned by others you can give Naturaltein (naturaltein.in) & Gayor Essentials (gayoressentials.com) a try. I have been using both since a couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix the cat Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) I lost 7 kg in one and half month, from 72 to 65. I was at 65kg in march, put on little more than 7kg in three months. I wanted to lose some weight because of my sister's wedding ceremony in feb It took little efforts,i followed a fatloss diet of 1500 calories, in 500 deficit than my maintenance calories. My macros are : carbs:100g, protein:150g, fats:60g. With 5 days a week excersize. I only eat eggs no meat, so it took little more effort to maintain 150g of protein. Now that i have achieved my goal in weight but still have some fat on my body, i will change my diet and jump on to clean gaining diet for clean gain but no fat and after maybe 69 or 70kg will change my diet again for fat loss. I hope i will achieve what i have pictured, a lean body till feb. Im sharing this if anyone need any help .

Maybe i strained a bit more once as had to leave early - this mostly. Or have always eat plenty of red meat with no salads. Indian toilets are better, wish had them.

LordSpymaster Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Do we have a separate thread for fitness accessories? Till then asking this here: What's a good fitness tracker (i.e. Not a smartwatch)? Looking at the Fitbit Charge 5, but open to suggestions. Apart from fitness stuff, all I need are notifications for calls, apps I allow and my work profile of possible.

KunjanPSD Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 What to do for faster recovery post workouts? I have been experiencing muscle soreness for atleast 2-3 days post every workout and that reduces my intensity in the next workout. I am getting 7-8hrs of sleep but I assume it's my schedule of gym - work - sleep which is taking toll. I have been recommended to add Creatine (1-2gm a day) but I am not sure if it will help. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? Do stretching post workout. Spend at least 15-20 min properly stretching out all muscles you just worked out. 2-3 days is very normal, this is why you target alternate muscles and push-pull-push-pull workouts on alternate days. For eg back/lats/biceps on day 1, chest/shoulder/triceps on day 2, legs on day 3 and rest on day 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of my workouts are strength conditioning and functional, so it's always multiple muscles groups at a time but they include as much stretching and alternation as possible. The need is to improve the recovery even after these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the soreness only happens when I change the routine and use different machine etc. First leg day it took me 14 days to completely recover, couldn't even walk straight for a week. But now it takes like 2 days for same routine. Its also an age thing, you recover lot faster in teens and 20s compared to 30s and 40s.

It's mainly due to tight schedule with my work. Get done by gym at 9AM, office by 10:30AM and then back home by 9PM. This includes quite a commute. I am sure this is messing my recovery because I didn't use to have extended soreness when my work was remote, it's been almost 3 months of regular WFO now. Maybe I am not as tough as the olden guys who used to walk 15kms to work but now after consulting a couple educated nurtitionists, I was recommended to take some nutritional supplements over my regular whey. I know creatine really works for building muscle and strength, few sources about enhanced recovery but I wanted to know first hand experience.

Muscle soreness and doms usually go away after couple of months of steady routine. I'm 42 and I can do gym 5 days a week because it doesn't hurt anymore beside maybe a slight tingle. If you're sore after every workout even after 2-3 months then its definitely stress and diet, and maybe high inflammation markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for sure the physical stress. I am trying to make my diet better. Let's see, gonna read up more about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend beta-leucine from procell. 4. Active recovery: add 10 mins of low intensity movement for doms affected muscle groups. Eg: easy walk for leg soreness. Target is to get them warmed up and get the blood flowing. 5. Try meditation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard about leucine helping in recovery, I will have to read more. You won't recommend creatine? 4. Nice suggestion, not sure how I will do it but will try. 5.

achilles Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, KunjanPSD said: 3. You won't recommend creatine? Absolutely recommend creatine HCL but the purpose is added work capacity and better muscular function. Also don’t count the scoops, but get bioavailable protein in grams atleast equal to 1.5x body weight in kg. If bw is 80kg, get atleast 120gms of bioavailable protein. Whey is 100% bioavailable. So is egg. Increase to 2x if recovery is still an issue. Lastly, ZMA before bed time atleast 2 hours after previous meal or 30 mins before last meal. ZMA is magic. Get from a reputed source and brand. If recovery still needs an edge, add fish oil. Though you should be taking fish oil regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
