Is it true that if i stretch to the bottom for a preacher curl my bicep can tear?

0:44

Im doing it with the bar and 2 10 kg plates on each side

Cold

Is it true that if i stretch to the bottom for a preacher curl my bicep can tear?

every muscle can tear of the bone eventually, but u r most likely not strong enough to tear a muscle tbh

Pas

And I got both my legs and arms sore as hell, idk what am I doing

i guess u trained ur legs and arms

Cold

I think this is more an issue if you're enhanced by PEDS cuz your muscles would grow when ur tendons don't

1:17

When natural its wayyy less likely

It shouldnt happen if im not lifting 50kg+ right

8 Yeah Buddy.... Ain't nuttin' to it, but ta do it @Cold!

Connor

Oh yea

Cold

It shouldnt happen if im not lifting 50kg+ right

Well how much r u lifting on preachers

1:50

Is it machine preachers?

YaltsYaBoi

Is it machine preachers?

Nah

2:11

I do it with the bar

2:11

No clue how heavy the bar is

2:12

But i add another 10 kg plates on each side

2:12

Im able to do more

2:12

But im new and not tryna injure myself yk

Cold

But im new and not tryna injure myself yk

Might be over thinking it

2:12

I highly doubt you're gonna get injured

Ive heard of people doing heavy weights as a beginner

2:13

And injuring themselves

Cold

And injuring themselves

Just do 6 ti 8 reps

2:18

Or if u want do standing curls instead of Preacher

Cold

Ive heard of people doing heavy weights as a beginner

You wont tear a bicep as a beginner

2:27

Just focus on lifting, and stop thinking about all the risks and little things that surround lifting it will really ruin your progress and journey

Heavy weights arent needed for gaining muscle right

2:32

Only for strength training

Cold

Heavy weights arent needed for gaining muscle right

What’s “heavy”?

2:33

That’s all relative

Cold

Heavy weights arent needed for gaining muscle right

Relatively heavy to you is needed

2:34

Can’t tell u the weight tho

2:35

Doing 25 reps of a weight u can throw around ain’t gonna do much

I wouldnt go 15+ as a beginner cuz its boring

Leigh

What’s “heavy”?

I have 2 10kg plates added on each side with the V shaped looking bar (edited)

3:10

I dont know how heavy the bar is

Cold

Ez bar

Cold

I dont know how heavy the bar is

Usually 7.5-10kg

Cold

Heavy is relative to you

Leigh

Ez bar

Yea

If you can reach failure in 8-15 reps it’s heavy enough

Oh okay

3:18

Is there any difference between normal bar bicep curls

3:18

And preacher curls

Cold

Is there any difference between normal bar bicep curls

Not much

Cold

And preacher curls

Preacher curls just allow you to brace up against a pad so it makes the movement harder to use momentum on so it can help target biceps a bit more (edited)

Ah okay

i got a question so im weighing in mid 160s and i get in 160 to 170 grams of protein each day but im losing a pound like every month or two should i up my calorie intake

6:08

ive put on alot of muscle

6:08

but i was thinking for this meal prep this week i should do this recipe i found thats 1036 calories and 66 grams of protein

6:09

or should i stick to my usual recipes that are 530 to 550 calories range 57 grams of protein

Jacob

If your goal is to gain weight then yes, you should increase your calorie intake. Your weight gain/loss is controlled completely by calorie intake. If you don't gain weight its as simple as adding more until you do. Don't add huge amounts in short periods of time, add it bit by bit and wait a few days to see if you gain, if you don't then add more if you do then just continue at that intake, its your surplus.

im trying to just maintain

1 Yeah Buddy.... Ain't nuttin' to it, but ta do it @Jacob!

maybe put on a little bit of weight

Jacob

or should i stick to my usual recipes that are 530 to 550 calories range 57 grams of protein

that also doesn't matter, it matters what works best for you to fit the calories you need for the day

i wanna stay high 160s to 170s

Jacob

im trying to just maintain

then in that case u keep adding till weight stops going down

6:13

once it stays still you're at maintenance

Leigh

then in that case u keep adding till weight stops going down

okay im gonna try this meal prep thats 1033

6:13

66 grams of protein

6:13

ill eat 2 of those each day

6:13

2000 calories

6:13

should be good

Depending on your age and activity levels that might be a bit low

6:14

A lot of people will need 2000-2,600 just to maintain their weight

6:14

some people need even over 3,000

Leigh

A lot of people will need 2000-2,600 just to maintain their weight

i think i need around 2k

6:15

cause i barely lose any

6:15

the pound i lose is more like every 2 months

You probably just need to add 200kcal to ur current intake then

yeah that will put it around 2000

Weather was awful yesterday

16:20

Ran 24.8 and 11.8. Actually felt like a really good 100m but it was so cold and wet

Varelyn

That sucks

16:29

A trans athlete got banned from 1500m world champs @Varelyn

Really? That’s crazy

16:52

I was a non scorer though. We had 9 of us so a heat of 5 and heat of 4. I was running with people that were like low -mid 12s so I had nobody to really run against

Varelyn

Really? That’s crazy

nvm I'm pretty sure my dad read a fake news post

16:54

cus i cant find it anywhere

16:54

‍♂️

Varelyn

I was a non scorer though. We had 9 of us so a heat of 5 and heat of 4. I was running with people that were like low -mid 12s so I had nobody to really run against

damn 9 is a lot for a team in one discipline

I mean 9 non scorers, but as a club we did have like 8 tbf

16:57

So it basically just felt like a training session

Varelyn

I mean 9 non scorers, but as a club we did have like 8 tbf

What would you rate the season out of 10?

Probably a 7 I’d say

18:20

I stopped doing a lot in the gym too early I think

18:20

But 11.55 is a good time

18:20

I think i could have gotten it lower though into the 11.4s

18:21

But my average times are like 0.4s faster than last season

18:21

I was averaging 12.1-11.9

18:24

Now I pretty much get around 11.7 every time

18:25

But it’s always been setting up for a crazy season 3-4 years in

180 Yeah Buddy.... Ain't nuttin' to it, but ta do it @Varelyn!

I’m maintaining 75.0kg

18:25

Pretty easily actually

18:26

I’ll look to keep this going into winter

18:29

My strength has maintained too

faaaackkk

What’s that?

Varelyn

What’s that?

tofu with a whole bunch of stuff

18:38

I crumbled up spicy korean balduk macarroni chips as a topping. also topped with black and white sesame seeds and spring onions.

18:39

sauce is: gojujang, soy sauce, sugar, pureed onion and garlic, spring onions, vegetable oil, MSG, sesame oil (edited)

That sounds so good

Varelyn

That sounds so good

this on a bed of short grain rice would make it an awesome complete dish

18:55

or maybe make it look slightly more like bibimbap, add some other toppings

@Leigh divine ran 10.29

19:52

The whole heat was sub 10.5
